Hello, I'm another Georgia volunteer. Uhm, from the little I've read I may actually be coming at things from another perspective than most. I found this site initially researching Advocacy sites for Family Visas.
I was involved in a Yahoo group that staged several protests against the TSC for their complete shutdown of I129f petitions for a 6 month period. After attending a protest in May I along with several others moved the base of operations over to a category/topic/thread board much like this one.
We as a group conceived of a system to gather data from the BCIS via their Web site. We have a record of nearly every I129f (fiance K visa) submitted through TSC for the last 6 or 7 months. Every night a progress report is posted and a weekly watchdog report created. Since the Watchdog reports have been issued for the last month and a half there has been a marked increase in the ammount of petitions processed. There is now an effort being mounted to gather data on the NSC in much the same fashion.
The TSC has been concealing all sorts of wrong doings and now we have a tool to shine some light on what they actually do during the day.
Here are some relevant links for family visas:
this is the site I helped with several others to pull together:
http://pub99.ezboard.com/bk1advocacygroup
Yahoo groups, format can be a bit frustrating:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ourcomplaints_nsc/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ourcomplaints_tsc/
Glad to be here, look forward to learning more about everyone else's situations.
