Nebraska Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson told the Omaha World Herald newspaper that there has been talk that House and Senate negotiators will not even meet to work out their differences, which would doom passage of immigration legislation before the November mid-term elections.
Bush has stressed both sides must be willing to compromise. As an example, he said Congress should decide whether to reduce the number of "green cards" issued to permanent legal residents if there are too many immigrants.
Bush lost a debate last year to overhaul the Social Security benefits system, despite traveling the country holding campaign-like rallies. His efforts in the immigration debate are beginning to look like a similar national campaign with stops in Texas and New Mexico on Tuesday.
Trying to nudge immigrants into learning English and assimilating into U.S. culture, Bush dropped in on a U.S. history and civics class for immigrants at the Catholic Charities Juan Diego Center.
Getting into the spirit of the class, he asked students which presidents had sons follow them into the White House, then answered in Spanish.
He and his father, Bush said, and John Adams and his son, "Juan Q." Adams.

I think CITIZENShip years Credit or Reduction in the years is Make most sense for the highly skilled immigrant from India and China as those are the people who suffers most because of backlog and name check.
I also think we should stick to the "five year federal taxes paid" beacuse that is what they expect from normal family based GC holder. Also adding Masters and Higher degrees in the STEM fields attract possible more support.
We should not talk any where close to 10 /15 years waiting time as that is not what current system of citizesnship talks about.
Also marriage based GC already has 3 years after GC rule so it may beeasy to get it.
Making it more complicated like Percent credit for before GC filing, after GC filing, after getting GC May become hard and complicated to convenince politicains who might be amending those rules.
So Keeping it simple - 5 yr federal taxes, MS or higher in STEM, 3 years after GC - you get citizenship (all of these has precedents)
Just today, the May 2008 visa bulletin is out and lot of discussions are going on in various threads in this Forum. As per the movement of the dates, it is in a snail phase and considering that, we should include the citizenship issue also so that the total years for all these processess can be reduced significantly.

Nope. Only taking the applications and entering them into the system.
Approvals will anyway be in the order of PDs.
What is? Working on the July submitted apps ahead of the ones already in the queue?

We have an interview opportunity with a national TV channel. If you/anyone you know is interested, please contact Immigration voice.
could we talk about this rather than keeping on talking about Mr eastindia?
I would but I am not sure my story is the most compelling since EB3 ROW is by far not as bad off as EB3I or EB3C.
Whoever goes would have to leave anger at home though, I dont think anger will help us get through to people, emotion yes though?
Maybe we can figure out whos story would make the biggest impact and who is good at speaking, some might not feel comfortable doing thsi?
Thanks Pappu!

This thread is already making everyone nervous. The updates in immigration-law and also from many other attorneys might be based on the updates they get from AILA email alerts/updates. There is also a link in aila.org with title “Update on Rejection of June “Other Worker” Adjustment Applications and What This Means for July” I do not have access to review the entire article. Also EW category PD is at OCT 2001 for June and not sure if there were so many cases with that early PD and those petition was not accepted due to unavailability of the visa numbers. But this incident is reported in multiple sites and this made everyone nervous that the same might happen with all the EB applications now.
Also not that all applications will be filed on first day/week of July, even though most of us get the papers to attorney’s by now, I think they will file only a limited number of applications everyday. Some big law firms have already instructed the clients to not to send the documents until specifically requested by the attorney assigned for the individual cases and the email states around mid July time frame to process the application.
There might be a fair chance the available visa numbers are consumed in early July or within July , Since making the VB Dates current for all categories makes me believe they would most likely accept the petitions for entire July in spite of the visa number availability until July end at least. Making VB all dates current for all categories in spite knowing the Backlog elimination center cleared a large number of LCA and with the number of PERM approvals available, and retrogression since couple of years, USCIS/ DOS / etc. will not be surprised with the number of petitions they will receive. So at least for July we can hope to be safe. We cannot change anything with regards to this and have to deal with this.

We have been advised not to send webfaxes at this time. Things are moving very fast and we are doing this real time as things process with the bills. So at this time phone calls would be the best medium to make our voices heard.

Some porter gave me red on this post.
You will understand later my brother. After you get the GC when you look back. You will say to yourself "Wow, I was being so small and petty minded: I was bashing up real people for a piece of plastic". That is the time we can meet and be friends
Value of a "person" will be known when he is gone. But the worthlessness of material thing gets realized when it actually comes. Character of a person is truly tested during trying times. May you reminisce about it later and wonder why didn't you do better
Good luck. And BTW I was not the guy who gave you red.
About this message: It's not just for MC, but many,many more of you. Is it really important that you won the race in life, more than how people remember you? I am not "targeting" anyone in particular, just indulging myself with some philosophy. Peace.

I respect bitzbytz's view. IMHO, Pappu's post shows too much arrogance in IV.
Btw, I have donated $100 towards advocacy.
Shows arrogance or frustration? Flip side of the same coin!
IV really needs people from KY, KS, TN, UT, AL, CO, AR - please help convince a friend or family from these states. Thanks.

Movement on immigration stalled
Thursday, June 15, 2006, 10:56 AM
by Jason Vance
House Speaker Dennis Hastert is backing away from statements made earlier this week suggesting a plan to hold hearings on the Senate�s version of the immigration reform bill.
According to Congressional Quarterly, Hastert says he'll look at that issue, but the first priority is spreading the leadership's message about the Iraq war. Hastert has said he wants to take a long look at the Senate's legislation before naming House conferees.
There are some big differences the conference committee will have to reconcile. The Senate's bill provides a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already in the country, and includes a guest-worker program. Neither is included in the House version, which focuses on tightening border security.

Immuser,
<Quote>The "quality of life" in a 4 bedroom house with back yard is greater than that in a small 650 sq ft single bedroom apt </Quote>
How long can you stay in the 4bed room if you cannot pay mortgage? or do you want to invest in a property which is sinking? My questions are not applicable if you have stable income & you are not expecting to relocate for couple of years.
