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].

Sorry to hear that. I don't know the answer to your original question but I hope you have a way of extending your H1?

The lawyer said H1 can be extended while the appeal is still pending.

Does we need to keep track of the period for our next FP or does the USCIS send as a letter every year to do our finger prints?

Am I the only one who thinks it would be sheer genius if Kodak was to license the Canon mount? Imagine if they offered both Nikon and Canon mounts (even better - an interchangeable mount plate so you could have it both ways on one body)!

Surely this is possible. Perhaps Canon is blocking them or it's just not cost-effective?

It could possibly be Kodak prefer Nikon bodies and lenses. Mike

All the best pal....welcome to the club !:rolleyes:

Now that i am a part of this immigration struggle once again, i will make a small donation to IV.

Please approve my application for Advance Parole.
Thank you in advance for your kind attention and cooperation in this matter.

Yours Truly,

I got an RFE on I-485 for the incomplete medicals. The RFE says that a 'specific' test results are missing and they need that test results to complete my application. I went to the same doctor and the lady there said, I did take that 'specific' test last year when I had medicals, but doctor forgot to mention that results in I-693. She said she is going to fill out a new I-693 form with all the results including the missing one (from old results) and will give me that sealed cover. Will this be enough? or do I need to take that 'specific' tests now and send the results?
I am planning to send the results tomorrow overnite.
Also, my Immigration Office number is 009 with TSC. Anybody got any approvals from this IO?

Bump
Any one who did not send the medicals with the I-485 application, got RFE yet?

What if I only complain about recent unpaid period when I was in even in project. They dint pay any thing on March 15th and dont want to pay on March 31st. They only want to pay in April. Whats your suggestion?
Thx

Regardless of the period, you need to complain to DOL. DOL takes action against them. Again, it doesn't matter if you are on project or not. They must pay you all the time.

Start with contacting another attorney. Let another attorney review your case and give his/her opinion.

Just don't rely on one attorney.

Just checked my case status and it show PDA

Should I do happy dance now???

i kept telling you guys since last week

send faxes to congress /house...it is in the house where bills get structured.

make sure u add only the SKIL bill...just remove cap for ppl with advanced us degrees...that was the only thing the house had agreed to consider


but everyone on this forum ignored me

no it might be too little too late

i am not saying all i slost...atleast we got some action going amongst the members of this site


it aint rocket science guys....think about it from the lawmakers point of view....would they allow for more immigration frindly reforms now....no way...so be ready to compromise and suggest the ones which are truly benefecial to the US economy....

the bottom line was always...borders secure first..then talk about immigration reforms....

for the coming seasons....we have to push for nothing but the SKIL bill

that is the only bill that has hope


the other glimmer of hope in all this is the house has inadverently left out the fact on how they are going to fund the building of the wall

it is here that we step in...

fees for filing I485 for people under SKIL

fees for being able to file 485 before visa numbers

etc etc etc


we have to take advantage of this opportunity

in the mean while....SEND FAXES ABOUT SKIL BILL

You remind me of Katrina fiasco....Red Cross was asking for money and you are bent on sending food and clothes. Let the people in close proximity of washington decide what we need to do at this moment.

Having 3 years EAD/AP and ability to refile AOS (in the worst case) is the best workable solution to an economic turndown and lay-off. Having a recapture done will also help many

IV already has this as part of the letters campaign. Everyone worried about recession, lay-off etc. must support IV campaign with full vigor.

Asian,

Not sure what you are getting at here.

The managers amendment of S. 2611 does have the provision of filing I-485 even when visa numbers are not available. This provision exists precisely because IV asked for it.

I think what Asian means is that the stringent rule of 'Same kind of job' in AC21 makes AC21 usability very limited. If that condition is abolished, 485 is as good as GC in terms of job mobility.

How about some green dots guys for sharing such a inspirational story...

Good Story will really be given a green, here you go green from me !!!!

The new PW system seems to be taking about 4-5 weeks, not months.

I may have missed some people, so please double check and add yourself. Please make sure that the date format is the same as existent so that it becomes consistent and easy to slice , dice and research. Please do not sort the data. We will sort it later on. If you sort it, the title row is also sorted plus there is too much of sorting while people are editing.
