Why should I participate in the HUB Plan?
The main motive of this plan is to bring forth a group
effort. A couple of mailed petitions would probably
fail to create an impact on a senator. But when he
receives a whole package of say 50 signed petitions,
it would definitely create an impact on him. That is
one aspect of the plan. Another aspect is that as an
individual I may feel a little uncomfortable mailing
the senator, but if there are 50 other people with me,
I feel much more comfortable.
Besides, note that these are only request-letters, not
even petitions. They do not ask for any unnecessary
details, that you would feel uncomfortable to
disclose, such as your employer’s name etc. Also these
are written keeping all of the people in mind who are
/will be affected by the retrogression (1) EB1, EB2,
EB3 (2) people with cases in BEC & PERM. (3) And also,
people who have yet to file their labor
certifications.
What would I need to do?
• Typically, there would be one HUB Volunteer per
state.
• Please refer the Hub details spreadsheet at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/techworkers/files >>
“The HUB PLAN” folder >> HUB-DETAILS.xsl You would
need to do the following:
• (1) Pick your state from the list (2) Note down the
postal address of your HUB volunteer & the names of
the senators (2 senators per state). Every state will
have an entry such as:
STATE HUB VOLUNTEER MAIL ADDRESS SENATOR # 1 SENATOR #
2
ALABAMA TRUDY 1189 Trudy Lane
Mobile, AL 98988 Chris Jones Tom Hanks
• NOTE: If you don’t find your state in this list, it
means that nobody has come forward as the HUB
volunteer for your state! If you wish, you could step
in as the HUB volunteer. To do that you would just
have to mail me your postal address at
ritarege@yahoo.com and I will add your address and the
2 senators for your state (I can find that for you) to
this list.
• If you find your state in the list: All you need to
do is take print outs of the letters in the “HUB PLAN”
folder, sign them and post them to your HUB
volunteer’s postal address. The details on how to fill
these letters are as follows. I have tried to make
them as simple and as generic as possible. However,
you are free to add/ delete/ edit the contents.
Letter # 1A or 1B: (2 copies) – one for Senator # 1 &
one for Senator # 2:
Depending on whether you have already filed your labor
certification or not I have come up with 2 petitions
“1A_Petition_GC_Filed.doc” or
“1B_Petition_GC_Not_Yet_Filed.doc” Select the one that
suits you, fill in the highlighted part (refer the hub
details for senators name), sign & print. Print 2
copies, one for each senator (don’t forget to change
the Senator Name)
Letter # 2: (1 copy) – for AILA:
Print & Sign this after filling in the highlighted
part.
Letter # 3: (1 copy) for Industrial Leaders, such as,
Bill Gates etc:
Print & Sign this after filling in the highlighted
part.
• So you now have 4 printouts that you would post to
your HUB Volunteer. That is all you have to do as a
Techworker!
Please send this to all who are waiting for green
cards.
