i'll kick start this thread myself :D

i am planning to buy a house, i would appreciate if anybody can suggest some good realtors in socal?
I would answer this:
The best realtor is the one who can give you some money back from his commission...:)
Dont rely on the realtor to determine the home price for you. DO some homework...compare homes in the vicinity and come up with a price thats reasonable and mos importantly AFFORDABLE to you.

Members should not write to them IMO. IV as an org should try contacting them for a face time.

You cannot even get tickets to Colbert's show(Sold out for the next few months). There is just the studio location listed for now:
513 West 54th Street, between 10th Ave and 11th Ave in midtown New York.
pls send contact info

My project got over 2 weeks back and I have an EAD. I am looking for jobs and the market is very tight.

So my suggestion - just don't relax because U can safely move jobs on EAD. Keep trying hard. AFAIK there is no difference in the interviewing process so keep trying hard for jobs

IfYouSeekAmy,

Can you please share your experience with them?

Thanks

Thanks desi3933.

My followup qn to this is ..

If I get my 3yr H1 extn approved (before 140 cancellation) with company B and company A revokes my approved 140, is it possible to transfer my priority date(of the approved 140 ..which is now revoked by company A) to my new 140 filed by company B?

Thanks


A priority date can only be recaptured from one approved I-140 to another approved I-140, regardless of whether an I-485 was filed or not.

Please check with your attorney.

Guys,

I just wanted to see if I can make a point with my thread and hence gather some support for the common cause,. ease the pain for EB2/EB3 guys.

I started this thread a month back. So how many of you, or those you know, lost their jobs in the last one month. Just a study. And wanted to press on the same point as the 1st post I did.
If you had lost a job, would you do more now to high light our problems..and participate more.. ??

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to get my SSN Done. I'm on a dependent H4 Visa and have my H1 approval .
I visited the SSN office with My I797, State ID and Passport : SSN officer straightforwardly rejected as I dont have my EAD card.
The Officer asked me to visit USCIS office to apply for EAD.
Please help me with this situation..Does a H1 get an EAD and then a SSN?

Thanks N Regards,
Sushie

Exactly the same as mine (except that I needed to copy whole passport)

Hello All,

Finally we got all the receipt numbers today. We (I and family) had filed at NSC on July 2; called USCIS today and IO said the data was entered in the system yesterday (Oct 29).. he also gave me and my family's receipt numbers.

This should give all of who are waiting for Receipt Notices some hope !!

I know its very frustrating; but be a little more patient is what I can say at this moment ..! Good things dont come easy is what I learnt from all this exercise..

Thanks all for your inputs and support ..:p

H1B, AOS pending @ NSC(PD- Sep 2004, 485 RD - 08/17/2007).
Yes, I responded in march of this year.Few LUD's in July and Aug but no GC.

Cmon ever since independece we have never been united on any cause. I see threads from Gandhigiri(sending roses)...TO .. "no work on 13th"petition. But cmon look at the responses, e.g. no working day petions had only 75 votes , of which most are scared to put there employer name info. etc.

75 here 120 there..do you guys really think with these numbers will make our voices heard .. On the other end lot of people are happy about the revision of the July bulletin and yes that includes the ones stuck in BEC (hypocrisy check! ) and the desi employers who perhaps were fasting/praying or something for this to happen... :-)

Its a number's game. We will never make our voices heard unless we can join hundred of thousands for a cause. I appreciate what IV has attempted to do, but it's an inherent problem with people like us, every one is out there trying to get ahead of the line. If given the choice most would exploit each other to take advantage. I mentioned "desis" perhaps, the problem we face is quite fitting to people from populous nations. I think we are looking at the problem from a very micro level(green card backlog).. The glut in immigration is nothing new and represents similar issues faced in India or China etc.

I am sounding completely pessimistic, but its the harsh reality. Perhaps we are not tuned to be united, we've been raised, bred to be just competitive and anything else which is a byproduct of competition.

just my 2 cents.
pls before anyone starts shouting at my post. Throw the hypocrisy out of the door and then reply.


It's unfortunate, but that's the reality. History says that "British took advantage of divide and rule concept in India during their rule." If the empherors/kings/people were united, that wouldn't have possible for the British.

I know their are few people really good, but the numbers aren't good enough. Hope and wish the coming generation wil, change the history. :-)

thank you for the responses. it does seem to be a bit of bad luck. i only have 20 days before my I-94 expires. are they very strict about when it expires or do i get a grace period?

for the first option (going out of the country), i need to get a mexican permit to enter mexico and that takes 10 working days to receive. that would leave me with about 1 day in which to fly to mexico and get a new I-94.

for the second option (I-539), that takes 45 days to process, so my I-94 will expire and i wont have a new one yet, even though i've applied for it.

if there's a grace period (is there one??) i might take the USCIS option since it'll be cheaper than flying to mexico.

thanks again for the help.

If there are any, they must have talked to some one and got it approved by now, because there is no order in approvals any way... :)

That is if they managed to locate the crate containing their application in the BEC warehouse .. :)

I wish my company attorney could understand the basic ENGLISH instructions. Worst part, still doesn't admit his mistake and keeps pointing to the receipt issued by USCIS.

Btw, I took Infopass appointment and went today to ask what should I do....given USCIS has issued receipt notice
The officer responded similar to my attorney's response, stating given that USCIS has issued receipt, they are working on my appl and I may not need to send the fee..BUT he admitted that the fee was required..
In short, still not sure what to do....

I think both your attorney and the Infopass official are right. The app fee is part of the initial evidence (documents) that are verified before the case is accepted. Since the receipt has been issued it seems the receipting agent has overlooked that the fee was required. But again, this is USCIS that we are talking about!!

Just my 2c and not a recommendation one way or the other!!

Ask your lawyer. I agree, be proactive and if there is a way you can send the results and file it with your case, do it. Any case medicals are valid for 12-18 months, so if an RFE comes, You can send them same ones again. Again, not sure if you can do this, ask your lawyer.

Mine is Dec'20'2006 and still waiting for I-140 approval.

I am waiting on service center processing dates; still yet to annouce..hopefully we should get quickly.

Thanks



so we r in same boat. Mine recd date Oct 2nd 2006.

With your requirements, wihtout knowing more about what type of photography you're actually interested in, I'd say the Canon Rebel XT (EOS 350D) would be a good match with plenty of money to spare on buying some nice lenses. Nikon D70 is another option, in rougly the same price-range.

One step up from the Rebel XT is the 20D. The 20D has the same sensor and other major features, but it's got a bigger buffer and is slightly faster on "multishot", so if you're into shooting fast sequences, that would be the way to go. You're looking at the better part of a grand to buy the 20D house only, so unless you're particularly after this feature, there's little reason to go for the 20D, the XT will do everything else just fine.

When it comes to "Upgrading to professional", I think you'll find that the Canon and Nikon both have a range of lenses, and a few camera bodies. The camera body will be one side of "how professional" the equipment is, and the lenses will be the other side. The general principle here is that you can easily spend 3-4 times more on lenses than you do on the camera body, so lenses are probably going to be your major outlay in the long term, whether you are an amateur, professional or in-between. [I for instance have a few "professional" lenses, but not all of my lenses are that level, and I don't own a pro camera body].

I don't think Canon or Nikon are about to change anything dramatically that would break the backwards compatibility, so whatever you buy today, you should be able to use for a long time. [I've still got some lenses that I bought about 15-20 years ago].

Guys

I got my receipts yesterday...My case is
I-140 (TSC)
Delivered at 10:25 on July 2nd Received by J.Barrrett..(NSC)
LUD on 08/05/2007 (I-140)
Receipts got from Texas, start with SRCXXXXX

I talked to the contact person at competeamerica.org

According to him They won�t vote on any immigration bills till after the election.

So it seems it will be after november only.

But look at the positive side. We have more time to contact the law makers.

It is very surprising to see many 2004 numbers still pending. I know 2006 cases were processed in high numbers, but didn't expect these many 2004 pending cases.

Thank you very much for the Information...

We need like you people who help others...

i will do this once coming back from india.

Thank you again
