December 30, 2002 Dear Mrs. Harty, We would like to tell you what a wonderful job you have done to clear up the backlog issue. Thank you very much. As you, and many of us, are aware of, there is still a major problem with lost, misplaced or just not completed name checks for a small group of July and August interviewees. Knowing this, we the undersigned are asking for a provisional exception to the standard process of resubmitting after the 90-day waiting period. The entire August group has already waited over 180 days for a name check clearance. We are asking you personally, to please contact the appropriate office or offices to find these cases and have them expedited. Here is a very recent response from the consulate in Guangzhou for one of the August interviewer's Surely, we should not be asked to wait another 90-days as implied in this letter. As you may know, the past practice concerning namechecks was that visa-issuing posts were permitted to print an applicant's immigrant visa if the Department of State had not responded to the namecheck request within ten (10) business days. Beginning July 22, 2002, the State Department initiated the change that has now become so infamously long. The IV Unit must now wait for the Department of State to respond before an applicant's visa can be issued. IV Unit staff had submitted namecheck requests in the June-July timeframe for applicants coming for interviews in August and September. Once the 6- 8 week period had turned into 2+ months of waiting, the State Department initiated two changes where namechecks were concerned. The first is that the consulate had to reformat namecheck requests. Now, each applicant over the age of 16 is on a separate namecheck request; in the past, the consulate would send as many as 50 names per request. The second change is that each namecheck request that had not been responded to within the past 90 days had to be resent. xxxxxxxxx's namecheck was resent November 16; the consulate, as of this writing, still has not received the go-ahead from the State Department to print xxxxx xxx's visa. As soon as this consulate is in receipt of the approval to print xxxxxxxxx's visa, our staff will mail her a notice to come to the consulate with her passport at her soonest convenience. She will need to present her passport and the letter between 9am and 10am. She will be able to pick up the visa at 4:30 the same day. Regards, xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Immigrant Visa Unit U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou Please help with the following list of August interviewers Sincerly the list

We have 10 names already, Great! Can someone post on 001 in chinese?

I accually recived 3 responces Where are they? In my inbox James, Have you written her? Did you get a reply? Aren't you going to post the replies for the prople that signed the letter to see? Why are they in your inbox? Did you e-mail the letter or FAX it? James, I was the only signiture on my letter to Harty, It was not a group letter. Mark, we sent a letter out 4 days ago with 15 names on it. Don't you have better things to do with your time right now, like writing a letter? Yes James, My name was on it.

Since the U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou states that each individual name has to be resubmitted to the Department of State for security reasons individually, if the former request is out of date by 90 days, we the undersigned, formerly request that you submit all of the names to be expedited in mass. This looks like a demand to me James, also she knows the rules for resubmittal, we dont need to tell her how or what her job is. We simply need to point out the fact that the August group is lost and not being done by DOS, and ask nicely for special Attention which I have mentioned.

also if we ask just for resubmittal, it could accually take another 90 days before we even know if they have been completed. Im wanting a commitment of a priority, to jump ahead of the others, not just resubmitted. They owe us this much to walk these thing through or ask DOS to do these before all others. then send to GZ and get GZ to process these as soon as they get them. Mark, If the security checks have not been done, then they have to be done. The letter asks for her to expedite this. Enough of this. If you wish to send a different letter and be demanding to piss her off, do so. James, dont get all bent out of shape, im simply saying we need to be more exact in a request, not demand, for some special attention in this matter of lost or incomplete name checks. If you want me to do a letter, I will!

I didnt post it. I think james posted it.

If i were doing her job, we wouldnt have the backlog issue,

James, we need to say something in this letter stating, in our words, that we are requesting a provisional expidition of the August lost cases and ask for then to be complete within 2 weeks because we know it only takes about 2 weeks in reality to be complete. We need to be very clear on what we are asking, and maybe a little sympathy line in there.

Please email your info to me at marklg1@hotmail.com August group only! Her name: family, given Case #GUZ 1st notice of approval NOA Interview date

Can or will someone post this on G7 and 001 and CAC? Please help do this.

This is just for the black hole August group. Everyone in the August group interviews needs to call CA today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday) This is very important that we do this! I can't say what I know or anything else, but please do this. Just call CA or the 663-1225, mainly the 663-1225 number, give someone your case number and date of interview. If you get the one lady that hangs up before she accually checks, call someone else. Please trust me on this and call. I know what I'm talking about. All August people need to call today and tomorrow, Dec. 26 and 27
