Some paras from Testing Time for Democrats (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/05/AR2007030501185.html)
The story of the new Congress is actually two stories. Democratic leaders and their grass-roots supporters will decide in the coming days which narrative will prevail.
In January, Democrats dominated the news, the public agenda and the Republicans. In the last weeks of February, the Republicans came back -- not by offering grand proposals but by using the limited tools they have to prove that Democrats don't have enough power, yet, to end the war in Iraq.
When they took control, Democrats looked crisp and disciplined, attributes not normally associated with their party. Speaker Nancy Pelosi's House quickly passed the Democrats' popular campaign promises, including measures on the minimum wage, stem cell research, renewable energy and reforms of the student loan and Medicare prescription drug programs.
This agenda had its skeptics, but it provided focus for a party long out of power and drew significant Republican defections, feeding a raft of "Republicans in Disarray" stories. Pelosi noted at a January news conference that so many Republicans voted for the Democratic proposals that one of her colleagues joked: "Maybe you made these bills too easy."
The Senate Democrats quickly pushed through a different version of the minimum-wage increase, and the party's leading foreign policy voices framed a critique of President Bush's Iraq policy that squared with the public's increasingly skeptical view of the war.
But recent weeks have held nothing but trouble for Democrats -- and it is odd, as one Democrat noted, that they should be on the defensive when the scandal over the treatment of wounded veterans at Walter Reed Army Medical Center has focused attention on yet another failed aspect of the administration's execution of the war and its aftermath.
Instead, one news story after another has highlighted differences among congressional Democrats over how to end the war. There is also the divide between the Washington party and activists at the grass roots and in the blogosphere. All of these problems are rooted in two unalterable facts: Democrats, on the basis of their thin majorities in Congress, lack the numbers to force an unwilling president to alter his course. And they are short of votes to cut off funds for the war altogether.
My Comments
Dems are not united on most issues.
Although this article is on Iraq, a similar situation will occur on Immigration. The big difference is that Dems are very interested in Iraq (they won elections on Iraq) whereas I haven't seen much much Democratic interest on Immigration.

Hi all,
I need an urgent advice. on April 4th I started a new job in a good size company (200+ employers). 2 week before starting the job, I had sent the company all the information required to transfer the visa (paystubs, etc etc) and they confirmed that everything was fine.
Last week (Apr 27th) I have been asked by the Payroll company to provide copy of the I-797 to attach to the I-9. I contacted the company's immigration lawyer and he stated that they filed the transfer on Apr, 26th (3 weeks after i started working for them) and he should have the receipt shortly. This caught me off guard because I was sure they already filed the application before I started working for them. I am really concerned now as I believe I am out of status (or I have been for 3 weeks).
Should I be worried? what's your take on this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's EB3
How do we identify EB3 or EB2 category in approved I-140 ?
In Section , it was written as "Sec. 203 (b) (3) (A) (i) or (ii) ".
Not able to figure it out.

My company is filing 140 and 485 on a preapproved LC (PD of 2005)
But my original LC in P-BEC just got cleared (PD of 2003). They told that they will also use my original LC for 140 as this gives better chance than the substituted one.
1)How Can I have 2 140's ?
3)How will it effect 485?
I'm confused ..please answer

This evening, I watched a debate on television between a proponent and an opponent of comprehensive immigration reform (CIR). The proponent emphasized that we need CIR not for the benefit of the undocumented but because it would stimulate the American economy. The opponent said that this amounted to "open borders" and that our immigration system was already generous enough in the eyes of most Americans. After the debate, I got to thinking about how different this type of debate is from the daily travails of immigrants. In our complex immigration system, the problems are not necessarily black and white, but...

She come her on H4, because her husband is here. She can come here again on H4, if H1 is denied. Why she is staying in India, if her family is here ?
What is the reason for denial ?.
If it is because of education, chances are less to get approval again.
Otherwise try another company.

Can someone explain to me how this work or how USCIS make a decision for I 485?
RD: July 2,2007
ND: September 8, 2007
FP: October 11, 2007.
Thanks:p

The normal process I heard is that they start at the 70 day to complete it by the 90th day. So you can expect it from 70th day onwards.

Hi,
I graduated with Masters in Dec 2008. We have 29 month OPT. My OPT ends in June 2011.
So, I believe we have 3 chances for applying for H1
April 2009
April 2010
April 2011
I have not applied in 2009 and will not apply in 2010.
If I apply for April 2011, will I have any trouble, as my F1 ends in June 2011. I guess H1 starts in October. So, in between June and October , will I need to travel out of country . My University says, it will not be trouble. Please explain.
Thanks
Santosh
