I wouldn't know for sure, as I've never messed with bracketing automatically on my D1, but it seems that you could put the camera in aperture priority, set it for +/- 1 bracketing, and it should automatically take a series of exposures by varying the shutter speed and leaving the aperture constant.

LIN -> Nebraska
07 -> Year in 2 digits
225 -> Number of working days since October 1 2006
5 -> Default for all electronic data
4234 -> Serial number for the receipts issued on that day starting with 0001.
There you go...)

The processing times for I-140 applications in the TSC show no change since the last update. Are there any changes in the NSC processing times ?

I haven't been following the I-485 times for a while since my priority date (EB3/ Mar 2004) is not current and I'm more keen on the I-140 approval for now.

like filing EAD and AP but not 485 (per Greg Siskind's opinion - Siskind-haters pls don't kill me!! :) )

marty,

That's a good idea. I've already initiated the contact with the congressman for our area. Would keep the forum updated about how it goes.

Thanks,
Seyed

Thanks and I really appreciate it. No one knows whats happening to the processing times since the FY 2009 started. We really need to do something about it.

Hi,

I am having issues with my Immigration Attorney. I had asked him to initiate
enquiry about my 485 status about 3 times over the past 2 years and each time he replied via email saying he has sent the enquiry. he usually is very flaky and at times even lies or avoids my calls and emails. I am paying for his
service and not my company.

In nay case, I needed those documents he says he sent as enquiry for my records. When I ask for it, he says he will send it but is just not sending it despite about 10 follow ups over the last 3 months. He says he will send it.I suspect he never initiated the enquiry and just lied to me. So now he is in soup.

He has screwed me and others up like this several times. I really want to refer him to ethics tribunal or something like that. What are my options ? I have been very frustrated with him for the last several years.

Please suggest.

No problem using AP through germany. I travelled in Jan 2009. No issue whatsoever. No one bothered to check any document.

Hello,

I currently hold H1b visa (cap quota), i have an offer from a non profit organization and they are willing to sponsor for my H1b (non cap as this is from a non profit org). I'd like to know will there be any problem if in future i plan to move to a company that will sponsor h1b (cap). How difficult is to transfer from non cap h1 to cap h1?
There is nothing called "transfer". Every time the employer makes a new H1-B petition on behalf of the employee. There is no extra difficulty when you plan to move from your current job to another position that is subject to cap. The new employer will simply file a new H1-B petition.


I read online that if i plan to move from a non-cap h1 to cap h1 in future i have to apply in April under the general quota and wait until Oct to start work again.
This is not true in all cases (including your case). The rule is that if you have once counted in the last 6 years, then you are not subject to cap again. This however also means that you will only be able to get the remaining years from the 6 years limit. For instance, suppose you were counted the first time 5 years before. Then when you again another H1-B, although you will not be subject to cap, you will be able to remain in H1-B only for 1 year. If you do something to reset your H1-B clock (by staying outside US for 1 year, for example), then you will again be subject to cap.

Here is the actual language of the law:

(7) 2/ Any alien who has already been counted within the 6 years prior to the approval of a petition described in subsection (c), toward the numerical limitations of paragraph (1)(A)shall not again be counted toward those limitations unless the alien would be eligible for a full 6 years of authorized admission at the time the petition is filed. Where multiple petitions are approved for 1 alien, that alien shall be counted only once.


I highly recommend that you read the 8 CFR from uscis.gov.

What you "heard" is true for a person who never was on H1-B, and starts his/her career in a cap-exempt position. That person, when s/he wants to move to a non-cap-exempt position, will be subject to cap.



though i can work until the petition is pending.

I'd really appreciate any advise...

Thanks
Raj

Hi WillWin,

Can you add 2002,2003,2004 also, so that its easy to estimate for the later dates and count how many are ahead of us..

Tell me what I am doing wrong here:
1) https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/login.jsp
Clicked the link - Forgot Your User ID or Password ?
2) https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/lostCredentials.do?lostCredentials=true
Entered my userid and email address and Clicked Submit.
3) https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/authenticateUser.do
Here it asked me to enter "Your Question on File is:" and "Your Answer on File is:"
I do not remember this.

I feel that getting the EAD will give us more flexibility to survive in this economic condition as well as eligibility for spouse to work.

its a good idea

Shilpa Ghodgaonkar has rightly summarized probelms of skilled professionals waiting for their green cards.

Thnaks to IV & Shilpa Ghodgaonkar for great efforts to bring the attention of law makers to our problems.

Names of audience is impressive, I am hopeful this effort will help on going efforts to bring relief.

Great job.

As mentioned in your other post. This should have no bearing on your status.

Question: Dear Ms. Murthy, can one apply for a driver�s license with I-485 receipt notice or is the EAD needed?

Answer: Generally, most DMVs will only issue the DL when one has some clear legal status like H-4 or H1B status. The I-485 should be sufficient, in most cases, and the problem is often that the DMV staff is not as well trained with immigration documents. By requesting to speak with the supervisor, one may be able to obtain the DL based on the I-485 receipt notice, since all that the law requires as evidence that one is legal in the U.S.Apr-7-2008.

I do not have EAD and my 485 app is pending, all i can do is get my h1b renewed, in my case without stamping and just 797 will they not give me drivers license extension ???

Dont worry. As long as you have last 3 months paystubs, always present them to INS even if they dont ask for it. For your last 2.5 months of bench check with your employer if he will give you a letter for unpaid leave of absence. Many people on H1 face this problem.

As meridiani said, you should visit india once before filing 485 and before your current visa stamp expires.

Anders: Great idea....looks fantastic........Now its time you set up yourself in the Photographer's notebook and this shud be your first entry.

Thanks Bob!

Maybe I'll check this in, I'll have to try it on a couple of my previous pictures first, I cringe when I look at them... nice to see some progress though. :)

My I-94 is expiring in a month. I have used Advance parole to enter US after a vacation about a year back. How do I renew my I-94 card? Does anybody know...

Even though you entered using AP, you might be able to extend your nonimmigrant status. As the prior answer says, this is not necessary but many employees like to have it in case the AOS is denied for any reason.

It is also useful because if your EAD expires and you have not received a new one, you cannot work even if a new application is pending. On the other hand, if your H-1B (for example) has expired but the company timely filed an extension, you can keep working while the extension is pending.

There is no time to think at this situation. If the labor says BS+3 years then you need that exact same experience to qualify.

I do not want to say NO to you. But someone else can help...Anybody here...

Guys,
Can any one explain his comments,

"We presume some folks are still waiting on their July 2nd cases to be returned and are debating refiling new cases rather than waiting. Unfortunately, there is a risk of not getting the package back before August 17th and some people will need to refile without proof of the earlier filing."

Shouldn't any application rejected on July 2nd have already reached our lawyer's office by now?
Also, if my appliction, filled on July 2nd, has not been returned yet, shouldn't we assume that it will be accepted?

Guys,

If one IV member moves from State A to B, what would be the process of transferring membership to state chapter?

Will it merely be a deleting datbase record from one state and adding it to another state? Or would it be again filling up survey to new state chapter..?

Thanks.

If you are moving to the Tri State Area - we will give you a red carpet welcome into our chapter :)
