My God... More than 2,57,000 are in waiting list for F2A.......
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at his numbers, It seems we have to wait long time to get our priority dates current....
ReplyDeleteYep, this is the stat from uscis, supply is only 89,000 while demand is over 250,000 for F2A each year. Thats why F2A applicants must wait at least 2 years tho.
ReplyDeleteGeez! How many people are in line ! Scary !
ReplyDeleteYou can never trust what they release. As they say something, show something and do something... Not everything is in sync.
ReplyDeleteTrue, They kept F2A current to increase demand and them bam!! stopped its movement completely for months.. numbers from them are sometimes released strategically to keep demand up if you ask me.
DeleteThat is why we all F2A people need to contact the white house, senators, and representatives and write to them that this F2A situation is forcing newly-wed couples to live separately from each other for 2-5 years. It did not even let the spouse get visitor visas. I have sent letters and I request all the 257k F2A fellows to please please start writing letters to congress and whitehouse...
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Everyone needs to do this. Especially now since the struggle for getting spouses of those legally here are not well represented in the discussions of immigration reform.
DeleteWhite House knows what is this legal immigration.We don't need to call to White House.
DeleteThey are care about us same like about illegally .Don't be worry.Just wait.
Well said, every one must do this, write a letter and express your feelings, pain so they can take some steps to do better, if not you have to wait 2 years.... everyone think about it....
ReplyDeleteDo it all the F2A applicants, let's start all together and fight till getting our families united, plz do it.... don't neglect....
ReplyDeleteOnly 89,000 visa's per year available, total applicants waiting are more than 2,53,000..., it takes years our time to be current.. heart breaking, mind less procedure... dividing husband and wife is a Law... great...
ReplyDeletemom and children too/ adult children are children for mom/F1 too.
DeleteEvery one write a letter to white house.... we can change the law... we need to do this..... all the 2,50,000 must write the letter...
