Just wondering how did you get info from USCIS about your FP notice?
Because, I have got the receipt and when I called USCIS for my FP appointment (Called cust serv then 1,2,2,6,2,2,1), she said My info is entered into the system and they will send anything in mail. But she did not tell me whether there is FP appointment for me or not? How you do ask for that or do I have to go to level 2 cust serv rep?
Could you please advice!
Thanks

Its very unlikely that the body/staff of USCIS that is currently processing 485 and doing a really pathetic job of approving 140,000 I-485 files a year today is going to be assigned the job of processing 11 million illegals.
If that were to happen, those illegals would die of old age before being processing by the USCIS.
They would setup another office, actually many office to process these illegals, 11 million. That is most likely to happen. Besides, they would not be eating away from EB greencard quota. There simply isnt enough in there to do that. And I am sure lawmakers are not going to point 11 million people to eat out of a quota of 140,000 a year. That would take 70 years to process just illlegals. Do you think congress would pass an immigration reform bill that solves this problem of 11 million current illegals in 70 years?

Hello,
My EAD (based on I-485 for EB-3; PD - July 2003) expires in the first week of Nov and I applied for my renewal in August and got a notice stating that my application has been received and it will be processed.
I have not received the new EAD yet (status on the website says 'Initial review') and chances are that I may not get one before the current EAD expires.
Am I dead in the water? Both my wife and I need EAD as our H1 has expired and we have changed jobs.
Obviously I am worried sick,
Any help, pointers, suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Few Suggestions..
Contact USCIS to expedite the case. Usually they do it 90 days after they received the case. After this do the following..
- Contact ombudsman office
- Contact local senator office.
- Contact local congressman office
Good Luck.

[QUOTE=nirajnp;160331]Hi,
My Wife is currently on H1B, but for personal reason she wants to quit her job and take a break from work for some time. She plans to quit some time in october 2007. But she wants to start working again sometime next year around June 2008. So here are my questions:
1. When she quits her job in october 2007 is her status automatically changed to H4 or do we need to fill up an application to USCIS ?
No , you will have to fill I-539 - Change of Status form to change from H1 to H4, you have to provide your H1B credentials while applying your wife's H4 COS.
2. When she applies for H1B next year i.e. June 2008 will that be considered against the H1B cap ? If not, then can she apply around june next year to get her H1B, as opposed to applying early in April when the H1B quota gets full. Also if we apply in June 2008 will her start date be Oct 1'2008 or can she start working as soon as she receives her WAC/LIN number ?
Since it is not fresh H1B, she will be able to work on pending H1B status when applying from H4 to H1, her new H1B will not be from October, but rather from the time her status change from H4 to H1 is approved, you have to fill I-129 and I-539 forms.
3. When we apply for H1B next year will they require some H4 stamped on my wifes passport ? We dont plan to go out of the country for a couple of years so we will not be doing any stamping (H4). Currently she has her H1B stamped.
Appreciate your help.
Not it is not required, you will get approved H4 petition, but you will have to provide existing H1, new H4 petition while applying for new H1 and corresponding I-94's
Thanks

I went to Kanha and Bandhavgarh National parks, the last two times I had been to India. The december season is not the best one for tiger viewing, however; if you give it 2-3 days, you will see some activity.
I will recommend Bandhavgarh. Although not as accessible as Kanha, the forest has best tiger density of all Indian parks and hence improves your chance of sighting. The forest area is much smaller than Kanha, so you will see less of other wildlife, there are no bisons or barasinghas in Bandhavgarh, but you will definitely see tigers. Took 4 game drives, sighted twice, once two tigers were fighting ferociously. Captured it all like on Animal planet.
Kanha: Is a much bigger& beautiful forest, is more easily accessible. I took 3 game drives in 2008, no sightings. You have better chance of sighting other animals such as sloth bears, nilgai, bisons here. Spotting a tiger can be and in any forest will be a matter of chance. Kanha still has a tiger show in the morning in which if they see a tiger they take you by elephant to the tiger. This show is no more in play @ Bandhavgarh.
All of my 7 game drives were a thrill & most memorable experiences. You can take a flight to Jabalpur from Delhi and either forest is a 6 hr drive from there. Watching a tiger in the wild and the thrill to seek it was one of the most memorable moments of my life.
Or you can go to Kajuraho from Delhi by flight and Bandhavgargh is a 6 hr drive.
Have fun in what you do.

My Wife wanted to join a school for some course. We decided to apply for FAFSA to pay for School fees. I am not sure whether she is eligible to apply for FAFSA or not.
Can some Guru shed some lights on this?
By the way, she is on H4 but we have our EAD. She has not started using her EAD as of yet.

Mr. HarryOm,
I was really hoping to get my question answered thru this thread. Can you please open another thread for yours ?
Thanks,
ampudhukode
I just got me H1B approval Notice and copy of I-129 petition. There is nothing wrong with approval but I notice few things and have few concerns/questions to the group if some one had similar experience in the past:
1. Passport number was not correctly typed in form I-129 (however copies passport were sent along with the forms by immigration dept)
2. My Alien number does not show up in 797A approval notice as I have pending 485.
3. The I-94# on passport card does not match with the one on new approval notice.
Now My questions is :
Do I need to get this passport#(1) typo fixed now or its ok?
Is it ok not have A# updated in H1B Approval Notice? My wife's H4 have her A#.
Do I need to get my I-94# matched with the one I had in my previous notice and A/D card stapled in passport?
All this happened due to mistakes commited by our Immigration/attorney.Now she is not ready to listen and asks me to call customer service as she thinks its not her problem.
Any suggestions/experience are apreciated.

OK, I've got it all figured out. (I confess, I've got nothing figured out, but it felt good to write that.)
Spent the long weekend reading up on this digital camera stuff and I've decided to go Nikon. Made this decision because I've got a relationship with their systems and some good, old glass that can still be used. Maybe not the best situation with new technology, but certainly not useless.
My quandary now is whether to go with a new D200 or a good used D70. In the past, that would have been an easy decision. When these were the tools of my trade, I was always shooting with one-generation-old technology. When everyone else was shooting with F3s, I used F2s. When the F4 came out, I snatched up a couple of discarded F3s. Made plenty of fine pictures that way.
My concern now is the pace of technology change. Digital photography is in its infancy. One reviewer's opinion is that 1 digital year is about 25 human years. So, 4-year-old digital technology is from the stone age.
Is that really true? It sounds like the D70 is a pretty good, battle-tested box which, over the last few years, has made a ton of perfectly fine images. Is it worth spending twice the money to get the newest and bestest?
One thing that caught my eye is that it sounds like the D200 is quite a bit sturdier than its older brother. I used to beat the snot out of my equipment back in the day, so that was important. Now, probably, not so much. I did read, though, that all the buttons and doors and every possible opening in the D200 is gasket sealed. I live in Seattle, so any camera I own is gonna get rained on. That's a big selling point for me.
I also read that the D200 will also work a little better with my old manual-focus lenses; mainly in the metering department. But neither will let you swap out the viewfinder glass, so I'm stuck with straight ground glass. That was never easy to focus on and my eyes aren't any younger. Guess I'll eventually be investing in at least a few AF lenses.
Tip (or rant, depending on your disposition) Of the Day
(I'm trying to give as much as I take on the board):
As far as camera metering is concerned, it doesn't interest me all that much. If you're at all serious about photography, get yourself a hand-held incident meter. I looked on Ebay yesterday and they're giving them away. You can get a Minolta Autometer IIIF for around $50 or a Flashmeter IV for less than $100. This is the most indispensable piece of equipment I own.
All camera meters are reflective. Personally, I want to know how much light is falling on the bridge of my subject's nose. Skin tones vary tremendously, so I'm not as interested in how much is bouncing back.
No matter how sophisticated a camera's metering system, it's still giving you some kind of a reflective average of some part of the scene. That's usually a good-enough approximation, but it's not exactly what you're looking for. You're better off exposing for the light coming in and letting the reflections take care of themselves. 90% of the time, there will be one part of the scene that you want to expose exactly correctly. The rest can be taken care of by looking in the viewfinder. If there are highlights that are going to blow, move your subject or yourself to an angle that either eliminates them or complements you point of emphasis. When all else fails, you can fix extremes with post-processing.
I've heard folks say that using a hand-held meter is too cumbersome. Takes too much time in fast-moving situations. I call BS. Figuring out whether to use matrix metering or center weighted or 10 or 3 or 1 degree spot or histograms or whatever, then trying to guess what the camera is thinking. That's cumbersome.
I was a photojournalist and shot more than my share of all kinds of action. I always had time to take 5 seconds to get a good incident reading. If you're indoors, walk over and take a reading by your subject. If you're outdoors, stand in light similar to your subject. (No matter how far you are from your subject you're both pretty much the same distance from the sun.)
Anyway, back to my original question. Are there any D70 users out there willing to share their thoughts on this box? Has anyone upgraded to a D200? How did it work out?
Thanks again,

Tecnically I-140, labor cert belongs to the company. But it is always good to have a copy. I do not think it is necessary to have these docs to invoke AC21. Also, you may not necessarily get RFE for using AC21 either.

There are several things that can save you a bit!
You can do balance transfer on your credit cards in US every year for the amount you usually save in a year.
So, say you save 25k in a year, take that much amount in balance transfer on a credit card here for one-time 4% balance transfer fee, transfer it to india and pay it in a year after you saved that much.
You can also take loan on your existing car for close to 5%.
I took HDFC home loan in india, and knocked out close to 25k every year from it by doing the above.
thanks a lot for your response. I do not have a house or a paid off car here. I need atleast 40-50k loan. Could you describe the balance transfer thing a little more? I was under the impression that balance transfer is usually from one credit card debt to another one but I did not know that it works like a cash advance too where you can borrow money. Can I borrow 50k from my CC and payback that amount in 2-3 yrs (with savings) without much interest?thanks again.

thanks a lot for your response. I do not have a house or a paid off car here. I need atleast 40-50k loan. Could you describe the balance transfer thing a little more? I was under the impression that balance transfer is usually from one credit card debt to another one but I did not know that it works like a cash advance too where you can borrow money. Can I borrow 50k from my CC and payback that amount in 2-3 yrs (with savings) without much interest?thanks again.

You like my drawing? Thank you very much. :) I'm not much cop at the fantastic Photoshop stuff - a lot of these guys seem to be able to do them blindfold (Eilsoe, Edwin, I'm talking about you here :) ). I tend to stick more to line art. I did write a tutorial on how to do it for kirupa.com. It's buried under Flash MX - Special Effects - Line Art or something similar. It's cheating really, as I draw by hand first, scan in then trace in Flash. But sometimes you can get really nice effects.
I'm about to try playing around with Fireworks now for those animations. Stupid of me really, I've got it here on my PC, but I never thought of using it. Duh... Fingers crossed it'll work out. As far as I can tell, it's Imageready that's bumping up the file size...
