It looks like there is a compromise. This is probably the best we can hope for. At least they are toning down the asylum provisions. And the cap removal is there.
 
Remeber the white house response about real id act and asylum

White house (or Mr bush) supports the real id act if the cap on adjustment for pr for asylee is lifted.... i think it was a part of white(or grey) house press release couple of week or month back... so i believe they will keep cap removal part in the bill becasue it is mr bush who has to sign the bill and he is the President ;) of the USA already mentioned about supporting the bill if the cap is lifted... i hope :confused:
 
followup

I did a bit more research, and looks like the act was indeed passed, but it is not known when the USCIS will implement the act. Am I right?

You're really funny. :)

You have to forgive me for knowing too little too late. I was asking for a friend of mine, who heard about the news but wasn't too sure about it. I also felt this sounded too good to be true.

In any case, she's waiting to be granted the asylum status, so that she can use I730 to get her son into this country. This seems to take forever, but now, looks like happiness is within reach. I just want to help her make sense of the news and have some estimation of when she could possibly get her status approved and file the I730 form. Or, is it possible to file the I730 now, since the act has already been approved? Any comment or additional news are welcome. Thank you.
