Search SDL its a nice way to learn graphics and moving imges and such.

Whoa! The guy says he wants to learn Win32 and you point him at SDL? Interesting! :)

Everything that you want to do can be achieved without touching DirectX or OpenGL (and hence SDL), and using them will only confuse you if you're looking to learn to write Windows code.

I'd recommend attempting your problem using nothing but Win32 and the core C++ functionality - IMHO, you should avoid muddying the waters with other APIs.

Just my $0.02.

I found ICICI money2india better than CITIBANK (rate wise). I have been using ICICI money transfer for last 4 years!

I would like to know anything better too!

Pappu: Can we do anything about it? It does seem to be a good bill.
If voting on the website really has any impact, why can't we do it?

My company is layingoff people. We have been through 5 rounds of layoffs. They have asked all the H1Bs to hold off until about 6 months after the final layoff is over. They have issued written memos to all my cols in H1B stating this reason. Truly unfortunate.

I think some of the I140 dates went backwards in Nebraska. I can't understand how it can move backwards...Some moved just a few days even though the list is updated after 2 months!

Listen to

i have signed non compete , but when i signed it , he explained me that i should not go to the client through some other vendor , but i can join end client as end client has contract with Prime vendor that they can hire me full time .

But now he is claiming that i cant join full time with the client as well.

During my stay with that employer , he newer paid me on time and once he held my paycheck , just to harass me.

Do you think that these grounds fall under employee undue stress to be sufficient to turn down Non Compete in court ?

Congrats!!!

I guess timing really matters......and you were at the right place at the right time....

I have got my case approved as well. I also received my GC cards. Thanks for all the info and Best of Luck,

Congrats.
Labor filing date(not approval date) is your PD.What was the filing date?

It is EB2, labor approval date is my PD - No idea, why profile does not show up.

Can you put the exact working of the status ?

Is it one of the following ?

Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

or

Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.

or

something else.

Does the status 'Document mailed to applicant' mean a RFE?.:eek:

I remember reading somewhere on USCIS website and this forum that FP taken in late 2007 (probably for all July 2007 filers) will last for the duration of AOS application...

This must be for bad FP or for missing FP for self or any family member...


I posted the following at another forum on this topic:


USCIS is developing the Biometrics Storage System (BSS) w hich will allow the re-use of fingerprints and, if an application or petition has not been adjudicated within the fifteen month validity period, USCIS will be able to simply re-submit the stored fingerprints to the FBI, without any involvement of the applicant or petitioner. See 72 FR 17172 (Apr. 6, 2007) (establishing a new system of records).

It is from this link:
http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=c9aecd408423b3f800b01aa0c83db a52


Further research showed that the BSS (Biometrics Storage System) actually went into effect on May 7, 2007.



DATES: The established system of
records will be effective May 7, 2007
unless comments are received that
result in a contrary determination.

This is from FR 17172 which you can find at:

If employer or attorney are not helpful then there are high chances that they are hiding something, may have communicated to you I-140 approved in EB-2 whereas in real EB-3. One of my friend already have experinced same problem, EB-3 instead of EB-2. His company is in Jersey and the name starts with N.

Another reason why employer is hiding (or don't want to share) suspecting that you can leave him.

Be careful and try some way (as suggested above) to know about your I-140. All the best.

It'd be helpful for readers if you please update your profile with your case details.

When did this happen? Why wasn't such a major policy change communicated on the Home Page?!

Is "Bill Pay" option ever going be re-instated?!!

This thread is being closed as posted earlier in the thread. There will be mini action items posted in future by leaders of this initiative. Please participate on those initiatives.

What makes you think so?

For all those whose PDs became current in June visa bulletin, It would be nice if most of you can hold off for about 10 days in june to file I-485 (485 may or may not include application for EAD and advance payrole), then USCIS may move the PDs further in july visa bulletin on both EB2 and EB3 to not loose visa numbers again this year.

I-485 filing date doesn't matter while issuing the Visa Number (Even if you file I-485 on June 31st). Visa Numbers are allocated based on the priority date.

Don't count on USCIS to do something to eliminate backlog. They are idiots and inefficient morons.


Please tell us what made yourself to file on NIW category.

Start worrying about LC approval notice and start working about AOS.

Aaj kal nav jawanoku, ye kya ho raha hi?

What?!

qualified_trash is correct: call your lawyer and discuss with him or her.

The point to note is this: When you apply for extension, you send your current i-94 copy. After sending the application in, when you travel, you get new i-94 and a new stamp in your passport. After you come back, you get your extension approved. Say you go to get your visa stamped based on your extension approval: if the consular is an astute observer, the fact that you travelled while your petition is pending will become obvious, which may lead to problems. USCIS assumes that you would not be travelling but doesn't USUALLY pause to check it with you. That is the job for the consulars who give you the stamp or those at the port of entry. Most probably, you might be asked to give copies of all the past i-94. In the case of ASHISMAITY it would be interesting to know whether that person got the stamp updated. Of course, the answer is going to add to your confusion unless you ask your lawyer.
