Immigration News and Updates

Published

This is just for the purpose of getting updated or informed and do note that nothing is absolute and in fact things are very fluid or volatile when it comes to immigration matters.

I just wish they would choose the number 2 option which is recapturing 90,000 visas..We need immediate remedy for the retrogression especially for those who are stucked in Packet 3 and to those who have just been petition by their employer-like in my case...The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill, though a very good thing, will take a long time before it will get approved, it has to beat all the odds..I dont think that it is very much appreciated by most members of the US congress, and its estimated time to get approved is by next year or 2009...How long can we wait?, so I just hope that they would just distribute/ recapture 90,000 visas this year..

Actually, I think they are doing a shotgun approach where they will do everything and attach it to any bill possible (or stand-alone as in #2) and they just speculated that the #2 option has the best probabilities and this approach is in respond that the CIR will take a long time or may even have a possibility not to be passed.

Hi, everybody!

I am the wife of the retrogressed nurse who is as impatient and tortured by long waiting at every step of the process as everybody here. Lawrence and Suzanne, you mention "them" as doing everything possible to attach the nurses' bill or pass a stand alone bill. Please, encourage me into believing that "they" indeed are doing something to lobby the bill: unfortunately, no immigration news blogs say that AHA itself undertakes concrete measures to relieve retrogression. Does it? Is there any real action taking place for the sake of the American hospitals and foreign labor force?

Thanks, and preying for the solution on the horizon,

Marina.

Hammond Group is only speculating, they do not write or make the laws in the US. They are a law firm just like any of the others.

Hi, everybody!

There was supposed to happen some Senate meeting or discussion of the budget yesterday (15.2), which could also include the amendment of the nurses' bill. I realize, if there is no news on this, nothing happened. But still, does anybody know where to check the link of the Senate time schedule or something?

Thanks.

Sorry, something did happen, but very vague Hammond law group blog). Interpretation, someone?

Does not matter at all if something passes in one of the houses, it must be voted in the two cheambers, and then be signed to become effective.....and then another three months for the visas to become effective.

Nothing concrete has been signed affecting nurses, that is why what is posted is so vague.
