chinadave2001 Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 OK, it seemed that we were just getting going when we got off track a bit. If I understand correctly, Luke, then Russ and Cathy received clearances, and Rob's problem is at least temporarily resolved - so who's next on the list? This was working - we just need to keep our eye on the ball, no? Don - you probably know who is the next hard core case that we should get after. If anyone wants me to send a letter on their behalf, please pm me the particulars and I'll do my best. Dave Link to comment
chinadave2001 Posted August 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Don - I just reviewed the Old Process cases list and it seems the oldest one is from December and then there are several from February. Are there any blackholers still out there? or have they all finally cleared?? If so, what about this December case? Dave Link to comment
notsosimple Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I'm glad the process seems to be working. I've tried getting an original response from anyone regarding my fiance's case, but to no avail. Just same old "await required security-related vetting through an interagencyprocess" The following is my timeline.

Surely, either you have been, or the case needs a jump start on that ridiculous resub business Good luck to you Leisha.. Link to comment
notsosimple Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Thanks for the advice. I'll check into it.Leisha Link to comment
Guest R2D2 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Now!!!! For real, people. Let us help Leisha with letters to those that count. I have written many for a lot of you. Please chip in and write a letter to Harty or the Attorney General to help expedite this case. Thanx....Jim Link to comment
SBS Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 I am really sorry to see someone has been waiting that long and still suffering stress. Please PM me if you would like me to write letter for you. Best wishes to you all Lei Link to comment
notsosimple Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Thanks for everyone's help. At this point, there's still no clear explanation why my case has been pending for so long. Guangzhou sent the necessary resubmissions.....a DOS visa specialist said I may need to provide more information for the namecheck......the FBI wouldn't talk to me. Through everyone's assistance, I think the DOS is actually checking into the problem now, so I will just wait until this Friday (one week since previous call) to phone DOS again. You are welcome to continue sending letters. I can't tell whether they are still necessary. If you PM me, I'll provide the case information. Thanks again, Leisha. Link to comment
Guest R2D2 Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Don is correct. It is DOS that is the problem and you need to write, or have others write, FAXes, letters, and e-mails to all of the DOS high ups that you can think of. The security checks were probably completed but have not been typed onto the puter. Link to comment
chinadave2001 Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Leisha, I have just returned from a week of vacation and my keyboard is aching to send a letter for you! Please pm me your info so I can get right to it - it can't hurt! Dave Link to comment
notsosimple Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Yes, finally after being lost in the system my clearances have been completed. Thanks to all who wrote letters on my fiance's behalf. I hope these crazy glitches will all be ironed out so ensuing cases proceed much more smoothly for everyone. I can't thank you enough. After 11 months pending clearance, I can truly smile for a change. Leisha Link to comment
skrunks Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 GREAT! Be prepared to receive your interview date in short order...when I got the word that Han Lin's name check was done...and my time lines are very similar to yours...we thought "oh we'll have until october". Then bang, P4 and an interview on 2 september. Yikes. Luckily we had everything together but I could not go to the interview because of very pressing business affairs. g'luck! Link to comment
notsosimple Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure your gal will do fine during the interview. Just keep your phone lines open, so you can hear the good news as soon as she gets that white slip into her hands. Yes, our timelines are quite similar. I began this process mid-March 2002, so I know how great that victory phone call will be. Leisha Link to comment
