Graham: DREAM Act push damaged wider immigration reform effort
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that the failed Democratic effort to pass the DREAM Act in the lame duck session dealt a blow to future talks on a wider immigration bill.
�It was an exercise to try and taint Republicans with Hispanic voters, knowing that the DREAM Act under these circumstances could never pass,� Graham told reporters in the Capitol after the bill sputtered on the floor.
�What they have done on the DREAM Act is hurt overall comprehensive immigration reform,� he said.
The DREAM Act, which would give legal status to illegal immigrants who came to the country at a young age, lived here for at least five years, graduated from high school and attended college or served in the military, fell five votes short of the 60 needed to overcome a GOP-led filibuster � 55 to 41.
Graham has worked with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in the past to try and seek a Capitol Hill compromise on a wider reform plan -- one that would blend increased enforcement and border security with a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, among other measures.
He said the DREAM Act effort will make it harder to bridge divides on immigration, noting the impassioned advocacy on both sides of the issue.
�Our base is all riled up that this is amnesty, so you have taken a debate on immigration, one part of it, you have gotten people emotional before you can sit down and reason your way through a comprehensive bill,� Graham said. �Doing this vote the way they did it has hurt the ability to do comprehensive reform next year to some extent.�
What Graham conveniently forgets is that he gave up on the immigration bill, because it was being taken up before the 2010 elections!

Hi,
I am on H1 visa. 485 pending, and have EAD. However the 1 yr period of EAD is nearing, the EAD expiry date is Aug 20. We have already applied for EAD renewal and have recieved 'notice of receipt' for the application.
My question is can I use EAD and change job while EAD renewail is in process? The problem is that the current employer may be closing this dept in few weeks and therefore, I will be losing this job. I would like to know if i can join a new job while EAD renewal is in progress.
Any suggestions please
thanks
You can, for the duration of your current EAD. If you get your new EAD before that, then everything is fine. If not, you might have to stop working on the expiry date of your current EAD till you get the new one.

I am working on an H1B visa for one of the world's largest retailers. I am in my 5th year of my H1 visa status and it expires in 2011. If an LCA is filed before July 2010 which is a 365 day point I will be allowed to extend my H1 for another 3 years while my Green Card is in process.
The situation is that the advertisement has been done in NJ and they received 100 applications which makes it difficult to support their statement of me being the most capable one beyond all US citizens. So they have decided now to advertise once again in a remote location in NJ and another in VA. Is it ok to file the LCA for a single employee from 2 different locations. Are there any risks involved? Do I need to move to VA in case it is approved before the whole process is done? or can it be avoided till I get my Green Card as I'm working for the same employer in a different state?
Any info and advice is much appreciated.

I have an employee who was a student and then got employment authorization. She asked me to begin the process of getting her an H1B; but then we determined that she really wanted a green card. Can I use the LCA I got for her H1B to apply for her I-i40?

Hello,
I am a US Citizen who applied through I-130 form for my married daughter since 2001. She and her husband came here with a tourist visa in 2003 and they overstayed it for a period of 6 years. In the meatime, they had 2 americam kids. They are still in the USA.
I am starting to receiving document from NVC to pay $70 for Affidavit of Support for their cases. I would like to know if an Adjustment of Status can be made for them here in the USA as the immigration does not know where they are right now. I presumed also that they can't return back to their country of origin cause they've been here for so long that they could get caught and get penalized. They have never been employed but received support from the family members and their kids received welfare aids.
What can be done if I want to Adjust their status here? Thank you already for your answers.

Hi,
I'm in H1B visa and my visa was valid until 26th October , 2012. Recently, I went Bangladesh and US embassy stamped visa until October 23, 2011. When I returned US, Immigration office issued me I-94 validity until September 23, 2011. Now how long I can stay in US?? Do I need to apply for H1B visa extension or I will go to Canada or Mexico to apply for new visa or if I go to Canada or Mexico and return back, they will issue me a new I-94 until Sep/Oct 2012. Any one please suggest what should I do?

Hi.
I am planning to invoke AC21 via H1B.
My old employer have no issues continuing the same attorney for my future needs.
My new employer asked me to go with their attorney... but I am planning to go with my old guy who applied my 485.
Can I pay AC21, future expenses etc charges from my pocket since I am going with my old attorney.
Is it OK to me paying fees for the GC instead of Employer? Or I shud go with New company Attorney?
Appreciate your help on this.

My H1-B was approved in octubre 2008, I would like to go to my home country but i don't have a visa to be able to come back.
Now my question is:
Having an approved H1-b is a warranty for me to get a visa to come back to the US.
Also carry your educational docuements. They asked me last time when I went to stamping for my H1B Extension, in Feb 09. People over their in the Embassies looking in all means to stop giving the VISAs. So be prepared with all the documents.

IV seems to have a lot of folks here on a h1b with a non profit organization. My wife is currently doing her residency in a non profit organization on a h1b so basically she is not subject to the cap.
After she finishes, and she looks for jobs, is it possible to get a h1b transfer in a profit organization without being subject to cap? Or H1b transfer is possible only with an non profit organization.
Any inputs will be well appreciated.

If you want to change your location of FP appointment then you can do your FP at any location on W E D N E S D AY only(walk-in's allowed).....other weekdays for appointment people only..........tha't what USCIS customer sevice said..
but some ASC's are accepting weekday walk-in's also.................
It's not necessary to to go on the same day and same time at different location........you can go any wednesday before your appointment date.
*****must be before the appointment date******
It's all my personal experience...........

I arrived through IAD (Washington Dulles Airport) on 12th morning.
I am on AOS 485 pending, EB3-I.
But entered on H1.
ZERO questions asked or any issues encountered at IAD.
There was only 1 officer assigned to take care of non-US citizens.
