christy Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Hi, all, I recieved a letter from my congressman. It stated that FBI (indeed) is the mysterious government agency holding the case. What should I do? Does anyone have a contact number for FBI (kind of like DOS number)? I am going to send a reply to the congressman's help to interface with FBI as well, but I would like to take some action myself as well. Thanks... Christy Link to comment
chinadave2001 Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Good luck. I tried to interact with the FBI but got nowhere, including asking a friend who is in the FBI to help. Noone else was willing to touch this either - over these many months we have seen many post frustration about this as no one is willing to interfere with the process because its a matter of "national security." I have never seen a post from anyone who has been successful in interacting with the FBI. If you develop a technique on how to do this, I'm there are many others who'd like to know! dave Link to comment
christy Posted June 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 <sigh>... How come there is no symbol for crying...... Anyway, I will keep on trying... If I figure out a way, I will definitely post it over here. Have a good weekend. Christy Link to comment
Mick Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Sorry to hear about your case officially being on hold Christy. Unfortunately, getting info out of the FBI is damn near impossible. Link to comment
SBS Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Sorry Christy Our case has been put on hold by FBI since last Oct. but it does seems impossible to contact with them as we wishes. I can only wish FBI is really working on our cases. Link to comment
chinadave2001 Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Hi Christy, I am sorry that you are hurting so much. I wish there was something that I could do or say that would help - I am also sorry if my earlier response was a bit harsh or too direct. Keep the faith - sooner or later you'll be together. dave Link to comment
tunger88 Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Christy, sorry to hear your case has been officially put on hold. Believe me, I know the feelings. I remembered when I found out my case was on hold, I felt like it was all over. But I have to move on. I remembered the day I called my fiancee and told her the news, we were both cried to each other on the phone. I am thinking about sending email to the director of the FBI. I don't know if he'll read it, but that's the least I can do now. I can't just sit back and wait for them to do their jobs. Keep the faith and keep on fighting until the end. Link to comment
owenkrout Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Again, the group is in the vast minority. Mostly people hope that they never hear from the FBI. The normal situation is that they will do the calling. This is an odd case where people actually want to talk to them. Link to comment
christy Posted June 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Does anyone have the private email address for the government officials, e.g., FBI director, DOJ director, congressmen, senators, etc.. (I know it is unlikely, but it is worth asking here ). A lot of emails (or faxes) we sent out are not read by the people they are intended, but their assistants. Our issues might be a interest to these people, but got shot down by the assistants... I am trying to look for Al Gore's email address on the internet. I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that he took up a lecturer position in CMU (or Cornell, or some other Ivy League school). Does anyone know which school and whether he is still there? If he works there, his email might be published on school's directory THanks. Christy Link to comment
christy Posted June 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Hi, Don, Any information about FBI? Christy Link to comment
christy Posted June 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Hi, Don, Quick reply! I have been scrutinizing FBI site as well, did not find such things. BTW, there is a local FBI office about 300 miles away from where I live, do you think it is worth for me to call or go there in person and ask questions? I do not know which part of the FBI is doing the name checking Christy Link to comment

Keep the faith - sooner or later you'll be together. daveHi, Dave, No need to apologize! Thank you for being so direct though. I know FBI is going to be a hard one to tackle. extremely hard... But I will try my best. Ironically, I feel this hellish experience might be beneficial to me in the future. After going this obstacle (who knows when this will finish), I do not think I can be defeated by anything else that might come later in life. Also, throughout this long wait, it also strengthens our bonds. Maybe I am saying these just to cheer myself up , whatever it is, it is keeping me moving and be positive. Christy Link to comment
christy Posted June 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Like Owen said, the FBI is much more used to asking questions than giving information.Maybe I should do something drastic for FBI to come and talk to me On the second thought, maybe not Thank you for your information. I am flipping back to look for the post you mentioned.... Christy Link to comment
Guest R2D2 Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 I called the FBI last week and they told me they did not have me in their computer even though NVC insists that they sent the package to them for security checks. I then called State, which is over NVC, and State told me the the FBI lied to me! Now why would a government agency lie to me? I thought that they were honest! It is <PM R2 for the number>. Maybe they were just mistaken when they lied to me. Good Luck! You know the rules, Jim. Link to comment
christy Posted June 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Hi, R2D2, Thank you so much for the number... I called just now (please do not call me insane since today is Sunday, but I just want to hear the answer machine say it is FBI, and have that number on my speed dial). I will call tomorrow and report the outcome of it here soon. BTW, I would like to get some suggestion from you and Don, and everyone else. I have been contacting my congressmand and senator by email and letters, should I call the office sometime and talk to a person. I haven't done that since they all have so many offices throughout the state, I was not sure which office has been contacting DOS on my behalve. Thanks. Christy Link to comment
