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, 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. Please participate actively.
 
Hi Every One,
Please contribute towards the fund and help us build a great organization for immigrants. Please post your comments in this thread.
 
I am a silent member. I really admire the active members like,
ayansgp, Edison, tr22, etc. They have done tremendous jobs to fight for us and help other people. I believe their I-485s have been approved. But they still passionately work for the rights of all of us. Please think about how much you have suffered from the delays, and think about how much you have paid to the inefficient lawyers and how much you have paid to renew you EAD/AP, etc. Then think about how much useful information, comfort and support you have received from this forum. I do hope all the people in the forums to donate whatever you feel comfortable with to this organization and give them your support, then post a message here to indicate YOU HAVE DONE IT to encourage other people to do same thing. I feel this is at least what we should do.

Leeya.
 
Good points, leeya.

Core members, the site says

There is no address , please make that correction.

I tried to send money via paypal and it gave a problem with cookies ( probabaly paypal & the security at my work issue). I will make my contibution tonight from home.
