How about a thread for people who want to work together to reduce the family immigrant waiting times? The waiting times have risen over the years to rediculous levels. For example, 22 years for an F4 from the Philippines.
Plus, they continue to go up! People who file now for say an F3 visa might think the waiting time is 8 years, but in reality, that is the wait time for those who filed 8 years ago! For those filing now, the waiting time will probably be 10 to 12 years!
This needs to be the #1 problem that Congress should address with immigration reform. Amnesty should not even be discussed, because past amnesties are the biggest reason for these long wait times. Also since amnesty by itself increases these waiting times, amnesty actually reduces non-Latino immigration!
