In early September, just prior to the terrorist attacks, the Senate passed a compromise measure, which the Congressional leaders in the House of Representatives also agreed. It is unclear whether the extension would be for the later or earlier date. Similar to the proposal passed weeks after April 30, the compromise measure passed in early September would also establish an additional onerous requirement. Also, for employment-based cases, an extension would only benefit those who have already filed the labor certification prior to August 15. Congressional leaders, however, must be reminded of its importance and of the significant negative ramifications should the additional requirements be included any extensions of the law.
