Printing Office's Work Stacks Up (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/03/AR2007040301829.html), By Lyndsey Layton, Washington Post Staff Writer, Wednesday, April 4, 2007
The Congressional Record, for instance, is printed daily and captures every debate, vote, parliamentary maneuver, tribute to a fife-and-drum corps, post office naming, and utterance by members on the floor of the House and the Senate. It averages 250 pages.
Ordinarily, the legislative process is paper-intensive. From the moment a bill is introduced by a member of Congress to its signature on parchment paper by the president, the printing office must print 10 different documents related to that piece of legislation, often doing the work overnight.
The agency is producing 3 million or 4 million pages a week for Congress from its 1.5 million-square-foot North Capitol Street headquarters, the largest information-processing, printing and distribution facility in the world. Tapella could not say how that compares with the workload under the last Congress.
All the talk of paper led some members of the panel to question why the printing office, which was created in 1813 when printing was a central tool in communication, hasn't gone all-electronic.
"Are you completely transitioning to a digital system as some point?" the subcommittee chairman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.), asked during a hearing.
The printing office is in the middle of a $29 million technological shift that will allow it to store and maintain all federal documents electronically, Tapella said. About 92 percent of everything it publishes now is available in an electronic format, said Michael L. Wash, the agency's chief technical officer. The agency produced its first online edition of the Congressional Record two weeks ago.
But Turri said the printing office will stick with paper until Congress directs it to do otherwise.
"It's kind of like the newspaper business," said Rep. Zach Wamp (R-Tenn). "They know things are going electronic, but they know people are going to want to read their newspaper with their coffee."

1USD = 39B
39 baht to the dollar! when did that happen?!!!
(JK, I was in Thailand back in '76 and it was I think 23 to $1)
It was an interesting place to celebrate turning 21 with your best friend.....

-One highly-skilled professional's package, hand-delivered by employer's attorney on July 2, monday morning to USCIS (NSC) was apparently not accepted
- One would expect that they open the package and send it back with a letter stating a reason for refusal
- What evidence can an applicant present in such a situation that his package was attempted to be delivered? (no fedex tracking number or other such reference).

Though not directly related with immigration, I really think everyone should see this movie and hope they would not get into a mess by some sudden medical emergency and the related medical costs. I guess we are ok as long as we work some big company providing reasonable health coverage. Bench time with the desi firms could be a wrong time to get sick.
Moore is somewhat one sided but the scam that this is, I can forgive him for it

I'm currently on H1B with a pending employment based I485 (EB3 category). I married my wife (USC) a year and an half ago and we decided to file a family based I1485 petition. We are currently preparing the forms and we have a few questions.
1. I485: Application Type Question: In my employment based I485, the option a. was selected for Application Type (An immigrant petition giving me an immediately available immigrant visa number that has been approved). What should we choose for this family based petition.
2. I765: (a) Applying For: When the company applied for employment based 485 few years ago, I got my EAD. I never used EAD as I always had my H1B. Hence, should I select "Permission to accept employment" or "Renewal of my permission to accept employment (attach previous employment authorization)"?
(b) Question 16: Eligibility under 8 CFR 274a.12 ( ) ( ) ( ). For my employment based application, it was (C) (9) ( ). What should it be for my family based application now?
Thanks in advance.

I see the following address in the I-485 form. But it is a PO Box address.
P O Box 87485
Lincoln NE 68501-7485
I think Fedex will not accept PO Box address. Is it true ? So, what is the correct address for sending I-485 and I-765 using Fedex Overnight ?
Please help me.

hi amol
are you aware of the PACE bill? I am concerned that current PhD graduates and life science PhD graduates appear to be excluded from the adjustment of status benefits proposed in the bill for doctoral candidates. I have drafted a letter and would definitely like IV to publicize it.

Hi,
My L1B visa & petition with Company A runs upto Sep this year.
I'm applying for H1B petition with company B this year.
my current Company A will try to go for L1B petition extension, so that I can continue being here beyond september.
My concern is if these 2 will clash with each other ?
One of my friends said that whichever petition gets approved latest - will be the one that holds good.
So if L1B extension gets approved after h1B, will that negate H1B ?
and vice-versa ..
Thanks in advance.

Interim EAD's are no longer an option since Sep 2006
In case of emergency travel it is possible to get AP from local office
But in case of extreme emergency like death in the family, funeral etc
