Latest Count

675 as of 11AM.
Did all of you add your spouse name separately ? Looks like many people entered only their names.
 
Prakash Khatri's contact address

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,
BCIS Ombudsman
Department of Homeland Security
Washington D.C - 20528

What do you all say ?
 
Latest count ?

Can some one give me the latest count please ? On my home PC, MS Excel is not working ( i have to reload it).
 
Using local organization is another good solution

This forum basically targets IT and high paying professionals. There are thousands of people out there who have applied green cards from special skills categories.

I know lot of people from my own country and south Asian region who processed their green cards through Special Skills categories. (ethnic restaurants, auto work shop, small accounting firm, small business)most of them don’t know about this forum and this petition. We could let them know about this petition, if we contact them through their local organization or temples or mosque.

People contact your popular local organizations so that we could reach them. I was able to collect significant numbers of signs.
 
1127 signatures as of 8.30 AM on 9/9/03

When shall we send this petition to Prakash Khatri ? Any thoughts ? I feel that either next monday (if time factor is the basis) or the monday after that (if number of signatures is the basis).

Dear <Zzzzz>,
What the immigrant community does not understand is that U.S. immigration policies and practices don't make any sense to intelligent, or even half-brained people. Of course, anyone with a smiddling of 'common sense' would be completely lost and confused. The delay you speak about, and good luck on the petition itself, is a result of BCIS and the overall 'homeland' security bureaucracy (including the FBI) being 'frozen' by the prospect of swearing in another 'mistake'; it is difficult for BCIS to differentiate and separate the normal processing of immigrant petitions (I deal almost exclusively with I-140/EB1 & 2, and applications, including I-485s, and the security issues involved, i.e., obtaining quick clearances. Today, every alien is a presumed terrorist or engaged in some kind of fraud/misrepresentation these days, including businesses, and those adjudicating cases at the Service Centers are not trained to 'approve' cases, but to look for and find 'denials'. In a bad economy and with terrorists around every corner, it is open season on immigration and that is what you are feeling and seeing. No one seems to understand that it is in our economic 'national interest' to steal the best and brightest who are attracted to our shores. Only Alan Greenspan has gone there, in relation to saving social security. He's thinking labor force. Even he has not made the connection to inherent brainpower and creation of jobs and future industry. To the Demos, the issues are asylum, humanitarian parole and refugees; to the Republicans, the issues are illegal immigration and deporting people. Don't hold your breadth; presently, there is no one in charge! Paul
