Bush, Congress Struggle in Public Eye (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/15/AR2007081501271.html) By DAVID ESPO | The Associated Press, August 15, 2007
WASHINGTON -- The Democratic-controlled Congress and President Bush seem locked in a perverse competition for public unfavorability, according to a new Associated Press-Ipsos poll.
The survey shows Bush's approval ratings at 35 percent, and Congress' even lower, 25 percent. Only 27 percent of those polled said the country is headed in the right direction, and 39 percent said they support the Iraq war, with 58 percent opposed.
While Bush's favorability ratings have remained relatively unchanged for months, Congress' support declined markedly between May and July, a dip confirmed in a poll of 1,003 people taken last week.
Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job after seven months of divided government, those surveyed were then prompted to volunteer a reason.
Of the 74 percent of those expressing congressional disapproval, 22 percent said lawmakers generally aren't doing their jobs. Another 20 percent cited a specific issue for their unhappiness. Twelve percent said they disapprove of Congress because lawmakers care only about themselves and their party, while 10 percent cited backstabbing and infighting.
Among those who cited an issue, the war in Iraq was mentioned most often. It was cited by 7 percent of those disapproving of Congress' performance, followed by health care, 5 percent; immigration, 2 percent and employment and wage issues, 2 percent.
The survey was taken as Congress was beginning its August recess, providing a respite from months of unsuccessfully trying to force Bush to change course in Iraq.
Democratic leaders have vowed to renew their challenge to Bush when they return to the Capitol after Labor Day. An autumn clash also looms over federal spending, and Bush has posted veto threats against bills dealing with farm programs, expansion of children's health care and energy.
"I don't think this war is going the way it should be. We're over there for nothing," said Richard Reda, 64, of Nashua, N.H., a Vietenam War veteran and self-described political independent.
In an interview, he said, "I think Congress should go over Bush's head and get these troops back here. There's got to be a way where they can override Bush to get the troops back here."
Maria Guyan, a 28-year-old school secretary from Struthers, Ohio, agreed. Guyan described her politics as "lean Democrat" and said, "I just don't think they're doing enough to keep President Bush from basically going forward on whatever he wants."
She said Congress should focus most on withdrawing from Iraq and improving the nation's education system.
"We definitely need to get out of the war, and we need to basically just realize we cannot run another country in addition to our own," she said.
But Peggy Grandinetti, 69, a Republican from Florence, Ala., criticized Congress for not standing by Bush on the war.
"I just completely disagree of pulling out of Iraq. I think we ought to stay there and finish the job," said the retired medical assistant.
Richard Henson, 58, of Atlanta, Ga., was among the Democrats who said Congress has failed to address a problem with illegal immigration.
"The immigrants are running bills up," said the post office manager, citing health care and school taxes as examples. "We have to pay extra taxes to support illegal immigrants. I don't think they should benefit from our services that we're paying taxes on."
Wes Kangas, 65, a Republican and retired banker in Vancouver, Wash., expressed weariness. "They don't seem to get anything done. All they do is bicker back and forth. After a while it gets kind of old," he said.
Republicans were more likely to say Congress wasn't doing its job, 26 percent, while Democrats tended to cite a specific issue, 24 percent. Among independents, 22 percent said generally that lawmakers weren't doing their job, and 20 percent pointed to a specific issue, a list topped by the war in Iraq.
When it came to judging Bush, 70 percent of Republicans approved of his performance, with 27 percent disapproving. Democrats split 89-9 in disapproval, and 68 percent of independents disapproved.
Congress, by contrast, was held in disregard without regard to party.
Among independents, 73 percent said they disapproved of the way Congress was handling its job, with 23 percent expressing approval. Among Democrats, a striking 70 percent disapproved and 26 percent approved, while Republicans split, 74-23, in disapproval.
The poll's margin of error was plus or minus three percentage points.

Hi
Your help on the matter is appreciated. I am EB3-I. I filed for I-485 in July-07. I have been working on H1. Now I am going to switch to EAD by AC21. My new job has same job title and job duties. They have another condition for job. I will have to have a Masters in 8 years of starting my job.Their basic requirement is still Bachelors but Masters condition is kind of extra condition. My question is does this give me any trouble for my GC process because of Masters condition.Another question is will I be able to switch to EB2 based on this.

Opponents of comprehensive immigration reform often point to the 1986 legalization bill as a great failure that should not be repeated. What they don't want to talk about are the great number of success stories for people who were able to become legal. One story that is making the news 25 years later is that of Ana Hernandez Luna who gave an extraordinary speech on the floor of the Texas House of Representatives where she told her own story of her life as a young undocumented immigrant in the 1980s. The Texas Observer reported on her remarks: Tuesday, after it...

My visa H1-B nd h4 visa was expired on june 30 2010. I have got an job offer and they filed my H1-B petition after july 20 2010. I have submitted my I140 and mine & my wife I485 applications in EB1 category on Feb 22 2010. The gap between the H1b process is nearly 20 days period. The USCIS has approved my H1 but my wife's H4 was denied.
Here is my question. Whether they would have kept the I-94 for me. How can we proceed with H4 denial situation. Please give me some suggesion

Hello All,
I will be appearing for L1 individual visa extension in chennai in a few days from now.
One the questions that would be asked by the VO would be "where and who do you work for". The second part is easy since i work for the petitioning employer rendering my services for their client. However for the first part of the question what appropriate answer can be given?
Can i mention the client name location in US since that is where i currently work although i am controlled by the petitioning employer. I would not be working from the petitioning employer work location in US. I believe the L1 Visa reform act of June 2005, tells that you can work from offsite location provided you are controlled/managed by petitioner.
Please advise as it would help me in responding with correct answer. Thanks.

not sure what you mean by the words "scrolling from left to right" but I'd be happy to make anything you need as long as it's relatively simple.
Can you discribe in a little more detail what it is you're thinking?

Hi,
My wife has a stamped H4 visa & I-94 both are valid through Oct 16th 2008. We have applied H1B for her which got approved somewhere in May 2007.
The Approved H1B documents along with new I-94 is with her employer.
We have some issues with the employer so we are not sure that we can get the H1B & I-94 documents from her employer.
As we also applied for EAD,In the mean time if we receive her EAD card and Travel Document for my wife.
Do we still need her H1B and new I-94 documents from her employer for any reason?
Any advise is well appreciated.
Thanks

Hi i've been reading the forum for a while now and I hope that you guys can help me out. Like most people i have more questions than answers.
I just got my i140 approved (Sept 24,2008 or so).
The LC was file around Apr/Jun '07 so i would assume this is the Priority date correct?
My lawyer tells me that while this is great, we still have to wait for visa numbers to become available to file the 485. Any suggestions on when is this gonna happen?
I know that this is somewhat linked to the visa bulletin ... how should i read it to understand in a few words, when is my time?
Once i've filed i485 how long does USCIS takes to process it?
On the other hand, i'm quite anxious about changing jobs. If I do, do I waste all this time invested in the process? any other way around that?
It seems like no lawyer wants to provide a straight enough answer. I know it's a lot of questions but i really appreciate it.
THANX A LOT!

Hello,
Here is my situation.
Status : H1B Visa
GC Status : I-140 Approved in EB3
Priority Date : May 2004
Years on H1B: 9 years
H1B Expire date: 01/2012
Please advice if i can change my employer now or it will be too risky. I was hoping to accept new positions if new employer is willing to sponsor a h1b and green card from begining. So i can retain my previous PD.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I applied for my I485 during the July 07 fiasco and also for EAD/AP for me and my wife. I just renewed my H1B for another 3 years and my manager just said that since I have my H1B, I shouldnt renew my EAD/AP when it expires next year since it is quite an expense for the company. My wife is using her EAD for her current job and so that will still be renewed.
Just wanted to find out if there can be any issues if I dont renew just my EAD/AP?
Also after filing for the I485 in July 07, we did our Fingerprinting in Feb 08. We had not received FP notice and had to go through infopass to get FP done. Since then we've not received a renewal for FP again. I believe FP expires in 18 months and we need get it done again. Should I be receiving FP notice for renewal or do I need to go thru infopass again?
Thanks,
MG.

I want to change my employer from A to B. B has filled for h1b transfer on 26-sept-2007 (I have fedex tracking number). Till today (9-oct-2007) we hv not received the receipt notice.
My expected start date was 1-oct which has been extended twice, i.e 8th & then 15th. If receipt does not come will 15th, then can I join the new employer?
Is there any way I can find out the file position/status using fedex tracking number?
Can new employer file one more application for h1 transfer under premium process?
Thanks in advance.
