H.R. 2870, the “Adam Walsh Reauthorization Act of 2011”;
H.R. 1254, the “Synthetic Drug Control Act of 2011”; and,
H.R. 3012, the “Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act”

10/26/2011: Out of Six Markup Bills, Two Bills Out of Way, in House Judiciary Full Committee Yesterday
The Full Committee has been in markups of the following six bills, out of which two of the first bills were taken care of yesterday by passing the bills and ordering to report the decision to the full House floor. H.R. 3012 is listed the last and it is hoped that the Full Committee takes up this bill on Thursday's continuing markups for the remaining four bills. H.R. 420, the “Veterans' Heritage Firearms Act of 2011”; H.R. 2870, the “Adam Walsh Reauthorization Act of 2011”; H.R. 1254, the “Synthetic Drug Control Act of 2011”; and, H.R. 3012, the “Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act.” Please stay tuned for the 10/27/2011 markups of the Full Committee.
So let us all do our part and wait for the good news! Happy Diwali to all.
It also states:
10/25/2011: H.R. 3012 Bill Reaches Hottest Potato for the Employment-Based Employers and Immigrants
Congressional legislation monitoring website indicates that at this time the H.R. 3012 bill is the second highest hit site. As the House Judiciary Full Committee starts to take up debate of this bill beginning today, it is likely getting hotter and hotter hereon. Please stay tuned.
VERY importantly - Zoe Lofgren (Democrat) is now a co-sponsor... So the bill now has official bi-partisan support!!!!!!
Good news indeed. I didn't think there was much risk to this passing through the committee and getting to a vote on the floor of the House (although when was always an issue), but this portends well for the bill in senate. The fact that it has a Dem cosponsor may just get it attention from Reid that it wouldn't have otherwise.
Nevada desis, it's time to start making your plans to visit Senator Reid's office.

Vishnu ji - Now THAT is the Diwali gift I was truly expecting from Laxmi ji!!! This IS a pretty big deal indeed! Thanks for putting it up here!
Pedro - You are right... we need to prepare to get to the senators soon. Despite my lack of understanding of the details/politics/etc, having both Lofgren and Smith on this bill, makes it a pretty sure shot to pass the committee at least... whenever they get to it (hopefully soon). I have no clue what games will be played or will need to be played once this reaches the house for a vote. I hope this (presenting a bill to the committee) is not being done by the Reps. purely for making a statement that they understand the issues legal, qualified, employment based immigrants face. I hope they actually stand behind to get it passed in the house. With what I know, these sponsors themselves will need to garner support from other Reps/Senators and convince them of the need to get this into law. Having both sides asking for support for the same thing is indeed much more promising than it was a week ago.
Fingers crossed.

On Thursday morning (10/27/11), we are expecting the Judiciary committee in the House to take up our bill H.R. 3012 and vote on it in the first half of tomorrow's session. We expect the bill to pass with big majority in the committee and only 1 or 2 votes may go against this bill in Thursday's vote. This is big news for all of us and most of the credit goes to you for your support in terms of both actions items and contributions.
Hope this passes all the hurdles and becomes a law .....
Zoe is co-sponsor now. which is really a great news for passage of this bill.
now the next step would be the passage of this bill from Judiciary unanimously

H.R.3012 is up for voting after further amendment discussion ................happening now in the judiciary committee .
Update: Bill is approved by the committee and moving to House floor for consideration

great news
It is headed to HOUSE for vote
Alright guys i just started following this. But looks like some crazy amendments have been dropped and the bill only has one amendment which increases its chance of passing.
Pedro Jackbrown and other gurus on this matter please educate us what happened here.

Q
there were few amendments crazy amendments proposed..as i mentioned in my post earlier,,,removing EB3 category (40,000 visas) and making total limit of EB category to 100,000.
Recapture was proposed by Zoe but didn't make it to even vote, "W" visa didnt make it to vote:..i think there was one amendment by Zoe passed, i had to leave my desk when it was being proposed, so i didn't see that amendment,,did Pedro see that amendment?
KD , great news! Happy Diwali!

EB1 category was excluded from the removal of per country caps according to Lofgren's amendment. They agreed to this as EB1-ROW would have faced cut off dates if the bill passed as is. That is the only change. Rest of amendments failed including visa recapture. Per country caps for Eb2 and Eb3 will be removed if this becomes a law. MArkup had bipartisan support. Tough road ahead. Please call your Congressperson and demand support for this bill. Please Please do this! Bipartisan support for anything is unheard now in both chambers. So this is very special. We have one God sent chance to better our lot. Take action. Demand support of your Congressperson.
