The reason why EB2 India is moving so fast is because people with 2001 PDs are stuck in BECs. Once they come to apply for I-140/I-485, EB2 India PD will retrogress to 2001 again. So the progress you are watching is an illusion.

Hi -

Thanks for the quick reply. I really appreciate it.

Ill give sigma a call in the am.

I tried nikon but they told me straight up they dont support 3rd party lens'



Sometimes Sigma lenses can have issues with different cameras because Nikon makes subtle changes to the way the camera talks to the lenses - changes that work fine with Nikon lenses but on occasion cause havok with third party lenses. If you contact Sigma, they should be able to tell you if an incompatibility between the lens and camera is indeed what is happening, and if so, they should be able to upgrade the processor in the lens (I'm not sure, but they may even do this at no cost).

If you compare the Nikon 18-50mm with the Sigma 18-50mm (your Sigma is the f/2.8 model, right?), then I'm guessing that the Sigma will be better. Compared with the more expensive Nikon 18-70mm zoom that is sold as a kit with the D70s, they're probably about the same (bear in mind that I don't really know, since I've only used the Nikon 18-70 personally). I don't abuse my lenses, so what the lens mount is made of matters relatively little. In many cases a metal lens mount may be a sign of better quality in other areas including image quality, so the dealer wasn't entirely full of it, but I would be wary if someone tried to sell me something other than what I wanted for that reason alone.

(not a tight crop, which is probably what it sounded like I meant).The difference was probably in my interpretation, rather than in your presentation.

There is a seperate thread on this. Look it up.
My 2 c:
- Stay away from Murthy. They've screwed up at least 2 cases that I know of. And their response is slow.
- Thomas Fan in MD: Run like you've seen the devil. I have no idea why malpractice suits has not been filed against him yet.
- Clark Trevor in CA - Guy is awesome but expensive.
- Ellen Krengel in CA - Decent.
- Gowda in MI - Slow, inefficient.
- Rajeev Khanna - seems to be good, efficient and responsive.
- Jon Wu, CA - Slow as hell but knows the ins/outs

I gave you points.

I do not care about money right now. All I need is a good attorney where I can sleep happily for some time. I will try Rajiv kahana, then.
One of my friend also got his GC from Rajiv kahana.

Thanks my friend.

Congrats. My EB3 is pending in NSC for more than 600 days now!

Recently, Tom Vilsack, Governor of Iowa appeared on Jon Stewart after his announcement as a candidate for 2008 from the democrat party.

Wonder what is the Governor's stance on legal immigration?

Hi Chirupally,

I had similar RFE where USCIS wanted doctor's original signature.
Doctor's filled out a new form (latest version) with all the information from the old form.No test were done again.But they signed the new form with OLD date.
Did your doctor sign the form with new date?
Also,are you including the old original form that you received in sealed envelope with RFE?I am include the ONLY the new sealed envelope that has latest form as the doctor discarded the old form.

Put ur head together and tell me is it too difficult to tell where he is from?

Put ur head together and don't speculate. He can be a US citizen, or a UK citizen or a Sri Lankan or a Senegalese.....stop speculating and defending your ridiculous post.

i guess you would need to share specifics with a reputed attorney to identify what went wrong in your brother's case. on this forum, there is limited help for a case like yours that requires professional handling.

perhaps someone who has had similar experience can throw light on this situation. wishing you best.

I think the best way is to bring her back, because its Preferable to go to the same doctor
were you had done intial exams

Moreover to the best of my knowledge this cannot be done in india

I had to call my wife back for the same reason in May

hope this helps

thanks for the helpful info. Any other had similar experience ?

The only reason why the House hasn't given in on CIRA is because of the incessant pressure of restrictionists such as NUmbersUSA activists. Look at how active they are. Granted one has to be a Citizen to vote, but the first amendment gives us ALL the right to free speech and express ourselves. That is why IV is legal, and that is why the least we can do is a webfax campaign regarding Skilled Immigration (SKIL bill) AND show up at local meetings with Congressman.

Believe me, if we don't speak up, no one is going to do it for us. People like me with 02 priority dates are going to wait atleast two more years, folks who filed in 05 may get to wait 5+ years for their GC. This is the way things look currently.

The Illegals like the Chamber of Commerce, the big lobby Ag, Hotel/Travel, Construction, Meat-Packing, Industries, the Catholic Church and big ethic lobbies like MALDEF, La Raza, besides millions of hispanic votes.

The other side also has the power of millions of votes and a LOUD VOICE.

We have nothing compared to them. You can see we are small fish...that is why we need to do all we can to make ourselves heard.

Please take some actions today .... and prepare for many more actions next week

DEAR SUPPORTERS OF LOWER OVERALL IMMIGRATION,

Thanks to all of you who -- in the two weeks since the Senate voted for a massive immigration increase and amnesty -- have been regularly checking your Action Buffet for new actions and who have been responding to the several Fax Alerts that we have sent you.

Now, it is time to really start turning up the heat again.

I'm asking each one of you to do at least one of the following TODAY.

Members of Congress are feeling great pressure from our side, but we must really escalate that pressure if we are to totally block all the immigration increases in the Senate bill. Thus far, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives has stood firm against the national Republican Party leaders and President Bush. We have a lot of hope that the House can hold the line against the amnesty/open borders plan of President Bush, the Republican National Committee and nearly all Senate Democrats. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN ONLY IF ALL OF YOU DO WHAT YOU DID IN APRIL AND MAY.

There are a lot more of YOU than there used to be.

Last Saturday, our Activist Membership crossed the 200,000 mark! That means we have almost 100,000 more of you working together in this cause than we had last December when we pressured for toughening amendments to the House-passed H.R. 4437.

Action No. 1: Send all the faxes that have accumulated on your Action Buffet corkboard.

We can tell from the number of faxes that have been ordered over the last two weeks that many of you have taken a much-deserved break from activism and not been sending the new faxes we have posted on your customized corkboard.

Please go now to:

www.NumbersUSA.com/actionbuffet

Action No. 2: Tell us when and where your Senators and Representative are holding town hall meetings

You should see a thumb-tacked note on your corkboard asking for this information. When you click on the note, you will go to a page that will give you good instructions for how to track down this information.

There is no central place to find out when and where Members of Congress expose themselves to the voters. In fact, they try to keep it as secret as possible because they don't really want to have to hear directly from you.

That is why the town hall meeting part of our Action Buffet is so very important.

NumbersUSA doesn't have the staff to dig out potential meetings of all 535 Members of Congress. We MUST rely on you to send us that info on your own Members so we can share with everybody else from your state and District.

Click on corkboard note to send us town hall meeting information

Action No. 3: Attend any meeting or event where your Senators or Representative are expected to appear

Nothing you do will be as powerful as attending in person one of the events where your Members of Congress appears, and then asking a question or making a statement about immigration -- or even holding up a sign giving your view on immigration -- or applauding another voter who expresses your opinion on immigration.

You all have become great faxers and phoners. But we must have many, many more of you personally confronting the Members of Congress -- especially the ones who have Immigration Grades ranging from F-minus to B.

See your Members' immigration grades at:

www.CongressGrades.org

If you see a thumb-tacked note on your corkboard that announces a meeting of one of your Members of Congress, PLEASE LOOK AT IT -- and make plans to attend.

Get some friends to go with you to ensure that you will have a cheering section.

And be sure to use the feedback devices on our page that allow you to easily let us know you are planning to attend and to give us a report when you return.

Action No. 4: Call some friends or let us know that you plan to visit the local office of your Representative or one of your Senators next week

These Members of Congress must have voters in their local offices putting the pressure on their staffs to block the Senate amnesty and immigration increases.

If you are interested in doing this but don't want to go alone, send us an email through our Help Desk form and we will put you in touch with other people in your area who are trying to make a trip.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a new way of your communicating to us in which you cannot just hit REPLY to our Alerts anymore.

We are not trying to make things difficult for you. But with 200,000 members, our staff simply has not been able to keep up with your emails. We have hired two interns for the summer to help Jon and Jeremy. But we also must create a better system of categories if we are to provide the level of service we once did.

So, you should always communicate with us by:

(a) clicking on the CONTACT US link in the navigation bar at the top of our web pages. That takes you to the HELP FORM link.

(b) or putting this address in your directory and regularly using it:

www.numbersusa.com/helpform

On the Help Form page, you choose the category in which you are writing and send us an email that way.

Thousands of people have already started using this form in the last month, and it is accelerating our ability to respond.

======================================

Thanks for jumping into this TODAY before you move into your weekend family and recreation activities.

Then, please, plan to do something Monday and during the rest of the week.

We will be sending you additional guidance on how best to stop the amnesty -- or at least keep it from passing this month. The longer we can delay this, the better our chances are of winning.

Thank you,

-- ROY

My I-140 was approved 2 yrs back. I have more time on H1 like ..2 more yrs.

I'm planning to use my EAD or do H1 transfer. So far I have good relations with my employer.If I speak to my employer about my plans will he be able to hurt my case like thru I140 or any otherway?

Appreciate it if you can help me on this.

I send my application via fedex today to following address..

For private courier (non-USPS) deliveries:
USCIS
Nebraska Service Center

Lincoln, NE 68508-1225

Thanks for the reply
I agree that your suggestion is really smart, I am a QA engineer and I dont know why exactly i wouldnt qualify as EB2....ignore that for now
if i get an I40 with EB3 and move to another EB2 employer
It will result in me losing everything except my priority date
but my employer might not give me any paperwork which is required to retain my priority date which is the case for many employers
in that case I lose everything and need to start from scratch
Am I right?..please correct if not.....What is the nature of paperwork required to retain the priority date?

-chehuan

Copy of I140 approval notice. You can request this from USCIS using FOIA:)

I got same response. Should i be concerned?

Thank you for answering.

Below is the response I got today in email. For the "additional review" part should I be concerned

The status of this service request is:

Based on your request we researched the status of this case. We are actively processing this case. However, we have to perform additional review on this case and this has caused a longer processing time. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 months of this letter, please call customer service at the number provided below.

If you have any further questions, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

Have a similar question. My 485 (EB3-I was filed in July 2007). Yet to be married and have to bring spouse on H-4.

My question is around options to keep my spouse here in case I loose my H1b status.

1. How easy difficult is it to get converted to F-1 visa?. (Does the university / program matter? I guess it would)

2. Can the spouse start the program on H4 then convert to F-1? Can this be done quickly enough after loss of primary's H1 status? (worst case).

3. Other thean F-1, what other options are there if primay looses H1 status (i.e. uses EAD).
thx

I have Master's degree from US and have been with the company for 6yrs. This is the response from my Attorney on porting to EB2 category. My I485 was filed during July 2007. What can i do to be able to file a new PERM LC for porting to EB2 category without affecting my I485 application? Please advise.

Thank you for your email inquiring about filing a new PERM labor certification (PERM LC) application to qualify for the EB-2 preference category. A final determination has been made on whether a new PERM LC can be filed.

Regulations that govern the PERM Labor Certification process do not permit an employer to file a new PERM LC application for the sole purpose of shortening the wait time in immigrant visa preference categories. Company will not file a new PERM LC unless it is clearly required by regulation.

We completed our research and legal analysis. The purpose of the research was to determine whether you can still benefit from your current case, or whether substantial job changes require, by law, a new PERM LC application to be filed on your behalf.

Our final assessment is that while some job changes have occurred, the changes are not substantial in the context of labor certification regulations. Please note that while the group, products and/or daily tasks in your employment may be different, these changes are not substantial from an immigration perspective and do not require a new PERM LC. In addition, portability provisions of the law allow considerable flexibility for job changes when an I-485 Adjustment of Status application has been filed.

This is not an internal policy matter, rather company's compliance with U.S. Department of Labor regulations that govern the PERM LC process.

Your new job duties must be more 50% than the current job...otherwise you can not file for new PERM

Wait for obamacare to pass !!

btw her location will be @ Portland, Oregon.

Well your temporary license is as good as ur old license. Does it have your picture and DOB..if so then take that along..passport should be avoided as long as not necessary(to prevent it from getting lost).

This is just a letter sized paper. No pictures. Some people accept it. Some don't. Even in Florida. It didn't use to have a signature. But I guess now it does. Last time I asked them and they said it is valid and should be accepted anywhere in FL. But, try renting a car with it.

Its worse if you have to travel out of state, and rent a car. I had to travel on work and it was horrible. Every time you use your credit card they ask for photo ID.

Count me in. No FP Notice yet.

i got similar message, but this was for Advance Parole not 485...

Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT

Current Status: Document OTHER THAN CARD manufactured and mailed.

On ... we mailed the document we manufactured based on our earlier approval of this case, and mailed it to the address on we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.

Your AP might be on your way!
