Just released from the Press Secretary's Office: In June, I met with members of both parties, and assigned Secretary Napolitano to work with them and key constituencies around the country to craft a comprehensive approach that will finally fix our broken immigration system. I am pleased to see that Senators Schumer and Graham have produced a promising, bipartisan framework which can and should be the basis for moving forward. It thoughtfully addresses the need to shore up our borders, and demands accountability from both workers who are here illegally and employers who game the system. My Administration will be consulting...

Empty Promises (http://www.rollcall.com/issues/53_8/editorial/19419-1.html), July 18, 2007
As Senate Democrats were preparing to go to the mattresses over Iraq voting procedures and as Republicans threatened to stop all activity over a judicial appointment, it's worth recalling what Senate leaders were promising at the outset of the 110th Congress.
On Jan. 4, incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) declared on the floor that "last November, the voters sent us a message - Democrats and Republicans. The voters are upset with Congress and the partisan gridlock. The voters want a government that focuses on their needs. The voters want change. Together, we must deliver that change."
Minutes later, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) observed that "the challenges ahead will not be met if we do nothing to overcome the partisanship that has come to characterize this body over the past several years. A culture of partisanship over principle represents a grave threat to the Senate's best tradition as a place of constructive cooperation. It undermines the spirit and the purpose of this institution. And we must do something to reverse its course."
Six months on, the Senate has devolved into a nonstop brawl. The House, where leaders made let's-work-together promises of their own, also is a cauldron of partisanship, but at least there the rules permit a majority to rule.
But together, they've been able to pass just three pieces of significant legislation - a hike in the minimum wage, expansion of stem-cell research funding and a supplemental appropriation to fund the Iraq War. Only the first was directly signed into law. The second was vetoed by President Bush. The third was vetoed then passed.
Partisan warfare and inaction on issues from health care to immigration to energy - even lobbying and ethics reform, once the top priority for this Congress - has reduced respect for the legislative branch to its lowest level ever. Respect for the presidency is not much higher.
Who's to blame? Senate Democrats accuse Senate Republicans of "obstructionism" - systematic refusal to grant unanimous consent so that bills can be voted upon. Senate Republicans blame Reid for invoking cloture to stifle full debate and the offering of amendments.
The level of rancor is escalating now because Democrats are frustrated that Republicans are insisting on a 60-vote threshold on Iraq War amendments - as though Democrats in the past have not used the 60-vote requirement when it suited them. Republicans are threatening to create procedural chaos and allow little or no action on the floor if Democrats block a single appellate court nominee.
In January, Senators of both parties gathered in the Old Senate Chamber in what McConnell described as "a small act of bipartisanship" that he hoped would lead to a restoration of the Senate's reputation. Now, perhaps, Senators should regather there and contemplate their current level of public esteem.

We have filed for our I-485 application.
I came to know from one of my friends that we do not receive our EAD after 90 days of receiving the receipt no
we can go to nearest immigration office to get it.
Is this the right span of time or we need to wait for more time.
How does this work.
Thanks in advance.

Folks,
Does this really help - Writing letters to senators & congressman to expediate the adjudication process ? Please share your experience if you did so?
A friend of mine advised and I am not sure if it's worth a try. Can there be any negative impact?

I am happy to report that the USCIS has approved the P-1B visa application that I filed on behalf of Superman is Dead (http://www.supermanisdead.net/), an Indonesian band, that will be appearing on Warped Tour �09 (http://www.warpedtour.com/warpedtour/index.asp).
I will post again with more details about the approval in the next day or two.

Any one had luck refiling I140 in EB3 for denied EB2 I140 (for same labor)?
Also is it possible to request USCIS to change an EB2 I140 denied partition to EB3 during an appeal?
It depends on several factors...
Example PERM Job requirements, reason for 140 denial...etc

Pro-immigration advocates can come from the conservative movement just as they can come from the liberal camp. And just as there is an internal battle on the left (labor protectionists often seize on anti-immigration positions), there is also a battle on the right between the pro-business, small government advocates and the xenophobic America first crowd who usually couch their arguments in terms of law and order (though if you dig a little, you'll find that these folks are usually against liberalizing rules to make legal immigration easier). Right wing Talkradionews.com reports on efforts by a Latino group to attract conservative...

I think you have the wrong information. Senate is not ready to vote on it yet. S 2198 which is a part of PACE and holds relevance to the employment based immigration is still in committee hearings.
Thre is a sub commitee hearing today:

My 11 year old neice is in Hong Kong and I want to know
could she come in as a tourist and have a school accept her in Houston Texas, then change the status into student using I-20 issued by the school?
how long it will take to have the status change? more than 2 months?
Do I have to get an immigration lawyer to do it? Or could I do it myself? If yes what is the form number?
Please help, thank you.
Sincerely,
Caroline Ho

I am guessing it should be OK. if at all it needs redirection they will do it internally. besides you can check in your online case status about the RFE or call NSC if you need.
