Veto Signals Start of a Risky Political Game (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/23/AR2007062300051.html) By Jeffrey H. Birnbaum, June 24, 2007
George W. Bush has been the most accommodating of presidents. He has rarely used his veto pen to kill legislation. Until now.
Last week, Bush vetoed a bill that would have expanded federally funded embryonic stem-cell research. He said scientific advances allow researchers to pursue lifesaving work without destroying human embryos. It was his third veto ever.
But there will soon be more. Lots more, and almost every one of them will have an impact on the markets and business growth.
Bush has attacked the opposition party for "excessive spending" and has vowed to veto many of Congress's 12 appropriations bills, which are on track to exceed his wishes by $23 billion in the next fiscal year.
In response, some Democrats have said they can play that game, too. A faction thinks the last thing they should do is let pass almost any legislative initiative Bush and his party can claim credit for, including the immigration and energy bills Congress is working on.
These confrontations are shortsighted no matter who's to blame. A budget impasse would depress markets and weaken the dollar. Failure of the immigration bill would threaten businesses that hire illegal immigrants with increased sanctions or compel them to hire fewer people, either of which would lead to higher prices. And energy shortages could easily become chronic unless more is done to reduce our reliance on high-price oil.
Shallow political finger-pointing is not an adequate response.

IV Members,
I am not able to figure out if this new Merit Based System (if implemented is good or bad for us)
If the guys who already have made some progress using the existing system are asked to re-apply under this new merit based system, it is going to be bad for them, because they have to go through the entire process again.
What about people like me, who are new commers to US ?
If I apply under the new merit based systems, am I automatically subjected to backlog, because people who applied for GC under the previous system have not yet gotten their GCs, or this new merit based system will have its own quote ?
Can anyone explain ?

Hi,
I am a Indian. I got the L1 VISA on Mar-2008 and it is valid till Mar-2011. I have been to US with this VISA for 8 months during 2008. After returning from US, i have lost my I-129 and I-797 forms. I have the chance to goto US with same VISA but i donot have I-129 and I-797 forms.
Please let me know is it possible to get the papers back? I have enquired with my employer and they are saying that, it is very difficult to get the papers for the VISA which was issued 2 years back. Even, I donot have copies of I-129 and I-797.
Please advise me on this issue.

Very intriguing. Here's the lowdown from HuffPostHill: Luis Gutierrez, Nydia Velazquez and Bob Menendez will meet with the president tomorrow at 2:30 to talk immigration reform. Gutierrez says he'll push Obama to use his muscle to get the DREAM Act through Congress. If Rahm Emanuel shows up, two potential Chicago mayoral candidates will be in the room together. Gutierrez, who said today that a run is "tempting," said he'd have a hard time supporting Emanuel if he doesn't, given his history of slowing down immigration reform. He still remembers, Gutierrez said, when Emanuel, as head of the DCCC, was telling...

Some paras from Where There's a Cause, There's a Caucus (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040402757.html), By Zachary A. Goldfarb, Special to The Washington Post, Thursday, April 5, 2007
Every morning in Washington, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) rides his rusty red-orange Trek bicycle to work on Capitol Hill, a reminder of one of the first things he did when he came to Congress in 1996: create a bike caucus.
With 165 members, the bipartisan Congressional Bike Caucus promotes the use of bicycles as a substitute for cars -- a way to exercise, reduce fossil fuel emissions and improve travel patterns. The caucus shepherded $4 billion for trails, bike paths and pedestrian facilities in a big transportation spending bill in the last Congress.
The bike caucus is just one of the zany-sounding groups that lawmakers have created on Capitol Hill to advance niche interests in Congress. There's no trick to creating a caucus -- or "congressional member organization" -- in the House, where it takes just a letter to the Administration Committee. Nearly 300 have registered. The Senate has far fewer groups, and they don't register at all.
But some caucuses have come to play prominent roles on the front lines of Capitol Hill. The Republican Study Committee has worked to amplify the views of the more conservative wing of the GOP. Since Democrats took control of Congress in January, the Congressional Black Caucus has wielded unusual power, with five members serving as chairmen of House committees.

I had a question about using using AC21.
Here is the scenario: Let us say I work for XYZ Brothers who applied for my 140 and 485. I have approved 140, H-1b, EAD and AP.
If XYZ laid me off or I left them for career progression or more money 180 days after my 485 was filed and 140 approved what happens to my 485 application?
Wouldnt USCIS question that since my sponsoring employer does not exist anymore, who am I going to work for once I get my green card? or is this coverd under AC21?
Please advice!

Hi friends,
Today I had a LUD on my old I-129 (approved in Aug 2005). The online status say: �On August 29, 2007, the post office returned our last written notice on this case as undeliverable. This can have serious effects on the processing of this case. Please call 1-800-375-5283 to update the mailing address so this notice can be re-sent.�
I'm no more working for this employer and I�ve changed to a new employer a year ago. What does this status mean?Any ideas?
Does this cause any problem to my current GC process which was sponsored by current employer?

I am on 8th H1b extension with approved I140 and 3yr extension. Now I want to join a new company, who does my H1B and will get 3yr extension on that. If my parent employer revokes my I140, will my new H1B (with new employer) gets void ? or is it still valid for me to work with new employer for next 3 years. I dont want to apply for LC and I140 with the new employer as I will be R2I in August 2007.
Thanks
Thanks

I am in my 5th yr of H1, and my H1 status will expire next year on Nov 1, 2011.
My I140 filed and is with the appeal Office since jan 2009, with no decision.
I wanted to know what my options are with the current scenario.
� What are the chances of this appeal being approved? ( it was denied based on 5 yrs of education vs 6 years)
� If the appeal is denied, can I transfer the Labor to an EB3, with the same Priority Date?
� Since there is no decision yet, do I have to file another Labor cert ( a new one) for H1 extension.
� How can I still maintain this priority date?
� If I have to file a new Labor cert, can that be done in EB2,with a different job title?

hi,
As far as I know you do not need to get a new visa stamping. At least, it was like that when I was on F-1. What you need to re-enter is to have I-20 from new school. Check with the school's international students adviser.

Currently, I am working with software firm (not a contract work). My wife is re applying for H4 visa. she applied for h4 last year in Feb, i used to work with contracting firm then and refused under 214b(immigration intent). This time we are applying through attorney. Attorney have sent email thrice to Islamabad consulatein Pakistan stating that denial under 214(b) for H4 is not valid reason.
But no response from them.
However my wife is applying again and taking letter with her from attorney stating that reason was invliad.
I am wondering
1- Do we need to highlight the previous denial so much as she is applying on new h1B now
2- in any case, can they revoke and cancel my petition as if they do not find any valid reason to reject again.
I am looking forward to hear from you
Thanks
