Lawsuit has been filed

Strong work!! Many thanks to Rajiv Khanna and other leaders of the immigration portal.
Best wishes.
 
We must do our bit

We should do our bit. Most of us visit this page - including myself, but do not do much. I believe (for myself), better late than never. I see Rajiv Khanna as the leader of this movement. I would like to contribute.

If this is a class action law suite, let us be true members and contribute in:

1. Cash - $100 per member should not hurt anyone.
2. Time - Can we write to newspapers about this?
3. Kind - if evidence is required can we show up to describe our agony?
4. Awareness. Can we ask all the people we know that are suffering and communicate to them about this? A good way to start is to do a little by calling friends and colleagues and showing them this movement.

I could not resist and called up Rajiv to thank and congratulate him. This is indeed true leadership. The man rocks!!!

Sincerely,
Smisra
 
I'll try to get the San Diego Union Tribune report on that.. Outstanding job!!!

Hold off on the money, Rajiv has set up a non-profit organization immigrationportal.com, we are trying to ask Sharmaji his accountant to take responsibility of maintaining the fund.

Once the basics are set up, we will also have some sort of fund raising goal as well as more details on where and how to send money. Stay tuned.

Ackerman Elise Software and business e-commerce reporter (408) 271-3774
email ids are listed on the aforementioned link

Should we try sending more mails to them?
 
Contacting too many reporters in same newspaper may not be good. Lets wait for Julie Patel.

In the mean time lets contact SF Chronicle, Examiner.... we may also send it to CNN....
 
Hold up you guys!

Can we wait for Rajiv to give us the go ahead to contact the media?

We don't want to attract too much publicity from the wrong
people. We should be publisizing it only between people who count, like Congressman, other immigration communities etc. Mass publicity will attract too much attention from our opposition for this cause.

The core team has already contact Rajiv for more clear cut directions. And as soon as he gives it let us follow up.
 
Contra Costa Times

2 weeks I requested Contra Costa Times (same Mercury News editor) to publish an article about "us" and the lead time for I-485 approval.
So far no answer.
I might be luckier with the lawsuit news.
keep you posted.
