U.S. Senate Passes Budget Reconciliation Bill without H-1B and EB Visa Provisions According to American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), on December 20, the Senate approved a conference report on the budget reconciliation bill (S. 1932) that did NOT include the Senate Judiciary Committee's provisions to recapture unused H-1B and employment-based visa numbers. The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 51-50 (Vice President Cheney cast the tie-breaking vote). U.S. House passed Budget Reconciliation Bill without H-1B and EB visa provisions early on December 19. Therefore, this news from Senate absolutely is not good news. Before the bill passed, Senate Democrats forced the removal of three provisions that violated Senate rules. Because the bill was amended, it must now return to the House for final passage. Most likely, the House will pass the bill as it is, without the H-1B and EB visa provisions.
