H. R.3012 progress - latest news - UPDATES

11/01/2011: The Rank of H.R. 3012 Bill Soared to Number One of the Weekly Top Five Pending Legislative Bills in the Legislative Bill Report Site
In the Legislative Information Site of the Library of Congress, Thomas, this bill has moved up from the second most hit bills to number one most hit bill this week reflecting the attention this bill has been receiving from the employment-based immigrants, businesses, and for that matter, the opponents of the bill. Despite the popularity of this bill, this bill is not in this week's House floor schedule at this time. The schedule can change before the end of the week, though. It depends on the House Majority Leader's scheduling from the House calendar.
11/01/2011: Congressman Rush Holt (D) Joins Sponsorship of H.R. 3012

Yesterday, the Democratic Congressman, Rush Holt from New Jersey joined the sponsorship of this bill making this bill more "bi-partisan" legislative bill. Accordingly, the number of co-sponsors for this bill have increased to four, including the powerful Democratic immigration legislation leader in the House, Zoe Lofgren from California.

H.R.3012 is in Sanate- Good Progress

11/11/2011: Senate Version of the House H.R. 3012 Per Country Numberical Limitation Elimination Bill Introduced in the Senate Yesterday, 11/10/2011

One of the hottest House bills, H.R. 3012, was introduced by a Congressman from Utah on the House side. Now, a Republican Senator from the same state of Utah, Mike Lee, introduced S.1857 to eliminate the per-country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrants and to increase the per-country numerical limitation for family-sponsored immigrants. This bill may be a companion bill of the H.R. 3012 on the Senate side, which apparently was introduced yesterday in anticipation of House passing H.R. 3012 and reaching of the bill in the Senate soon. The full text has yet to be made available. Please stay tuned to this website for the full text of the Senate version.

H.R.3012 Co Sponsers grown up to 8

Good news.
2 more co sponsors in last two days as per Thomas site. Total Co sponsors are now 8.

Keep on calling your local congressman to support both H.R.3012 and S.1857.
This is our only chance to hope for Green card before retirement.
