Act Now:GUESTS, NEW MEMBERS, OLD MEMBERS, FENCE SITTERS

[chanduv23]

Dear brothers and sisters,

We are running a funding drive with a targetted amount for our lobbying efforts.

A lot of people have contributed and contributions are still coming in.

Thanks to all those who are showing a wonderful gesture by their contributions.

If you have not yet contributed, please do so now and post details on this thread where contributions are being tracked

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15905

Participating actively in grassroots efforts is very essential. Changes do not come overnight, they come only with a lot of effort through grassroots efforts. Please join us and start actively participating in grassroots efforts.
Persistence and perserverence is the key here and it is very essential that everyone start participating actively. IV is your/our organization. IV is nothing but you and me.

Hiding behind closets and taking a back seat and remaining dormant does not help our cause, it only hinders all the hard work and effort that all the dedicated members are doing.

Remember, changes do not happen easily and one must not assume that things will happen automatically. Things can and will happen only when we make it happen and by remaining dormant we cannot achieve what we want to achieve.

We urge all the guests to become members now and join their State Chapters. We also request the dormant members, not to remain dormant and aloof. We request the fence sitters to jump the fence now.

Everyone in the community has to come forward and contribute towards the efforts.

Yours,
Chandrakanth - IV Volunteer

U r most welcome. Thanks for taking the initiative.

We need more people taking initiatives on this.

Folks, please come forward now. IV is your group. IV is "we all combined together"

Together we can make a difference. Sitting on the fence and doing nothing does not do any good for us.

Come on folks, all guests will now become members
All inactive members will now become active members
All non contributing members will now start contributing.

Go IV go

A thought came to mind for those still not convinced on this
Think of this IV drive as an opportunity to SAVE on future payments to USCIS.

All those "enjoying" Interim benefits will likely be shelling out atleast $350 every yr for renewals of EAD, AP (if you apply yourself) considerable more if you go through a lawyer... for those still on H1 ... you'll be spending on H1 renewals, travel to counsulates, Visa reciporocal fees etc etc

The wait time for the final Green card approval for those with more recent Priority dates with no changes could be anywhere from 3-4 yrs....

So conservatively you would be spending 4* 350 = $1400

Think about it.... what if IV's drive for changes is successful in lobbying for better provisions which reduce OUR wait times even if by a little bit ... lets say ... by one yr .... YOU would INSTANTLY SAVE $350 ... and it multiplies for every year you save waiting for the final approval.

Lets say you contributed $100 today and you saved 1 yr in wait time ...
YOUR Profit is $250 on a $100 contribution in 3 yrs
atleast 250% returns in 3 yrs .... Can any stock market/bond or CDs match that rate of return

Contribute now so that IV can make that profit for YOU

[chanduv23]

Come on folks - please contribute towards the efforts

[chanduv23]

Come on folks, time for some contributions.....

[abhijitp]

The sooner you get the stability that your GC brings, the easier it is for you to:
1. stop wasting money on renewing EADs/APs/ extending your H1B's
2. buy a house, stop wasting money on rent, build equity!
3. look for better job opportunities, the sky is the limit if you have the skills!
4. even within your present job, negotiate a better increment!

the list is long... (like you didn't know about it:) ) !

So... invest now in your future and sign up for a monthly contribution!

You know you will thank yourself you did!

I know I know... there is always the inevitable urge for "instant" gratification.... so here is the deal... the next 4 folks who do it and PM me will win a year long subscription to Readers' Digest!

[chanduv23]

Lets reach our target soon- come on fellow IVans - come on - please contribute for a good cause

[chanduv23]

Just 2 steps

(1) Contribute
(2) Post on this thread http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=15905

You will be glad you did it

[santb1975]

and the easiest Action Item to work on. Rallying fellow IV'ans to contribute and be part of this effort is not easy as clicking on contribute now.

[BharatPremi]

And no one can dare to put a price on tension, mental torture through which most are going through. To any one that is the biggest saving and so one should move forward for donating. So please respect the funding request from IV family for respecting yourself.

I contributed $100 and sent the message to all desi (FENCE SITTERS) who were working with me including who have received their GC. I never convinced by a rally in DC but I am fully convinced by lobbying for GC. This is the way to go and the democracy in US works.

Can you guys accept $50 also for one time contribution. There is no option for $50. I talked to some GC guys some of them willing to donate $50 but not $100.

Thanks,

[grupak]

there is a way to contribute less than $100

Use paypal and send any amount you like to
donations at immigrationvoice dot org

Thanks you ssingh92. Let your friends know about the option for using paypal for less than $100

Please post contributions on the main fund drive page, and motive others.

Do you all know Omnibus Funding Drive thread rocks? We had a great start today and we will have a good finish

Go IVans Go!

[franklin]

Everyone knows the you don't get something for nothing.

The Omnibus Bill is the most positive movement we as a green card hopeful community will have for some time.

Please contribute for your sanity and long term stability.

I know the feeling of relief that a greencard brings, but I still believe others need help. I've contributed for you. Now its your turn to help yourselves.

Please contribute.
