As word of the DOS July revised visa bulletin fiasco gets out, those affected are frustrated and want to take action. Many who were eligible to file their applications prior to the revised July visa bulletin are doing so, knowing full well that their cases will be rejected and that their next step will be to take part in a massive lawsuit against the government. This is one track.
Another track is congressional intervention. Those who were wronged by the visa bulletin bait and switch were legal immigrants, many of whom have waited for years and “played by the rules”. We link to a statement by Congresswoman Lofgren. This is a start. Those who caused this debacle need to be held accountable.
Supposedly, this is a ‘country of laws, not men.’ Well, seems to me that the only thing worse than a CIS playing by flawed and outmoded rules is a CIS NOT playing by ANY rules! The revision of the bulletin is an arbitrary and illegal action that has caused monetary and non-monetary damages to thousands of law-abiding tax-paying legal aliens like myself. Someone has to be held accountable! If this is a land of liberty and justice, then we demand justice. I’m signing on to the lawsuit. Point me to the dotted line.
I would like to request that in your next entry on the subject, you draw attention to this petition — http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/485 — only if you support it, of course.
