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.

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.
