letter to Harty

[AZwolfman]

Here is my next letter to Maura Harty. Now that we have all been passively "giving them time to work" for the past couple weeks, all to no avail, it is time to get proactive again. I believe we need many letters, not just a group letter with 20 or 30 signatures (out of the 200+ members of this forum). So take a little of mine, add a little of yours, make it personal, cut and paste to your heart's content. I will post more letters as I finish them.

 

Dear Maura Harty,

 

Thank you for your prompt email reply of 01/03/03 in which you stated that you have taken steps to clear these Guangzhou fiancé visa delays. You also stated that you would be sure to look directly into our case. Now more than 3 weeks later, we still have received no word, thus the small hope you gave us has faded. We have already read all the form letters, so I'm asking you, "Will you see that someone PLEASE give us some real information?"

 

If you really have looked directly into our case, I would appreciate any information on our status and when my fiancé and I might be allowed to be together in this great country. I have heard of several couples that interviewed after us who got their visas, and it has been so long since xxx's interview in Guangzhou (almost 6 months), that I often wonder if our case has been misplaced and it did not get resubmitted for review when the other August cases did. There is almost no information coming to us. What little information we have found is in the form of website forum posts from other unfortunate couples. How about giving us some real, definite, first-hand information? Surely you can at least find our case and tell us exactly where we stand, let us know what is being done to clear us for our visa, and give us a timeline.

 

I think xxx is one very special woman to have waited so long for me and to still (so far) have at least a small amount of faith remaining in the U.S. government's willingness to allow us to live together as husband and wife in this great country. I try to keep her spirit up and her faith alive with daily communication, but I often wonder how long our government will keep us apart. The vagueness, the not knowing, the indefinite timeline, the difficulty of getting information from our government, are the hardest parts of this wait. If only we had a timeline to look forward to, the waiting might be more bearable.

Excellent job.

 

Not everybody needs to do a letter of the length of mine or Wolfman's, but write what you can and express you dissatisfaction with these people. Request real information, not just more form letters. Demand attention.

Right, I tend to ramble a bit. But that just provides more material for ideas for other letter writers. I really think that brief is better, and I have more problem trying to edit out content than in trying to think of things to say.

 

Main thing is: There are over 200 of us in this forum, so everybody, lets blitz!!! Write those letters. Fax. Email. Let them know we are taking this personally.
