Q,
I understand your points and agree with your argument. I did not say Republicans are friends of legal immigration , I said people had bad experience during Democrats rule. BTW, I respect your service to the community . I am no fan of IV or GOP . All politicians are same including Durbin.
No worries my friend. I have personally beaten this topic to death because I strongly felt that Durbin who is jewish, and actually loves India and is pro-immigration was unnecessarily getting bad mouthed by IV.
As far as you and I are concerned, we are on the same side. Our perspectives may be slightly different but goal is the same. Alleviate this suffering of ALL backlogged folks. Good luck to you!

I really hope that some kind of additional funding is included in one of these upcoming mega bills to avoid this. This will have devastating consequences for the last 4 months of the year

BREAKING NEWS! Watch this space for news to evolve on #S386!
We are thankful to those who support positive advocacy. We will continue to fight for rights of immigrants in the backlog.
Is something in the offing? There is no noise from the other more prominent organizations from both sides

CIR is not happening any time in the near future no matter who comes to power so to look at that as a means to reduce the backlogs is a dead end. If current admin comes back, they still will likely lose the House and at a minimum there will be 2 more years or gridlock. Even if Biden wins, there are going to be far more important things to do as a matter of priority: dispense the vaccines, repair the economy and get people back to work and that rightfully will be most important.
I strongly feel that this must have been the other way around. Sen. Durbin has no incentive to negotiate after what happened on the senate floor. There is limited time before the August recess and momentum is hard to regain. Sen. Durbin objected to the bill last September and its nearly 10 months since. I am sure they have been talking all this time to break the impasse. Hopefully there is a resolution
All drama and tactics. The draft of Durbin's negotiation is already floating around. D knows august recess starts in 2 days and the Senate will have already checked out. He leaks things at 5:00 pm Getting Lee to agree without checking with other republicans will not happen. This when the Republicans cant agree on their own COVID relief package. Will they focus on the covid bill or this?....Lee will object if this thing is brought to a UC tomorrow.

Thanks. The timeline is tight to get it done in the next two days with all the other fights going on. Kinda crazy how the UC works though that the whole thing could be done and over in 5 min or someone can object and completely derail it.
According to the poster these are the parts that are agreed to. So they split the difference between the 1 year that Durbin asked for against the 3 years in senator Lee's March bill. Nasscomm may still have issues with it. The lack of increase in green cards was expected. The transition period details are not clear past the 5th year. The only sticking point is the timing of EAD issuance. I hope it is retained at 270 days because a lot of students can convert from OPT to EAD
Even if it passes, doesn't it still have to be reconciled with the House bill?
It is like having 2 parallel universes. On one side is hyper-anti-immigration environment, economy and unemployment issues like never before, and looming elections with its gazillion dynamics and calculations.
And on the other side is S386 and how it is perceived.
Even if the compromise is reached, expect S386 to be blocked, more likely by Republicans or the admin. Unfortunately the time for the bill was in pre-Covid days.
