Project "Ocean" : Become a U.S. Citizen by 2008 Election !!

Our Goals

The goal of the Project Ocean is:
1) Every one gets a Green Card as soon as possible (within 180 days) to DONATE
2) Every one gets a U.S. Citizenship as soon as possible (by 2008, or within 5 years from AOS filing) to VOTE.

So, we are not just begging a green card to Congresspersons (and USCIS).
Our relationship with Congresspersons is "GIVE and TAKE", or "WIN and WIN".
 
Our Strategy (again)

(originally posted at VSC forum)

> These priorities will be set at service center level not at congress level.

However, the top management people at the service centers are just employees of government.
They must be stupid and ccwardly.
I believe it's a waste of our valuable resource to try to contact them in ordet to make them improve the process and negotite the priority.

As I posted before:
http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=600250#post600250
our strategy should be:
to attack U.S. Goverment Executive Branch (including USCIS, DHS) by Legislative Branch, Judicial Branch, or Media.

I think we can request a meeting with Congressperson if we have already sent more than three or five petitions to her/him.
For my district (CA 14th), I will send a request to Anna Eshoo tomorrow.

I think Mike Honda's CA 14th District is ready.
Can somebody in CA 14th District request a meeting to Mike Honda ?
I (and maybe many people in Bay Area) can support CA 14th District.

Reminder: Pete Stark (D CA 13th) Town Meetings 10/18/2003 Fremont, ...

I plan to visit Fremont at 8:30am to attend the town hall meeting on this coming Saturday.

1) I'd like at least one person in CA 13th District to attend the town hall meeting
because I live in CA 14th District, and kash777 filed at VSC.
If you want to attend the second or third one,
I may change my schedule.

2) I'd like a couple of more petitions to be faxed to Pete Stark's office.
It's OK from even oustside of CA 13th District.

Re: Our Goals

As the Project Ocean is targetting not only a green card but also a U.S. Citizenship,
for the above two participants, a LPR (lowful permanent resident) is welcome.

Re: Request a meeting with Anna Eshoo

I started contacting one of staff working on immigration policy at Anna Eshoo's Washington DC office.

Hi, Dadagiri,
Yes, I want somebody in CA 15th district to request a meeting with Mike Honda
because I live in CA 14th district and only person in CA 15th district can do that.
But, I think we may not be able to meet Congressman so soon at first.

Howerver, our goal is neither to meet Congressman nor to send a lot of petitions to his office.
but to make Congressperson implement our requests such as
1) amend INA about Naturalization requirement
2) eliminate EB I-485 backlog so that each one can get a green card soon
3) ...

To do that, it is not enough just sending the petition even though it would help for Congressperson to notice our presence.
We need to step forward.
We have to find a person working on immigration policy at Congressional office
and discuss with her (him) about our requests.
I have just started it at CA 14th District.
If we can start it in three or four districts in Bay Area, I believe we have a chance to archieve our goal.
