Action team - Volunteers for core team

Friends,

You all might be aware of all the activities we initiated here to address immigration applications backlog at USCIS. Now it is time to organize ourself and form a non-profit organization. Our current focus is on legal action against USCIS and Congressional campaign for GC processing delays.
Attorney Rajiv has agreed to be on Board of directors. Now we are planning to form a core team among our forum members to form this organization and move ahead with our objectives. I would like to have representation of atleast 2 members from each forum. It should be diversified ethnic group. Also team should have both men and women.


Please follow this thread and post your views.

We need representation from all the forums.

Update from Rajiv

We have spoken with the Bar and CitiBank.

It may be very complicated for us to hold your money and then pay ourselves or other people involved. As I have said earlier, paying ourseleves is not an issue. But I may want to hire another law firm to go in with us. That will make our lives a bit easier and probably help get the class certified from Court.

I asked our CPA Mr. Viajy Sharma to help. He was a full time consultant for our firm and now does our consulting as well has his own practice. In my opinion he is an honest man.

Vijay has agreed to open an account and hold your money. We can allow him to take reimbursement for his time spent on the effort and he can manage the accounting and disbursement. The only problem is, whose directions should he obey? For instance, who has the authority to say, spend on this, not that etc..

A much better option is to organize a 501c3 (non-profit corporation). I would be happy to be on the Board of Directors.

Discuss these issues here please.

In the interim, I have a team member looking only at a cause of action on which we can sue.

I will be in Chicago over the weekend. By next week we should have a direction to proceed.

I will have Sharma ji do it.

He was telling me we do not have to wait for the 501c3 status before we can start our activity. The incorporation in VA will take only 2-3 weeks.

I am thinking of incorporating ImmigrationPortal.ORG, Inc. as a non-profit. We own that URL. We could donate that to the community. No problem.

Nice of you to suggest, Edison. I am sure there are others here that could be more useful to this cause. Like I mentioned sometime ago in another thread, I sincerely admire the energy and perseverance that you are able to muster in support of the attempt to make this land your permanent home. As for me, I do not feel particularly energetic about asserting my rights, if any, in this country, including that of forcing the INS to do its duty to adjudicate my I-485 within a reasonable period of time.

Speaking for myself, I have gotten increasingly disillusioned about life here and have slowly come to the realization that many of the reasons that brought me here are illusory. If fact, every time I think seriously about going back, I feel a tinge of excitement that I have not felt in a long time. To top it all, there is more than an even chance that my I-485 will be denied and as I think about it, I feel relief more than disappointment or loss. Even though I may be able to delay the inevitable by a year or two, I have tried to sort out all the pushes and pulls and concluded that I would not be too consternated to decamp and return. Lately, I have begun to even strategize, somewhat unhappily, about the best way to dispose off the frightening array of stuff that has accumulated over the past six years.

So, all in all, I will just offer my best wishes to you and the group.
