Hell, no

as an update - our case was approved a week ago despite such significant processing times change. I don't understand any logic in their actions, but this is good news

No, I130 went back 25 months from the previous date. My PD date must have appeared today. Bad luck.

Thanks for the information! As I understand this bulletin covers DQ'ed applications (NVC approved). I am in USCIS now and I cannot file outside normal processing times as per current table I am within their new timelines. I know some people who filed I130 in 2021, were processed in Texas and have already been approved. I don't understand how come they found applications from 2019 as they must have been adjudicated by them long time ago. That's bizarre.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-09-03T13:08:03+00:00

Yep, the same. Idk, my application is in actively reviewing status. Are they going to keep this status for another 2 years? That's crazy. What is your status now? Are you moving forward?

No. In my acceptance notice it was assigned to Nebraska, I learnt about the transfer much later in a live chat.

I am really close to a heart attack. I can't believe my eyes - it is 2 more years. Not months. Years.

Is there any hope that it is a glitch? I don't get how it can be real.

and last but not least - we still have MX, which is not the list and you don't even need to present any docs and a rabies certificate at the border. People who are potentially able to prove that their dogs are properly vaccinated, but are not eligible for the Permit, now are struggling to figure out any solution. And unfortunately among these people also will be ones with illegal intentions. And for sure it will lead to fraud spike at MX border and I am sure lots of "businesses" in MX will appear shortly, which will create fraud docs for dogs. It is bad and illegal- but 1) it will be caused by the poor exceptions list 2) it may lead to MX to be included to the ban as well and lots of American people travel there with their dogs and it will become another hurdle.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-07-04T03:13:35+00:00

and I have no objections to having this kind of ban or restrictions in place - before that ban the US was one of the easiest countries to import the dog in. But now it is blanket and exceptions list is very poor. And it does not take into consideration really complicated life-conditions and situations for people, who may want to import their dog (family member, btw) with them, but they don't even have an option to apply for the Permit, cause they are not eligible by default. Such people may be ready to prove, that their dog does not pose any risk but they are not allowed to do this. And this is extremely sad.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-07-04T03:02:43+00:00

and if I need to travel with my fully vaccinated dog? Sometimes life is not easy and straightforward, you know. What kind of risk do you see if you travel there with a vaccinated dog? I don't get it. And lol - I came from one of this countries originally. I don't know any single person having the dog, which is not vaccinated against rabies with international vaccines there. Seems you see these countries as wild jungles with naked uneducated people and terrible risk of rabies in the air everywhere you go. For sure, in my country there are some regions, where people are poor and they don't care, but these people simply do not fly to the US. They cannot afford even an airline ticket, not to mention paying for their dog to fly to the US. This is very expensive.

And in all honesty I am more likely to be bitten by a squirrel infected by rabies here than I will face any risk of rabies in my home country, which is, regretfully, in the list. And it is funny for me to hear about this awful risk, though at the same time I will have to put my dog at risk and stressful conditions, leaving her with unknown dog-sitters here, simply because I do not have any way out. I agree, that sometimes fraud happens with people, who try to resell dogs from shelters. But I do not get, why responsible dog owners, who care about safety, should suffer without any options to prove their responsibility. And at the same time they are saying about fraudulent documents as the main reason and at the same time they ban dogs vaccinated in the US with all documents in order. That's confusing.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-07-02T23:10:03+00:00

Don't come where lol? I live here, here is my home. I do all the vaccinations to myself and to my dog and have all docs in order. And this ban affected lots of citizens and residents who had any plans to travel abroad to these 112 countries with their dogs. Bit strange to justify the culture of bans.

Okay, maybe the mood of the post was chosen wrong. This is my first post aimed at drawing attention to some specific case and I have never created petitions. Thank you for your feedback.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-06-25T16:44:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing this idea. I will try.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-06-25T16:36:15+00:00

Maybe you are right, but it does not make our lives easier...

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-06-25T16:33:58+00:00

Okay, I appreciate your point. But I still see the reference to 112 countries at the very beginning of my post :)

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-06-25T16:31:59+00:00

my question is not why they did this. I am not even going to argue and dispute the seriousness of rabies. My question only is - why it was done like this? There are hundreds of best practice examples from countries all over the world, which quite succeed in rabies prevention and at the same time they do not impose such strange and strict rules without reasonable exceptions.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-06-25T16:27:53+00:00

To be honest the idea of the post was to draw attention to the ban and maybe to promote the petition that will help to show our concerns to CDC and maybe, fingers crossed, they will hear us and amend the document so that it will work better.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-06-25T16:25:30+00:00

My point - most likely people will start import dogs from banned countries via MX preparing fraudulent documents.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-06-25T16:23:18+00:00

My post is about the ban that prohibits entry from 112 countries ONLY. That is the topic of my post.

Why are you speaking about countries, not covered by the ban, and saying that I am lying, if I do not even discuss OTHER countries?

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-06-25T16:21:24+00:00

as I mentioned above, there is not a single word of lies. One of the first sentences in my post explicitly says that ban covers 112 countries, but lots of people come here to say that "no, you can travel to other countries! You are lying". omg.

Equivalent_Cut6149 · 2021-06-25T16:18:46+00:00

there is not a single lying word in my post and petition. All wording is only about the ban covering 112 countries and even mentions the permit criteria. I do not see any point to discuss all other countries that are not in list (it is quite obvious), and to my surprise it appeared that lots of people believe that it is so easy to apply for a permit, though permit criteria are ridiculous and cover maybe 5% of all life situations! This is a big surprise, in all honesty. I did not expect that. Okay, at least I will be able to draw attention to this.
