SB744 GETS OUT OF JUDICIARY

Good news, the immigration reform bill SB744 got out of the Senate judiciary committee yesterday with a few wonderful amendments. 
One great amendment included adding the dual intent language to students (F-1), exchange visitors (J-1) which includes foreign doctors, E, O, P, V or W. 
It also allows for a waiver for people previously removed in some cases. 
There was a settlement between Senators Hatch and Schumer on H-1B cap - to go up to 180,000 based on market demand/need. 
Also, increased portability for people applying for employment-based green cards and other provisions which are mostly positive. 
Now the vote...
