Hello Everyone,

I was very sad after I heard that things are not in our favor. It is very unfortunate that we in the immigration community are not getting what we deserve. We are immigrants that does not mean that we take what we get. The war is not over. We have lost one bill. Although it is big loss for us, I don't think that we have lost the battle. Everyone please note that things are slowly cooking in Washington for the comprehensive immigration reforms.

We did our efforts, however; the fact is that all the efforts were made at very last moment at each and every stage. We need a efforts to be made from day one and from all of them.

Here is the game plan for February when Senate return and takes comprehensive immigration reforms.

1. (January 4 2006 to January 15 2006) Format a letter detailing the pain that legal immigrants have to face because of retrogression. (We al ready have that ready since few people were working on that)
2. (January 10 2006 to January 15 2006) Start sending those letters to the media. (Idea is to increase the awareness)
3. (January 15, 2006 to January 29 2006) Meet each of the congressman and congresswomen in your area and request them to solve the retrogression problem. Currently they will be available since they are enjoying the vacation.
4. (From January 20th ) Start sending letters to the senators and House of representatives asking them to support.
5. Get in touch with Arlen Spector and ask him to reintroduce the same thing that he did in S1932 again in the compreensive immigration bill introduce by Ed Kennedy, John.

The comprehensive immigration bill is the last bill that will save our ship. After that there are no other bill that are pending and also people in washington will get busy with election.

Try to get the help of our desi community leaders who are naturalized citizens, have voting rights and donate a lot of money to these politicians.
 
Do not support S.1438

S.1438 does not increase any visa numbers, infact it reduces EB1 and EB2 visa numbers from current limit. DO NOT SUPPORT IT IN PRESENT FORM.

S.1033 (Secured america orderly immigration act) will increase EB visa numbers and reduces the backogs(recature). Please go thro the very good comparision table by both OH law frim and AILA.

Can you post the link to the table ?
 
anyone considered polling $$$ (whoever willing to contribute) and hire professional lobbyist? (not sure if there's such a term). But I have heard that some unions hire lobbyist as they have more leverage?

I don't konw much about it, just an idea.
