How A Bill Becomes A Law
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction Of A Bill
Legislation can be introduced in Congress on any subject. Legislation (a bill) can be a simple, non-binding resolution commemorating a notable achievement or lengthy complex changes in law. Legislation is introduced by Members of Congress in the House or Senate. Often similar or identical legislation is introduced in both Chambers of Congress. Introducing a bill is an important, though routine, matter. Thousands of bills are introduced in every Congress, but only a handful are seriously considered or passed into law.
In Committee
Once a piece of legislation is introduced, it is referred to a committee – House bills to a House committee, Senate bills to a Senate committee. The committee may refer the bill to a subcommittee, which can either do nothing, effectively killing the bill, or consider the legislation. Generally, the subcommittee will hold hearings with testimony about the legislation from experts and other interested parties. They may then amend, or change, the legislation and vote to send it to the full committee. The full committee may then consider the bill, amend it, vote to approve it, and send it to the full House or Senate. In both houses, there are procedures for bypassing committees, but this is seldom done.
On The Floor
Once the House or Senate receives the bill, the it may be scheduled for consideration in the full House or Senate – often referred to as being “on the floor” of the chamber where they meet. The bill will be debated, amended, and voted on. A simple majority generally is needed to pass a bill, although in the Senate most controversial legislation requires a 60-vote supermajority to “invoke cloture” to end debate, or filibuster, of a bill.
In Conference
Once the House and Senate pass a bill, a conference committee made up of Senators and Representatives work out any differences between the House and Senate-passed versions. The conference reports out the compromise legislation and sends it back to the House and Senate, where both bodies must pass it again.
On The President’s Desk
After the House and Senate both approve a bill, the bill is sent to the President of the United States. The President has ten days to sign the bill or use his veto power to prevent the bill from becoming a law. In the “veto message” the President explains the reasons (Called “Objections” in the Constitution) for vetoing the bill.
Overriding A Veto
If the President vetoes a bill, Congress can override the President’s veto if two-thirds of the members in both Chambers vote again for the bill. If either Chamber fails to override the veto, the bill does not become law.

Dear Leticia Sierra:
I am a computer professional working in US on H1 Visa for last 6 years in same profession. As you know, my spouse on H4 dependent visa can not work – she has master’s degree with great enthusiasm to work.
Labor certification delay makes me suffer a lot.
Of the two BEC’s the Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center (PBEC) is processing very slow. While the Dallas BEC is proceeding with regular approvals and with approvals as far as application date of Sep-2003(Regional RIR Cases), Philadelphia BEC has not even finished partial data entry for more than half of the applications and have been randomly approving some applications with absolutely NO regard to FIFO (first-in-first-out), which the DOL had promised during the inception of the BEC’s.
Philidelphia Backlog Elimination center for GC labor processing is killing our day to day life. We are not able to take major decisions like buying home, establish business for spouse or investing in economy in stocks etc.
As a legal, tax-paying and productive member of society, my career and my spouses working status is stalled by this seemingly never ending unfair wait in the American legal immigration system and is very discouraging and possibly detrimental to the interest of the American global economy in the 21st century.
I request you to look at us and the whole community like us who are highly skilled, peace loving and helping US economy to grow.
Can you please take necessary steps to speed up the process at Philadelphia BEC like what Dallas BEC is doing now?
Thanks and Have a nice day.

Brilliant, this letter hits the spot. Keep them coming. Lets mail/fax it to her.
Will do it today and let some of my friends do the same.

Hi
Does any know when is Sen. Chuck Hagle immigration reform bill being discussed in senate and if passed will this allow anyone with 3+years US work experience to file I-485 (removing BEC off the equation) OR should the person have a US Masters to qualify for this.

Dear Leticia Sierra:
I am an I.T. Professional working for a reputed organization in US on H1 Visa for last 4 ½ years in same profession. I have a Master’s of Science Degree from one of the reputed School in US and graduated with distinction. With the training I gained from Masters Degree and Experience I earned from working for reputed Organizations, I am working to realize my “American Dream”, build my career, establish my life and take care of my family. I have wife who is also on H1b and a 7 month old beautiful daughter who is an American citizen.
I have applied for Labor Certification from the state of Virginia in May 2002 through my company. My application for labor certification is pending in Philadelphia Backlog Elimination (PBEC) for the last one year and at State, Regional and PBEC altogether for more than 3 ½ years till now. Till date, we do not have any knowledge of when the application will be processed or at what stage the application is.
The delay in the process of Labor certification at PBEC suffers me and the people who are in the similar situation a lot. We are kept in dark about the status of the application. We have no way of knowing the status of our applications either via telephone or by email.
Of the two BEC’s (Dallas and Philadelphia) the processing of our applications at Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center (PBEC) has been very slow. While the Dallas BEC is proceeding with regular approvals and with approvals as far as application date of Sep-2003(Regional RIR Cases), Philadelphia BEC has not even finished partial data entry for more than half of the applications and have been randomly approving some applications with absolutely NO regard to FIFO (first-in-first-out), which the DOL had promised during the inception of the BEC’s. Our cases having been forwarded to PBEC, we are at a disadvantageous situation where the cases at the Dallas are being processed and are being able to get Labor Certification. While new bills being passed that would help the people whose Labor application is certified with the later priority date (than I have ) are able to apply for the next stage, our applications are stuck at the PBEC with no way to go.
Philadelphia Backlog Elimination center for GC labor processing is killing our day to day life. We are not able to take major decisions like buying home, establish business for spouse or investing in economy in stocks etc and realizing the “American Dream”.
As a legal, tax-paying and productive member of society, my career and our future working status is in jeopardy by this seemingly never ending unfair wait in the American legal immigration system and is very discouraging and possibly detrimental to the interest of the American global economy in the 21st century.
I request you to kindly look at us and the whole community like us who are highly skilled, peace loving and helping US economy to grow.
Would you please take necessary steps to speed up the process at Philadelphia BEC like what Dallas BEC is doing now?

USCIS Mockery is RIGHT
stucklabor said:USCISMockery,
Please stop spreading canards. Give a concrete reason why the new measures hurt us. Sure they help someone else more right now. But to argue that we are stuck in a hole and so nothing else should be done other than our own particular problem, is short-sighted and selfish.
If Retrogation effort goes through well with all the Guys stuck here in PBEC the Date might move to say 2003/2004.
What happens then -
In INS
Guys around 2004/2005 Priortiy dates has to hang on till 2007 till the Dates become current for them ( which might take more than a Year as the 90,000 will be used for 2006 quickly)
March 2005 - Sep 2005 PERM Guys are already in 485 Queue. Any PERMer after Oct 2005 will have to wait till 2004/2005 Guys give them chance ( after they move up in the Queue)
PBEC
If No awareness is done then 2004/2005 Guys will get approved only in 2007. (Still they get to file as they expect that their dates are current - This may not be True) They are looking at what they want and want all of us to support Retrogation First
If we guess that we are so generous and don't want to compalin about How Lucky is somebody ( that he got his PERM and EAD qucikly) WHY WE SHOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT ILLEGALS AND ASYLUM SEEKERS . Let them be Happy and be Lucky too. What should be our concern then in comparison to them.
Bottom Line :
ALL Guys with priortiy Dates 2000-2002 are Fighting for PBEC like hell - We should not do that as we might get cleared soon and with current Retrogation measures we might be out of GC in Year. In fact we should support only Retrogation measures and Bills around that
Are we doing that ??? Big NO NO
We are still concerned about PBEC - Why ?? -
Because we have suffered and know how slow things can be with PBEC- One approval per month etc and we don't want all these GUys ( 2003/2004/2005) to get stuck here.
USCIS Mockery is right in what he is saying . Rettogation has a bigger Agenda and Bigger sponsors behind it ( employers, senators, Attorneys, lawyers etc)
PBEC has got ony couple of Hundreds who visit this forum for whatever it can give tehm back
GUys you are free to talk about any Future issues ( Including Interview Questions for your Citizenships as one day you have to be there also and how to Invest after GC etc as this is a Free world and Forum). But POOR Guys who want to Know about cases approved at PBEC and want to know about PBEC matters only - Hang on and read coupleof more pages everydaya as this is a Free and Fair forum ( minus discpline on what can be posted etc - See I can post here so Big message - Some one can say Read if you want)
If this is Really free forum - Do not Shout out at Guys posting thier ads as well . It is too part of the game. Like some one said here Read if you wnat or Leave it
Support USCIS Mockery and listen to him Guys- You will be benifitted
No Replies will be entertained to discuss this my Post further

Guys,
I got a call from DOL in response to my letter to them.
They told my case status which is in RIR.Also they said that it would take anywhere between 20 and 24 months(this was their general response to everybody..they told me).
The guy did not told me my expected approval date but it was an encouraging sign that atleast they are responding my query and also told me my case status.
So. Guys..... Writing letter works !.........Pls. write letters .................
it matters !
Even though it is not a big help ...just wanted to share with you guys...
If my case is in RIR,how much more time its gonna take for approval...Any guesses.....

Since you PD i June 2002 (RIR) and they are working on VA MD & CA Cases very soon you might go to Final Review. Normally going by previous approval rates it takes 30 -40 days for approval from Final Review time
All the Best

I would advise you not to pin your hopes too much on that piece of proposal.....As it stands there are too many immigration reform bills floating around....You can refer to some of my previous posts.....We get clubbed with the illegals and any piece of legislation that contains any amnesty for illegals would face a lot of resistance.....But there would be some relief from the retrogression in near future....
But as Mockery and ohers have been saying all along ....please concentrate on getting out of the PBEC first.....There are enough folks lobbying for visa numbers and nobody talking about PBEC at present.....We have to make more noise about the BECs otherwise PERM guys are gonna eat all available visa numbers....and we would stay stuck in PBEC....It sucks big time....

You are wrong Saknia,
It may take anywhere between 2 to 3 months for the status change from Final review to certify.
Also add another 2 to 3 months to receive the hard copy.(2 to 3 months for the luckiest ones). For the unlucky ones only God knows.
