3 Months of Tense Talks Led to Immigration Deal (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/19/washington/19immig.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) By CARL HULSE (http://www.nytimes.com/gst/emailus.html) and ROBERT PEAR (http://www.nytimes.com/gst/emailus.html), May 19, 2007
WASHINGTON, May 18 � Hours before a bipartisan deal on immigration policy was to be announced Thursday, a tenuous compromise was threatening to unravel, and tempers flared once again.
Just off the Senate floor, Senators John McCain of Arizona and John Cornyn of Texas, both Republicans, exchanged sharp words, with Mr. McCain accusing his colleague of raising arcane legal issues to scuttle the deal. Mr. Cornyn retorted that he was entitled to his view and noted that Mr. McCain had spent more time campaigning for president than negotiating in recent weeks.
The senatorial dust-up, described by witnesses, was just one of the tense moments in remarkable negotiations over the last three months that resulted in this week�s accord. Senator Arlen Specter, the Pennsylvania Republican who oversaw the talks, compared them to a floating craps game, with a changing cast of characters and shifting sites.
Lawmakers and staff members who participated said passions occasionally ran high in the dozens of meetings, with Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, sometimes using his temper as a negotiating tactic. Senators who had spent hours anguishing over the smallest details had little patience for colleagues who made brief appearances to offer their views.
�New people came in and wanted to revisit the whole deal,� Mr. Specter said. �That happened all the time. It was very frustrating.�
In the end, negotiators overcame political divisions and some level of distrust to produce the agreement that will be debated in the Senate beginning next week. Lawmakers said they forged bonds partly through the telling of personal stories about their own family roots, as well as long hours spent together and the prospect that the bill might be a last chance at reaching consensus on a major national problem.
�It was like waiting for a baby to be born,� said Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, about the negotiations. �On occasion, it was like being in mediation with a divorced couple. It was like being at camp with your buddies. It was feeling like a part of history.�
As difficult as the negotiations were, they might ultimately seem tame compared with the fight the authors of the plan now face. Before the language of the bill was even published, the proposal � a major domestic objective of the Bush administration � was under attack from the right for allowing illegal immigrants to earn citizenship and from the left for dividing families. The offices of the negotiators were under siege from critics who had the phones ringing endlessly.
�It is real easy to demagogue this thing, and some people probably won�t be able to help themselves,� said Senator Mel Martinez, Republican of Florida and another key participant in the talks. �We are going to have to stick together on the fundamentals of this agreement.�
The talks had their genesis in last year�s failure on immigration after House Republicans essentially chose to ignore a bill passed by the Senate that conservatives derided as amnesty since it would have allowed some of the 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States to remain and eventually qualify to be citizens.
President Bush helped plant the seeds of this year�s negotiations on Jan. 8, at a White House event celebrating the fifth anniversary of the No Child Left Behind Act. Mr. Bush pulled aside Senator Kennedy, and they went into a room off the Oval Office to talk about immigration.
A month later, Senator Jon Kyl, a conservative Republican from Arizona who would become an important figure in striking the deal, began meeting with other Republicans and administration officials to explore ways to find a legislative response to an issue with potent political and humanitarian ramifications.
When those talks progressed far enough, the Republicans on March 28 invited in Democrats like Mr. Kennedy, a longtime advocate of immigration changes, and Senators Ken Salazar of Colorado and Robert Menendez of New Jersey. What followed was a series of meetings around the Capitol, typically on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, as the lawmakers, staff members, White House officials and two or three cabinet secretaries immersed themselves in immigration rules as part of unusually direct high-level negotiations.
�To take an issue and basically start from scratch and write it from the bottom up is something I haven�t seen done in a really long time,� said Candida Wolff, chief of Congressional relations for the White House.
The first big hurdle was cleared a few weeks ago when the negotiators settled on what they called the grand bargain, the main outlines of the issues they were going to address. Major elements included border security improvements and other measures that would have to be undertaken before new citizenship programs were put in place; potential legal status for millions of illegal immigrants; new visas for hundreds of thousands of temporary workers; and clearing a backlog of family applicants for residency.
Republicans also won support for a new �merit-based system of immigration,� which would give more weight to job skills and education and less to family ties. The negotiators decided to adopt a point system to evaluate the qualifications of foreign citizens seeking permission to immigrate to the United States.
No question was too small for the senators. They asked: How many points should be awarded to a refrigerator mechanic with a certificate from a community college?
The negotiations were a roller coaster ride that continued until the deal was announced Thursday, with negotiators expressing despair one day and optimism the next.
�Wednesday evening was one of the most important moments,� Mr. Kennedy said in an interview. �The mood and the atmosphere were good. You got a feeling that maybe this would all be possible. But on Thursday morning, it suddenly deteriorated again.� He told his colleagues that �it�s imperative that we announce an agreement� on Thursday afternoon, or else they could lose momentum. The announcement was made.
In some respects, the lawmakers benefited from the Congressional focus on the Iraq war as they were able to negotiate below the radar, avoiding the disclosure of every twist and turn in the talks and pressure from influential interest groups. Those involved also said the deep participation of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff was vital.
The senators who put together the bill say they have their own reservations about aspects of it. And some of the regular participants, including Senators Cornyn and Menendez, have backed away from endorsing it. But those who have embraced the bill say they intend to see it through.
�We made a pact,� said Mr. Specter, who was referred to as Mr. Chairman even though Democrats control Congress. �We will stick together even on provisions we don�t like. We are a long way from home in getting this through the Senate.�

Hi,
My H1B transfer from Company A to B is denied on 04/22/2010 and currently I am working for Company B. Company B is planning to apply for MTR. Now I am getting offer from Company C. My questions are:
1) Is it possible to get H1B transfer on premium processing approved from Company C with EOS (Extension of Status)? Do I need to apply for transfer or New H1B with Company C?
2) Can MTR affect the new H1B transfer to Company C?
Will appreciate your quick response and thanks a lot for your great help.

My employer was planning on sponsoring me, and paying all the filing fees, but the deal was that I was going to pay the lawyer directly for the legal fees. I just found out from a second lawyer that technically we can't do that because it will drop my salary below the prevailing wage. Is there anything I can do to get around this, and still pay the legal fees? Is it completely against the law for me to pay them or is that just an "interpretation of the law"? The other possibility is my husband could pay the fees, but I don't know if that's allowed either.
Let me know if you have any advice - we have to have everything signed by this Friday.

Hey Jason,
You can't use lines, but you can use text instead. For a line, use an underscore _ or - or | or \ or / or >, and so on. for a circle, you can use an 'o'.

All,
Just Received a copy of my ETA 7089 from my HR. I learned that my Labor Cert may not have been properly filed.
The experience column
H6 - Is experience required in the job offered required for the JOB?
is NO
H14 - Specific Skills or other requirements says:
Qualifications include:
1) Five years of experience in Web Development ... and so on
H14 and H6 Contradict themselves...
My HR is dumb and the attorney had made mistakes for simple H1b filings in the past..
Any help/suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks all in advance

Hi,
I am in weird situation. I left my previous employer because they didn't file for my concurrent filing during July '07 madrush.
They applied for my I-140 on 26th Sept 2007 thinking that I may change my mind and stay with them.
It seems that they didn't revoke my I-140. Since, yesterday, I got email notification from CRIS about I-140 approval.
Now a question for Gurus:
I am not sure but my previous employer may revoke it anytime. Based on the email notification and the online approval snapshot, can I port my priority date to my current application, with new employer, even if previous employer revoked my approved I-140 ?
Personally, I was happy with my previous employer except for the concurrent filing that they didn't apply. Now, I am in dilemma. should I should rejoin my previous employer or not?
Thanks,
Nik

1) I am in USA on H1B.
2) I have accepted an offer to join companyA in January '07. They have filed for the H1B transfer a few days back. And I have resigned from my current employer.
3) Now another companyB has agreed to acquire companyA, and they will close the deal in December '06. CompanyB will be issuing revised offer letters to new hires like myself soon.
So even when my H1B has been filed by CompanyA, it will cease to exist on my joining date (January '07).
My question is how is the H1B handled in such a case ?
Can an amendment be sent to the original application saying its for CompanyB, and not CompanyA. Or does CompanyB have to apply for a fresh H1B ?
General qn : When can I change the employer -- when the H1 papers reach INS or when the lawyers get the receipt notice from INS ?
They are setting up conference calls with the lawyers soon; I was wondering if I could get some inputs from the experts on the forum as well.

A voice of reason in the GOP on immigration departs. He will be missed in this process. In the mean time, Florida's new Senator, George LeMieux, is certainly not sounding like a fighter for immigration reform. According to the Orlando Sentinel: LeMieux appears likely to steer clear of Martinez's controversial attempts to overhaul immigration law, which would include a path to citizenship for the undocumented. 'We need tosecure our borders,' LeMieux said. 'After we do that, we can figure what happens to people already here.'

Hi,
I am not sure if I am posting this question to the wrong thread, so sorry if that's so....
I was told by the lawyer that I needed I-140 approved in order to ask for 3 years instead of 1 year for my H1B extension. They filed the extension asking for 1 year, and a week later we have the I-140 approved. My current H1B expiration date is in June 2009.
Now,
1) is there a way to ask H1B extension for 3 years at this point?
2) If so, does that mean a new application, or an amendment/correction to the old one?
3) Is it worth the hassle to ask for 3 Year extension if it's possible?
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge/experience/thoughts...
