Graham: DREAM Act push damaged wider immigration reform effort
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that the failed Democratic effort to pass the DREAM Act in the lame duck session dealt a blow to future talks on a wider immigration bill.
�It was an exercise to try and taint Republicans with Hispanic voters, knowing that the DREAM Act under these circumstances could never pass,� Graham told reporters in the Capitol after the bill sputtered on the floor.
�What they have done on the DREAM Act is hurt overall comprehensive immigration reform,� he said.
The DREAM Act, which would give legal status to illegal immigrants who came to the country at a young age, lived here for at least five years, graduated from high school and attended college or served in the military, fell five votes short of the 60 needed to overcome a GOP-led filibuster � 55 to 41.
Graham has worked with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in the past to try and seek a Capitol Hill compromise on a wider reform plan -- one that would blend increased enforcement and border security with a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, among other measures.
He said the DREAM Act effort will make it harder to bridge divides on immigration, noting the impassioned advocacy on both sides of the issue.
�Our base is all riled up that this is amnesty, so you have taken a debate on immigration, one part of it, you have gotten people emotional before you can sit down and reason your way through a comprehensive bill,� Graham said. �Doing this vote the way they did it has hurt the ability to do comprehensive reform next year to some extent.�
What Graham conveniently forgets is that he gave up on the immigration bill, because it was being taken up before the 2010 elections!

She does not need to do anything but get a job, fill form I-9 and start working again. She is in a period of authorized stay since her I-485 is pending. I don't think it's even necessary to apply H4 for her.

Hi All,
I have a strange issue, paining me since I have joined this new company, ( I am using AC21, since I am on EAD and AC21 is not yet filed). I am one of those unlucky fellows with really long name(First Name) stuck on my passport, and I have been using this all along, as my legal name while applying for visa/485 related activities. However, I go by the last part of the First Name and so all my other records here (like DL, SSN card, Bank Accounts, 401K account, etc) have got the last part of the First Name as my first name.My H1-B visa had the complete first name printed on it, and so I have been thinking, people could see that the name I have been using is in the last part of the complete First Name on the Visa and Passport.
However, in the EAD card, the name got cut(or incomplete) as the entire first name could not be printed on it. When I showed this to the new employer, they are using the name as displayed on the EAD card(which is not what I go by) in all the accounts they are establishing, like Paycheck, 401K info, ESPP etc.
Now I am in a soup, I have requested them to use the last part of the first name, which they are chcking with their immigration lawyers. But in the meanwhile, I want to know, does any one has this kind of problem. What should we do if the name is incomplete on the printed EAD card? (Ofcourse once I get GC, I would rather change this damn name)
Any one has any ideas?
Thanks

I obtained an H1B visa through Company A (starting October 2008) and the H1B visa was valid until September 2011, unfortunately in March 2009 I was laid off. As a result to maintain my status I switched from an H1B visa to a B1/B2 visa. I actually went to my home country and got the visitors visa from the consulate in my home country. In July 2009 I returned to the USA and entered the USA as a visitor on a B1/B2 visa.
My question now is what happens if I obtain employment. What does my new employer have to do? Since my initial H1B approval is valid until September 2011, can by new employer just take over the H1B without me having to go through the lottery system again even though currently I am on a visitors visa and have been unemployed for more than 3 months?
Thank you.

Not sure if I posted this on right forum....
I'm at 485/EAD stage. not on H1b anymore. I recently badly sprained and fractured my ankle/foot. Am considering taking a leave for maybe two weeks from work.
Question: does going on short term disability and getting benefits from the state have any adverse effect on the immigration process?
Please let me know. Thanks.

Looks like there is a huge backlog of perm applications. I am not sure if they will look at your application anytime soon. If your application is pending more than a year at least you could apply for extension of H1.
It will be delusional on our part to think that perm applications will have an easy approvals.

I see another issue/bug with IV. I have been observing this for a long time.
Though one particular thread shows 102 pages, the maximum I can go is 98th page. I think somehow the page counting logic is wrong.

I140 approved: Nov 05
I-485 applied: Jun 05
FP1: Jul 05
FP2: May 07
AC21: Job changed twice (Jun 06 and Apr 07). Sent EVL to USCIS both times with 'same job description' but 'different job title'.
This morning I received USCIS email alert for both my wife and I.
My I-485 application got a RFE. "We mailed you a notice requesting additional evidence". Will have to wait for the formal letter for the details. :(
My wife's I-485 application however was transferred to Newark NJ for interview. "This case has been sent for a standard interview." :confused:
I have a ton of questions at this stage. here are few in you gurus can help me while I am waiting for the RFE letter.
1) Will the RFE letter be mailed to me or my attorney ? what has been ur experience? do you get it in one week ?
2) why USCIS has split the processing of my I-485 and my wife's I-485. Her I-485 is transfered to Newark, NJ while mine is pending at TSC (now waiting for RFE response).
3) How much time will I have to respond to the RFE? Based on the new guidelines (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_timrfe.html) , I expect that to be stated in the RFE letter.
thanks in advance.

Found this interesting information on the shusterman.com.
"The next day, Representative Tom Lantos (D-CA) introduced the "Health Improvement and Professionals Act of 2005" (H.R. 139). The bill proposes to "recapture" over 130,000 immigrant visas lost due to bureaucratic inertia during 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004."

Hey, Your category has always been current. What are you doing on this forum.
Looks like this guy is from an anti-immigrant group.
Are you serious with your comment? Not from any anti-immigrant group here LOL. I just genuinely care for our collective future as immigrants. I know some people "close the golden door behind them", but not everyone does that

Hi Everyone,
Need some inputs urgently. I recently joined a company. They had posted job offering all over the place without much success. Finally they decided to hire me on H1.
Now while initiating the Green Card process, I am being told
"Nothing can be used from our original recruiting as there are strict guidelines on the resources that must be used for the recruiting (i.e. posted on our website for 10 days and screen shots taken every day, etc.). Everything needs to be started from scratch"
Is this correct? What is the correct process in PERM?
Here is what the Attorney's office says:
"The entire labor certification process, from initial preparation to recruitment to approval of the application, takes about 6 months. However, we will work very closely with your office to complete the necessary steps in the least amount of time feasible. Once we receive the inputs from your office, we will work with you to prepare the job description and minimum requirements. Once that is finalized we will identify the recruitment options and begin recruitment. We must file the application within 180 days from the first date the recruitment begins. Our target date to file is 90 days after the first date the requirement begins"
Please advise. Is all the above correct or is there something being quoted incorrectly.
Best Regards,
TG
