Good News for some WAC03 Applicants, but very Disappointed News for WAC02 Applicants

Sometimes I feel like you need a moderator to moderate your
rhetoric.

My sincere advice to you....Recite the Gayatri mantra 21 times
everyday. That will keep your mind peaceful.

Have to agree with you, though I am not technically the moderator of this forum (inspite having moderator rights - which I hope I have never abused), I guess it is time to act my age and be a little more responsible. I will be stepping back, both in rhetoric as well as any flame wars. Will leave the rhetoric to the young bucks out there. Thanks for the advice nonetheless, no offence taken.

As far as the Gayatri mantra is concerned, it would definitely make my mother very happy if I did that. :)

However, you have this tendency to offer unsolicited comments and try to be an "advocate" to someone who really didn't ask for it. We have locked horns on this before when you answered for Soumy. We are all grown ups (atleast most of us) and can answer questions/defend ourselves. RJL's questions where directed towards kashmir and he is a big enough boy to answer those questions himself. You jumped into this unnecessarily and made provocative comments. This is unfortunate. I think you have reached a different level on this portal and spend more time resolving skirmishes and disputes than creating a few.

ECGC,

I don't see the harm in jumping into any conversation and offering my view points. This is a forum, (n. pl. fo·rums, also fo·ra (fôr, fr) - A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas) and, we are all here to discuss viewpoints, if only the person who the question was addressed too answered, we wouldn't be having meaningful conversations at all. But I agree, sometimes I am a little harsh, and provocative, but NEVER mean, or mean spirited, I always apologize to the subjects of my wrath. Read all my follow up posts in this or any other thread, and you will see what I mean. I see no reason that a person shouldn't say what he/she thinks as long as he/she doesn't hurt others, in which case should apologize.

I agree, my rhetoric is getting a little too strident, and I am toning it down. If you notice it has been a while since I got into any flame wars. This one, was just because I felt people were all jumping on Kashmir, and ignoring the issues that he has been a lone voice for these last 12 months or so. I felt they were unjust mudslingers who couldn't do the job and were pulling down people who were, and hence my intervention.

But I guess all these things are counter-productive and only serves to divide our forces which should be offering a united front against INS.
 

Finally, the CSC stopped issueing RFE to WAC03 cases from 3/16/2004.
Also, the CSC started processing JAN 2002 cases.
You can find the detail at Project Kashmir.

I strongly believe it thanks to the Direct Campaign to Don Neufeld #11a and #9, and some Congressperson's supports triggerred by Campaign #5 of Project Ocean.
Congratulations to all participants in these campaigns !!
 
ECGC,

Not to take this argument any further, but from a technical view point; No where in the definition of the word forum does it say that you can't utter some words against a participant. Having said that, I also dispute the fact that I called him a "Fat Ass" Or that I asked him "Shut Up", here is a direct quote of that particular post:

If you feel Kashmir is misguided and the campaigns are ill concieved then WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? It is very easy to sit on your fat ass and not do anything

Why don't you run your own campaign, with as much passion, and with the long term commitment that Kashmir has shown. If you can't then SHUT UP! Don't critisize for the sake of it.

So technically I din't call him a "Fat ass", going by the context as you can see, I used it more as a metaphor. As far as asking him to "Shut up", it only applied to him if he couldn't run his own campaigns or do something more constructive than criticize without providing solutions.

The only grouse that RJL can have with me is my tone of voice, and uncalled for vehemence for which I had already made amends, as you can see from my third post on this page. More so, I think RJL's posts had more of a personal attack than mine. Regardless, it is time for this controvery to die.

Rjl,

If you perceived any of my posts as being a personal attack, then I do apologize for those words. I still stand by my argument that if you want to make a change you must be a part of it, sitting and point flaws without pointing out solutions is just not done.



I will be deleting most of my posts from this thread, they are a waste of time and band width!
 
I had wanted this to die but as you asked no hard feeling 140_takes_4ever.
Yes you were direct but you hit the point head on. My posts were direct so I expected soome flack back. You apologized so I just moved on.

I don't think I made any personal attacks - I have alot of respect for Kashmir and the work he has done - I did and still do feel his last couple of campaigns were not well thought out.


ECGC,
I don't like being told to edit a post - I think I have a right to an opinion. Its better to respond than to tell me in some fatherly condersending manner to remove it.

Oh well back to waiting for my GC
 
rjk,

Absolutely no hard feelings from my side. I think you have good ideas and they should be implemented, please consider helping us with the campaigns, they are always open to all volunteers, you can help run the campaign in the direction you think it right. Participation will only lead to a united front. And don't go by any Junior/Senior member BS! The title means absolutely NOTHING! All that matters are deeds.

As far as the idea behind deleting the posts are concerned, there is no harm in doing so, if the posts are contrary to the purpose of the thread and of no further use. This has been established practice. But I don't think there is any need for you to delete/edit any of your posts. Your posts were lucid and you raised good points. The only reason I modified my posts was because, my posts were contrary to the spirit of the thread and hence deserved to be deleted/modified.

When I refered to your personal attack I was referring to :

Sorry but I think this and some of your other campaigns are ill conceived and not helping.
You do not have the facts and therefore you are making wild acquisations, that never helps a cause.

But you clarified your stance on Kashmir and his works, and now it is a dead matter.

Let me end this post with a request again to you to help us be better. And I promise no one will give you grief in any Project Ocean thread over Jr/Sr issues.

Congratulations, Kashmir!!!! And to all of us.

I was to bring it up, could it be that they mistook those 03'ers as
those who are waiting on the top of the queue? Now I am so glad that it is resolved.
 
RFE received by lawyer, on-line status not update

WAC 03-017-5xxxx
RD 10/23/2002

First FP 12/12/2002

RFE is received by lawyer regarding Income taxes, W2 and paystubs. On-line and Voice message are not updated and still reflect "Result of finger printing reviews were received on ...."

I have personally felt that Faxes and campains are good constructive ways of doing things here.

Protesting before USCIS offices is a risky gesture especially
at this time when Indians are seen as job snatchers.

I can see already the story on the television
"(Bloody) Indians protest for their right to snatch away
American jobs"

My 2 cents.

What do you mean by right to snatch away american jobs,
all these folks already have their jobs and that is the basis
of filing 485 based on the employment. And why the heck
you seem to have already shat in your pants. Dude, its
people like you that probably give India a bad name. So
does that mean you have a guilt feeling while being
here. At least thats what seems from the way you write.
So why dont you leave and a "poor" american can get a job.
I am yet to meet an american who would seem guilty
of US attacking Iraq, so why the hack are you so ashamed
of putting 8 hours a day at your job and still feel guilty.

All these protesting people are saying is that if you
have taken an application to adjudicate a 485 case
please decide it within reasonable time frame.
It does not matter if you deny, thats fine there
are other places people live too and proabably much happier.
But do decide yes or no within a reasonable time frame like
6 months. Is it too much to ask ?

-JC.
 
New Campaign #11b

According to this weekend scan result of Project Kashmir,
the CSC is working on WAC02 cases filed in September 2002, and there are still some activities on WAC03 cases.
Compared to these activities, I believe it is not enough for old WAC02 cases filed in January 2002 or in 2001.

Also, even though the number of approvals in last week become more than double,
it is still far from the satisfactory level.
Don Neufeld seems to have SLIGHTLY increased I-485 adjudication resource, however his promise is "SIGNIFICANTLY increase".

I encourage somebody to take the initiative for new campaign
so that Don Neufeld would significantly increase resource allocations to I-485 adjudications beginning April 2004.
