Everyone

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is very little chance of anything happening between now and Monday morning.

These are the kind of decisions that usually dont take place on the weekend.

We have been in touch since wednesday with people who are CAUSING and PUSHING the fix for USCIS to get out of the mess gracefully. We havent heard from them since this morning, and we were told even yesterday(thursday) that its likely that the decision may not come on Friday and it could be monday.

Also, please keep in mind that we are working very hard to do something that would alleviate our problem due to the revised bulletin. But you have to understand that it is not in IV's hands to rush this decision.

IV can influence to a certain extent, provide ideas and suggestions and push those ideas and suggestions but the decision makers are not going to respond to anyone's impatience and rush for us. Their priority is to get the fix without creating new problems and with minimum PR disasters.

Also, what we are saying on this website is what we know and what we can divulge. If we know something before the fix is publicly announced, we will announce it here right away.

Please bring yourself to ACT on this situation rather than just WITNESSING the events and if you are near San Jose, attend tommorow's rally. See the homepage for details.

And if you dont live near San Jose, then you should write emails to various reporters listed on this thread about San Jose Rally. THE MEDIA COVERAGE OVER THE WEEKEND will cause more pressure on USCIS to fix the mess rather than keep ignoring it. So to a small extent, it is indeed in your hands to increase the pressure.

Write a short email of your story (NOT anonymously. Include your name, phone etc), of July bulletin fiasco and the San Jose rally to reporters listed on this thread.

Good night.

You can use this covering letter if interested and attach the pdf file about press release.

Dear Sir,
Good afternoon. Let me introduce myself to you as
XXXXXXXXXXX, a senior member of Immigration
Voice. We talked for a while when you were writing a
story on immigration.
You might be aware that the most recent happening
in the immigrant community is the "Bait and switch"
tactic used by USICS which has created a lot of chaos
for at least 500K skilled immigrants on the path to
Green Card where the agency USCIS shut down its doors
on the face of immigrants though we were told we are
eligible to apply.
Immigration Voice has been active in media
campaign regarding this issue and we are doing a lot
of campaigns.
Legal highly skilled workers are participating in
a peace rally at San Jose, CA tomorrow. I am attaching
the press release. I sincerely urge you to please cover this event.
If you need any further information please contact
Gopal Chauhan at gsc999@gmail.com
or 650-576-8759 for any questions..
Best regards,
XXXXXXXXX

Just got back from the rally, i would say it was a big success. Media coverage on the issue was fantastic. I saw the ABC7 news truck. There were many reporters from SJ Mercury news, SF Chronicle etc. Crowd was good, dont want to speculate on numbers yet but we should have an official word soon.

Police were very friendly. The crowd was very enthusiastic and also obeyed the rules. All of us stayed on side walks. Logiclife and Frankilin among others were there. Many reporters spread out and spoke to people.

Lot of members from another groups called Immigration Rights also joined us.

We got lot of honks. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Great JOB IV and everyone.
