THE HILL
http://www.thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/Business/022806_immigration.html
Anti-immigration groups up against unusual coalition
By Patrick O’Connor
The National Restaurant Association usually does not join forces with the National Council of La Raza, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce rarely, if ever, aligns itself with the Conference of Catholic Bishops.
But those organizations and many others have come together in support of a comprehensive immigration-reform bill that would expand guest-worker programs and offer undocumented workers already in this country a path to citizenship. They are up against an aggressive cross-section of single-issue organizations that favor increased enforcement of immigration laws and have condemned any legislation that would allow undocumented workers already here eventually to become citizens.
With the Senate Judiciary Committee expected to mark up its version of the immigration bill Thursday, groups on either side of the issue have geared up for a hard fight, and the vehemence and intractability of either side should make compromise particularly difficult for lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Staff members of many of the organizations involved in this fight stayed up much of last Thursday night poring over details of draft legislation released by Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) in anticipation of this week’s markup. By Friday afternoon, many of those organizations released statements either heralding or deriding Specter’s draft.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) has said he would like to move a bill to the floor by the end of March, meaning next month is critical in the years-long debate over immigration reform.
A unique coalition of divergent interest groups have rallied in support of a bill introduced by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), with select members of the AFL-CIO teaming up with social-welfare organizations, the Chamber and other business groups that support a temporary-worker program.
“The fact that the Chamber of Commerce needs comprehensive immigration reform is very good,” said Flavia Jimenez, an outreach director for the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy organization.
Members of the business community also appreciate working with groups such as La Raza because it allows the overarching coalition to communicate with Republicans and Democrats alike on Capitol Hill.
“It’s nice actually to get to work with these guys,” said John Gay, a senior vice president for government affairs with the National Restaurant Association, which co-chairs the Essential Worker Immigration Coalition (EWIC), a group of more than 40 business and trade associations seeking comprehensive reform.
Because the many groups within this broad coalition have slightly different priorities, they must communicate regularly to push common themes. In the end, these organizations are all fighting for what they consider the best interests of their dues-paying members.
“When push comes to shove, we will all become … forceful advocates for our members,” Gay said. “If we’re at an impasse on something, it’s not through misunderstanding. When we differ, it will be for real reasons.”
Despite the breadth of interest groups advocating an expanded guest-worker program, the enforcement-only crowd makes considerably more noise on Capitol Hill, if the flood of mail, e-mail and phone calls to member offices is any indication.
A handful of single-issue groups opposing the guest-worker program have effectively put the other side on the defensive since President Bush first announced his intentions to push comprehensive immigration reform, as evidenced by the administration’s backtracking since Bush first proposed such a program in January 2004.
One of those groups, Numbers USA, has 135,000 registered activists throughout the country and an e-mail list in excess of 1 million subscribers, all of whom have signed up voluntarily, said Caroline Espinosa, a spokeswoman for the group. A link on the Numbers USA website also allows browsers to fax a personal note to members of Congress in support of increased enforcement of illegal immigration.
Numbers USA also does objective and subjective summaries of each bill introduced on the issue and notifies subscribers in advance of any important actions on Capitol Hill, such as this week’s markup. As such, the group was expected to send an alert asking those supporters living in states represented by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to call or fax their members in anticipation of that markup.
Unlike their counterparts on the guest-worker side of the debate, these single-issue groups do not coordinate to the extent of their rivals.
“We’re pretty separate,” Espinosa said. “We don’t even share resources, even though we’re all working toward the same goals.”
Battling with groups like Numbers USA is an uncommon experience for many members of the business community because they do not regularly work on such socially sensitive topics.
“We don’t usually end up on the other side of single-issue groups,” Gay said. “That’s unusual for us.”
McCain was scheduled to appear at a union hall in New York City yesterday with a number of these groups as a demonstration of how the expanded guest-worker program is attracting broad, bipartisan support.
The White House has sent signals to Republicans in both chambers that it favors comprehensive reform, which could include an expanded temporary-worker program. House leaders passed an enforcement-only bill under the assumption that the Senate would take up the more politically difficult guest-worker issue.
The anti-immigration crowd has political momentum at this stage in the fight, with congressional Republicans wary to cast any vote that could turn off their conservative base during this critical election year, but members will also have a hard time ignoring such a broad cross-section of business, labor and social groups with their own self-interested constituents.
“We’re not trying to damage America,” Gay said. “We’re just trying to keep our restaurants open.”

Hi ,
I received RFE on my I-131 application asking for all the I-94's that is being issued to me.
I had been in and out of US many times and there's lot if I-94's involved and I don't anything with me except the latest. What options do I have?... Also couple of times during my earlier trip (initial visits in US), the AIR Line didn't even take the I-94 from my Passport which ultimately I lost.
My Passport has all the entries indicating my Date in and Date out...
Gurus - What do you advise on my case...
Anybody's input are highly appreciated and I know we could somehow get the I-94 copies by requesting USCIS. (That is time consuming)... I have to respond in next five to ten days...
What options do I have?...
Thanks.

Yes you can do it. You could have done this last yr as well.
I am on H-1B and wife on H-4. We did not get our stimulus payment last year since she does not have SSN.
For people who did not receive stimulus payment last year can claim it this year. So for people like me whose wives are on ITIN, can get $600 back this year or so I think. The way to do this can be:
First file Married filing separately, claim $600 credit and then amend it to file married filing jointly. IRS will not ask stimulus back. Let me know your thoughts on this idea. I wish I could get $1200 but hey even $600 is better than nothing.
Any thoughts??

Googler,
How is this possible, EB3 ROW also has a limit to how many they can use correct? They only can use what ever is beyond the 7 % used for India/China/Mexico/Phil (28% in total). Out of 1/3 of the 140K.
Am I right here ?
I think EB3 - ROW will stop or retro. next month or for sure in the next couple of months back to where they were. Lot of people here are saying that ROW will be current soon I am not sure where they are getting these facts.
Randy and others, do go through the older threads, there are quite detailed explanation of quota allocations. ROW is the rest of the world, and yes they get to use ALL of the rest: within ROW spillover occurs from EB-1 to EB-2 to EB-3, so whatever visas are available/leftover will be used up by EB-3 ROW -- they have suffered massive retrogression for many years, and now early PDs will not be stuck in the FBI blackhole.
I am not saying that EB-3 ROW cutoff will necessarily move further forward (i.e forward from Jan05) -- DOS intent is to use up all the remaining greencards -- and it might well be that the current cutoff will achieve that goal -- if it doesn't only then will they move the EB-3 ROW dates forward. Oversubscribed countries get a spillover ONLY if EB-1 ROW + EB-2 ROW + EB-3 ROW still leave unused visas.
See my post here (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=224031&postcount=200) as well.

SThe letter must indicate that job is permanent and full-time.
[/COLOR]
I've been thru many jobs here, and none of the offer letters mentioned that the job would be "permanent" (whatever that means). It's especially not possible to have that written on job offer letters for contract/project-based jobs. In any case, UDCIS does *not* require you to mention that on your EVL.

Why hijack somebody's thread and flood it with posts requesting donations. Why not just start a new thread for this. Also, it is senior members who are indulging in this kind of activity.
Please donate that extra money meant for leisure to IV instead going to Bahama this year. You may help yourself doing this and that humble act may get your GC quick and thus enable you to enjoy cruises to Bahama every year without worrying about Visa validity and time lines.

At what point of GC process you don't need your lawyer anymore? Is it true that after filing I-485, and if everything is smooth with ur case, you don't need lawyer.
One more question, at 485 stage , if there is RFE/NOF, does USCIS inform you or your Lawyer?

Hello,
My application also returned for the same reason (no I485 receipt notice attached) from Phoenix. Not sure what to do at this time. I never received I485 receipt notices. Hence, I have attached biometric notices in place I485 receipt notices. I have added a cover letter requesting to expedite the process. I am not sure if this request caused some mental disturbance on the person who is supposed to work on my application and may have sent me rejected notice.
I got my wife's and sons entire packet back with the exact remarks, "Incorrect Check amount and no I 485 attached". I had both correct amount of 340.00 and Copy of I 140 attached..I e-filed on June 15th again and waiting to see this time what excuses they come out with now..I did get the receipt notices for both of them yesterday.. What a joke??
