The LC processing is delayed out of proportion. I once heard that they received in April 2001 the amount of cases they would normaly receive in a year. But even if so, they've already been on April 2001 for 16-17 months, how come it's going to take them another 0.5 to 1 year?
This IS totally unfair. Unfortunately, in this country fairness is only for American citizens and greencard holders. Fairness is only given to other people at their mercy when it's deemed good for US interest. I'm not sure that we have a case here, the law is not made out for other people's protection than Americans. However, I think we should at least voice our opinions. We shouldn't suffer without a complain. We pay the same tax as Americans. We even pay social security. Are they going to return to us the social security we paid if we are forced to leave? I never heard of that! then why aren't they at least making a good faith effort to try to evaluate our LC/GC applications? All these can't help but lead people to think a lot of so-called values they claim are just BOGUS.
