I am one among the 66,000 visa applicants who have been left in limbo due to a backlog faced by just 37 analysts. (Based on Declaration of Carson Wu, Jan, 2024) Three years ago, I submitted an I129F petition for my fiancé. Today, we are still waiting for her visa after more than seven months in administrative processing post-interview. Our story is not unique; it mirrors those of thousands of families torn apart by this delay.
In our cases, a pregnant women is forced to face childbirth alone and far from her future husband. This is a heart-wrenching reality that no family should endure. The backlog targets Iranian families specifically and leaves them in an agonizing state of uncertainty in all visa categories (K,IR,CR,F,J,E,...)
We understand the importance of security vetting but question why there are only 37 analysts handling such a massive volume of applications? We're not asking for special treatment; we merely request fair and timely processing of our visa applications.
The anguish experienced by these families stretches over two years - an unacceptable duration that disrupts lives and separates loved ones. We plead with you to take immediate action to expedite these visa applications.
Your signature can help reunite thousands of separated families and end their torment caused by this administrative processing delay. Please sign this petition today!
