rogerluli Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Every 3 years I am subjected to a rigorous state audit of my work facility. The auditor WILL find something wrong. If they didn't they wouldn't have a job for long. My strategy is to give them 2 or 3 nice, easy to find errors that are not serious. Then they don't have to spend all day digging for any real problems. I'm happy, they're happy, their boss is happy. We have all justified our government jobs. My SO went to the interview with an out of date marriage eligibility certificate. The VO could not have been more pleasant to her. Here was a nice, easy to find error that, though it could be easily rectified by my SO, would result in a blue slip. Everyone was happy, the VO had a blue slip to help make their quota and keep the boss off their back and we had an easily correctable error. It's win, win, win. You just have to understand how government works. Link to comment

ed and ying Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 It may be a plan, but if everybody gets blue slip - won't getting the white slip take even longer ?? My plan is for white slip on first try !!! Someelse can help with the blue slip qouta Link to comment
beijingjenny Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hear, hear. Interesting thought, but I am certainly not going to help the VO find something wrong and delay my husband's visa. I really don't think they have a "quota" - GZ's especially bad efficiency aside, if you're prepared and the VO is in a good mood, I don't think it matters. Link to comment
lele Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I generally like the idea of stratigezing (my scientist/student side). However, when it comes to loved ones and this terrible process that we must go through, I am completely opposed to it! I do not want to waste an extra minute, never the less a possible extra few days/weeks/who knows how long. If you want to strategize however, let's think of a way to get the issue raised into the press and to get some support for our cause! Jason Link to comment
kfman Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 government works.Is this not an oxymoron????????????I think government intelligence is a better oxymoron... what do you think Trigg? Link to comment
BobandNicole Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Is this like me declaring the same watch 17 times in customs because if I declare that I bought NOTHING on a 3 week trip to China they'd get suspicious and search my luggage? "What do you mean you were in China for 6 weeks and didn't buy anything?" Bob Link to comment
cosmiclobster Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Screw their "quota" !! They have put a number of people through the ringer, some with blatently valid reasons like expired paperwork and others with obscure and undefined reasons that have not been resolved months later. Are you saying that if a teacher gives a test and 95% of the students get an A, he should give 20% of them a B so his stats look better?It's outright BS !!! As for oxymorons, government and anything intelligent is an oxymoron!!Look at our former cheerleader/commander in chief as an example. Link to comment

But then, that's probably the reason he got to be where he is - so the people with the real brains and cahones could sit back and pull the strings.It's the "wag the dog" movie syndrome in real life!!!

You just have to understand how government works. One big major hole in your theory. If the decision is made ahead of time which I think it is and you are already slotted for approval and you show up with incomplete papers then they have no choice but to issue a blue slip which causes unecessary delay.

We did not discover our out of date single certificate until just a few days before the interview. I am not suggesting that anyone use this as a startegy. My strategy is part spoof and part trying to make some sense of this process. Link to comment
