I called DOS today and knew that our case got re-submitted again today (11/16/02 for last resub, 8/20/02 approved visa), it requires at least 2 to 3 weeks to clear without guarantee. As a Chinese American, it’s so sad to miss the biggest holiday for Chinese family reunion. Any August interviewee got the resub recently? As we know that all non-immigrant visas don’t require name-check or security clearance, how does DOS control these people and make sure he or she won’t harm US? It’s not really fair for us. I know school has the responsibility to report it if the student didn’t attend school at no reason for days. Perhaps the invited company can track the business visa. Why DOS just want us to wait such a long time and doesn’t ask our local police to do the simple security job for instead. What I mean that DOS can ask us to report to the local police station and do some quick security questions at certain days until the case get clear. Just my 2 cents.
