Guys,

Can anyone in IV confirm if this is a valid source...to send faxes.

As much as I'm tempted to fill out my information on a public forum, I wanted to know if this site is NOT some crappy site trying to cash on my emotions. Really, there are blood-suckers out there...

Thanks!

IMHO, this is a legitimate website as I have been getting updates from them regularly and they are a supporting group for illegal immigrants path to legalization. As per the email I received today, anti-immigrants have sent 693,437 faxes to Washington this month to oppose reform.

Guys lets do it and send as many we can...........

Ahoy sailors !!! sail ahead full throttle.

All,
Please use this opportunity to contact Congressmen and White House - it's extremely easy and simple to do so! All you have to do is fill in your address and send a message which will automatically be faxed to each of the targeted Congressmen as well as the White House. I just spent the following message - feel free to use this as a template:


Subject: "What is the RoadMap for reforming Legal Immigration Process?"
Message: "I am writing today to express deep concern about the legal immigration process! Are you aware that there are over a million legal and highly skilled applicants,who have been working in this country legally and paying taxes, but are waiting in line for an Employment based Green Card, some for over 8 years? A majority of these Legal Immigrants have been impacted by horribly slow administrative processing by the Deparment of Labor between 2002-2006 which resulted in the pipeline for Legal Immigration becoming clogged at that time. Now that obstacle has been finally been cleared, the line of Legal Immigrants is coming up against annual limits to Legal Immigration (both overall and country based) followed by the USCIS. This is directly a result of the Deparment of Labor dragging its heels and holding up applications during over the years mentioned above, resulting in several hundreds of thousands of visa numbers going unused during that time. I request you to act now to relieve the pain and suffering of these Legal Immigrants by recapturing those unused Visa Numbers and allowing these Legal Immigrants to progress through the Immigration System.

This reform will strengthen the rights of all workers, value families, hold employers accountable, and move America forward. During the election, President Obama pledged to reform our nation's immigration laws in just this way. I am writing today because I want to see the plan to get this done.

Please let me know what the road map looks like to passing immigration reform. Our families, our communities, and our economy cannot wait any longer for this urgent reform.

Sincerely,"

I cannot stress how important it is to send them these faxes so as to drive focus on the plight of Legal Immigrants!

[Leo07]

But...I'm not comfortable with subject, that is starting with a question.. ( reply to svn's post)

IMO, it might backfire as...'What da xxxx is in it for legal immigrants?'( depending upon ones mood at that time)

I'm more for a lowered tone...request, that is.

Thanks hsingh82! for the post and validating the site.

[psaxena]

what is the deadline for the final letter and when can we start the campaign.

Also I would really appreciate if someone can post the instruction on how to send the fax.. step by step so that the non IT layman also can do that.

Please keep bumping this post and put a poll on this thread or start a thread just to get the count on how many did it.

Leo, that was just a suggestion - as I said, feel free to modify as you deem appropriate! The important thing is to send the faxes so we can draw attention to our plight!

[shukla77]

Cheers

I have added the poll.

Ganguteli - I told you what I think, its your choice now.

This is about illegals. Do not fall for that trap.

These organizations are looking for bodies to send faxes. Illegals do not know computer and English. But programmers who sit in a cubicle all day and have plenty of time to go on websites and post, are a perfect fit to further the agenda of this organization.

Just ask yourself:
Has this organization leader spoken to you or IV asking for support and promised that they will work for legals?

So why are you promoting them?
They will not do anything for you if CIR comes.

Sub: Legal Immigration and CIR

Body:

I am here to talk about LEGAL immigration. In all the noise about illegal immigration and their path to legalization a very important subject is lost and that is LEGAL immigration, and delays and problems they are facing.
I came to US in 2000 with a perfect business plan and dream to start a company and spread prosperity, but the path I had to take was H1B visa. After coming here my last 9 years have been spent on getting Green Card ( I have recently filed for my 10th year H1B Extension), and my GC application with a priority date of 2003 March is still waiting in Backlog.
While there is some opposition for illegal immigration more than 90% of people I meet support the improvement in process for LEGAL immigrants. I hope in this CIR while looking at illegal immigration you pay special attention to LEGAL immigration.

Together we can build a happy and prosperous America for future generations.

Sincerely

[ganguteli]

I am also asking people to think so that they are not taken advantage of.

Ganguteli, I hope you are not just a 'body'. Has anyone on this thread faxed anything through that website supporting illegals?? People @ IV (may be not all) are smart enough to use their tool for our advantage.

[psaxena]

Use a seperate email id and get the spam mails..whats the issue..

Are you the one who wanna be part of the solution or part of the problem.. ask yourself.
sure you gonna get an which you won't like yourself. Its not about supprting CIR , its about behti ganga main nahane ka hai.. ( I mean your things done no matter how, hope this is the right translation, english main haath bahut kamjor hai)

See they took your personal information and now spamming you. How are you sure they wll not share your personal information with anyone?

[psaxena]

We have the option of sending free faxes right on IV itself.

[shukla77]

So Mr Nangu Teli,:D
What exacly do you propose that we should do? Other than saying contribute and join the state chapters.

[ganguteli]

I am asking people to think before acting.

I am not opposing webfax. I am opposing webfax you are sending to promite illegals. These organizations are going to use you to market them self. Secondly nobody is going to read your fax if you even change the words.
Organizations supporting illegals will do nothing for legals.
If you think that by changing the words , you can use their fax to spread your message, then why dont you go to anti-immigrant websites and change their words and send faxes to support legals. You will not do it because you know anti-immigrant is written on top of the fax.
So why do you want to become a puppet of someone else.

psaxena if you really want to do something, how about collecting the names of all the people in the meeting and post their phone numbers on the forum. Then tell us what to say and we will all call their offices now.

[arunmohan]

It is not taking more than 5 minutes. Please start sending and forward it your friends.

Do you understand that if anything is going to happen for us it has to be through CIR at this time? It is a fact that Illegal immigration group with 12 million people have much louder voice than we IV/legal immigrants. If you don't suppport CIR then you are supporting anti-immigrants by sitting quite at this time. CIR may be 90% for illegals and 10% for legals and with friends like Zoe Lofgren in the committee we should be hopeful that there will be definitely some relief for us. Ist step is to support CIR.

Subject: 13 years to get a green card through legal route!

Message:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I will need in total 13 years to get a green card, even though I am employed in high skill job!

I applied for green card in July 2006 under employment based category 2 (EB2-India), which is only for the people employed in a high skill job. There are more than 25,000 people waiting in this category and the annual quota is only 3,000. At this rate, I may get visa after 10 years or 13 years in total!

Furthermore, I am restricted by law to work in the same or similar job category till I get green card. So on one hand the category wants bright people but on the other hand it stops that bright person from advancing in the career for not 1 or 2 years but 13 years!

How human is it to make a person and his family who has been in this country for last 10 years, paid taxes on time, has no criminal record, and employed in a very high skill job wait 13 years to get a green card so that can start a normal life?

Thank you for reading.

Best Regards.


Notes:
Mr. Charles Oppenheim of the Department of State Visa Office stated on June 10, 2009 that there are 25,000 EB2 India cases that are pre-adjudicated but are waiting for a visa number.

[psaxena]

Which number do you want ,their bedroom line or the personal cellphone number or their GFs with whom they got extra marital affair.

Gangu bhaiya, Like I always tell my team members, there are 100000 excuses you can make for not doing the work , but if you really wanna do it, you will do that no matter how..

The leaders in the meeting are public figures their numbers, faxes is published everywhere.. if you really wanna do it ,go figure.. you are in US for so many years waiting for your GC, and you need to be spoon feeded.. why? Please get over it and fight for it yourself.
If you call them or fax them you will be doing it for yourself and favor to no one else. This is our struggle for ourselves. I am not a saint or mahatma to fight for somebody's else's cause.. I am fighting for MYSELF. But doing it with everyone, who share the same cause to make an impact.

Subject : Legal workers' immigration issues in CIR

Dear Sir/Madam

In CIR, please address legal workers' immigration problems.
Legal workers are waiting for GC for years (decade or more in lot of cases) because of unavailability of visa numbers. These law abiding people and their families suffer financial, social and many other hardships due to broken immigration system.

Thanks you.

Sincerely,
XXXXXXX
