Sen. Ted Kennedy to Write Memoir (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/11/26/entertainment/e200218S67.DTL&hw=immigration&sn=009&sc=275) By HILLEL ITALIE | AP National Writer, November 27, 2007
The memoirs of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the youngest and last surviving brother of the country's most famous political siblings and for decades an eminent liberal statesman and legislator, have been acquired by an imprint of the Hachette Book Group USA.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but a publishing official with knowledge of the negotiations said Monday that the agreement was comparable to the $8 million Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton received for "Living History" and the $9 million former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will reportedly get for his planned memoir. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity, following standard industry practice.
"I've been fortunate in my life to grow up in an extraordinary family and to have a front row seat at many key events in our nation's history," Kennedy, 75, said in a statement. "I hope my reflections can contribute to a deeper understanding of many events in the history of this great country and to a more in-depth picture of an American family."
Hachette's acquisition came after a six-day auction involving nine publishers. Kennedy was represented by Washington attorney Robert Barnett, whose other clients include Clinton and Tony Blair.
The book, currently untitled and tentatively scheduled to come out in 2010, builds upon the oral history project that Kennedy has been working on through the Miller Center of the University of Virginia. The project, launched in 2004 and expected to last several years, will include interviews with the senator, family members, colleagues, journalists, foreign leaders and others.
For his memoir, Kennedy plans to use a co-author/researcher, still to be determined. A "significant" portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity, including the John F. Kennedy Library, where the senator's public and private papers will eventually be stored, according to Kennedy adviser Stephanie Cutter.
The book will be published by the Hachette imprint Twelve, founded two years ago by former Random House editor Jonathan Karp
"The senator's book is not about the money," Karp told The Associated Press. "I think it's about telling a story that only he can tell. He's both seen history and he's made history. His perspective is unique, and it would be a tremendous loss if he did not put his experiences in writing."
Karp said that he and other Hachette officials went down to Washington last fall to meet with the senator at his home, where they talked in Kennedy's study, family pictures on the walls, books by Robert Caro and David McCullough on the shelves.
"He intends to be candid," Karp said. "He's a great raconteur and he talked so articulately and disarmingly about his childhood and some of his political experiences over the years that you got the sense that this is a man capable of captivating anyone with a story."
Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat and the youngest of nine children, was first elected to the Senate in 1962, when he was voted in to fill the seat initially vacated by his older brother, John F. Kennedy, who had been elected president. Ted Kennedy was just 30 at the time, barely old enough to legally have the job, and his greatest burden was living down the taunt of his Democratic primary opponent, Edward J. McCormack: "If your name was simply Edward Moore instead of Edward Moore Kennedy, your candidacy would be a joke."
Kennedy's achievements and troubles exceeded everyone's expectations. Brothers John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated, and personal scandal � most notably a 1969 accident in which a car he drove ran off a bridge, killing passenger Mary Jo Kopechne � helped prevent Ted Kennedy from becoming president himself.
But he also emerged as one of the Senate's most accomplished and eloquent legislators, respected even by Republicans for his knowledge and hard work, and for his role in passing bills on education, wages, health care, immigration and many other issues. Last year, he was easily elected to his eighth full term and has no plans to retire, according to Cutter.
Kennedy's previous books include "My Senator and Me," a children's story, and "America Back on Track." He has been the subject of countless works and cooperated with one author, Adam Clymer, for a biography that came out in 1999.

I gave first FP on 9/28 and lat month I took info pass and the officer raised a SR for non delivery of cards to which I got a reply that my card might have lost in mail. I called USCIS who mentioned that my card was never created and now it will be created. Now my online status changes mentioning that I have been sent FP notice again. I called uscis again and mentioned that I already gave biometrics
The officer said it was erroneous so ignore the FP notice and he will be requesting CPO for me. I even called FBI FP line today to confirm that my first FP was fine and they said it was fine and uploaded

Guys. Is this 7% country limit a hard or soft one ?. Assuming 1,40,000 total immigrant visas, India would get 7% of it and that is 9800. Then you have the preference category. Assuming there are unused immigrant visas from other countries, how do they get allocated ?. Does anyone has clear idea ?.

Hi,
I am currently a dependent E-1 on my wife's visa and currently have a valid EAD which will expire mid-2010.
We are about to file I-140 and I-485 and my question is, should I also file for a new EAD at the same time even if its still 8 months from expiry? I'm not sure what the difference is between an EAD under the E-1 visa, or an EAD when filing the I-485, or if it doesn't matter at all.
Hopefully someone can help. Thanks!

My law firm applied my EAD/AP/485 on Aug 13th. I got my Receipt Notices for all three.
My question is where does USCIS send the FP Notice and EAD?
Do they send it to my house address or lawyer?

Yes, even primary applicant can work on EAD & 1099. But in case RFE is issued for EVL the primary applicant should have permanent full time position.
I've worked on EAD & 1099 during job switch phase.

Hello,
I have few questions and seeking your advise on it. Currently I have a H1B and EAD with EB3 category GC application.
1. I am working on H1B for "X" company and they have filed extension for it. Now, I got an offer from "Y" company and they are willing to transfer my H1B.
Is there any problem for H1B transfer to the Y company while it is filed for extension from my current employer?
2. The new company "Y" is also going to file my new GC labor and I-140 as job has little different and senior role but similar to what I had in my previous H1B and GC labor in EB2 category.
Now, can my current employer "X" company remove I-140 or create any kind of problem for my immigration status, specially with GC?
Any information, you can provide will be really helpful.

Hi,
I am in weird situation. I left my previous employer because they didn't file for my concurrent filing during July '07 madrush.
They applied for my I-140 on 26th Sept 2007 thinking that I may change my mind and stay with them.
It seems that they didn't revoke my I-140. Since, yesterday, I got email notification from CRIS about I-140 approval.
Now a question for Gurus:
I am not sure but my previous employer may revoke it anytime. Based on the email notification and the online approval snapshot, can I port my priority date to my current application, with new employer, even if previous employer revoked my approved I-140 ?
Personally, I was happy with my previous employer except for the concurrent filing that they didn't apply. Now, I am in dilemma. should I should rejoin my previous employer or not?
Thanks,
Nik

My wife is working as a consultant, her client is ready to give her full time and also ready to do her H1-B transfer. Her H1-B is valid till April 2011 and GC process has not been started yet. Client is hesitant to start GC because they are new to the process.
Questions
-----------
1. Can she take the offer from client company, get H1-B transferred and start GC process with another company X?
2. If that happens can she apply for H1-B extension with client company early next year?
3. Should her PERM application be submitted before April 2010?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
I wish to scroll horizontally using two custom buttons (a left & a right one) in a FlowLayoutPanel, while disabling the autoscroll properties, as I do not wish to have the scrollbar. The controls that will be added into the FlowLayoutPanel will be subjected to changes, as it depends the number of data in the database.
So is there any tutorial/website that anyone can recommend for this related problem?
And also, I do know what to put for my horizontalscroll.maximum and minimum value as my flow direction is RighttoLeft.
Thanks for reading, and of course helping
