Rajiv,
I have two requests for you:
1) Thanks for posting the link to the petition on the main page of www.immigration.com . But i found that the text is spread over two lines and does not look catchy where as the Vermont I485 petition and BCIS Phone service petition are very prominently displayed. Since the other two petitions are now obsolete(past their prime:p ), can you please rearrange the hyper link for the Backlog Petition ? This helps us in getting the attention of thousands of people who visit your web site daily, and who do not enter discussion boards. It is difficult for us to catch them.
2) Can you please add the link to this petition under the "selected Topics" frame in the Main page (right side of main page)
Thanks Rajiv, for accepting my requests.
Monica, Can you please add the information about this petition in the "immigration.com updates" page also ?
 
The counter is used for us to see how many ppl have signed.
Right now about 450 ppl signed.

With this speed, I guess we'll get thousands of signatures this time.
 
Data Cleanup

Hi Rajiv / Monica,
I have seen that due to what ever reasons some people have entered samde data twice. For example, see the names "Navjeet Singh", "S Roy", "Syed Hasan" . These people have entered their data twice. I found out this while randomly going through the data. I think we have to remove these duplicate data (same name, same RD,same ND and signed at the same time).
What do you say, Monica ?
 
Sites!

I mostly see Chinese and Indian/Pakistani names in the signature list. When I went for my stamping in NYC, I found that most people(over 70%) waiting to get stamped were Spanish. We have to get out our link to some of the spanish forums.
Also Fragomen is a good place to forward our link to.
The site is http://fragomen.com

Let us all help Edison and spread the word. le us do something different every day. One thing, we can start contacts in the Press, Tv, Radio, etc.
We need volunteers. Another one are the so called influential think tanks. We need to find out which ones have to do with immigration. The link for 48 of them is

We can clean that up before we send it out. Someone locate Mr. Khtri's street address. we will Fed Ex the petition when we are ready.
 
Let me check

Rajiv and Monica, is it possible to add a counter at the end of signatures. Right now about 350 signatures collected. How many are we aiming for?

Monica?

I think dengdeng is the expert in finding out addresses. All others will also try.
 
Cinta,
Thanks for the links.
I contacted all the attorneys and organizations listed in attached documents and the list from usindiainfo.com except attorneys who hosted their sites on ilw.com since those pages are not active.

Thanks all again.


What Next??????
 
What Next?????? [/B][/QUOTE]

Edison, we should be thanking you for all the efforts you are putting. About, "www.ilw.com", you can use Internet Explorer instead of Netscape. They do have some famous attorneys (Mehta, etc).
Here is an article (wrong thread) I got from them this morning.

I moved it to the AC-21 thread!

Let us take inputs from others and continue the fight. Cheers.

New Interpretation On Job Flexibility During Adjustment Of Status

Rajiv,
It looks to me that we will have to mail our petition to the street address of Dept of Homeland Security. I tried to search to see if there is any exclusive address for Mr Khatri. I could not find any.
Here is the mailing address of DHS (as i found in www.dhs.gov):
Department of Homeland Security
Washington D.C - 20528

So let's mail our petition to

Prakash Khatri,
Citizenship and Immigration- Ombudsman
Department of Homeland Security
Washington D.C - 20528

dsatish and the other fellows,

Is it appropriate to CC the petition to selected individuals? For example, his boss Tom Ridge and the Attorney General Ashcroft? These two together make up a lot of power in Washington.

It would be better if we send the copies to them also.
