Grassley 不再擋 HR 3012 了 - 移民

通過HR 3012接下來得完成的步驟

(Posted by Gravitation)

The next steps are:

1. It's brought to the floor for voting in Senate.

2. It's brought to House again for voting due to amendments introduced in the
Senate.

3. If any amendments are approved by house, a conference committee of House
and Senate makes a compromise bill.

4. Compromised bill is brought for an up or down vote in Senate.

5. Compromised bill is brought to House for an up and down vote.

6. President needs to sign it.

7. USCIS begins rule-making process.


The first 5 steps have to be _completed_ in the next two weeks... or its
chances of passing fall dramatically due to beginning of the election cycle.

It has a long way to go.

He lifted his hold but insisted on an amendment as a condition. It doesn't
matter how simple or significant the amendment is, because as long as an
amendment is there, it'll go back to the house... and mostly likely they'll
add an amendment... and it'll either come back to the Senate or have to go
through a conference committee...

Anybody knows that it's like building a skyscraper in two weeks. While it's
within the realm of possibility for this bill to go fast... Congress
(especially _this_ congress) is not known for its efficiency.

One of the probable reasons Grassley lifted his hold may be that he knows as
good as anybody that there's a very little chance of it passing due to the
tight calendar in both chambers of congress.

My feedback: The bill has passed just one hurdle. We don't know the:
1) Amendments. The devil is in the details. How are the amendments going to
affect current H1B, I485 Pending, those who are planning to file for GC in
coming years.
2) If senate/companies etc are even going to agree with he amendments, if the
amendments are not granted, the Grassley will put a hold again.

Long story short, nothing progressive until at least 1 year. Folks need to
understand that the HR 3012 Bill was for removing per country cap
only.Grassland put a hold on it only because he wanted changes to the H1B
program and there was no other way he was going to get it. This is how
politics work.
