The greater danger in our lives is not that we set out aim to high and fail, but we set them too low, and still do.

What are you talking about?
Somebody here said Zoe Logfren was able to get her bill passed on wednesday. All I am doing is asking what was passed and where?

Am I missing something?

Just got my passport renewed at SF.
Applied in person and opted to get it back in the mail.

Got it in hand exactly in a week from application date...(pretty smooth)....

And i used 2X2 in photo instead of 3.5X3.5 cms....both are ok.

They will adjust it properly in your passport for you...

All the best.

Thanks for your responses.

One last question.

After printing the application form, I see that the photograph size is 3.5 cms * 3.5 cms that the consulate requires. But when I check for the passport size photo in walgreens it is 2 inches * 2 inches. Is it fine if I send 2 inches * 2 inches photo or should I cut exactly 3.5 cms * 3.5 cms and paste one in the form and send the other 2 ?

Thanks.

My I-485 receipt notice does not have a PD on it either. Is that normal?

Hi Friends,

I have a confusing situation here. Hope someone can help me with this. This is a bit complicated so please bear with me.

I fall under ROW. My first LC was filed in Feb 2005 under RIR and it was in BEC for a long time. So my company filed another LC under PERM in March 2007 which was approved very quickly and I-140 was filed for that.

Then in April 2007 the first LC (PD Feb 2005) was approved and we filed an I-140 for that as well. This was converted to PP and was approved very quickly.

Then in June 07 when my Feb 2005 PD became current we filed for 485 based on that older LC. However in the receipt notice the Priority Date box was blank which I did not notice till yesterday.

My other I-140 with PD March 2007 was pending till Jan 2008 and was approved in mid January. On the same day it was approved I noticed a soft LUD on my pending I-485 which has nothing to do with that I-140.

Now my question is, is it possible that USCIS mistakenly linked my recently approved I-140 (PD Mar 2007) to the pending I-1485? Is that possible? The reason for this worry is the soft LUD that saw on my 485 as mentioned above and the fact that my 485 receipt notice does not have a PD printed on it.

Is there anyway that I can verify which PD is linked to my 485 by contacting USCIS? I have heard of INFOPASS, would that help? If so how can I get an appointment? If as I suspect , the 485 is now linked to the wrong PD, is it difficult to have it corrected? Please let me know.

Also is it common to have the PD box blank in the 485 receipt notice?

Thanks in Advance!!!!!

Do you have a lens that will let you get in closer? I'd like to see a portrait style shot of one of the birds with the odd bills.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Nik, I was actually using a 600mm + 1.4x for the birds since Avocets and Stilts are pretty shy. These are just small versions, though. Ask and ye shall receive; here's a portrait cropped from another shot. For the full size (a little bigger, 1200x1200) go to my gallery :)

The date will move to sept 2002 since this is my PD and then it will stuck for another 5 years.

lol, but you have got to specify the exact date and time of your PD coz' the pace it moves at, ever second matters.

They did mention in one of the other threads that it will touch 2003 for ROW so I do not see any light at the end of the tunnel for EB3 I folks.

I am a july 2nd filer, just called the call center, call got transferred to 2nd level rep. She looked in the system and it's not in their system yet. And she couldn't advise any thing when I asked her what is the next step.

Did any one(who have not applied 485 yet) got their 140 Approved copy by FOIA request? :confused:

Its almost common knowledge that most of L1s are given to rank and file employees. Out of all the L1 people that I know, there's not even one that can be said to possess specialized knowledge. I'm sure there are a few legitimate L1 cases.

Don't give me this divide and conquer crap. A loophole is a loophole and it needs to be plugged, be it H1 or L1.

Good idea !!

I am with you folks. When I have added new members, I will let you know names.

Please keep this thread alive.

She/her friends can discuss this with her husband. If he supports apply for 485 and wait till the approval of that . She can file divorce after that.

If her husband is not supportive and doesnt want to add her for 485 then there is a special category (I dont remember the exact thing)/something like under certain circumstances ( which is like you are Abandoned by husband without no fault of your own and if you go back your hubbys family is going to harass you ...) This u need to check with a lawyer

Rajesh

the problem is my company is not willing to give me any documents unless i loose my job. Also when you mentioned ASAP, do i have to get a job within # of days

any suggestions.

Sounds like a typical day for my wife, except she actually manages to get it all done.

decide to clean off the front patio. I start to the patio and notice mail on the desk that needs to be taken down to the Post Office. OK, I'm going to the Post Office . . .

BUT FIRST I'm going to go through the mail that was delivered. I lay the car keys down on desk. After discarding the junk mail, I notice the trash can is full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk . . .

BUT FIRST I'll take the trash out. But since I'm going to be near the mailbox, I'll address a few bills . . . Yes, Now where is the checkbook? Oops.. there's only one check left. Where did I put the extra checks? Oh, there is my empty coffee cup from last night on my desk. I'm going to look for those checks . . .

BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back in the kitchen. I start to head for the kitchen and look out at my balcony, notice the flowers need a drink of water because of the extreme heat. I put the cup on the counter and there's my extra pair of glasses on the kitchen counter.

What are they doing here? I'll just put them away . . .

BUT FIRST need to water those plants. I head for the door and . . .

Aaaagh!!! Someone left the TV remote on the wrong spot. Okay, I'll put the remote away and water the plants on my balcony . . .

BUT FIRST I need to find those checks.

END OF DAY: The patio has not been cleaned, bills still unpaid, cup still on the counter, checkbook still has only one check left, lost my car keys . . .

And, when I try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because . . .

I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY!

I realize this condition is serious . . .

I'd get help . . .

BUT FIRST . . . I think I'll start a new thread.

Fool its not me, its the AAADD I was recently diagnosed with.

So if you run this query: select (current date - 26 days) + 180 days from sysibm.sysdummy1
you will get "12/28/2007"

So lets say Jan 1st to be on safe side, so this new year eve we can celebrate our independence from H1b employer. I marked on my calendar Independence day for me and lot of IV friends.

I need to get me that painter program :P

If it is as expensive as Photoshop I don't think I will be getting it anytime soon though. Too many other things I am saving up for.

And Edwin is the only expert here :)

IV is a public forum and recently its under the radar from various different organizations. So please do not use profanity in your language. You never know how it might come back and bite us. Please...please...please...

Yes you are correct. we should never lose our professionalism. no matter how worse it becomes, we should not lose our sight unless we reach our goal.

Every body knows about PERM system glitches before July28,2005, they gave an oppertunity to refile for all those who got rejected on software issues, so we do not need to go back to year old data and I am quite a frequent visitor to immigrationportal, at least 5 visits a day from last sep'05

Guys, I really appreciate he was able to come up with some number, but you would be able to decide how much this is helpful, I am not buying his PERM conversion denial rate
.

I agree. Sometimes I think I will be a little bit sad when I receive the green card because I would miss this daily excitments! As the saying goes "Its the Journey that matters, not the destination"
I have to disagree...in this case its the Destination!!!

Thanks so much for the info, satishku_2000. That is very good info.

My RFE, which was issued on July 20, 2007, was for my employer's ITR . My lawyer said the deadline is 12 weeks from the RFE date. I think she has not been updated on the new ruling. Now we only have up to next Friday to submit everything. I'm so so worried!!!

If you have access to the RFE from USCIS , try to get a copy of it . It should say how much time you have to respond. They will mention "On or before a date". I dont know if all the services centers have implemented the flex time response for RFE/NOIDs. Be on top of things , just dont let your lawyer or employer say anything else.

does he have the source of this rumour? does vdlrao knows anything about this?

My wife was allowed to travel on BA when she went from US to India. But when we were returning to US, the ticketing agent in India would not issue bording pass because Canadian PR can only be used if you are travelling to Canada and NOT to USA. The ticketing manager even called someone in London Airport to get the confirmation and after that they just denied my request even after showing the document that says Canada PR issues after Apr 2005 does not require transit visa.

I would say, get the visa to be on the safeside so that there will not be any troubles in the last minute.

Thanks deba and kk_kk...for sharing your expereince...based on what you guys say, the cheap deal i get with BA is not worth taking this risk. I am giving up on London transit..i will take Lufthansa or pacific route....thanks a lot again....

Immigration gurus, need your advice ASAP

my current H1B visa expires 03/07 . If I can fill for extension and while petion is pending with USCIS for processing can I travel outside USA ?

I asked lawyer to apply for extension first week of september . I have I140 approved and he will request 3 years increment .

my job requires traveling outside USA and I'm wonder if I can travel back and forth until petition is approved .

I know that after approval I need to get visa stamp .

Your quick inputs will be highly appreciated

thank you in advance
You can travel back and forth until you have valid visa stamp.You can do it until 03/07.
