Some paras from In Majority, Democrats Run Hill Much as GOP Did (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/17/AR2007021701352.html).
Democrats pledged to bring courtesy to the Capitol when they assumed control of Congress last month. But from the start, the new majority used its muscle to force through its agenda in the House and sideline Republicans.
And after an initial burst of lawmaking, the Democratic juggernaut has kept on rolling.
Of nine major bills passed by the House since the 110th Congress began, Republicans have been allowed to make amendments to just one, a measure directing federal research into additives to biofuels. In the arcane world of Capitol Hill, where the majority dictates which legislation comes before the House and which dies on a shelf, the ability to offer amendments from the floor is one of the minority's few tools.
Last week, the strong-arming continued during the most important debate the Congress has faced yet -- the discussion about the Iraq war. Democrats initially said they would allow Republicans to propose one alternative to the resolution denouncing a troop buildup but, days later, they thought better of it.
And yet, significant numbers of House Republicans have voted along with Democrats on the legislation passed so far -- a fact that somewhat mutes criticism about iron-fisted tactics.
In the first weeks of the new Congress, however, Democrats bypassed the usual legislative committees, refused to allow any amendments and took their agenda straight to the floor for passage. They said they needed a clear path to pass a handful of popular measures that were the basis of their successful November campaign, including expanded money for stem cell research, an increase in the federal minimum wage and implementation of recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission.
Democrats said they would impose "regular order," the rules that permit the minority to participate more widely, in short order.
But even after passing their domestic agenda, Democratic leaders have continued to marginalize Republicans, preventing them from having a voice in legislation such as a bill to withhold federal pensions from lawmakers convicted of ethics felonies and a $463 billion bill to fund the federal government for the rest of this fiscal year.
Last week's debate on the Iraq war, culminating in its passage Friday by a vote of 246 to 182, was conducted under a "closed rule," which means Republicans could not offer alternatives. "I understand what they did on their agenda," said Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho). "But to do a closed rule on something like this is a huge mistake. We're talking about war and peace. You don't play politics with war."
While they did not allow amendments on the Iraq debate, the Democrats gave every member of the chamber five minutes to speak on the resolution -- an unprecedented amount of debate on a nonbinding resolution, according to Thomas E. Mann, a scholar at Brookings Institution. He said that is more than the Republicans offered Democrats when the GOP passed a resolution last spring supporting the war in Iraq.

Hi Guys,
Just need an advice to what to do. My wife is currently on F1 and she is graduating in Dec'07.She has and EAD and AP since we applied for her I485 and even mine is pending. Now I have apply for her 7th year H1B extesion.So my question is do we need to even apply for my wife status change from F1 to H4.She is planning to use her EAD.
lets say even if we apply for status change now, can she travel on AP even though status change is pending.
Thanks to all for the advices.

Hi Experts,
My L1 Individual petition was rejected, the reason was "Individual doesn't have enough specialized knowledge". My question is can I make fresh petition for L1 blanket approval after 6-7 months?

You are ok. As per the USCIS FAQ they would not penalize you on that and your appl. will get accepted if otherwise OK.
My attorney sent my I-485 at Nebraska center because my I-140 was pending at Nebraska but according to question # 38 on FAQ-3, it should have gone to TX based on June 22, 2007 direct filing directives. Should I file again at Texas center?

Perhaps there is a chance we'll see some action on the DREAM Act in 2011 albeit with some major tough to accept changes. The key areas likely to change are the education requirement (mandating actually receiving a degree versus simply attending school), the ability to sponsor relatives down the road when DREAM Act finally become citizens (at least 13 years out) and criminal bars on applying.

Folks,
Here's one question I have which I haven't see in any forums so far (perhaps its lurking somewhere .. who knows) ... let me get to the point.
When filing for AOS/485, if the I-140 that was filed prior to filing AOS was pending and gets approved AFTER 485 was filed... should we explicitly inform USCIS that that 140 was appoved ?
I guess USCIS should have that information (of course!) but I am not sure if we should be pro-active and make sure we inform the service center that the 140 was approved ?!
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I got my labor approved couple of weeks back and now attorney is filing I-140. My situation is
Job 1 : Worked from July 1st 2006 to Oct 2nd 2007 (Laid off on that date and h1b was not cancelled ever after)
so applied for h1 transfer immediately, USCIS received application on Oct 9th 2007 (Regular processing)
While I was waiting on that, I got another fulltime job in Nov, Applied for h1 through this company (Premium processing) and got approval within a week, started working from Nov 15th 2007 to till date..
In Decemeber 2007, I got approval for pending H1b from 2nd compnay too.. but never used as i was already working for Company 3.
So, In my labor requirement it was M.S. and 1 yr relevant experience, Labor approval showing employemnt history as
Job 1 : July 1 2006 to Oct 2 2007
Current Job : Nov 15th 2007 to till date
Is it a problem if it shows 1 month gap between these two jobs?
Appreciate your time

Pls don't post such controversial stuff 'coz it doesn't in any way help our cause, but sure does create some animosity. There are people in this forum who have a different take on things in the political arena.

Hi guys,
How to determine to which service center we need to send our application packet? Is it based on the future job location described in the labor certificate or the present physical location of the applicant?
Applying concurrent: 140/485
present physical location(my present address) state comes under : TSC
Future job location state comes under : NSC
Confused...:confused:
Thanks in advance
