Hello everybody,
Please take into account the blackout.
Chat is fine with me. How can we get more people involved? Please comment further on the letter, appendices and my comments posted yesterday.
The main point is that we deserve it, we demand it, here is why and no more lip services!
All,
Are we rushing this a little bit? If not let us have somebody set a deadline for comments and that will be fine. Edison?
With respect to the Appendices, as I mentioned before, we need some professional advice as to how to incorporate them. Maybe is time to start asking the honorable host if he willing to help us at this stage. Let us be prepared to cover the costs. I think we still need more inputs from more applicants if we can get it. Please try to add more items that you feel are left out or represent personal experiences. The corrections are welcome by the way.
With respect to the letter, I would like to make some points that I think need some expansion. Like in a cover letter for a job interview, one highlights the qualifications and why he or she meets the criteria for the job. In at least two areas, namely: 1) who we are and 2) our contribution we are very weak explaining them.
1): who we are: we need to state clearly that we are the Employment based I-485 applicants and briefly mention the process of LC, I-140 and I-485. We can collect a cross array of our job fields and include them. For example, Sciences, Research, Internet, Medical, Engineering, Computers, Bio, Chemistry. This instantly creates a memory image and shows that we are not picking their rotten apples and oranges on demand, nor we jumped any fences to come here.
2): our contribution. We need to expand our contribution to the American economy and its place in the global workplace. We need to state clearly the TAXES we pay and that we are proudly applicants of no unemployment or welfare. We are on the contrary the contributors to these coffers. This way we can show the unfairness and injustice done.
Additional comments: Let us anticipate the simple answer. BCIS is doing all it can and besides you guys have EAD to keep working. In this case, we need to show that the EAD does not solve our problems (see appendices) but actually perpetuates them forever. It does even allow us to reach our full potential and give this nation innumerable more benefits.
Finally, we are doing this as a group. Each member is valuable and can have a contribution to the Petition letter. Based on this, let us add somewhere in the contributions section/paragraph that not only we contribute to the Economy but also to the Homeland and National Security. I can claim this for myself and I believe there may be others with a similar claim. If not, even my presence alone qualifies the statement. In this way we provide them with something unknown and uncover the hypocrisy. This is also important as the BCIS is under DHS and this is the pre-occupation of the Nation, not to mention that all the policies start from there.
Thanks and keep up the good work. We have very few friends around!
