Thanks Richard. I used this letter as a reference and sent a similar one to the President.

Hi Sweetchuck,
Thanks for your comment. It is nice to see people like you here you are obviously constructive in your analysis and looking for a way forward with US Immigration rather than some of the other comments that like you pointed out are not constructive and hypocritical in nature.

To BadJobWithTheLetter:
I think the letter is well-written and heartfelt. It conveys all of the major points as well as a touch of personal sentiment. I can’t believe that the only comment you felt compelled to make after reading the letter was negative and not remotely constructive. Shame on you. Oh, and also, “gotten” is not a word, gramatically speaking.

You should have gotten this letter proof read for grammatical errors. It hardly sounds professional!

Hi Green Card Visa,
Again appreciate your passion for the EB5 visa but it is a very small part of the US Immigration system and to most foreigners is a far lower priority than much more fundamental and popular areas where reform is needed. I don’t recall the President on his campaign trail mentioning the EB5 visa by name or indeed any other visa barring possibly the H1B but then again I did not listen to every word he said.

I am tempted to write a similar letter to Obama about the EB5 visa. He mentioned reforming it on his campaign trail, but never acted on those words. It has been extended, and I am happy about that, but I would like to see some accountability from the President.

Hi Kiran,
If you have not already you should read our post on 221g administrative processing. Hopefully your wait is not too much longer but yes you do bring up a very valid point around another area of the US Immigration rarely spoken about in public circles. Unfortunately politicians rarely focus on things that are practical and more on just simple rhetoric. Given you were previously approved for your H1B visa, I assume you should be OK but I hope also your employer is understanding and patient during this time.
Good Luck,
CJ

This is not directly related to EB3, but since this forum is related to H1B too I would like to express my concern. I work for one of the world’s top public research university for the past 4 years and recently I went for my H1B renewal stamping and was issued 221g AAP without any valid reason and since then I never understood whats the criteria for issuing 221g. The processing times as I read many posts over the internet, seems very random and no one knows when their case will be approved and the backlog is increasing day by day. These applicants are spending their time with frustration and too much stress without knowing what happens and to their liabilities etc back in the USA. I would suggest the President to bring new regulatioins in steamlining the visa processing and atleast consider the applicant’s employment position and the reputation of the employer and prioritize the application processing based on the applicant’s status. I am still waiting for my case to be approved.
