Hi All:
I've drafted a petition on behalf of our October filers to the
Director of the Vermont Service Center. Please read it
and post your comments.
I plan to send it by both fax and hard copy letter with
signatures of all of us. I guess we have to meet in order
to sign the petition with specific RD, ND, etc. info. Anyone
can tell me the direct fax # to the VSC?

Dear BCIS Vermont Service Center Director:
This is to request your immediate attention to an urgent
issue related to our I-485 applications. We, as applicants,
have suffered from tremendous emotional stress and financial
loss as a result of a severe delay in processing our applications.
We filed our I-485 applications as early as October, 2001.
However, we have never been granted our green card approvals.
Most of those who filed their applications at about the same time
and share a similar background were granted their permanent
residence status almost one year ago. Even those who filed their
applications as late as year 2002 have received their approvals.
The waiting time for our I-485 applications is over 22 months
so far, well beyond the maximum processing time limit. Even
more than two months after we provided a second fingerprint,
still there is no news. Contrary to our unfortunate situation,
approval notices are received every day by those who filed
their applications at a much later time.
During this unreasonably long delay, we contacted the former
INS multiple times for a status update. We would get a standard
answer each time - "if you do not hear any news in a month or
two, call back." However, we never heard any news. To make
the situation more difficult, the Vermont Service Center has
recently cancelled its customer service phone number, and we
now have no chance of even speaking to an officer about our
severely delayed applications.
Due to the delay, we have to redo our fingerprints, extend our
EAD documents, and apply for extra Advanced Parole documents
for travel. These not only cost time and money, but also cause
significant emotional strain and agony.
Perhaps we are victims of the reorganization of INS, now within
the Department of Homeland Security, and a disorganized
security check process after the September 11th incident. During
the transition from INS to Homeland Security, and the addition of
a security check process, there was a "hole" created in
operational procedures that has deeply affected a small number
of individuals, including us.
So therefore, we respectfully request your immediate attention to
our applications to avoid any further delay and emotional
suffering in the interest of fairness, equal opportunity, and good
conscience. Your prompt response to this matter is vital and
would be very much appreciated!
Sincerely,
485102001
