V-visa

[axp101]

I think the key issue is removing December-21-2002 deadline in V-visa and make "V" visa date "CURRENT"
Even if H.R.539 passes, one has to wait until I-130 is approved. This will take 1-2 years depending on service center.

Also, brothers and sisters over 21 and parents of US citizens fall into this category and that opens up huge amount of numbers immediately. So I think it is unlikely this bill will pass.

But "V" visa is only for spouses and children of LPRs. So if "V" visa date is current as soon as one file I-130 to BCIS, spouse can get V-1 visa to come to US just like K-3 visa for citizens.

I think what we need to do is to push to make “V” visa date current. But now H.R. 539 is in process how can we divert attention to "V" visa???????

A bill is just a bill. It is not a law yet. There could be many revisions before it can become a law. In addition to 539, there are other similar bills in the House, HR47, HR200, HR440, and a few others.

Contact the sponsors of these bills, and cosponsors of these bills and Congressmen, Congresswomen in your districts. Let them know that Removing of Visa number limitation for permanent residents spouses can only solve about 25% the problem (waiting time or separation). The only solution is to make V visa available to all separated spouses of permanent residents who have Filed an immigration petition for their spouses (not after the approval of the petition because approval process can take many years) without any waiting time limitation.

There is nothing wrong to reflect a true situation, a true but very unfair situation related to you.

You have to act now before these bills become laws. Since it is unlikely that Congress will pass bills one after another in this aspect. If they can pass one, let that one be a good one and let that one can really solve the problem!
