From what I've heard so far, immigration reform being proposed in Congress are mainly employment base (legal or illegal). I think Sen. Edward Kennedy have raised this issue that we should also give some attention to family based immigration as well. I hope something really happens either way.
It's much worse
I believe Bush administration is proposing RESTRICTING family based immigration. Basically the Republican party wants to tilt the whole immigration system towards employement based --- at the cost of family related immigration.

There is absolutely no evidence of this, apart from an article in a Phillipino news website that apparently was based on nothing.I believe Bush administration is proposing RESTRICTING family based immigration.

There is evidence for that. The proposal is that it will take up to 8 years to clear the current backlogs for those already waiting no matter what category, family based F1, F2B, F3 and F4 will no longer exists, also parents sponsorship will be limited. Anyone in the system before the prosed cutoff date will be OK and would see rapid processing.There is absolutely no evidence of this, apart from an article in a Phillipino news website that apparently was based on nothing.
It is reported that this proposal is agreed on.
Reported by who and where? Link please.There is evidence for that.

I guess you are not reading on the Immigration dialouge going on between the Dem and Rep Senators and white House officials at all. This proposal of eliminating family based apart from spouses and minor children has been reported in every major news media. Its hard to beleive that you have not seen this. What do you think the real problem is now in the discussions...not illegals...that has agreed upon...apart from the touch back policy. Eliminating family based is where the war has been waged.....Dems against and Rep for.

What? No link? Please show me a report of this in a major news media outlet.
... and specifics of any proposal. It's interesting, when it comes to immigration process ans wersmost people here want a signed affadavit in blood from the general counsel of USCIS before they believe anything. When it comes to rumor and unsubstantiated innuendo, they'll believe anything without any corroboration.
Family-based immigration will be around for a long time.

I have a better link for you: S.1348
That's the actual text of the CIR legislation introduced in Congress. Let's stick to facts instead of opinions - is there a point system in there? (I honestly don't know; but I can tell you that it retains FB immigration.)

Yes, that was the only link I could find that had any relevance. Still it does not say they're scrapping familiy immigration, simply that there's an idea to give priority to smart people. Not a bad idea IMHO, but still a far cry from the idea that they're going to "scrap family immigration".
Can you point me towards the articles on the Washington Post that backs up your claim as well?
I think this is what he's talking about.. It's just an idea to prohibit USC to bring siblings and adult children.
I wouldn't call it closing door for FB. My thought is all the adult must be on their own.

Thank you GotPR, I guess you would make a good lawyer...Doc and Canadian...here the argument and we all have to agree.....If you are going to grant at least 12 milion people amnesty and each applicant sponsors their 6 adult kids + children if any, 6 brothers + spouses + kids, and then if each adult kids sponsors their mother/father if being born out of wedlock...then you will be looking at a population explosion. Thats why some senators are proposing cutting F1, F2B, F3 and F4 and limiting parents. I once thought this was not fair, but reality kicked in. I even think they should cut parents over certain age, and put the rest on a points based system.
I am shocked that you are not following the discussions......Canadian, you and I know that that bill will not make it in the house.
They plan to phase out family based over eight years by processing all those in line and then use the next five to process the illegals. From what I have been hearing, a deal might just come through.

Out of curiosity, why do you believe that S.1348 won't make it through the House?

I am at a loss as to how you drew such a conclusion. Two of the three (the third was down - too busy) speak of limiting FB immigration, which isn't news - it's already limited.
Family immgration need reform too.
Hi Guys , We should raise our voice to senators. Just keep writing in AILA .com putting your zipcode. Why would we suffer for waiting so long.We must be rewarded for waiting. We family immigrant follow the most legal way of immigration. Family immigrant also need reform because of retrogession in each and evry category whether f1,f2,f3 or f4.You all can see how EB visa is moving 2 to 3 years.Guys we must write to our senators.Tell your pain how do we feel pain being apart from our own blood.2 to 3 days more left must write it.

I told you so...read this...maybe we study the law differently. Here is a picture of what is about to be debated...If you can read between the lines its goodbye for F1, F2B, F3 and F4 in the future.....only those who are already in might get a break. So much for reform!

You're reading a lot between the lines here I think. The emphasis will change is the only thing I see, from what I hear they will re-prioritise visas to smart people rather than people's brothers and sisters. Although that might mean a longer wait, I don't see anything saying that that all Family Based immigration categories will be destroyed.

That's not what is about to be debated. It's a newspaper article.
I have already posted a link to what has been introduced in the Senate and will be debated, yet you refuse to look at it and instead run around claiming that newspapers are more authoritative than a Senate bill.
Quick question - if you submit I 130/485 sponsoring your parents before the law passes, are you not affected by the limitations being proposed by the President?
Also, after you submit the sponsorship papers, can the benefiiciary stay in the US until the application has been processed?
Thank you.
