Great news! The Hatch widows bill (which removes the requirement that a couple must have been married for two years before a US citizen dies) passed and included in that bill were provisions extending the religious worker green card program and the Conrad 30 J-1 physician waiver program. Each of these programs were extended for three years. The EB-5 regional center program for immigrant investors was permanently reauthorized by the Senate yesterday. The House must agree to these amendments before they go to the President and I do not yet know whether the bill will go back to the House...

Breakdown in Relations in the Senate Hobbles Its Ability to Get Things Done (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/20/washington/20cong.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) By CARL HULSE (http://www.nytimes.com/gst/emailus.html) New York Times, July 20, 2007
WASHINGTON, July 19 � Arlen Specter is a senior United States senator who expects to be allowed his say on the Senate floor. So he bristled when Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader, brusquely cut him off at the end of the Iraq debate.
�The leadership is setting a dictatorial tone,� Mr. Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, said Thursday, still furious over his treatment the day before. �Senators didn�t get here to be pushed around.�
It may seem small-minded to bicker over a few words at the end of a 24-hour debate. But the clash between the two veteran senators is evidence of a larger breakdown in relations in the Senate, a deterioration in cooperation that is hobbling the Senate�s ability to get things done. The situation is not likely to improve with a presidential election on the horizon.
As the cots were rolled away and lawmakers left for a decent night�s rest after the around-the-clock debate that ended � like others this year � in stalemate, lawmakers of both parties said they had rarely seen the tone so poisonous and the willingness to work together on the floor at such a low ebb.
�The last vestiges of courtesy seem to be going out the window,� said Senator Trent Lott, the Mississippi Republican who has served as majority and minority leader. �Every time I think the Senate � Republican or Democrat � has gone to a point where you can�t go any lower, we go lower.�
It is hardly startling that members of the two parties do not see eye to eye. And the spirit of bipartisanship in the Senate always rises and falls depending on the subject and the election calendar. But seven months into the new Democratic regime, the environment seems unusually hostile. Occasionally, senators do, too, as exhibited in a Sunday television exchange between Senators Jim Webb, Democrat of Virginia, and Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, that looked for a moment as if it might turn physical as the two men argued about the war in Iraq.
The angry attacks nearly spiraled out of control Thursday night as the two parties lobbed political bombs at each other during the windup of work on an otherwise popular higher education measure.
After Republicans brought forward proposals intended to embarrass Democrats on terror detainees and union elections, Democrats countered with a resolution urging President Bush not to pardon I. Lewis Libby Jr., a former top White House aide. Republicans struck back with a resolution deploring the pardons issued by President Bill Clinton.
The floor descended into chaos as members of the two parties glowered at one another across the aisle. Evidently recognizing they had gone too far, party leaders pulled back and agreed to try to finish the education bill as Democrats struck their Libby proposal from the record.
Hard feelings have consequences. Without agreements between the leaders of the opposing parties, the Senate has been plunged into a procedural knife fight, with Democrats forced to scramble to find 60 votes not just on contentious issues like an Iraq withdrawal plan, but on once-routine matters like motions to proceed to a spending bill.
The feuding has spilled into subjects that would seem to hold the potential for common ground, like antiterror legislation and lobbying reform, and will doubtless tie up other measures to come.
Democrats contend that Republicans have embarked on a strategy of delay, using Senate rules to chew up scarce legislative time and deny Democrats any accomplishments. Republicans complain that Democrats are trying to jam through objectionable bills and are mainly interested in building a political case for 2008. The relationship between Mr. Reid and his Republican counterpart, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has cooled after it was initially thought the two Senate tacticians would be able to do business.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat who has been in the Senate for more than four decades, said he was not sure bipartisanship was at an all-time low, but acknowledged things were tense.
�The fact the Senate is so evenly divided makes big causes out of smaller events,� Mr. Kennedy said.
Besides the narrow 51-49 majority Democrats enjoy, lawmakers and others attribute what senators deplore as a lack of comity to various reasons, including the emotions surrounding the Iraq war debate, a Republican payback for Democratic stalling in recent years and pure political maneuvering in a hot-house environment.
Mr. Reid on Thursday blamed Republican ideology, saying the Senate�s conservative contingent was unwilling to swallow legislation sought by most Americans.
�Republicans in the Senate do not represent mainstream Republicans around the country,� he said.
Members of both houses have been contending for years that the sort of personal interaction that can lead lawmakers to overcome partisan differences has been on the decline, leaving Congress polarized.
But Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Specter and others say they find that committee leaders still tend to be able to work together. And a bipartisan group of senior lawmakers put together the Senate�s immigration proposal, though it went down in flames to the broader political divide in Congress.
Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee who has been in the heat of the battle over the Iraq legislation, said he did not believe feelings were frayed beyond repair.
�The Senate is a unique place where wills are tested, and this was a very important issue that people have very strong feelings on,� he said, referring to the Iraq debate. �Instead of fighting over it physically, there are battles that are fought on the floor of the Senate. But these are important disagreements and they should be aired.
�Isn�t that what we are here for?�

Hi
I have a question regarding my spouse who is on H4 visa.she has real experience in India for 5 years. One of the company who does some projects did H1b processing through "CONSULAR PROCESSING". Her H1B is approved now.
1) Employer is saying she has to go out of the country to get the visa in order to work.
2) Apply for change of Status while staying in USA. Employer saying that there are chances of getting an RFE during that process. Is there any Premium process in Change of Status processing.
which one is advisable?
Can any one please suggest.
Thanks

Have you ever been refused access to the room where your client was being interviewed by USCIS? Have you ever been told that you are not allowed to speak while ICE questioned your client? Has CBP ever refused to allow your client to call you during a complicated secondary inspection?

Hello,
I am currently on L1 individual extension in US.
I will be traveling to India shortly for 2 week vacation. I will be attending the visa interview for stamping at Chennai before my return to US.
Can someone tell me/share what are the chances of visa getting stamped? What kind of questions to expect?
I hope that since i am already on extension in US, visa stamping is just a formality at US embassy?
Please let me know ASAP.
Thanks.

Hi everybody,
I am in pretty awkward situation. i have got my H1b Stamped in august 2008. Did not go to US because of the bad market situation and opted for woking in India. Now my current indian comapny wants me to travel to US on business visa( i have got B1 stamped in 2004 for 10 years) for 1-2 weeks.
Now i want to know , if i have both the visa stamped( H1b & B1), can i travel to US on business visa without affetcing my H1B visa because i am planning to go US whenever i hear that market is improving.

Hi,
My wife and I both have EAD and AP. My wife is derivative on my 485 application. I am using H1b for employment though, while my wife is using EAD for employment.
We are planning to travel to India. I am going to continue to use my H1 b as I am going for visa stamping on my trip to India. My wife will be using AP for reentry.
Questions:
1) Do you see any complications while reentering in this scenario either for me or for my wife since I will be using H1 visa and she will be using AP.
2) Does she need to carry her employment verification letter since she is derivative of my application? Can the IO at poe entry ask for her employment? What should she be saying her purpose of visit or any such questions? Would it be ok to mention 'pending AOS' as the status.
Thanks

E. APPLICABILITY OF INA SECTION 202(a)(5)(A)AS IT RELATES TO THE ALLOCATION OF “OTHERWISE UNUSED” NUMBERS
INA Section 202(a)(5)(A), added by the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act (AC21), provides that if total demand will be insufficient to use all available numbers in a particular Employment preference category in a calendar quarter then the otherwise unused numbers may be made available without regard to the annual per-country limits. This provision helps to assure that all available Employment preference numbers may be used. In recent years, the application of Section 202(a)(5)(A) has occasionally allowed oversubscribed countries such as China-mainland born and India to utilize large quantities of Employment First and Second preference numbers that would have otherwise gone unused.
If spill over has to happen every quarter as per the detail in above statement, why USCIS is not doing quarterly spill over, it looks like they are still doing annual spill over in to EB2 I and C. My question is am I interpreting the law correctly.Thanks for your help.

Guys,
I remember I have seen this in some thread but I can't find it now. So I am repeating question here:
My receipt number starts with EAC. In order to check processing times, which service center I should be looking at?

yes, you can add her anytime before the approval of your I485 (3rd stage of the GC process). You havent mentioned EB1/2/3 but if its EB2 or EB3, stage 3 is several years away for you, and you can always add her before you apply for the final stage. Good luck!

My uncle just received his L1 extension receipt. Lawyer was late in filing the L1 extension, but supposedly got everything ready and mailed it 2 days before the L1 expiration date.
However, my uncle received recepit for L1 extension, and received date is 2 weeks after the expiration of original L1. Please note I am talking about RECEIVED DATE (not Notice date or receipt date).
Does this mean extension will automatically get rejected based on late filing? Is there any recourse to this?
More importantly, Is my uncle Out of Status now? (He doesn't have anything else going besides L1)
Please let me know as soon as possible.

New I 140 possible in case of appeal pending on old I 140 rejection
I'VE A QUESTION REGARDING I-140 case on appeal. The original approved PERM labor certification is in that case. In order to file new I140 Whether, I need to ask USCIS to withdraw that case and use my approved labor certification for this new I-140. But I am not sure how to accomplish that. Let me know if you have any helpful info.
thanks in advance
