Thanks to the existing rules, I have seen friends/ relatives either sacrifice filing for their AOS, or worse, try to get married in 15 days (or even worse, though I have rarely seen someone do this... get married after filing for AOS and spend years away from the spouse)!
I believe, Sen. Clinton was pushing for this during CIR, but the amendment was rejected.

Not to throw more rocks into the gears here.. But unless the S2 has been updated (which I don't follow really), it was using the chip that was in the Nikon D1 I believe?
If that is such the case, ISO800 is noisy and you can't really shoot above that.
Disregard this if it is newer tech and I'm completely off base.
-- Matt
I don't recall reading anything about Nikon D1 tech being in the Fuji S2... noise seems related to the image capturing sensor and the electronics that follow. The S2 uses Fuji's SuperCCD (which stacks the pixels in a different pattern that allows for slightly better resolution in the "12" MP mode - which certainly doesn't come near the 1Ds, but some say it is better than the 6MP DSLRs, and no, I've not seen a S2 vs. 1DMKII comparison yet). What instead might actually "throw more rocks in gears" is that Thom mentions at the bottom of his review that he's heard more complaints about S2 reliability than other Nikon-based DSLRs, which is worse when one considers the fact that there aren't as many S2s out there as other Nikon DSLRs. It's a good camera image-quality wise, but it's expensive compared to other 6MP DSLRs, and there are questions about reliability. You pays your money and you takes your choice :)

Why do people does not want more than 6 years?? Highly curious about this.
I have no idea abt that.:confused:..thats the way the requirement was given to me...
I guess it might be not to have any over qualified cancdate so that they dont have to pay extra $$$$$$$$$$:D

I am also trying to stay afloat through the very debatable AC21 process. Currently, my case is being handled by Ron Gotcher and I have been very happy with all the help and support so far. Not to mention, they are really reasonable.

You should take fulltime (permanent) position or atleast maintain one permanent position which is according to your LC.
This is the trick. If you feel that it will take a while before USCIS will adjudicate your case, you can take any job or not work at all but always be ready to show that you have a job offer as per LC once USCIS ask for it.
I have friend who was interviewed and was asked for a valid offer of employment as per LC. She's able to show it. But the thing is, her PD is far from being current.

Are the sample affadavits floating around the ones to be used (that my parents can fill in and sign) and would that be sufficient. Does it have to be notariazed or parents filling/signing it is sufficient.
Also do consulates of India etc provide such affadavits/birth certificates?
confused...
it has to be 2 affadavits....right...one by parents (both parents on one i'm assuming) and the other say an uncle (is there a format for that one)...

This part refers to family benefits, i.e. payments to spouse based on your SS contributions.
The family benefits are explained on the ss website but there is no clear information about how the worker will get the benefits. On further digging, I found a document which indicates that the worker must be in the US to get the benefits.
i read that they will send a check to india if u qualify. where did u read otherwise?

Thank you very much for the reply. The reason for stressing so much is I already started the study and finish 3 subjects. Now again I need to start with new university.
Doing masters is not a problem.
U21 has another alternative where they give degree from University of Malbourne, which got AACSB accreditation this year only. If I will continue the education and complete masters and get a degree from University of Malbourne then U21. Will that work?
Or I need degree from US based university?

Passing On H-1b Costs to the Employee? Smart Business Practice or DOL Violation? (http://www.hammondlawfirm.com/FeesArticle07.18.2006.pdf) by Michael F. Hammond and Damaris Del Valle. Note: Authors are immigration lawyers.
After all the costs associated with an H-1B petition are totaled, the sum can be alarming. In order to offset this cost, some employers ask that the beneficiary, the employee who is being hired, reimburse the company in whole or in part. Which costs may and may not be paid by the beneficiary can be a tricky matter. What follows is an analysis of H-1B costs and who may pay what.
All deductions from an H-1B worker’s pay fall into three categories: authorized, unauthorized, or prohibited. Authorized deductions can be taken without worry of whether or not such a deduction will lower the employee’s rate of pay below the required wage rate. Unauthorized deductions, counter to what the term may connote, can be taken from an employee’s wage but are considered non-payment and are only allowed if the beneficiary’s wage rate, after the deduction(s), is greater than the required amount listed on the Labor Condition Application (LCA). Unauthorized deductions cannot push the employee’s wage below either the prevailing wage rate or the actual wage rate, i.e. salaries of those similarly employed and qualified at the work site. Prohibited deductions may not be taken from the employee’s pay regardless of the effect they would have on the required wage rate.
The most straightforward of the deductions is the prohibited deduction. The Training Fee associated with the H-1B petition is the only prohibited deduction associated with the cost of filing an H-1B petition. Rajan v. International Business Solutions, Ltd. and the language in the relevant regulation make it very clear that the Training Fee is to be paid by the employer or a third party; it is not to be reimbursed in part or whole by the employee. This fee must be completely shouldered by the employer or a party who is not the employee.
Deductions are considered by the Department of Labor (DOL) to be authorized if:
The deduction is reported as such on the employer’s payroll records,
The employee has voluntarily agreed to the deduction and such agreement is documented in writing (a job offer which carries a deduction as a condition of employment does not meet this requirement),
The deduction is for a matter that is principally for the benefit of the employee,
The deduction is not a recoupment of the employer’s business expenses,
The amount deducted does not exceed the fair market value or the actual cost (whichever is lower) of the matter covered, and
The amount deducted is not more than 25% of the employee’s disposable earning.
An Education Evaluation arguably qualifies as an authorized deduction. Similar to a translation fee, which is payable by the employee, the employee is benefiting from the evaluation and will be able to use it in the future in his/her private capacity if s/he so wishes. Of course, if the employee is paying for the evaluation, then s/he must be able to acquire a copy of the evaluation so that the future benefit upon which his/her payment is presumed is a real possibility.
Attorney’s fees associated with obtaining H-4 status for family members accompanying the Beneficiary may qualify as authorized deductions since the Beneficiary is the party who primarily benefits from such fees. In addition, attorney fees associated with visa issuance, assuming that international travel is not a requirement for the position, could be properly considered as authorized deductions. In order to properly deduct the attorney fees associated with these processes, it is important that the attorney break down the specifics of how much is being charged for each element of the H-1B process- this will allow the employer to deduct those fees associated with the retention of the visas for the accompanying family members without concerning itself with the deduction requirements necessary for unauthorized deductions.
The circumstances surrounding the Premium Processing Fee determine if deduction of the fee is to qualify as authorized or unauthorized. While the speedy decision that the Premium Processing Fee guarantees often benefits both the employer and the employee, it is important to take notice of which party requests and benefits most from premium processing. If the employee has decided to utilize premium processing for his/her own personal benefit, then the employer may be reimbursed by the employee in accordance with the requirements established by the DOL for authorized deductions. If the employer isthe party desiring premium process and who will benefit from such processing,9 then any deductions from the employee’s pay are unauthorized and, as such
Deduction of attorney’s fees associated with the filing of the LCA or H-1B and the Base Fee (or I-129 Fee) are considered to be unauthorized. These fees are considered to be the employer’s business expenses and, for this reason, are not authorized deductions. These fees may be deducted from the employee’s pay so long as they do not drop the rate of pay below the required wage rate.
It is not clear whether or not the Fraud Fee which was implemented in March 2005 is unauthorized or prohibited. The language of the act regarding the Fraud Fee states that “the Secretary of Homeland Security shall impose a fraud prevention and detection fee on an employer filing a petition.”10 Almost identical language is used in the Act to refer to the Training Fee.11 Such similarity could be read to mean that the restrictions of the Training Fee also apply to the Fraud Fee. However, 20 C.F.R. 655 is explicit in saying that the employee cannot pay the Training Fee; no such statement is made regarding the Fraud Fee. The regulation regarding the Training Fee, 20 C.F.R. 655, predates the creation of the Fraud Fee, which may explain this discrepancy. Nonetheless, the language referring to the Fraud Fee is not explicitly prohibitive and an employer may decide to be reimbursed by the employee. If an employer chooses to do so, any deductions from the employee’s salary to pay for this fee must meet the DOL requirements for unauthorized deductions. 12
Before any payments are made by the employee or deductions are taken from his/her pay to reimburse the employer, it must be determined if such deduction is permitted and if so, whether or not it is authorized or unauthorized. Once these preliminary determinations are made, appropriate steps must be taken to ensure that the DOL’s requirements are met. As a practical matter, there are very few circumstances in which the prospective employee could legally be made to pay for the costs associated with the H-1b process without an employer risking non-compliance and causing significant record keeping.

call ur airport, I remember a friend got his I94 extended based on new I797 at the airport.
BTW- if u have an approved I797 and an expired I94, u are not out of status....when u travel next time out of country...keep current docs with u and when u reenter...the POE officer will give u i94 based on ur latest I797..
What I dont understand is when u entered US in may 06, with a I797 of 2010
, why didnt the POE officer give u i94 until 2010?
That's because my current 797 was valid till Jun 2007 and he said he can only stamp the date that is on the current 797. I guess it depends on the POE officer and in my case its unfortunate that it got messed up. Someone in the forum mentioned that he got it for 3 years. I think its very very YMMV :confused:

What do you think we should expect from a president who is "socially conservative" and "fiscally liberal".
I expected Obama to be another FDR, but I now feel he is very far from being FDR.
FDR had 8 years & over 55 years after his presidency to make his impression today..... u r judging obama with his first 2 years of his presidency....... where is fairness here?
previous administration created this situation where the economic cycle had literally stopped..... people were not spending money, banks were not giving loan, companies were not expanding/hiring, companies were laying off causing unemployment..... in such times economy needs fusion of cash so that there is enough money in rotation for the economy to continue before customers return and the economic cycle is back on track...... bush (as seen in the video), McCain or any other person would have done the exact same thing becoz there is no other way...... the only other option of not doing anything would have ended up with the country in economic depression....... then u would have blame obama for creating economic depression......
lets talk @ "fiscally liberal"..... darling of the right wing, george bush.... started two wars..... spending over 2 trillion dollars, gave 1.4 trillion dollar tax-cuts to the top 1% who are rich..... this is around $3.5 trillion dollars of unpaid spending taking this country into massive national debt...... and now u r blaming obama for being "fiscally liberal".....
this world would stop if it were for the ideologues..... "fiscally liberal" is just one idea which works during specific times, it doesn't work all the time...... but the situation obama inherited "fiscally liberal" was the need of the hour, otherwise we would all be in economic depression..... today people have the luxury of being an ideologues becoz this country is not in economic depression...... but wasn't it "fiscally conservative" republicans who led the country to the economic depression by spending their way to verge of collapse..... y blame obama for being "fiscally liberal"?
@ social issues, he has so much on his plate & his focus is economy...... but he has shown leadership on gitmo, don't ask don't tell, stem cell research etc..... in his first two years....... don't hang by his neck....... give this guy a chance......
after 2 years of bush presidency... if people would say anything about bush.... they were branded as unpatriotic...... now with 100 times worst situation at hand.... u'll not give this guy a chance but rather throw dirt all over.......

Mumbai consulate.
They asked for zero documents.
I had taken a ton of documents
Salary slips
Tax returns
I129 petition copy
H1 approval
Name it I had it
But he asked me nothing
Does mumbai consulate still require you to submit documents in advance (4-5 days) of the interview date ?

Maybe USCIS is already processing the PD 2007 for India, and the VB Bulletin next month will be current for the others. If thats the case they already advanced the cutoff dates.
