I agree with Spidey,we might agree/disagree forever on these topics. But I couldn't resist to clarify my take on this.
"don't sleep" means its friendly advice to not to be lazy and take action in any manner you like.
Usually in this kind of initiative where there unknown number of people and where there is meager chance of success, its human psychology to think that "if hundreds of people are sending letter then what difference it will make if I skip it".
So this is just motivative "wake up" call for such members.
For members who have hard time understanding my signature, here is simpler version. Please let me know if you think I need to elaborate it further.
"Please, if not for you than for your community, take action (of whatever means you feel will make difference) so that senators/editors/general public are aware of DOL atrocities. Its good to take action when you are in your 1st or 2nd or 3rd or 4th or 5th or 6th year of your H1 so that you have sufficient time to plan if you have to go back to your beloved home country.
If you don't care about what DOL does and just wait then it might be possible that you are on your 7th year extension, you just bought new house, your kids are starting their school and suddenly USCIS kicks you out.
So I think if I had choice I would try my best to do whatever I can so that my labor gets adjucted in timely manner, get GC and then I will have luxury when if at all I want to go to my HOME"
Since I requested not spend 5 min but it looks you have spent a quite a long period on this and so MY 2 paise
I agree your English is good beyond that all your underlying intentions are realy crap. I dont say that you should not write letters or not bring awareness to people, or not to make Noise, but unless you know reality of how things works at DOL
For me it is matter of pure luck and how fortunate you are and when you filed and from where you filed mattered most. I have lot examples who allready got GC , even with later PD just because they applied from different places.
In yr 2000 few of fortunates got LC in 15 days in CA( can u believe it) without PERM in place. Later 200k amensty people filed in yr 2001 betwen april and aug which made this huge backlog every where atleast in CA and TX
Later when the BEC was opened everywhere sluggish happend and when they transferred RD May 2003 cases onwords we were the most unfortunate since in regular speed at RO we should have got our LC atleast 6 months back. Now we just hear romours that they are still in yr 2001. With So much uncertinities in DOL it mattered only when U filed and from where U filed.
As allready said in earlier posting by other friend you need to make more noise at different levels. when US universities lost large no of students to different countries for visa problems then they realized and now they give first priority for Students when apply for VISA.
I dont understand what you mean by DOL attrocities and also If you buy house are you so ignorent that you dont know what happens when you dont get LC adjudicated. You are making a statement that LC is Birth right for all alliens who came here to work with knowledge of limited period of 6 years Visa period . You must be fortunate that these extensions were now availble which were not there a earlier.
In current sitiuation GC is a lotto for which you dont have to make noise to win it . But that doesnt mean you should not buy/apply for it. If you read New PERM regulations and real ID act it looks they dont need any more alliens to replace there jobs.
Having said that i dont regret to sleep in your foster/surrogated mother land and wakeup in my beloved home country.
If required GP can give you fact and figures for all years how the progress was happenning.
