Project Kashmir #2 : WAC I485 Case Status
- Thread starter kashmir
- Start date
Re: wac-03-019-xxxxx cases
You can scan WAC-03-019 series by yourself.
If you would send the result to the project, it would be incorporated to the list for regular scan.
Again, Project Kashmir can not respond any request to scan specific date.
Project Kashmir is just summarizing every one's efforts.

Thanks for your interest about Project Kashmir, however ...
> Due to a couple of reasons, I stopped just posting the result of scan.
One of reasons is:
the weekly report of Project Kashmir had been misleading people here in this forum.
We had been seeing 60-80 approvals every week in average.
Many people seem only to try seeing that the CSC is approving some cases, but not to understand that such a number, which is almost ZERO as compared to the huge backlog, does not mean anything.
As a matter of fact, participants of Project Ocean and its campaigns are very few.
We should see (at least) 50 activities every week.
Hi Kashmir:
I totally agree with you. The current pace of processing is not gonna cut it. What you could do is add a note at the end of your report saying "This reports clearly begs the need of some action on our part".
Also, posting the report is going to bring more traffic to the forum which will help drive Project Ocean and others..
just my 2 cents

Thanks for your advice, however, I came to know that it does not work at all.
Honestly speaking, I wanted to believe that more people would participate in taking an action for *OUR* petition,
but I have decided to believe those who is actually taking an action for our petition goals.

I know everything and I never forget your cooperation.
But the Project Ocean is not one-time fax campaign.
We have to continue our activities until we would achieve our goal.
For instance, I believe at least ten people should fax to Subcommittee on Immigration.

I used to check Project Kashmir sometimes, but I'm from VSC so I used to follow VSC case status co-ordinated by Sbctsublc also. Lately I stopped looking into these reports since we don't see many approvals and if they continue at this pace most of us have to wait for 8 to 10 years to get GC.
I think everyone has to act immediately and join all the campaigns started here to address backlog and naturalization issue. It's our problem.
Most of the immigration laws are passed in election year, just look back into American History, you'll understand. AC21 lobby had group of people like us, I don't think anyof us might be here if not for AC21 since it theoretically removed per country limit for GC.
I was quite surprised at the support in this forum for Project Ocean. Whining in this forum won't resolve our problems. Just remember we have to fight for our own problems, no one will fight for us. I think we all should learn lesson from illegal immigrants unity to fight for their cause. There is nothing called free ride.

Hey Kashmir:
I think you are getting a little emotional about the whole issue.
Whether you post the reports or not, its your choice. It was a nice gesture on your part to do that. What I said was just an opinion and a humble request.
I think its important for you to understand that not everybody is as politically savvy as you are. Its not as easy to mobilize so many people as you think. What you have started is a good leadership but it will take time for it to gain momentum. Its been little over a month you started the campaign and you expect all the people to make the efforts like you are some other guys.
That is a little too optimistic. If I were you I would not get so touchy about this.
Saying that only people who fax petitions are going to see the report is not a good way to lead people.

Hi, vg0405,
I'd appreciate your advice.
I think you're right, however ...
First of all, I don't intend to become a leader.
I am just one of EB I-485 applicants suffering from the current huge backlog at the CSC like you guys.
Frankly speaking, I started the Project Ocean for myself at the beginning,
but later, I asked to people in this forum to participate in activities such as faxing the petition to Congressional offices
because, once one of the petition's goals would be achieved, it would benefit not only me but also all EB I-485 applicants.
Of course, I understand it is very difficult.
But I believe it is worth to try.
Even if it would fail, we have nothing to lose
because most of us have to give up our green cards if this slow pace would continue.
For the Project Kashmir, the report is not worth for me to take a couple of hours every weekend now.
For the last seven months, the CSC has approved only about 350 cases per month, and this number is quite stable.
With this slow pace, the processing date would proceed one month once every 6-8 months.
When the Project Kashmir was started in April, it was 11/16/2001, and nothing has changed since that time.
Even if we would lose the Project Kashmir, nothing would change.
This is another reason why I have moved my focus to the Project Ocean.
Anyway, I have already decided.
My goal is to achieve one of the petition requests within a year,
and again, once it would be achieved, it would benefit everyone in this forum.
