Statement by the President on Commonsense Immigration Reform
This afternoon, Senators Schumer and McCain briefed me on the bipartisan immigration reform bill that they have drafted with their colleagues in the Senate. This bill is clearly a compromise, and no one will get everything they wanted, including me. But it is largely consistent with the principles that I have repeatedly laid out for comprehensive reform. This bill would continue to strengthen security at our borders and hold employers more accountable if they knowingly hire undocumented workers.
Asylum Interview
Well, for my it was a long time ago, but normally the IO will ask you for your ID, passport. IO will have on his/her desk all the package that you sent before; at this time you are allow to add any information that you consider might be relevant on your case. Then after this part is done IO starts asking you questions about your case, like dates, names , cities, organizations, etc....most of lawyers advise to answer only what they are asking, not to use many words...................just go to the point. Also of course go well dressed and bring all the papers that you think might need.

My Oath experience in Cadman Plaza
I had my oath ceremony at Cadman Plaza on April 5th, 2007. Reached there around 7:45 AM when they had already begun seating people inside the court room. Once they seated everyone, they had people come in and sign their Naturalization certificate and verify their information (date of birth) and sign their full name. People were seated and also called in the order in which they had arrived. First come - First serve basis.

Changes in Issuing H-1B Visas to Affect Indian IT Firms
As reported by The Indian Express:
The proposed changes in the issuing of H-1B visas, the highly sought after US work permits, will badly affect the Indian IT firms which depend heavily on these work visas.
The changes under the Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) put a curb on use of H-1B visa for those companies which have a higher ratio of work force under this category.
Most of the Indian companies will fall under this classification.
Senate Immigration Reform Bill may be introduced by Thursday 11 April
10 April 2013
The Senate version of the Bill is believed to be ready and may be introduced as early as this Thursday. It should not be delayed beyond early next week.

How Laws Are Made in the United States
During this time of anticipated comprehensive immigration reform, a bipartisan group of Senators known as the Senate “Gang of Eight” is reportedly nearing completion on a proposal for comprehensive immigration reform in 2013. A bipartisan group from the House of Republicans (“House”) is also working on legislation, and the President is preparing his own plan in case congressional talks fail.
