Reid warns of December adjournment (http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/reid-warns-of-december-adjournment-2007-09-21.html) By Jackie Kucinich | The Hill, September 21, 2007
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) suggested Thursday that lawmakers may need to stay until Christmas to finish their must-pass bills.
His comments underscored that one of Congress�s most stubborn bipartisan traditions � the unattainable adjournment date � may again stand the test of time.
According to the current House calendar, the first session will end Oct. 26, giving lawmakers plenty of time to go back to their districts to talk about the session�s successes or failures, depending on their party.
In reality, Congress rarely adjourns before November, oftentimes staying through December to complete the �people�s work� � appropriations bills � before members head home for the year.
Reid said he hoped that the Senate would not stay until Christmas because of the lingering appropriations battle, but he didn�t rule it out. In July, Reid set the target date at Nov. 16, but was less than confident that the goal would be met even at that point.
Reid added he has spent a lot of time negotiating the appropriations process with House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) as well as the new chief of the Office of Management and Budget, Jim Nussle.
Reid called the difference between the White House budget request and the pending appropriations bills � $21 billion � �a very small amount.� The White House has threatened to veto any spending bill that exceeds its request.
�It�s not as if we are trying to spend this money� on brand-new programs, he said, noting that the funding would go toward law enforcement programs, healthcare and education.
�I don�t want a headache, I want to try to work this out,� Reid said.
He added, however, that the going might be tough, blaming Bush�s �unusual� way of negotiating. �It�s his way or no way.�
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) was slightly more optimistic, explaining that House lawmakers have opted to work the week of Columbus Day rather than taking it off like their Senate colleagues.
�We have work to do, and we�re going to [do] it,� Hoyer said. �We are hopeful to certainly get out � we scheduled October 26th as the date to adjourn.�
He added: �I would be unrealistic if I told you that I thought October 26th was a hard date at best.�
House Republicans blamed the inability to meet the deadline on what they described as a light work schedule of early votes and adjournment.
�I think Democrats are coming to the realization that fewer post offices need naming than they had previously thought. It was a fundamental miscalculation on their part,� quipped Amos Snead, a spokesman for Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.).
A House GOP aide added: �This majority couldn�t hit the broad side of a barn with a beach ball from point-blank, no less a target adjournment date when not a single spending bill has arrived on the president�s desk to date.
�Having said that, we�re heading for the biggest omnibus in history, and we�ll see it around the time kids start looking for Santa,� the aide added.
In July 2006, then-Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) proposed abolishing adjournment dates, citing the fact that they are never met on time and are arbitrary at best.
�It means nothing,� Boehner told reporters at the time. �You all know it means nothing because it really does mean nothing. Anyway, there is no reason to have a target adjournment on the schedule.�

Hi,
Recently I transferred my H1 to another company. My H1 and my wife�s H4 got expired on last August 2nd 2007. However, the new company filed H1B application and it got approved 2 weeks back, but forgot to file for H4 extension for my wife. My company is saying they will file for H4 extension (I-539) now, even though her visa/I-94 got expired and she doesn�t have to go back home. Do you think they are on right track? I�d really appreciate if anyone could suggest me on this.

Hello,

Thanks so much

Hello ... Please, answers my question
My 6years of H1 expires on Apr'2011. Company A filed for perm, perm went to Audit, Got 7th year extension which expires Apr'2012
Later, moved to Company B, got Change of Employer approved until Apr'2012.
Now I am going to India and need to get stamping. Will I have any issues in getting the visa stamping for 7th year? Please advice.
Both Company A and B are very big companies and I am direct employee not a contractor.
I have the CompanyA's perm screenshot and email, but don't know what its status, as i left the company and I am not in touch with them
Thanks in advance

Dear Mr. President: With all respect, and lingering if flagging admiration, I write to help you tackle a problem -- America's broken immigration system. If you do the right, bold thing on immigration, it could well determine the success of your presidency and facilitate your reelection in 2012. You've already admitted that the voters gave you a "shellacking" in the mid-term elections. You've also heard Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, announce that the overarching goal of Republicans in the next two years is to make sure that you turn out to be a one-term president. Despite your having cozied up...

On June 26, 2009, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that the current edition of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 (Rev. 02/02/09) will continue to be valid for use beyond June 30, 2009. USCIS has requested that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve the continued use of the current version of Form I-9. Once the extension request is approved, USCIS will update Form I-9. At that time, employers will be able to use either the Form I-9 with the new revision date or the Form I-9 with the 02/02/09 revision date.

Below is my current GC & H1-B status
1. Have an approved I-140 with my current employer. Waiting to file I-485.
2. Pending H1-B extension petition based on approved I-140
I'm looking to move from engineering to marketing with the same employer. I know I have to refile labor and I-140 and claim the PD based on the already approved I-140. Can I move to marketing from engineering? The job responsibilities are totally different and my current H1-B extension petition is for engineering position only. I need to file for a H1-B amendment based on the new marketing position.
Will i be able to move smoothly within my current company. If not what will be some roadblocks? Any advice or insights is highly appreciated

I am a strong supporter of Comprehensive Immigraton Reform (CIR). I have been on both sides of the fence. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I was an attorney for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. I spent a couple of years representing the government in deportation proceedings, often conducted in Federal prisons. Are there people in the U.S. who should be deported? Absolutely! I have no regrets. But even while serving as an INS Attorney, I fully realized that the man that I deported on Friday afternoon would be back in the U.S., working at his job to feed...

Here is my situation, my PD is March 05 and my 140 is pending for the past 3 months. Do you guys think if I get my 140 approved by Premium processing it would increase my chances of 485 approval this fiscal year? BTW, as its obvious from my PD I will be filing my 485 in July, God willing.

and out of these 40k left over approvals 10-25% of cases could have been potential substitutions. It will help but in a miniscule way.

My spouse is on H4 currently. Have applied for H1 in April 2007 and got the H1 aproved. So the new H1 starts on Oct 2007. However, we applied for 485 and got our EAD's (No recept number, No finger printing etc).
Can my spouse use EAD to start job? we dont want use that new H1 currently. What are the implications if we use EAD? Will the H1 (and my H1) be effected?
Search and you'll find your answer...
Using EAD will invalidate H1/H4 status...
You may file for H1 transfer later to revive your H1 status if needed...
