    Does anyone think EB Immigration will be a part of the deal this time around?

    I saw a Fauxnews video where the anchor said that Pathway to citizenship for DACA was on the table. He did not mention anything about legal immigration. Let us hope there is some relief for us in the Bill. I don't see how democrats will allow Trump to claim victory in this round. Even if Trump agrees to everything that the democrats want, they see political capital in denying the liar-in-chief a legislative victory rather than getting their legislative priorities passed.

    But it looks like IV has finally woken up and wants to steal the limelight after having slept like a kumbhakarna ever since the shutdown started.They have a wierd 'danger ahead' post about some mysterious 'Religious bigots' who want to sabotage their Bill

    AILA is left leaning and will have no impact/leverage over the current Admin's policies on immigration. As long as the turd bucket S Miller is in there (my attorney's words), this is going to continue.

    I know we have been here before but the country cap elimination bills are being introduced in both Chambers today. Rep Lofgren and Buck in the house and Senators Lee and Cramer in the Senate. The usual hurdles as before remain but it is at least a start. We now have 2 rival groups IV and RHC pushing for this.

    I am not sure if that is the right way to do it. I would think it has to be part of the current Appropriation Bills to get passed in the next couple of weeks. Otherwise, it is going to be a grind just like it was before. It will never be passed separately by both houses to become law. I read on IV FB that they are pushing for the Bills, but have not heard anything from RHC about pushing for those specific bills. I think the RHC guys have an edge as Shalabh Kumar has a direct one-on-one type contact with Trump. He is the one who had openly aligned with Trump before the election and if anyone has the capacity to encash the IOU, it is him.

    From what I can understand, it will be the same exact bill with a new number(old wine in new bottle)!

    It is surprising we have no clue if any Immigration items will be in the agreement or not. I wish the IV folks or RHC folks would update us as to the deal so far..

    IV has said that their aim is to get the bill passed in 6 months which assumes that they don't expect any movement immediately. I read somewhere that there was a25% per country cap on EB1 and also a do no harm to current I140 approved petitions. I was wondering how that would work under the current framework

    Don't understand how the politics works. If its never going to pass, why all the 112 sponsors ?

    If the H.R 392 could not pass last year, there is no way, it will be passed this year by itself. The only chance we have is if it is attached to the Appropriation Bill in the next 2 Weeks. That should be the goal. For that to happen, Shalabh Kumar has to cash in his IOU with Trump.

    Nothing for Legal Immigration. Based on experience over last 8 years (since 2011). Nobody cares about Legal Immigration. One side wants the wall. Other side wants to cater to Illegal immigration.

    No body gives 2 hoots for Legal Immigration. If anything, they will find a way to put more restrictions on Legal Immigration.

    Sorry, i do not mean to dampen your hopes but it is what it is!!

    Focus on life and family (easier said than done..).

    I know the feeling bro. Been there done that. Got my GC 2 yrs back, so to me it doe not matter anymore. Was checking to see if anyone had any insight into the current Bill. I see IV still gathering 'co-sponsors' for the Fairness Act, but no mention of it being attached to the current Border Security Bill. If at all it is included by any chance, I can see them claiming credit for that, even though they have not done anything towards that goal.

    Per OH Law:
    Bi-Partisan H.R. 1044 Bill Introduced in the House 02/07/2019 to Eliminate Annual Per Country Limit to EB-Immigration Quota.

    But I doubt this will pass as has always been the case

    Kudos to you HPKI. There are a few others like you. But generally most people don't - and understandably so.
    I no longer provide calculations/predictions ever since whereismyGC.com was created.
    I do run this site only as an administrator. Our goal is to improve clarity of GC process to help people plan their lives better.
    Use the info at your risk. None of this is legal advice.

    Looks like there is no EB Immigration stuff in the current Border security Bill. It gonna be another frustrating journey for our long suffering brethren.
