Conservatives block immigration conference (June 8, 2006)-
By Jonathan Allen
Senate conservatives have emerged as the chief obstacle to an immigration conference committee, but the bill�s backers insist they will be able to get around the hard-liners.
GOP leaders need the assent of the conservatives to circumvent a parliamentary hurdle arising from the bill�s inclusion of tax provisions, which, according to the Constitution, must originate in the House. Conservatives have yet to sign off.
�I�m not anxious to move it to conference,� Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), chairman of the conservative Republican Steering Committee, said yesterday. �The more we study the final product, the more convinced I am that it is seriously flawed.�
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said that he would think about being helpful to the leadership but that he�d �consider trying to block it, too.�
The Senate passed its version of immigration legislation last month. The bill would bolster border security, create a �path to citizenship� for illegal aliens currently in the country and establish a guest-worker program.
Many on the right would prefer a version more like the House bill, which focuses solely on strengthening border security.
A thicket of procedural snags has prevented the appointment of conference negotiators to this point.
If the Senate bill is sent to the House, it would be subject to a �blue slip� � a vote of the House to reject it because it violates the Constitution�s �origination� clause on tax matters. The easiest way around a blue slip is for the Senate to take up a House-passed tax bill, strip out the existing provisions, insert the immigration bill into its shell and pass it.
But Republican leaders have been unable to win unanimous consent to execute the maneuver, and such a complex series of moves would give opponents several filibuster opportunities. While cautiously covering their flanks, Republican and Democratic leaders are working to get the bill to conference.
The bill�s supporters say that if they can make significant progress on a deal they will be able to overcome their opposition.
�I think we�re making progress,� Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) said yesterday. �We�re not there yet.�
Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), a harsh critic of the Senate bill, said yesterday that he will not block efforts to move to conference.
�I want a bill,� Ensign said.
�You�ve got to have a conference,� said Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). �If it comes out close to this [Senate bill], we�ll do everything to kill it.�

2) Remove the country limit
3) Capture the unused Visa
Can you give me some reasons why visas are unused and a percentage.
In other words, why would someone go through all the paperwork and then not get the visa?

Will go for infopass on 28th Aug and will carry the USCIS memo dated June 12th 2008 with me.I will insist them to give me their reply in writing (as a letter), I plan to talk with their superior if they do not provide in writing.
So frustrated with this mess.

Hey, I am still left with 5 more days for my 90 day period. Would you suggest me to go ahead and take the Info pass?? Am not sure, does the info pass schedule has a waiting period too?

SIMULTANEOUSLY you can't have both. Either AOS or CP. Once can covert one from another but it introduces enormous delay. AOS-to-CP atleast 1 year more delay and for CP-to-AOS at least 3 to 6 months delay.
Thanks for the update! How about having two cases; a second LC under EB2. In that case can both prevail together (and EB2 and EB3)?

Chaya, We are going back to India on personal choice. My manager here knows very clearly that I cannot take up promotions and the HR does not want to do eb3-->eb2 conversion. So, I took up this crap for a while, and decided to put an end to this misery once and for all. And fortunately the same company is offering me a job in India at a good designation with good compensation. Also, we were missing out (esp my kids) were missing out lot of things happening in India, which they want to be a part of. Original idea was to stay in US for 10 years and go, only difference is now, we did spend that 10 years but still dont have our GC. Another important thing that we considered was , it becomes more difficult to take this decision when we have GC in hand because, as much as it helps to stay in US, it avoids us from leaving US too, and to wait for citizenship is another 5 years from that point, which could all take easily 6 years to the minimum from today. Thats why we wanted to make it easy on us, and do this now.
Looking back, would I re-do this GC process one more time - no, but am I happy to be a part of IV - you bet I am. Thats the bottom line.
Looking back, labor certification was the problem for lot of EB3 folks even though they were current at I485 stage. There was so much backlog (5 years or more) in certain states. While certain states could get the labor approved in a couple of months. People with older PD than yours could get greencards before Sept 2005. Smart guys changed their jobs and went to states where labor was quick. There was lack of awareness and easy availability of information as we have on IV now. Even now fortunate folks are changing jobs and filing under EB2 to significantly shorten their wait times. The whole Green card wait is a career killer for many and that is sad.
Between 2001- 2005 nobody did anything about the labor backlogs. The community was only anonymously browsing forums. There was lack of initiative and courage among the community. All people could do was look upto attorney or HR to do a miracle for them. I wish those folks between 2001-2005 did something like forming IV then. After IV was formed in Dec 2005 we focused our attention on Labor department to clear backlogs. Remember Backlog elimination centers? Folks today are just very fortunate that they can get Labor approved in a few months. I do not see the same amount of pain and desperation in the new people as I have seen in old timers. Many new filers still think that if their labor could come in few months, I1140 could come in another few months, their I485 should be coming in the mail very soon. It is only when they lose job, or their employer revokes their I140, or face problems in the process they start worrying about Greenecard, read more about what backlogs are and want to play an active part in IV.

Well, if there were preadjudicated cases, which is very very likely, getting ready for September approvals, with VB published weeks ago, should be very routine and simple task. It is quite possible that a lot of approvals should be coming out withint the first few days in September. Best wishes to all waiting, particularly to those wth senior PD's left out last year.
