Subject: [techworkers] United we stand, Divided we fall ... Please mail the HUB letters "NOW"
As most of you must be aware, that with the OCT Visa bulletin our
immigration problems have multiplied overnight! The priority dates
have rolled back so much that we would have to wait for another 5 to
8 years just to file our I-485 even after getting our labor approved!
Furthermore, all the EB categories are affected (EB1,EB2,EB3)
We, at the "Techworkers" group (2600 head-count) are organizing a HUB
Plan starting today onwards. The gist of the plan is as follows: We
have volunteers for each state (Hub Volunteers). People of every
state will mail petitions to their respective HUB Volunteer. The
petitions can be found in the "HUB PLAN" folder in the File section.
After the HUB deadline is over (approx 2 weeks from now), the HUB
Volunteers will collect all the petitions, group them up and will
send them to the senators of their states, and other important
people, such as, AILA, Industry leaders, Media etc. in packets.
The main idea is to create an IMPACT. Its time to remember the
proverb we learnt when we were kids .. "United we stand, Divided we
fall"! If all of us mail out these HUB petitions to the HUB
Volunteers, this plan could turn out to be a major success! All we
need to do is grab those letters, add your name, print & sign them
and mail them out to your HUB Volunteer. There are 4 letters that
each one of you would need to send. The HUB FAQ has the details. It
really shouldnt take long. Please participate in this plan! We have a
lot of volunteers who are taking pains to organize this whole thing,
however all this effort will be fruitless without the participation
of each one of you out there! People have already started mailing out
the HUB petitions!!
Please send out those letters even if you have yet to apply for your
GC, or if you are waiting for your labor approval, or ofcourse if you
have your labor approved but are waiting to file your I485!
