Some paras from Where There's a Cause, There's a Caucus (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040402757.html), By Zachary A. Goldfarb, Special to The Washington Post, Thursday, April 5, 2007
Every morning in Washington, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) rides his rusty red-orange Trek bicycle to work on Capitol Hill, a reminder of one of the first things he did when he came to Congress in 1996: create a bike caucus.
With 165 members, the bipartisan Congressional Bike Caucus promotes the use of bicycles as a substitute for cars -- a way to exercise, reduce fossil fuel emissions and improve travel patterns. The caucus shepherded $4 billion for trails, bike paths and pedestrian facilities in a big transportation spending bill in the last Congress.
The bike caucus is just one of the zany-sounding groups that lawmakers have created on Capitol Hill to advance niche interests in Congress. There's no trick to creating a caucus -- or "congressional member organization" -- in the House, where it takes just a letter to the Administration Committee. Nearly 300 have registered. The Senate has far fewer groups, and they don't register at all.
But some caucuses have come to play prominent roles on the front lines of Capitol Hill. The Republican Study Committee has worked to amplify the views of the more conservative wing of the GOP. Since Democrats took control of Congress in January, the Congressional Black Caucus has wielded unusual power, with five members serving as chairmen of House committees.

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...

But threir current client is in Canada. So compnay B want me to travel to Canada, every week, retun back to US in week end. Can I do this while working on EAD. I am just worried wether it will cause any problem. They told that that is the reason they do not want to do H1B.

Republicans were working to break an impasse on a proposal that would let employers continue to handpick the high-skilled workers they want to get green cards, rather than requiring workers to qualify through a new, government-run point system.
That change, sought by Sen. Maria Cantwell (news, bio, voting record), D-Wash., and Sen. John Cornyn (news, bio, voting record), R-Texas, with vigorous backing from the high-tech community, could upset the delicate balance underlying the contentious immigration measure.

Hi all.
I just came back from Canada after 4 days using 30 day rule as I wanted to recoup few days so that my co. can apply for 7th year extension because my LC shall be pending for more than 365 days. My question is does my employer have to file two seperate LCAs for each I-129 application or same LCA copy can be attached with each I-129 ( 1st I-129 for extension for 3 days, 2nd I-129 for 1 year extension ) ?
( NOTE- MY I-94 WAS EXPIRING ON 15TH MAY AND LABOR CERT. SHALL BE PENDING FOR MORE THAN 365 DAYS ON 17TH MAY, SO I HAD TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE USA TO RECOUP FEW DAYS)

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.

Hello,
Does anyone know any good lawyers in the Northern Virginia/Maryland area ? I've had some bad experiences so I would welcome any recommendations. Please let me know how much they charge for the entire green card process. I appreciate your assistance.

Hi folks,
My company filed for I-485 on July 2nd and I am yet to get a receipt for the same. I understand that usually it takes 1-3 months to get FP request after filing I-485 but in these circumstances, what should be the expectation for receiving FP request?
The reason for asking is because my wife is tired of waiting to do a job and is planning to go to India and work there until she gets EAD. If she leaves now and we get a FP request in her absence, what are my options?
1) Can I delay the FP appointment?
2) Can I go alone and have myself finger-printed (assuming that wife doesn't want to come back to US, that is, not interested in GC anymore)?
3) How does it impact EAD/AP which have not been filed yet but will be filed after getting the I-485 filing receipt.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

No. You can't port PD from spouse.
You can port your own PD, if you have another EB3 approved.
You can port the country of chargeability, if she was born in another (ROW) country.
My priority date is in 10/2006 under EB3. My wife just start her GC process under EB2. Can my wife port my PD date to her GC application?
Thanks!

Hi All,
if the dependent is planning to come back on AP and then start working on EAD, does it mean the primary applicant has to work on EAD or the primary applicant can still continue on H1.

Is it okay with AOS application to take contract Job after six month of AOS filling.
I am getting a long term contract with better opportunities. How is the contract job interpreted with continuing AOS application
You can do anything, using EAD or H1B if you have one, prior to getting your GC, as long as when you are nearing your GC, your GC sponsor or some other employer, is prepared to confirm that job same/similar to what is in LC, is available for you.

The Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Immigration Subcommittee Chairman, told the AP yesterday that he plans on introducing a comprehensive immigration reform bill before Labor Day and then hopes to have a debate on the bill in the fall. Schumer hinted that advocates for highly skilled immigrants are likely to be happier with the bill than those pushing for guest worker reforms for lesser skilled workers and that business and the unions have yet to reach a compromise. [Hat tip to reader LAFR for this link].

Hi all,
I filled I-485 in 2007. Now I am waiting on the status adjustment and I have a quick question about job changes.
A starting-up company with only 2 employees has got a contract outside U.S.. They need to hire somebody to work for them outside U.S. for 1 year maybe longer. I happen to be their best candidate. My question is whether a small company like this one is able to sponsor me to get my GC. Does USCIS have minimum requirements for a company which can sponsor employees' GC application? For instance, a company must have at least 30 employees or over $3 million revenue. I really want this opportunity. But I don't want to ruin my GC application.
I greatly appreciate your time and your answers.
Thanks.
Kevin

It depends upon your luck with AP. Because you never know when they will be approving your AP and in case it is lost in Mail (it happens to lot of people) and you need to re-apply with fees again. This is very tricky....... You may get it in few weeks or few months or never. Not to discourage you, it really how lucky you are. All the best. I always will file 3-4 months in advance.
