House Judiciary Committee passed the SKILLS Act today (20-14). There were some technical corrections made but no significant change to underlying structure of Bill. Unfortunately Rep.Lofgren never proposed any significant EB legislation and specifically no alteration to spousal exemption or visa recapture
There is always talk of bipartisan approach in the House but a look at the final clerk record makes it hard to believe it can ever happen in the House

As I mentioned a few pages ago that in the middle of all the talk about illegal immigration,we should always keep in mind how far apart the 2 chambers are regarding legal immigration also
