No clear FIFO being implemented from DOL, missing its own construal analysis as being promised on their website, http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/foreign/faqsanswers.asp#blcp1 I would like to call all of you to get your thoughts in resolving this grave issue. In the past when such promises were broken, the only way its been assured is by filing a lawsuit. Few months ago, when this matter was discussed with Rajiv Khanna in the conference call, he suggested that the case would be weak as we all focused in slowness of BECs daily work. But this time, we can still run our case stating why RIR and TR cases never received any equitable treatment in processing? If you all agree with me, lets do something about it. I also would like to thank GCBy2010 by bringing this issue up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have finally decided to go against DOL and file a lawsuit to seek our progress in corporate american game. Please follow the thread and see if your contribution will make any difference. I appreciate all your effort in getting involved to see the solution by means of lawsuit.

Hi sbdol: Your effort is indeed an appreciatiable one, you have done remarkable job. All memebers will thank you for your wonderful tasks.
1. Elect a responsible person who would direct the efforts and collect the contributions in a safe manner. See below.
---I will take this opportunity to collect the funds IF there is no objection from single member of this forum who is actively seeking a lawsuit be an ultimate option.
2. Create spreadhseet for the people willing to contribute.
---I will create a spreadsheet, and will post the money being donated or contributed as I received it in my regular mail with all the data as necessary.
It should have the following fields:
a) Nickname of the contributor.
b) Whether his case is being submitted to the lawsuit
c) Contributed amount.
d)... Anything else ?
I am not that proficient with excel so could somebody create a nice template?
---I am not going to create a nice one, just a plain simple, if anyone can come up with all the bullets, then it can be replaced later on.
3). Everyone willing to contribute sends a personal check on the name of Office of Rajiv Khanna to the person elected under p.1 .
---People should send their checks to the address I will provide, and should mention on the check of its expiry after 120 days of its issuance. Every check should read Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna as a payee.
4). These checks should be kept uncashed until we achieve the necessary amount.
---I will make sure none of these checks will be cashed or send to Rajiv Khanna, until we come up with 10K.
If for some reason the deal will fail the checks should be sent back.
---I cannot send a check back to you, it will automatically be invalid after 120 days of issuance. Or you may request your bank to stop the payment on your particular check number that is sent to me.
Also every contributor can just ask his bank to cancel the check.---Whichever is easier for you.
The person who is responsible for collecting the checks will enter each contribution in the spreadsheet and post it here.
---I will be doing that, and will be updating it regularly, almost in daily basis.
Once we collect the necessary amount all the checks are sent to Rajiv and he can file the suit.
---I think everyone agrees to the terms and conditions that has been setforth here.
5). If somebody can induce his employer to participate or to contribute that would be extremely helpful.
---Employer participatation is not necessary, but if someone wants to talk to their employer and he/she wishes to track the case, we could do that as well.
I believe this way everybody will feel safe, which at the end should ensure more people will contribute.
---I will make sure, no one will SKIM our plan, if it works it will be benificial to all the community members, if it fails we still have peace of mind.
How does it sound ?
---This works great.
Q. Why are we filing the law suit?
A. Department of Labor significantly delayed the adjudication of labor applications. Some applicants have been waiting for more than 5 years. Despite promises to process cases in FIFO order the applications are processed randomly. To make the thing worse DOL removed any access to the processing times leaving applicants in complete information darkness.
Q. Are going to win the lawsuit?
A. The main purpose of the lawsuit is not to win but to bring attention of the public and lawmakers to the problem, which at the end could be even better than winning the lawsuit.
Q. Who is going to represent you in the court?
A. Rajiv S. Khanna.
Q. How can I participate in the lawsuit?
A. Currently we are collecting funds for the lawsuit.
You can send a check in the amount of $100 in the name of Office of Rajiv Khanna to the following address:
Fund Collection Campaign
26 Norwich Drive Suite # D
Rochester, NY 14624
Also we need about 30 – 40 real cases preferably with the earlier priority dates to represent them in court. If your case can help to prove the unfairness of DOL it would be very helpful.
Q. How can I be sure that my check will not be used for some other purpose?
A. The check can be cashed only by the beneficiary, in our case Rajiv Khanna. We will keep collected check till we achieve the requirement amount of $10,000. If for some reason the suit will not be filed we will destroy the checks. You are encouraged to instruct your bank to cancel your check.
Q. Do I have to notify the employer if I want to participate?
A. According to Rajiv you don’t have to.
Q. Is this a Class Action Lawsuit?
A. Not, at least initially. This way we will save time and money.
