A great day for Legal Immigrants

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.

How many 485-approved people contributed money/time to your "noble" cause :D:D

Dear friend,
Half of the core team members (who are the board of directors) are GC holders now. They are edison,frantic,yjay,kash777,tr22,ayansgp. The new organization is not all about fighting the I485 backlog. It is more about fighting against all kinds of discrimination against us and also to change the immigration laws. Ofcourse, as of this moment, the top priority is to fight the backlogs. But we will simultaneiously work towards changing the citizenship act to make us eligible for citizenship sooner.
I hope that you might have made your contributed today.
 
Thank you

It is Good and glad to know that there is still existance of selfless people.

Truth ALWAYS triumphs !! All the best ...

Another suggestion

You guys are doing a great job and thanks very much for it. I would think and you might have already brainstormed this that making a one time donation is not going to help the cause.

So, I would say that you should ask everyone interested to make bigger first payment (say $100-$200) and then some continous monthly payment (I don't think $20/month is a big deal for most of the people). That way if you have 150 committed members atleast you have a fixed income source and you know with how much you have to manage with.

Good suggestion and well received. We'll plan to implement something like this.

Thanks.
 
I'd like to back Edison with Prem Chopra's suggestion of a monthly contribution. Its indeed a very good idea which probably we can implement.
 
Hopefully, with good donations from all of you here, we will get enough funds in the first round itself, so that there won't be any need for monthly donations. Please donate generously.
 
Great initiative !
I would like to contribute.can you post the address to which I can send the check or account # to which I can deposit the money?
( I don't wish to pay online)

Thanks
