Make Your Contribuion Today !!


Hi Every One,
We, the Core Team of this forum, are pleased to announce the arrival of immigrationportal.org, a new organization to fight for the causes of legal immigrants.
We anticipate our activities to include matters such as working with the United States Congress for improving the immigration laws, working with USCIS for reducing the backlog of all types of immigration applications, working with the state and federal agencies to fight the type of discrimination cases we have seen with New Jersey DMV, etc.. To achieve all these results, we need a strong organization with enough funds so that we can pay for the legal and other organizational expenses.

We believe, one of our first goals should be to hire a full time, professional employee/contractor to work for us. Having a professional person working for us 7/24 will help our cause a great deal. So we ask every one to go to our new website www.immigrationportal.org and donate money for this, your cause. Let us not passively tolerate injustice. We must act.

Let me add a little bit of background to this organization. For the past 9 months, we have been discussing ways to fight the I485 backlogs. About 4 months back, we decided to take a long term approach for this problem and started working towards forming an organization. Rajiv S. Khanna, our host, helped us in registering the organization and he has accepted to be present as a director in the board. The other members on the board of directors are : 140_takes_4ever, ayansgp, dsatish, Edison, frantic, kash777, Kashmir, MrCoolz, rajum, rk4gc, tr22 and yjay. The actual names of these people can be found on the website. All these people have been actively working in the VSC/CSC/NSC/TSC I485 forums for the past year and more. We (the board members) will not take any remuneration and we will not claim any reimbursement for the time we have spent on the activities. We are doing it as a service and what motivates us is our passion and excitement of starting perhaps the first organization to work for the rights of legal immigrants. This organization belongs to all the legal immigrants. The name and the URL of the organization have been licensed from Mr. Khanna at the fee of one dollar ($1.00) per annum. His office is providing the initial facilities such as phone, fax numbers and street address. Note that nobody owns this organization and every year, the board members will be elected by the registered members of this people�s organization.

We are ready to answer any questions. Please visit (y)our website and donate generously. Most of the core team members have donated $200 each, but there are no rules governing how much every one should donate. Please donate according to your wish and keep visiting the new forum for discussions about our activities.

ImmigrationPortal.Org compliments immigrationportal.com. It is to give a face to all of us on the Internet. Its our organization and all of those behind ImmigrationPortal.Org are from this very forum as you see.

I believe the initiations by Kashmir and the support by 140_takes_4ever and others are major reasons making CIS notice our problems and pushing it to act towards reducing backlogs. There are many initiations in all the forums and we want to put them together at one place in an organized manner and hence the ImmigrationPortal.Org.

Its our organizations and I ask every member of this community to be a volunteer for ImmigrationPortal.Org and contribute in whatever way you can. If you can spare some time on drafting email, letters to congresspersons. and senators, join in a Core member of the Ocean group ( The Core member of Ocean group is expected to participate in each of the Ocean initiative and counted towards sending email/fax initiated as part of Ocean project). We have not yet formalized how we create the core Ocean group membership yet though, we will publish that info soon.

All the discussions about ImmigrationPortal.Org are disccussed in the ImmigrationPortal.Org forum at immigrationportal.com.

(The forum link http://boards.immigrationportal.com/...s=&forumid=213 )

And not the least not only your time and wisdom in making ImmigrationPortal.Org a success, we need the money for many activities of ImmigrationPortal.Org, so please donate as much as you can.

Kashmir - how much is enough? Just give me from-to numbers because I'd be feeling bad if I contribute too little and I'd also feel bad if I think that I'm giving too much, more than the others.

Hi, ruxrux,
It's totally up to you.

If you want some examples,
according to a couple of threads at VSC forum:
http://immigrationportal.com/showthr...hreadid=121175
http://immigrationportal.com/showthr...hreadid=122531
most of people seem to donate $100 - $250.

Honestly speaking, I don't know how much each person has donated because I don't have any access to the fund.

Also, there are some discussions at the above threads in case you're interested.

Hi Friends,
This is an important news for all those who are on H1 Visa and also those 
who are going through the Green Card process. As you might be aware, now a 
days the Green card process has become very slow and it is taking more than 
2 years for I485 stage itself. This is in addition to the 2 years or so spent 
waiting in LC stage. A lot of the people waiting for their Green card 
converge at http://www.immigrationportal.com/ for sharing the information
about the current status of green card processing. These members have decided
to apply pressure on USCIS (INS) to improve the processing speed. They have
formed an organization called immigrationportal.org and developed a web site
to spread the message to the fellow members and collect money for achieving 
their objectives. The objectives were defined on the web site. The main 
purpose for the fund collection is to meet the legal and organizational 
expenses. Prominent immigration lawyer Rajiv Khanna who owns the popular 
web site http://www.immigration.com/ has accepted to be one of the directors
of the new organization. This organization is controlled my a group of senior 
members of immigrationportal.com.
I request all of you to go to http://www.immigrationportal.org/ and make your
online donation today. The payments are secure and your credit card
information is not passed to the organization. For I485 discussions please
visit the following forums :
