DRAFT 2 - Rajeevnair32 and Mickey_32 take note
Okay Guys - my two cents worth this time. Rejeevnair32 has agreed to coordinate this and Mickey_32 will review the sentence structure/tenses. I have reviewed Rajeev's first draft and incorporated it within. I hope I have covered all grounds. Please review text attached.
I was thinking that the editorial pages of the local newspapers (Georgia)should get a copy. To make it more credible we could probably have our aliases, and country location to show support for the letter such as NI, Florida. - the more the better. I do not want our real names down as I do not want anybody to be penalized, if that happens.
I heard over the radio last night that DOL is wanting to raise all immigration fees . DOL's reason for this is that they want to improve their services. That's a laugh.
All the best, guys.

should we customeze the letter to audiences ?
NII, rajeevnair32 , Micky_32, msatl and ALL,
Should we not customize this document to suit different audiences ?
The people who read news papers, most of them may not even know what DOL is, so it might need a short explanation about what DOL is and where it stands in terms of residency etc.
Same goes with lawmakers, what part of immigration application processing do they know already, who will explain them the context ?
How can we present it to different people so they clearly understand the personal/psychological, career/professional
dilemmas we face ? How the application for this piece of paper "GC", controls/restricts what we do as a person in this
society.
Who else are our audiences, are they arleady familiar with this stuff ?

Re: should we customeze the letter to audiences ?
The earlier part of the letter, refers to ATL DOL as Atlanta Department of Labor. From thereon, the abbreviation is utilized. The whole immigration process, though not explained in it's entirety, is referred to in the bullets. I agree with Mickey_32, that we should not have too long a letter, keep it short and concise and structure it to an extent where the highlights can be singled out. For busy politicians, we will be really lucky if we can even get five minutes of their time. I also agree to keep emotions out of it and try to uphold professionalism at all cost. In order for the contents to be taken seriously, the letter must be written in good English, mind the p's and the q's as well as the tenses.
As for customizing, I leave it in the good hands of the coordinators.

USCIS Proposes Fee Adjustment to Enhance Service
USCIS Prioritizes Backlog Reduction in FY2005 Budget
Since this is USCIS, would this affect DOL? Just a thought. Anyway, those who are pending labor now would probably be affected later.

Dear Brothers and Sis,
You are the first whom I am informing this news, even I didn't call my wife yet at home.
So now you might have guessed what happened yessss yea
CERTIFIED !!! CERTIFIED !!! CERTIFIED !!! CERTIFIED !!!
on 01/28/2004 an dtoday my employer got letter from ATL DOL, but I am wondering why did they sent to my employer. I didn't hear anything from my attorney, I will email him today.
Best part of the whole story is AVM still says "Your cas has been recieved on blah blah blah...." sucks
I can say if my they certified my case, then all of you would get certified for sure. Coz I place one Ad for only one day and waited only for 15 days to file. Thats why I was worried about readvertisements.
Good luck and best wishes and don't rely on AVM. this is my 2 cents advice.

Congrats Prosix
Prosix,
It is really good to hear of your approval. My date is the 6th of Jan 2003 and I am hoping to hear something by the end of this month. It has been almost 3 years since my application was filed and I am hoping that this misery will end soon.
Good luck on the I-485 stage. Hope to see you on that forum in the coming months.

It was certified on 28-JAN-04 and at present my mind is setup for CP coz I don't want to wait forever for texas-485 process and facing problems EAD, AP renewals. I don't know whether I can save my job upto CP interview time, but I am going to gamble for better life and pick the CP.

Hi prosix,
Very happy to hear that you are off the list. I have been hearing similar messages from other forums.
May be this month they started working. Last month, I didnot hear even a single case certified on this forum or any other forum.
Let us see how far they go with certification before they get paralyzed again.
Congrats to you again!
I dont know whether it is a good idea to go for CP, because for CP you have to wait till your i-140 gets certified, which is approx 14 months or more, then only you can file for CP. In case of i-485 you can file them concurrently.
Also, on the top of that, CP will take additional 4-6 months, so atleast 18 months in best case.
If any of us has some luck, meet you after some months.
