WANTED TO DRAW EVERYONE'S ATTENTION TO THIS
WASHINGTON � Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will approve a new deal on immigration on Thursday and move to bring the once-dead legislation back to the Senate floor next week, Democratic sources told FOX News.
Details of the immigration compromise remain to be finalized, but top Democratic sources say Reid has closely monitored the behind-the-scenes dickering over policy changes and a finite list of amendments due for consideration. Based on the latest updates on the policy and amendments, Reid will approve the compromise and move late Thursday to put the bill back on the calendar for Senate consideration in the middle of next week.
"He's going to bless it and he's going to get the Senate back in the business of dealing with immigration," said a source in the Democratic Senate leadership.
The principal change to the bipartisan immigration compromise that Reid shelved last week is the addition of $4.4 billion in added border security spending. That money will be added to the base bill to return to the floor. Any other changes to the immigration bill will have to be made through the amendment process.
The base immigration bill seeks to tighten border security, put an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants on a path to permanent residency and create a temporary worker program.
Republican leaders have promised to produce enough votes to curtail debate on the bill and proceed to final passage. Last week's impasse arose after Reid twice failed to collect the 60 votes necessary to limit debate and move toward final passage.
With the GOP votes in hand and a finite list of amendments to be offered by 11 Democratic and 11 Republican senators, Democratic sources said Reid is now determined to see whether the legislation can survive the amendment process intact. If it does, the Senate could vote on final passage of the bill by next Friday, Democratic sources said.
GOP sources tell FOX News that the new bill has enough support from Republicans for Reid to prevail on a procedural vote to get the bill to final passage.
Earlier in the day, President Bush agreed to the plan in hopes of winning over fellow Republicans.
"We're going to show the American people that the promises in this bill will be kept," Bush said in a speech to the Associated Builders and Contractors.
An earlier procedural vote on June 7 failed to get the 60 votes necessary to curtail debate, a defeat Reid said forced him to pull the bill.
That maneuver drastically diminished prospects for comprehensive immigration reform, but a tenacious lobbying effort by top Bush administration officials and the bipartisan architects of the so-called "grand compromise" have kept the bill on life support.
Many hurdles to passing the Senate bill remain. Still, efforts to revive the bill appear to have more momentum than at any time since Reid pulled the bill from the floor. All sides agree if a commitment to passing the bill isn't agreed to this week, the bill is likely to die.
FOX News' Major Garrett and Trish Turner contributed to this report.

Hi Cobra,
Don't lose hope. Your will get your approval.
My wife and I went to India in Jan 2011. We both are on H1 and work for the same employer. My company is a 150+ employee IT firm. We both went separately for our Visa interview to Mumbai Consulate.
When my wife appeared for Visa stamping, she was asked questions about her job, education and company. After her interview, the consular gave her the 221g form that requested all the employer details (tax returns, audit statements etc. ). So when I reached India, I carried the documents for my wife and similar set for myself. She appeared for the interview again and after reviewing the documents the consular approved her visa. Our immigration lawyer mentioned that it might take 2-3 months - but this was quicker than we initially assumed.
When I appeared for the Visa India, I was asked questions about my education and how am I on my 7th year of my H1. Once the consular noticed that I have filed GC and the 7th year extension is due to my I-140 approval, she issued me a 221g form and mentioned that my case is taken in administrative processing. They didn't give any turnaround time for the processing. However, I received email from consulate after 4 days to submit my passport and my visa was approved.
I noticed this has happened with most of the friends I know were visiting India for stamping. And the 221g form is issued to anyone, irrespective of IT or Non IT field, Small or Multi-billion Corporation. A friend of mine who is working in biggest telecom got 221g, another one working for Research Hospital for 221g, then one in a Biotech firm and in Manufacturing firm - all non IT got 221g
It will take it's course and you should get your approval. All the Best !!!

GreenMe

You definitely need to send it even if you get BIOMETERICS
Hello WAIT_FOR_EVER_GC , Please do not confuse or post anything that you have no idea about.
Its is not true. You don't need to send photos for EAD and the instruction clearley says that. For AP you need to send photos even thnough you went for biometric appointment.
If you apply both EAD and AP together then you will still need to go to fingerprint and also send photos for AP.

Exempt from the H-1B cap; not the EB cap. See line 14 on page 2 of H.R. 5630 (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&docid=f:h5630ih.txt.pdf).
Bummer!

Did I mention EB cap in my earlier post? I mentioned CAP which does not conclude that it is EB cap. I went through the bill too.
No offence to anyone. Of all the drama that was going on from Jan 2006 until now, I feel (+ve) that our issues(EB relief) will be taken into consideration only when they come to the topic of making the illegals into legal residents of this country. Any immigration debate in Congress cannot be taken up without considering the Illegal Issue.
We will see and will be surprised to see that an illegal will be granted a status independent of an employer and will also have the travel permit and he/she can live here forever renewing his status.

Hi,
My mom is going for the Tourist Visa to Chennai on 31st Mar, 2008. I am in US presently and my brother could able to arrange for the birth certificate. A big blunder, my mom name is blank in the birth certificate as they have prepared the BC keeping in mind my SSC (10th Certificate which doesn't have mom's name, ofcourse). Whether an affidavit from my mom + the birth certificate without my mom name in it, will solve my problem?
My name as per passport First Name: Afroze Last Name : Mohammed
As per the BC certificate Name: Mohd Afroze ( As per 10th Std spellings), whether it will create any problem?
Please suggest me 31st March is approaching .................
Thanks,
Afroze

Team,
I am in eb3 with priority date jan/2007 and working with EAD and 485 pending.
my sponsered employer willing to promote me with my position and i was having thought of filing a new case in eb2 and port my eb3 priority date. my company has different sister company working in different areas, can I file my eb2 application from other sister company not from the company where my eb3 is filed?
Also I have 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca plus 10 plus years of experience. I wanted to know if you know anybody who filed eb2 with 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca? according to my research i may have trouble at 140 stage?
if my eb2 gets denied, what happens to my eb3 case?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Matt.
I know you won't like my reply but it is tough to get EB2 case approved with 3 years degree. Just what i observed in my circle. But if you feel comfortable doing it go ahead.

My 8th year H1/H4 extension applied @VSC on 10/22/2007. My employer received approval letters on 01/31/2008. As of today my online status still shows as "Case received and pending" (now that's why I call USCIS is a useless system):D
Note: on 01/24 & 01/25 there were LUD's on both H1/H4 cases and nothing changed with online case status
EB2-140 @ TSC still pending.

Interfile means 'amending the existing application'.
When you file a new I-140 application , you may also ask to recapture the old PD from your earlier approved I-140. This is interfiling. The new and old I-140 can be from the same or different employers.
After getting a new I-140 with old(recaptured) PD, you can ask to amend your existing I-1485 application to be upgraded from Eb3 to Eb2.
