Looks like obama has screwed us all

[nunya business 20]

Just got off the Phone with USCIS this evening I got some discouraging news when you call USCIS first tier what ever times they give you double them, I am not kidding, if they say 5 months expect 10 months or longer! Obama and his Amnesty act has screwed all of us doing this the legal way and guess who gets priority now not us who sit by and wait and wait and wait but the ones who got here illegally and they don't have to pay a dime not one red penny! I hope every one has lots of time and lots of patience because you are in for a long agonizing ride! Oh and just to let you know USPS lost my petition some guy named thornquist is having a good time with the money I sent. and you KNOW what USCIS said for me to do WAIT and when i said i should cancel the money order and start over she said i would not do that if i was you i asked why she would not tell me she just kept saying their favorite word Wait! Wait!

So it's Obama's fault the post office lost your petition? Lolz. He's only one out of a long line of recent presidents who have supported gutting spending on federal agencies, like the post office and USCIS. Are you even sure it got lost? What information has USPS given you?

If it is in fact gone forever then YES you should cancel or put a stop payment on your money order and send a new packet. This is why the guides say to make a complete copy of the petition packet in case something like this happens.

Chill out and try again. Chances are this is not going to be the last time this immigration process frustrates you.

no he did not lose my petition he is causing the long agonizing waiting periods for processing to happen good people who do this the right way should not be thrown to the wayside so an illegal can get in!

It's clear you don't know anything about the Deferred Action Program. Go learn something since you will be waiting, waiting, waiting (like all the rest of us) you have time on your hands: http://www.dhs.gov/deferred-action-childhood-arrivals .

FYI wait times are long from a combination of factors, not just this new program. It is mostly because USCIS has laid off half their employees and dramatically cut funding in the last 2 years. That you can thank Congress for.

You should be blaming the parents who came here illegally with their children in tow. Children who grew up here, went to school here, and are here by no fault of their own. These children want the opportunity to remain in the only place they know as home. Our government has a conscience...I find no fault in that. Obviously you don't know the first thing about this legislation. You are being selfish because it may take your case a month or 2 longer to get through USCIS, oh boohoo. Your case and check being lost has zero to do with Deferred Action.

I know more about it then you think the cutoff age is 32 not 17 32! 32 is not a child 32 is an adult a child by all US standard is anyone under the age of 18 a child I can understand but not 18 to 32 year old adults give me a break!

no panic... just means you've been moved from one thread to another that is more appropriate for your situation

Well some people are being approved from July and some from August (2-3) so we will wait another 2-3 months but I don't think 10 or more.

I agree.. if you are honest and do things the right way, you have a lot of hassle to go through. It is frustrating beyond belief. It took us 9 month to get through with USCIS... and they lied to me from the beginning. I told them I was living overseas with my husband, but they told me I had to give a US address on the i-130. I told them I can give them an address in the US, but I don't live there right now as I am living in Australia-I also gave them plently of evidence of me living in Australia. They said they don't send anything overseas. Lies.. lies. I also had to fly back to America last Sept for an interview with Homeland Security. When I called USCIS to ask why I was scheduled for an interview (it is NOT part of the normal process), no one could tell me why. All they said is that if you don't go, they will most likely deny the petition. So 9 months from the beginning and thousands of extra dollars later, I got approved for the petition. But it was only after I was in America that I found out US citizens living overseas with their spouse can get their petition auto expedited!! USCIS denied the whole thing when I called them up about it. Now we are nearly done with NVC.. that's another drama. So I understand your frustration with this process... we have been going through it for well over a year. But like you said, let's have millions of illegal people get into America.. no worries for them!
