Usually if it is placed in the calendar means it will come to the floor for voting, remember in the house, they placed in the calender as per today's agenda the voting will be on by 5:30 pm, no idea whether the bill will comeup for voting today! Just wait until 7:30 pm this evening. Hoping for the best.CAn anyone of you enlighten me...what does this mean( sorry for me being so dumb
So apparently H.R. 3012 was read a second time today (I got this link off of **):
http://gov.mtopgroup.com/ref/art1/senate-live.htm
The following bills were read en bloc for a second time:
H.R. 440 (To provide for the establishment of the Special Envoy to Promote Religious Freedom of Religious Minorities in the Near East and South Central Asia).
H.R. 3012 (Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2011).
The bills were read for a second time. Further readings were objected to and the bills were placed on the calendar.
What does this mean?
TSC || PD: Aug 08 2007 || Receive date: Nov 08 || EAD/AP: Jan 24 || RFE for birth certificate: Feb 27 || Response received: Mar 5 || CPO email: Mar 13
Update from oh law firm:
01/23/2012: H.R. 3012 Update in the U.S. Senate
The Senate convened today. In the today's session, H.R. 3012 (Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2011) was read for a second time. Further readings were objected to and the bill was placed on the calendar. In a way way, it is a positive news to see resolution of this bill soon. It is interesting to see whether Sen. Harry Reid, Majority Leader, will introduce Motion for Cloture to break the potential filibuster by Senator Chuck Grassley.
Thank you for the reply...
Does any one know what - 'Completed the Rule 14' process means ?
yup, there is a long list of legislations on general orders calendar, i hope 3012 will move on the floor soon..,,i m not sure where is ** s advocacy dept. doing to push 3012,.we still need more grassroots advocacy efforts from immigration community.
Senate passed only 90 bills total in 2011 (lowest since 1995) and this is n election year,,,so this year also senate probably won't be too active...
.it seems like the movement in Eb2 has slowed down our push for this bill,,, come on people i request you not to leave the push for 3012 right now even though if you are current or if you have already received EAD/GC etc...lets have another round of emails/letters to senators
Thank you,

It means, they were able to avoid the bill from going to a subcommittee (where it would have stalled or would have been dead) and now it is directly placed on senate calendar.Does any one know what - 'Completed the Rule 14' process means ?
There is no update on the debate/vote yet. let s hope it will happen this week and will pass without any amendments
RIN 1615-AB92 - rule for giving EAD to H4 spouses( of H1 primaries with approved i-140) seems to be updated.
http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAg...&RIN=1615-AB92
The NPRM date was 03/00/2012 earlier.Now it has been updated to 01/00/2012.
Does anyone know what it means?
and it says that it is related to RIN 1615-ZB03 . I could not find any reference to 1615-ZB03. What is this RIN 1615-ZB03 about?
oh law reported this news yesterday,,,also wrote "It appears there is no change for this plan and may be initiate the rule-making process soon"
there are 2 rules with the same RIN - number and one was updated on 01/00/2012 and other on 03/00/2012. I don't understand the date format and what does "00" mean.

I pray to god that HR3012 be taken up today, after seeing that there are so many bills on general order "Read the second time and placed on the calendar" and still waiting for the vote. It may be the lawmaking priorities (advocacy/lobbying/majority's agenda) or the rift between both parties in House and Senate.

01/00/2012 ...meaning any day during Jan 2012
Prayers and wiriting to your senators directly through printed letters makes lot of difference. H.R.3012 is almost at the end of the legislative process. only thing we need to know is whether Grass Uncle will go for a filli buster or not? and if it is .. then whether Sen.Majority leader is ready for a cloture vote appointment?, or if any amendment with mutual agreement with GUncle. so that this can be passed without much issues,. Legislative process takes its own sweet time. But We should contact our Senators and make them aware of this issue.
if it is Jan 2012, I think it should be posted in Federal Register in Jan 2012. But I see the column for FR entry as NO.01/00/2012 ...meaning any day during Jan 2012
and after FR entry, a RIN gets almost a month of comment period. Nothing about comment period is mentioned here too.
Hope things move. this would be a good rule if it becomes final.
sweety
Previously during June 2011 the date was 03/00/2012. I think they are now ready with the Notice to publish in the Federal Register for 60 days comment period. My gut feeling says the whole process would be get done by March 2012.
Hope your words come true Kanmani
But when I looked at previous RINs which became final via the NPRM route, theres almost 1 year gap b/w NPRM comment end period and Final Rule.
Considering CO's intention to give EAD to as many ppl as possible, I agree with you. This might - just might - be a rule soon.
They had the same kind of RIN back in 2009 to apply for I-485 without the date being current. GUncle wrote a letter to Mr.Mayarkoas, aslo his tails as officers in USCIS leaked out the internal memo to the media, and that plan is in the dust bin. Wishing all the best to this plan. Heads should roll from USCIS there are lot of hard core conservative right wing people(as officers) waiting to chop any immigrant at any point of time, they just want a simple reason to do that, Denials, RFE's are most common nowadays, even at the stage of I-485 adjustment of status, lot of genuine cases are suffering.Hope your words come true Kanmani

Whether this EAD is equivalent to EAD filing during 485? Please throw some light...
NOPE
This EAD is equivalent to L2 EAD.
I-485 EAD nowadays is a combo with Advance Parole ( mini GC)
http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAg...&RIN=1615-AB92
The NPRM is still 03/00/2012 for the rule .Am I missing something?
oh no - looks like it has been changed back to March...I most certainly say 01/00/2012 till about 30 mins ago...
http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAg...&RIN=1615-AB92
201104 - this has 03/00/2012.
http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAg...&RIN=1615-AB92
201110 - this has 01/00/2012.
Latest has 01/00/2012.
Hmmm........ Interesting ....So there are only 6 days left to publish?
Very happy to hear that . But this shouldn't be a compromise to H.R.3012
