AILA Confirms Following Details of Senate Judiciary Approvals Yesterday
According to the AILA, AILA has passed the following immigration proposals yesterday:
Impose a new $500 fee on immigrant visa petitions for the EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 categories.
Recapture unused employment-based visas from prior years for immediate allocation of up to 90,000/year. (Estimates indicate there are only 90,000-100,000 unused numbers to be tapped.)
Exempt spouses and minor children from counting against the annual cap on employment-based immigrant visas. (Estimates are that this would lead to an annual increase of 80,000-90,000 employment-based immigrant visas.)
Allow individuals to apply for adjustment of status before an immigrant visa is deemed currently available. (Of course, approval could not occur until the visa number is available.)
Recapture approximately 300,000 unused H-1B numbers dating back to FY 1991. As a result of Senator Feinstein's amendment, 30,000 rather than 60,000 would be available annually. (In other words, effectively raising the cap from 65,000 to 95,000 for at least 10 years.)
Impose a new fee on the recaptured H-1B visas so that the fees on the original 65,000 H-1B allotment remain unchanged but the additional 30,000 available annually carry an additional $500 fee.
Impose a new $750 fee on L-1 visas. (This was part of Senator Feinstein's amendment and was necessary to offset the reduction in revenue resulting from the limitation on recaptured H-1B numbers from 60,000 to 30,000.)
We agree with the AILA that these are not final bills and we have a long way to go to make these proposals into a reality. Businesses, academic institutions, and other stakeholders should keep working with their Congressional representatives to support the Senate Judiciary bill.

Comeon guys cheeerup, we will be fine. Our apps haven't come back, so let us stay patient and wait with hope. I definitely agree, this is so much crap, but I was so sick of this crap in the past itself that I reached a point where it is not bothering me much. We will definitely get the receipts before the end of this month. Just take it easy and have a good weekend

congrats Nanshi! Thats a long journey...but since its successful...we're happy 
On a personal note, the RFE on my 140 is worrying me. I shall get to know by Monday or Tuesday evening, what its all about. The last few days waiting for my lawyer to get it in mail and letting me know...has me worried. Since my 6yr finishes in Dec, quite worried...

This msg is for sugatahema
Sugatahema,
I see that you filed 485 as a self petition.
I have done the same thing.
While I have received the receipts for 485/765/131 for my wife, I have received receipts only for 765/131 for my application and not for 485. Did the same happen to you too?
Thanks.

suggestions please
Self applied Concurrent I-140(NIW), I 485 mailed on 09/29/2005
Delivered to NSC on 09/30/2005
I-140, 485, RD 09/30/2005
I-140, 485, ND 10/18/2005
I applied for me, my wife, and my kid on the same time. Me (I-140/I-485)and my wife (I-485)got the recipt notice and not for my kid. is there something wrong? any suggestions?
Also for the biometrics appointment, do I need to call or they will send the appointment?
Further my I-140 is NIW. For a back-up if I apply EB1-EA this week and if my I-140 NIW (that I applied before 09/30)is denied in future for some reason and EB1-EA is approved, in that case do you think I can use my previuosly submitted I-485? How this will work? your valuble suggetions please
