I am no Terrorist, any advice?

Talking about doing something together, my lawyer advised me that it would be of great benefit to file for a class action lawsuit. I am ready to do just that if we can come up a reasonable number of people who are able to afford it. We need to work together for better results.
 
It’s a very good idea to do something about it, I agree we have been patient all this time. I think first we should all try to write a letter/petition with the cooperation with human rights groups/refugees advocates to the appropriate people who can issue a weaver . They have issued a weaver before but it wasn’t good enough for all us, We should also CC the media especially Washington Post since they have addressed this issue 2-3 times the last 3 years. If we don’t have any response I think then we should try whatever it takes our voices heard.

The reason behind my post is to get advice and see what other people senator said and if they agree with what he said because I feel he didn’t do anything at all other wise I would see my case date has been updated like every time. Instead, why you don’t post what your senator said because that really help us. First I would know our congressman not doing what he supposes to do, or not making enough effort. Secondly, I would start looking for different person that is willing to help. I appreciate your opinion but we in a situation where every little detail help.. Thanks again

Assylum :-

Thank you for the advice, and that what I need to do is pray to god. But I agree we need to take further actions. Thanks

therouk,
I tried all the congressmen and all the senators in my state, most but not all of them they don't care about asylum seekers or refugees for two reason: 1- we will not be able to vote or make them elected or vice versa, so we has been treated same as non legal immigrant 2- they know immigration is controversy issue to deal with. 3- When the congressman or the senator knows that the case is in hold because of 212, they don't want to involve in this kind of issues. In my case for e.g USCIS reply to the congressman after my inquiry is that “You better not to involve in this case because it in hold for security matter”. As soon as he heard that his office sent me letter said we dropped your case and if you have any inquiry you can hire a lawyer.
Sorry for the lengthy story just trying to say that no congressman or senator will care about this issue. We are not terrorists and we are not illegal immigrants and we are not third class people and we can take this issue our hand to the court. If anyone here want to proceed by hiring a lawyer to seek legal advise and to understand what can we do together please email me.
 
I think asylee_1999 might be right,depending on your senator's/comgressman's voting records,it will be hard for them to act or even inquiry on your case,it even becomes worse if they find out your are hold due to "terrorist related activity"I have that feeling with one of my senators and another congressman.I researched their webside and saw all thier voting records.
 
asylee_1999 & samdalas40

I am 100% with you in any action we can do, let me know if you have a good lawyer so we can file as a group. If anyone in this post would like to join let us know. thanks

I am on board with this idea. I have been advocating for this for a while. May be someone from Denver might help us, as one of the above posts mentioned someone in Denver won a mandamus.

Thank You
 
Hi everyone,

I want to thank everyone for being active on this forum by posting daily news and responses from different sides. I want every one of us to take a s tep back and look and our situtation from different angle. I think the response "therouk" got from his senetor has some good idea on how we should act.
Lets focus on his senetors office email Qoute" have been told there are over 7,000 cases in this situation and DHS have cleared about 1,200 " end of qoute.

Now this qoute is telling us that DHS is reviewing pending cases and removing holds. But, the question is HOW FAST ARE THEY DOING THAT. They claim that the cleared 1,200 cases, and i would ask them how long did it take DHS to do that 3 months? 6 months? 1 year?. How many officers currently are working on these cases? What is the average of clreaed cases per month? Who they select those cases? by country? by application date (oldest)? Alphabeticaly?

1,200 out of 7,000 cases does not tell much though but still better than nothing?

Who can we answer the questions i raised above? by contacting Human Rights in American. Those people might be able to get some answers for us. Senetors and lawyers have their agendas and will not co-operate with us due the same resons we all know.

I think hiring a lawyer will not help us at all, and no lawyer will refuse to accept our cases as long as he is getting paid.

Finally, i just want to close by saying that we need some answeres for some questions before we move one step, ans sorry for my long reply.


HOPE FOR BEST
 
I don’t know about you guys, but I check this website at least twice a day just to see if there in an update on this issue. It definitely feels good reading from you all, especially those comments with hope and optimism. I also encourage people to keep writing, whatever information you’ve got, it gives us some short-term relieve.
Hope for the best, I doubt if it's a coincidence that you chose that name for your screen name, very optimistic and patient, I want to applaud you for that. It gives me comfort that someone in my same situations sees things with all the optimism. Having said, it’s kind of strange that USCIS sends out mails with different numbers, the mail I got after an inquiry about two weeks ago had this “the USICS has exempted approximately 11,000 eligible cases, however more than 16,000 cases are still on hold”. I hope my numbers are wrong, by the way, it was two weeks ago and my wildest guess will be that less than 5% of people with this problem follow this website, suggesting that as we speak, thousands are getting approved. Guys, I am not a cynic nor am I here to discourage anyone, I hope no one gets frustrated because of the numbers I just posted. Let’s keep hoping.

Thank you for sharing this info. Your number proves to me they are playing with us and giving us random number--a replay nothing further. I personally think your number is the correct one, as I 100% believe that "congress" didn’t inquire about my case at all and the number he gave is wrong. Guys only one way left is Writ of mandamus. Anyone welcome to post different idea. Thanks
 
good news, Just keep praying !!!!!

I'm all for suing their asses too.

This is completely ridiculous. If we don't do anything, it could be years before they even take any action on our cases. However, if we DO something such as sue their asses, they will be compelled to take some action. This is simply inhumane. They don't have any hearts man. 2 years, 3, 5 years and even 10 years - more than a DECADE has passed by for families to be separated and they're still reluctant. This sort of ridiculously idiotic "Patriot act" needs to be redefined and corrected asap.

How illogical is this, just think. So the asyless sought protection fearing prosecution/death threats and what not in their home country and they're the ones who're branded as terrorists and their cases are put on hold thanks to some moronic act? Where's the justice?

Lets try to find an extremely powerful lawyer and file for a writ of Mandamus. Time now for us to really act and put all this idiotic nonsense to bed - once and for all. The number of holds keep increasing - so I urge you all not to be deluded by a slight increase in the number of waivers that've been issued. Those who've acted have received approvals! I've come to know a personal acquaintance who used a lawyer to get his case approved while another compatriot sued their asses in San Francisco. This is simply barbaric man. 5 fkn years have passed since the last time I saw my mom and brother and these halfwits show no desire or indication of doing anything. All we get following our service requests is "actively processing" nonsense. They try to trick you by sending some clever messages such as "if you don't hear...please give 6 months" and what not. How long can we wait for?

Further, when you go to make inquiries w/ infopasses, the case officers treat you like you're a retard - literally yelling and scolding you for not being able to present your situation properly. Do these heartless pricks even have any compassion for what we're going through?

So again, LETS act. Lets take on them. If we just kept waiting, this "patience" nonsense will eat our souls and one day, you might just end up pondering what could've been happened if you had acted soon enough. I don't know about you all but this thing has been eating me for over a year now. I've spent more than 200 hours in this forum alone! Go figure!

Therouk, that's an old news and besides, while it might give you some consolation ( reading a news of such act being introduced ), but in reality, it might take years before they even implement it! Are you willing to wait for the next 2,3 or even 5 years?
 
hello, everyone

What you suggest to file the law sue as a group is the best ideas to solve this problem. I am ready to involve if you guys are ready to do so . Let's start.
 
My case has been pending almost 5 years. I inquired uscis today. They said my case is still pending. My question is how long we have to wait. Radiculous! Do something is better than nothing to do if we believe we are not terroists. They approve just one or two case out of 7000 pending cases. Security reason is the best reason to hold our cases.
 
Does president Obama know about this issue?
If not, then why don't you let your friends,co-workers,relatives,etc to contact his staff to bring this issue to his attention. He has the power to issue an executive order to remove the hold.
Remember that the president promised all citizens to have an open communication with him to collect feedback and hear concerns
Once again, he might be able to help.
Forget about lawyers and lawsuits, they won't do any good.
 
I have been talking to an Immigration lawyer in DC area for some time , He was following with USCIS the progress of the material support exemptions fo , He was in consultation with ACLU/AILA and just finished talking with him over the phone , he suggested if too many of us could bring the issue before a federal court in the same day with good media coverage ( suggested some plaintiffs should be willing to talk to the media ) that might impact our issue in a positive way . He will be filing a law suite for as many as 10 in DC area same day ......if any of you willing to join this move it might stirr things up.let me know your opinions please.
 
which one is better? If we can file as a group, this is better for us. They can hear our voices in one time. It doesn't make sense taking so long to review our cases. Working or sleeping in the uscis office. They do not work so much that's why our cases are pending so long. Do something to do. i live in new york.
