LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
This week, we have updated our advocacy page at http://www.visalaw.com/advocacy.html. While there have been no major immigration bills introduced this week, Senator Diane Feinstein (D-California) announced that she will introduce a bipartisan bill to provide the INS with the resources it needs to help eliminate the current backlog in naturalization, adjustments of status and visa applications. The legislation also provides more direction and greater accountability on how the INS uses funds appropriated by Congress. Senator Feinstein has indicated that the Clinton Administration agrees with many of the bill’s provisions. We will provide additional information as soon as the legislation is introduced.
