Bush Signs Into Law Act that Extends E-Verify and EB-5 Pilot Programs

On September 30, President Bush signed into law a new resolution that extends funding for all government operations until March 6, 2009. The resolution, called the ‘Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009,’ was passed by both the house and Senate earlier last month. The bill includes extensions for the Basic Pilot/E-Verify Program and the EB-5 Regional Center Pilot Program, both of which will now remain active at least until the end of this extension period.
