I have been waiting for 122 days. This long and unlimited
delays ruined my hopes and future, almost!!!I have no idea when this
stupid check will be ended up. Besides, I am really afriad that my place
will be concelled when the process is over. I thought I will go abroad in
time, so I don't get job after my graduation. Now,I feel awful and
painful, but I have no choice but wait, wait ,and wait,with impatiently
and upsettingly. This is driving me crazy. |

Waiting the Approval of Visa. (413 days
of delay) |
I was assigned to go to the Beijing facility of AXT Inc., on
7/14/02 and was scheduled to return to Fremont, CA, on 8/2/02. I was told
that I should wait for a background checking in the visa interview meeting
at the Embassy of the US in Beijing on 7/23/02. I resubmitted an
application for the Visa via CITIC on March 23, 2003, according to the
discussion of the potential options between the officer of the Embassy and
Dr. Kristie Leiser, a representative from AXT who visited the Embassy in
Beijing in February 2003. The re-application has not revealed how long to
wait for conclusion or the reason for delay, but also has not resulted in
any apparent action on my circumstances. Due to my delay of returning, I
can not take my job responsibilities for the company which I can only
discharge when I am in the United States. This delay has already given my
family a great trouble. My wife and 7-year old son are in Fremont now.

My Ph.D degree is on Physics. But my work is on the
mechanical properties of metals and alloys. Hence my major is more close
to that of mechanical engineering, the major of mine in BYU. The project,
I will attend in USA, is supported by office of navy research. But it is
only basical research, and can be published. The boss in USA will cancel
this contract if I will be checked long time. |

My friend recently called the Visa Service @202-663-1225 to
ask my clearance status. The officer told my friend that my case HAD NOT
BEEN PROCESSED because there was NO any NOTICE on it and they DID NOT KNOW
WHAT THEY SHOULD DO to my case. The officer suggests me to contact the
Embassy in Beijing and ask them to send a clear notice to DC. I contacted
Beijing US Embassy but was told that they do not take any action on
individual applicant.s request and only accept the direction from DOS,
say, telling them what they should send to DC regarding my case. So, the
ball has been kicked back to DC again, if neither side would like to take
action, my case will sleep in DC forever. |

sencond year PH.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering. On
June 8, 2002, I came to IWR at University of Heidelberg, Germany,to join
the group of Prof. Bock, Simulation and Optimization, with my advisor,
Prof. Richard W. Longman, to make our joint research with them go faster.
We expected to stay here just for three month of last summer from last
June to last September. I sent out an application of re-entry F1 visa on
July 15, 2002 to Frankfurt Consulate by mail and had an interview on
August 14, 2002. I have been waiting for more than 7 months! I did
fax/phone the embassy through the hotline (EURO 1.86/min) many time,
however, I am totally ignored by them. They don't call me back at
all!(Just the operators recorded my information) I am even thinking that I
will never get results from the security check. |

My research is in system area, not sensitive at all. The
reason that my visa renew was checked was I had network security courses
on my transcript! According to the stupid policy, all the courses I took
must be closely related to my research! It seems I should have also
considered sensitivity besides other factors when I decided if to take a
course, or life would have been easier if US schools made citizenship a
pre-requisite of any sensitive courses. My research group is supposed to
submit a prototype implemetation of our NSF funded project, I am
responsible for one core module. Now, the whole project is slowed down
because I am stuck in China and it takes time for other group members to
pick up my job. |

Actually they DO NOT know who should be checked. I talked
with two VO. If not because of missing some document, the first one
already gave me the VISA (He told me to go to one window waiting for my
passport. But he called me back). When I got all document and went to
Shanghai again, I met another VO. The second VO gave me a clearance check.

I planned to get back to work on Feb 17, but didn't get back
until April 4 due to the visa checking. During the time waiting for the
visa to be approved, my company, family and I were all affected. Because I
wasn't able to get back to my work on time, and didn't know how long the
checking process would take, it made it hard for my company to staff and
they had to let someone who is not familiar with my work to work on my
position temporarily. This affected the progress of our project. My trip
was delayed for 46 days. This is caused the loss of my salary for 46 days.
Because of not being able to get back on time and taking care of my bills
on time, some late fees were also incurred. Compared to the frustration,
stress and worries that my family and I went through during the time of
waiting without knowing when the process would be over, the financial loss
are really minor. |

return China for the winter holiday as I had planed, then I was told to be

of Apr., I get a call from Guang Zhou Consulate that my check was over and
I need a new valid I-20 from school to get the visa, but about one week
later, i get a call from Guang Zhou Consulate again for a check again.
then I did not get any more information, I call Guang Zhou Consulate to
ask the state of my check, only sorry and no result, I don't know when it
will over. Maybe I won't go back to finish my degree for I have to start
my career in China now and can't wait any longer. |

The bad thing is 'delayed my research project', the good
thing is 'had more time with my parents in China'. When I went to apply a

studying in US". He did not say any about the terrorism and US security. I
told him that I understood his concern. |

I have been waiting for the response from the Embassy for
almost 4 months. I have already contacted my company, as well as the
attorney. Unfortunately they can not do much more to help me out with this
issue but call DC to check my status as many times as they can just like
what I do. They also turned to the Senator of MA. But it doesn't work
either. I have no objection against this kind of checking as it is all
about security thing. But what I want to say is please expedite the whole
process as possible as you can and give us a specific date when it can be
done because the seem-to-take-forever delay is really having great
terrible impact on my work and daily life. The suspended job I was doing,
the car, the insurance, the bills, the rent... I have to take care of all
the stuff. But how can I deal with them when I am in China? This has
brought me too much trouble. Please take this concern into account and
help us. Thank you very much. |

consul told me that they need to do an administrative processing before
granting me the visa. According to DOS, the cable was sent from Shanghai
consulate to DOS on 12/18/2002 and DOS put me in "Name Check". Since then,
a number of phone calls have been made to DOS by my friend, every time DOS
answered with "in processing". The checking is still going on right now.

My H1b was approved on 11/14/01. I first applied the H1b in
consulate in Berlin on 01/07/02. The VO told me that my documents should
be sent to Washington. I waited for 5 months and fax to the VO, then I got
the denial. I sent my application again in the end of August. I had a
interview on 10/01/02. Then the same story began again. The Oklahoma State
University, the lawyer and the sentor called Washington. In the middle of
January of 2003, the DOs said that it would finish in 6-8 weeks. But in
this March, nothing improved. Calling them again, the answer is pending.

I feel angry about the long time delay! I complain the visa
officer. She believed my major is related to public policy and shoud be
checked. It is absurd that environmental policy can threat the security. I
complain the government. Please give me a reason that my case need more
time than the chemistry case. Another two Chinese students from my school
majoring in Chemistry got checked in December too, but they got reply in
Jan.28 and went back soon. How the environmental case needs longer time
than the chemistry case?! Give me a reason! I never change major, school
and status in US. My parents are almost seventies. I just want to finish
my study and come back to support them as soon as possible. But they still
worry about my situation! I hope the government could speed up our cases
and at least check in which process our cases are delayed. |

On Dec. 10, 2002, I went to apply F-1 visa. I was checked
for TAL( Technology Alert List). I missed the enrollment date for Spring
Semester just for the check delay though it was approved at last. On April
17, 2003, I went to the US Consulate General in Shanghai to apply for the
Autumn Semester visa, I was checked again for SAO(Security Advisory
Opinion). I do not understand I was checked twice though I applied the
same university, same major. I still have not received any information
Since April 17, though I have sent at least more than 10 faxes to the
Consulate. |

Long vaction at my home with my family. enjoyed staying home
for more than 5 months (have not done this for 20 years+); and made my mom
mad sometimes: told her to much what to do or not for her own good(at
least I think so); she is old and stubborn, and she IS my mom; enjoyed the
New Year firecrackers, Jiaozi; enjoyed grow plants and watched them
growing, blossoming, and fruiting. Helped harvest wheat. Lost two plan
tickets(returnning, the first time ever fixed the damn returning date).
The wife of mine enjoyed staying for more than 2 months and playing
MaJiang almost everyday at home. (I might write a story talking about this
unexpected experience). I support whatever you are doing! Life is tough
and easy and interesting, enjoy! |

I have contacted the Boston congressman, California Senator
and Director, Office of Public and Diplomatic Liaison, Visa Services,
DAS's director. DOS told our all waiting, waiting, waiting. I have waited
almost one year. How long do one's life usually has? Many persons'
valuable time have been resumed in the unknown long waiting. This check
rate has seriously impacted to the science research and education in last
year. We all would like that DOS and DHS, as well as security agencies can
speed up this clearance of long pending cases, particurlarly on those
cases for more than 6 months' waiting. |

I got a job from University of Maryland last Febuary (more
than a year ago!!!) and got the H1-B approval notice from the INS on
August 5, 2002. I summitted the application for an entry visa (H1-B) on
August 14, 2002 to Frankfurt Consulate by mail and had an interview on
August 21, 2002. I have been waiting for 7.5 months since then! I did
fax/phone the embassy many times through the hotline (EURO 1.86/min),
however, I have been ignored by them!! They do NOT answer me at all! I
call the DOS many times as well, but I am always told that "your case is
still pending". I am seriously thinking that I will never get the result
because they are NOT doing anything. In the last 7 months, I have had
GREAT difficulties to manage my work and life, such as to extend the
working contract with the current boss, to extend the German visa, to find
places to live every 2 months, to worry about the possibility of lossing
the job in Maryland...... I am falling into despair... |

I have found a new job in Beijing and settled down in China.
I had plan to move back to China later 2003. This visa delay has speeded
my moving back up. Fearing this would happen, I sold my car and ended my
lease before I came back to China in Jan. It was proven to be a good move.
My guess is that many other people were not as luck as I am. |

My husband and I are both PhD students of UR and we were
both checked when we returned home last year. And we are still waiting for
our visas. Besides all the inconveniences that the check brought to our
studies and lives, the research plans of our groups were discomfited. I
feel so sorry for that. |

The delay has made very bad affects on me. 1. several
thousand dollars have been payed for my rented room and my car in USA; 2.
one of mine semester is ruined; big loss in research both for me and for
my boss; 3. my parents and I all worry very much for my future and we fear
that when the check process is done it will be too late to continue my
Ph.D study in USC, which has been my dream and I have worked very hard in
the last several years for it, and it has been realize it, but now my
dream may be broken. 4.the most bad thing is I have no channel to even
know how my checking process is going and I can't do any plan for the
future and just wait endlessly and hopelessly. Several calls have been
made and even inquiry letters have been faxed both to the Shanghai Embassy
and State Department but no response. |

I am adding this information for my husband. We went back
China together, while the visa officer asked him to stay in China in front
of me, but he let me come back. During the 4 months seperating, I cried
every single night of it. He was a very very deligent student, and he was
just about o publish his first paper, however, this unexpected delay
severely damaged his project. A lot of work has to be started from
scratch. Nothing could compensate for our time, while our happy reunion
with parents turned out to brought great sorrow and worry to our parents

Numerous fax, phone calls, my advisor's and department
chair's letter, the help elicited from Wisconsin Congresswoman Tammy
Baldwin. All ended with a response of "indefinite waiting". I contacted
the State department 202-663-1231,now they can not even locate my files
due to some mismatching errors. Now I am stuck home with no ID (my
passport is held)and my work been on hold and every friends of mine think
it is insane. Anyway, it is the anger for total disrespect and
mistreatment. |

I heard from a visa specialist from state department:
background check has been a regular procedure for visa applicants. A
"must" procudure is fine, but a timeless delay (nobody knows when your
case will be processed, as what we have seen, in fact, the processing has
been rather ramdom) is very unfair for us tax payers. |

the Visa from London but was told that everyone has to go through the
security check and nobody knows how long will it take. So I decided to go
back home in china to apply and wait. I went back in September 20th, 2002
and reapplyed there in Beijing. But I was delayed for 2 months. The visa
was issued in November 22nd, 2002. And I was back here in December |
