Where we post photographs/names of immigrants and the respective countries that they are from. That way many of us who cannot make it to DC can actually show our support and it will put a human face to the whole thing....

Be careful with your answer Owen... You already know what could happen with the thread... If everything goes as planned I'll be giving it a work out while shooting a gymnastics event this weekend. I can easly take thousands of shots during the event...
Last year I had to get up close and use a 50mm 1.8 lense with the d200 due to the poor lighting. I am hoping that I will be able to use the 70-200 2.8vr lense along with the d300. I have to stay a bit behind in the technology, so that I can afford new equipment ;) Who knows maybe I'll be able to pay for a good chunk of it with sales from the event ;)
I hope that it performs better in the high iso ranges as I have read.
I am excited... it's an addiction

I wonder why she would have to get her H4 stamped? If she has an EAD and the AP - she should just use that. Isn't AP meant just for that? - To ignore the stamping hassle and just return safe.

My PD is Mar 2003. Filed in June 2007.:mad::mad:
BTW my PD was Oct 2004 and my RD was July12th 2007, ND was August 15t 2007. I am sure this months NSC report will show a good advancement in their processing date.

Hi Friends.
I got the pink slip 3 weeks back with one month severance. So my target was to secure the job in one month to avoid loss of pay. Finally secured the job with 3 offers from 3 top companies.
Some tips if it may be helpful to others , that I recently expereinced
1. Read your resume thoroughly and see if there are anything that you can improve and make the resume with the core skills, do not make the resume of mix of different profiles, like dba, architect, project manager, make them all seperate.
2. Try to make the submission to the direct employer or recruiter on top of the chain. You can do that finding contacts on linked in.
3. Do not compromise a lot, this makes these recruiters to think that you are vulnerable for any exploitation, (happened with me, I kicked there butt after getting selected and telling them on why did I do that)
All the best to everyone.
Congratulations and thanks for the tips. This can be helpful to a lot of people.......

I applied AP Feb 3 2011 for my wife and i got approved mail and also checked website saying it was approved.
Application Type: I131 , APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity
On April 8, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I131 APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.
But i have not received the document yet and wife is leaving on 24 th Apr 2011.
I would like to know if she can go without and when i get it i can mail the document so she can come back.
Please help.
Thanks
Arun
She need to have AP in hand before leaving the country. I would suggest to take an INFOPASS and go the local office tell them the situation, they should be able to give you the AP there.
Here is the link to make an appointment for INFOPASS
https://infopass.uscis.gov/info_en.php
Another option is talk to your Congressman.
Goodluck

Hi all...thanks for taking the time to help me out...URGENTLY need advice based on your knowledge or experience...
I'm scheduled to travel to Mumbai via Amsterdam tomorrow morning. I just noticed that my I-94 card is missing (was stapled to my valid H1-B visa). My H1-B visa is valid until August 2011 and I have the original I-797A Notice of Action.
My questions are: (1) Will I be allowed to board the plane going from US to India? What should I say to the airline officer who asks for my I-94 card? , and
(2) Will I have any issues returning back to US? What precautions should I be taking to guard against this?
PS I did some initial research and do not have the time to I-102 since I'm supposed to catch a flight tomorrow.
Any information in the next 12-24 hours would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all, Vick

Condi is the boss , Emilio Gonzalez was just following orders.
We should not let condi forget her roots. Let her not forget that this country facilitated her immigrant ancestors to settle here. Being a citizen of this country, she was able to rise to this powerful position that she is now.

I was asked by my lawyer to prepare this document in a tabular format. The document is to list my entry and exit dates, I797 numbers and I-94 numbers in a chronological order. He also suggested to decode the entry and exit stamps in my passport and take a copy of all these evidences and placed in chronolgical order. I dont know what the purpose here, I had all documents in scanned PDF and it was easy for me come up with document with right dates.
Date of entry
or Extension Approval | Status | I94 Validity date I-94# Exit Date
XX/XX/XXXX | H1B | XX/XX/XXXX XXX XX/XX/XXXX.

1) EB3 people believe and argue that it doesn't matter.
2) From what I have noticed on , eb1 > eb2 > eb3.
3) But it's not like USCIS will process all eb1 cases, then eb2 cases, and finally eb3 cases.
4) In the end, USCIS is a black box system and no one knows exactly how they work.
5) If your PD is current, be happy and your GC should come soon enough. Why bother about the details?
6) The simple logic is, eb1 has higher qualifications than eb2, and eb2 has more qualifications compared to eb3. If you believe they treat everyone the same, then be happy and stick with your belief.
Well said..I agree with you!!

Need some advice from you all. I concurrently filed for me and my wife's I-485 along with EAD, AP and I-140 for each on Jan, 2007. At the time, I was on my H-1B, however, my wife's H-4 was expired as of Dec. 6, 2006. The reason for this is because I had changed jobs earlier, and the lawyers never filed for her H4 transfer. Only my H1 was transferred to the new company, and she was still on her old H-4.
She received her EAD and AP approvals on April, 2007. I have got my I-140 approved as well. Is there going to be any problem with my wife's I-485?
So, here's the timeline:
June, 2004 - Me and wife on H1 and H4 resp., expiring on Dec., 2006
Jan, 2006 - I changed jobs, got my H1 transferred, which now expired on Oct., 2007. Wife never got her H4 transferred
Jan, 2007 - We filed concurrently for EAD, AP, 140 and 485 (Wife's H4 is already expired as of Dec. 6, 2006)
Apr, 2007 - Both me and my wife got our EAD and AP approved
July, 2007 - I got my 140 approved
Currently - waiting on our I-485
Question - Would their be a problem with my wife's 485 as she was out of status (but not illegal), when she filed for 485?
Thanks a lot.
H4 visa could be expired but was she having a valid I-94? I-94 is the one which validates her stay, if she had a valid I-94 then it should not be an issue...

It is your employer how have to support your H1B renewal inform him before itself.
If EAD is expired you will not be able to work until you get extension but since you are working for the same employer and if your H1 gets extension approval then I think you can switch from EAD to H1B even after EAD gets expires.

Hey Fellow IVers who had filed application at NSC and it was transferred to CSC and back to NSC pls. take the poll and keep updating your statistics!
As this poll is specifically for the cases transferred from NSC -- CSC --- NSC, can you add more options, like the receipt notices generated between Aug 25 to Sept 10, Sept 11 to Sept 25 and Sept 25 to current.
There would be lot of people in these three categories.
Very much intrested in knowing status of all the cases that have transferred from NSC to CSC and back to NSC.

We have couple of threads covering it.
1. Copy of I485
2. Copy of both side of EAD (and for faster processing, upper part of mailer, in which EAD came)
3. Copy of Passport Photo page and last Visa Page (Serves as federal id)
4. Copy of DL (other id)
5. EAD filing receipt copy
In one or two business days, you may be able to see on line status and LUDs. Soon you should be receiving paper receipt followed by FP notice.
In case of E-Filing the EAD ,
1) I didnot understand why we have to send copy of DL and Passport photo page. The confirmation reciept clearly says "DO NOT mail photos or copies of identification unless requested to do so by USCIS."
Do you guys think, we have to send these two copies? I am confused now. Could you guys please advise.
2) Also when E-filing for myself and spouse, Is it ok, If I send both of our supporting documents in one package ? or is it better to send them separately.

We applied for SSN today, they said the same thing that it should not be a problem to get SSN. But i guess the best option would be to refile instead of waiting for renewal as i plan to use my EAD and work.
