2. Me and my wife filed EAD/AP July 29th 2008. My AP got approved on Aug 31. But my wifes AP/EAD is not yet approved.
3. Two months back my H1B sponsoring company( company A) was acquired by company B. Company B is a Canadian company. Company B has taken all obligations and liabilities of LCA's of company A.
4. Since the aquiring comany is candian company my offer letter and the employment verifaication letters are with address and telephone numbers of canada/ottawa.
5. My pay stubs are still issued with name of Campany A.

However, EAWA does not apply to H-1B petitions seeking to change the status of a beneficiary already working for the employer in another work-authorised category. It also does not apply to H-1B petitions seeking an extension of stay for a current employee with the same employer.
This actually clears alot of doubts people had regarding the whole extension/COS question.

Me and my wife are on EAD and son is US citizen. Have travelled to India 3 times in last 2 years and POE was Newark, New Jersey airport everytime. Latest was March 15, 2009.
Used Advance Parole to enter everytime.
No problem ever. Only required to wait in another room till advance parole is stamped.
this time however they asked questions like profession. how many years in comapny etc. ?

That's an eternal open question all of us have here :-)
To be honest, I don't know, but based on the what I read, I gathered that it is the notice date. But the bottomline is - we all know - even USCIS knows - ITS RANDOM PROCESSING!!
Thanks

I think this should be split out to another thread.
If we start out by strictly looking at NEW equipment, and base body+lens price of less than $1000:
- Canon
EOS Rebel XT: $880
- Konica Minolta
Maxxum 5D: $700
- Nikon
D50: $650
- Olympus
E-volt 300: $650
E-volt 500: $720
E-1: $940
- Pentax
*ist DL: $750
Prices from B&H Photo - www.bhphotovideo.com - there may well be better offers available, but the local camera shop probably wants a few dollars more... Which may or may not be worth it, depending on whether you value the fact that you can go to the local store for help and advice or prefer e-mail and phone help if something goes wrong...
All of these have their own pro's and con's. If you want a good selection of lenses and other "extras", the Canon will be first, Nikon second, Konica Minolta in third, a fair bit behind, and everything else sharing a pretty far behind fourth place. This, of course, may not be an issue - if all you want is two or three (or one) generic lens and a basic flash you'll be fine with any choice.
The pixel count is 8MP for Canon and Olympus, whilst the others have 6MP. Again, this may or may not be important for you.
As to "which is best", it's VERY MUCH a personal preference - and a case of which features are important to you as a photographer.
I didn't list the ones that are a little more than $1000 - you get quite a few more to choose from if you go to $1200 or so - and with faster action and bigger buffer (for those action sequences).
As Puncher mentioned, used digital cameras are an option - you can get one that is a year or two old, which has much higher spec than the new ones for the same money.
Without some further discussion on what's important to you, it's not an easy choice.

In September 2001, I came here on visitor visa with my mother and resided here till today (I was 15). I went through 4 yrs of high school, got my GED followed by an associate degree from community college and now I'm an undergrad student pursuing my bachelor degree; will graduate in a year. Meanwhile, my mother became a U.S. citizen through marriage when I was a sophomore in college, simultaneously my I-130 was approved and now waiting for the visa availability; the priority date: Dec 08, 2006, F1.
Problem is that I turned 21 on October 13, 2006 right passed the time criterion for the Child Status Protection Act which technically makes me "aged-out" by about 2 months (filing date being DEC06), so I think that I am not be qualified as an immediate relative.
Currently, the visa availability date is at 15FEB06 which is getting close to DEC06.
Few months ago, I received a letter from NVC requesting DS-3032 and I-864 forms which I've filled out and sent to them but I regarded the fact that I live in the United States on an overstayed visa!!! I should have sent them a notice to adjust my status instead of paying the $70 and $400 fees that I already paid, apparently. I am not leaving the country to interview overseas with the NVC because that would put me in a 10 year ban obviously, I also do not understand how I can adjust my status with the USCIS once the priority date becomes current when I do not have a status as of now! So, I might've done all these for nothing. I've talked to some lawyers on the phone but they have completely shut my hopes down (maybe because I haven't paid them?). I do not have the money to pay for an expensive lawyer because all my funds can barely afford my college.
On top of everything, DREAM act just got rejected from the congress as I'm getting ready to graduate from college. I have no idea what to do.
With my college degree and knowledge that I have acquired over the years, I believe that I am an inevitable asset to this country but I am deeply saddened by the fact that American Dream is not becoming a reality for me. I know I can do more for the world but I'm immobilized by the system which I don't see any loopholes to at this point. I understand the views of the Republicans but I really wish that they can give one more look at the DREAM act. We do not intentionally break the law. I would actually be a law-abiding and a model citizen if I ever become one.
Anyhow, I lost all my hopes and dream in this country at this point in time, that I think the only/best way is to move back to where I am from immediately upon graduation.
If there is any hope, your help/advice/inputs will be greatly appreciated!
Hope is only with "Audacity of HOPE". We are all with you in this journey towards GC. Good luck to all.

Now something that had been on top of my mind for long. Does anyone know how to make Google include subjective interpretation to search query? I will elaborate ...
Say you want to search for all the work been done or being done on say "teapot". Normally you type in "teapot" in search bar and Google will dump millions of results. And those results would be screened objectively based on the search query i.e. "teapot". But interestingly, "kettle" is also a synomous for "teapot" but since the search was objectively driven, this subjective association would be excluded. This is just an example, I framed to explain my point.
A quick answer to above would be to include any synomous words, but we all know in techonological world and especially in the IP area, their could numerous ways to hid the information while maintaining it on public forums. If you have been engaged in IP development, you will understand what I am talking about.
Google has wonderwheel added recently which displays related items to your search keyword (not necessarily synonyms) in a map.

I have H1 approval I-797 with me (received in last year quota) and H4 approval (which was applied before applying H1). Now I have a family emergency back home. I have to travel asap. My current H4 stamp in the passport is expired. So I have to go for stamping, either it be using H1 or using H4. Since I am unemployed at present I can't use H1 for stamping. If I come back on H4, what will happen to my H1 status? Will it be still valid to accept an employment or becomes void.
Please share your thoughts...
Thanks
You are in H-1 status now as you applied for COS from H4 to H-1. So I am not sure if going for H4 stamping is still an option for you. I will let others weighin on this one.
Do you have AP instead? You can always come back on AP, doing so will not invalidate your H-1

Hi
I had filed my I-485 in Jun 2007 my PD is Nov 2005 and was called for an interview at the local USCIS office in Feb 2009. My I-485 was pre-approved, now I am about to apply for AP renewal.
The question I have is which service center do I mail in my AP renewal docs? My original application was filed in Nebraska. So do I file it there or send it to service center in Missouri? Can any one who has similar experience post the answer to this?
Thnks

Your Emp A may say anything, but if he revokes your I-140 before you file AC-21, then you will be in trouble. It is always safe to file CA-21
I-140 cannot be revoked now, he is already past 180 days limit

She told me the copy should be fine... when I went there on the 13th the security guy wouldnt allow me saying my date was sept 15th and that I didnt have original copy :rolleyes: I said my lawyer told me that a copy should be ok. He said your lawyer is not incharge of doing FP. :mad: I said I want to talk to an officer... There was an officer who was watching this... he told the guard to let me in... After that it was all smooth sailling... was done with my FP in about 15 mins... Received approval notice on 16th (Yes 3 days!!!) Had my gc on 18th!:D My wife who is the secondary got 2 LUDs on her 485 but no approval... I guess she is stuck in the name check... what is strange is that most ppl who have their approvals have their EADs and APs rejected! In my case however they send both last week... over a month after 485 approval :rolleyes:

1) current visa stamp has already expired, so I have to apply for a new stamp(this is the key question: how long is the visa stamp? 3-moth or only till June 30?)2) the validity of new I-797 approval notice will till 2010. I guess it will be approved next month.
My wish is the visa stamp is 3-month and then I can enter US with the new I-797 extension approval. Am I right?
As far as I know if your current visa is valid until June30 , 2007 and you go to stamping with that visa , your new stamp will only be valid until June30 , 2007. You can enter US by that date. You will probably asked proof about new extension if you travel to wards end of month. I don't think it will be valid for 3 months (say until September) even though your visa was only valid until June30.
Since your visa stamp is expired you MUST get new stamping before re-entering the US.
If you go to stamping with new extension , you will get the stamping until that date (2010).
PS: I am not an attorney , get help from an attorney when in doubt.

Hi:
This will also not qualify under EB-2. Your underlying bachelor's degree has to be 4 years equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. secondly, 4-6 experience is not the same as 5 years of progressive experience.
