12/09/2006: Good Bye, Lame Duck!

The Congress closed its 109th Congress curtain after passing Continuing Resolution to fund the government until February 15, 2007 pending Appropriation legislations for each department. SKIL bill failed to make it and no legislation was passed to give a relief to the current H-1B problem. All legislative bills that failed to make it until today will automatically lapse and the bills will have to be reintroduced in the new Congress.
The employment-based immigrant community may face a risk of most of the EB-immigration bills being stuck in the CIR, probably other than H-1B relief legislation following the same path of S.1932. It is extremely unfortunate that the SKIL did not make it during the Lame Duck Congress. The EB-quota system is so choked that it is likely that EB-immigrants may have to go through a frustrating and agonizing experience for a while.
