Should we notice other web site?

Hi, friends:

We should not only post this petition in this website.

Anyone joined other immigration forum could post this petition on those web sites.

And we petite not only for our CSC but for all the service center.

Then we could accumulate enough pepole (serveral hundreds?)
to get law-makers supporting.

Shall we?
 
Askgc, Candie, kashmir et al,

I support you all on this I-140 backlog reduction campaign. I live in VA but my I-140 and I-485 (filed concurrently in 12/2003) are pending with CSC. Can I also send an email/fax to CA senators or should I send my correspondences to VA senators??

Any thoughts are appreciated. I would definitely act accordingly.

You shoud primarily contact Congressional members in VA, and they have to respond to you.
Of couse, it would help the campaign your writing to Congressional members in CA, too.

sample formatted letter

Hello All,

I've attached four sample letters in MS word format for two senators and two congresswomen. Those letters include their addresses, phones, and faxes so you can simply fax and then mail them out. Remember to put in your name, address, case number and email at the end.

Good luck everyone, let's repeat the actions every ten days!
 
Suggested letter to Prakash khatri

Hi All,

Any suggestions on this letter to Prakash Khatri, he directly reports to
deputy secretary of DHS not to USCIS.

Dear Ombudsman Prakash Khatri,

First of all we want to thank you for the suggestions given by you to reduce the backlog in the process of immigration related cases and for helping our friends from this forum on 485 processing delays at California Service Center.

We are writing to you regarding the unreasonable delays in adjudication of the Employment-Based I-140 cases at almost all of the Service Centers of the USCIS and USCIS memo, by Director Fujie Ohata dated March 31 2004, which invalidates the PL 106-313 (AC 21 public law) due to concurrent adjudication of I-140 with I-485.

According to CSC’s progress report, CSC is adjudicating the I-140 cases filed before July 2003. Also USCIS has not shown any progress for most of the I-140 cases since August 2003. Please note that the CSC was adjudicating I-140 EB2 cases filed around July 17 2003 as of August 1 2003. Congress has expressed repeatedly that the reasonable adjudication period is 6 months for immigration cases.

As per new USCIS memo of concurrent filing for I-140 and I-485, the cases will be adjudicated concurrently. Even if I-140 is filed concurrently, it will take the same time as adjudicating I-485. Since I-485 is taking anywhere between 24 - 36 months to process in CSC, not adjudicating I-140 before hand will not allow candidates to use AC 21. This defeats the purpose of the AC-21 law. The caveat here is, USCIS interpretation, that candidates could change jobs only if their I-140 petition is approved and I-485 petition is pending for over 180 days. Ideally the candidate should be allowed to change jobs after 180 days has passed by after filing I-140 and I-1485 concurrently, irrespective of I-140 status.

In summary we, as immigration portal community, request you to 1.) Please bring this up with USCIS and expedite I-140 processing so that it will give required relief to non-concurrent I-140 filers as well as the concurrent filers; 2) correct the USCIS interpretation of AC 21; and 3.) request Mr. Don Nuefeld to move some reasonable number of adjudicators to I-140 unit from other units such as I-485 where there has been significant improvement recently.

Sincerely,
