It appears you really lost patience, along with your decency. Get educated, this is no point to argue with you further.
Get educated?
I am sure I could teach YOU some bits and pieces of immigration law! Funny that you take offense over a couple of words but end up not understanding my point of view in its entirety. And apparently when you can't answer some of the points raised you like to hide behind, "this is no point to argue with you further"

Get used to taking bullshit buddy, cause nothing in life comes easy!!!!
If you don't like to listen to another opinion, maybe you should reconsider your decision about coming to a democracy where everyone has a right to be heard. There are several countries where dissent isn't tolerated and I am sure you will fit right in.
Enough childishness; until 140 got his pan^&# in a twist we were only having a civil exchange of opinion. Lets not lose our self-esteem over the wait. Let us at least be decent human beings through all this...
You are funny
hokie_gc,
Your concept of democracy is obviously a little different from the norm. Democracy DEFINITELY gives me the right to not listen to other people's opinion.
It gives you the right to speak yes, but at the same time I have the right to NOT listen to you.
As far as fighting for reducing "backlogs" Vs. "immigration reform". I think both go hand in hand. If you have immigration reform, you will have backlog reduction, and in fighting for backlog reduction we are asking for a systematic reduction of backlogs using processes which can only lead to immigration reform.
Besides all this, I have personally met Congresspersons, organized meetings with them and their staff and participated and organized enough campaigns to have some idea of how the system works. It is funny, when people who seem to have woken up yesterday come forward and try to teach others who have been fighting in the trenches for over the past year on what we should be doing.
Personally I think both of you are barking up the wrong tree. We are not trying to beat INS down, all we are saying is things are wrong right now, and a few approvals over the board is not going to solve the problem. You need sustained approvals, with none of the bullshit about security checks etc. (A point which you have yet to answered by the way). And have to agree with
Sumata's diagnosis of your attitude.
But that is me, and this my view.
Feel free to believe whatever you want. And while I hope you get your approval soon, if you DON'T I would like to see what you have to say when you see 05 approvals before yours. I wonder if security checks will a good enough reason for you then. Or if you are put in a situation like
Sfbay_area_guy's where you have absolutely no clue what is happening to your case, but you see lots of approvals, come up with, "Hey that is life, who said life is fair".
