But remember that this does NOT include 3 LARGE groups of potential EB's:
1. Those who have NOTHING filed with USCIS yet, since their LC is still at the BEC==>THIS IS CORRECT
2. Those whose I-140's have been approved, but can't file I-485 yet.==>I THINK THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN ACCOUNT OF BY USCIS.
3. The dependants of (1) and (2).==>THIS IS CORRECT
None of the above would be counted as having a 'pending' case with USCIS.==>nO.2 HAS BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR

Neither of these are SLR's unless I'm mistaken. To hit the price range you are after -- you are looking at the Nikon D70 or the Canon 300D. It appears that you are looking at the P&S that are 8mp, keep in mind that the 6mp crop of dSLRs here mentioned above will get a higher resolution and better ISO range, which can help you always indoors. Definately enough for your 11x17 print desires. Those 8mp sensors are using much smaller sensors which by statistic sounds like more, it's not really.
If you are moving from a P&S and your not familiar with SLR's, this might be a learning experience for you. Is it worth it? Definately.
I'm Canon biased, but I've heard great things about the D70. I'd check out both and decide which is right for you and the possible future lens purchases.

And Yeah i do have a new Passport now
Doesn't your H1 renewal come with a valid I-94? Please check that. If not, Why don't you go to the local office in person, I am sure they will adjust it. Try going to the border it does not hurt, I thgink the rule is 30 days as mentioned in your other thread.

While its a good idea to write to the president, Obama himself says he gets 40,000 letters per day, so its a rain drop in the ocean, no offense intended.
We need to do a coordinated strike by all members of the IV
1.Everyone send an email or calls the Congressman's office on a particular date
2.Call or email their senator on a particular date.
3.Write letters to popular TV talk show hosts on a particular week saying legal immigration is ignored in the immigration debate.
4.Send an email to the president on a particular date
5.Organize peaceful rallies in their respective cities on a particular date. This way no one has to pay for traveling in terms of flight tickets or pay for hotels
This has to be organized by PAPPU and TEAM as everyone respects their work and commitment.
PS Don't start of the donate campaign thread now, people will donate once they see action and not just words. Only #5 needs donation for flags, posters etc( even that content can be brought by folks themselves)
For a start, can we all just do one thing: Take an appointment with our local congressman/woman's office and do a presentation. No need to do it on one particular day. Just do it in the next month.
Both ideas are good; coordinated and targeted efforts will get the attention of a few. We need guidance from the IV team on this matter.
phone campaigns/ email campaigns on two days to every senator/congressman
may be getting tv talk show hosts to take up during the same two days

Another interesting report is on increasing aging population in US. While India, China & other emerging markets have a lot of younger population (productive age).
America, Europe and Japan's aging population Time Bomb (http://www.d-transition.info/western-demographic-winter-2/america-europe-japans-aging-population-time-bomb-382/)
Module 2: Demographics of An Aging Population (http://www.ageworks.com/course_demo/200/module2/module2.htm)
What it would mean?
Well the younger workforce is ready to contribute towards bottom line of the economy thru SS, Income taxes etc. and offset the liability side of the budget... Another ammunition point!!!
India has a much younger demographic profile today, as well as a higher birth rate, which infers that India will have an advantage over many other countries with regard to demographic burdens from an aging population at least until the latter stages of the 21st century.

Any idea of how many number of I-140s ? May be 50000+. It looks like it might take at least an year to process these I-140s in NSC/TSC. TSC is faster when compared to NSC, where the priority dates has not been moving, at least for EB1/EB3. What do you say ?
A trivial question: Do they process I-140s based on labor filed date (priority) or I-140 filed date ?
Hopefully they will reinstate PPS for I-140 after they are done with receipting the July/Aug applications.
Good luck to everyone.

Thank you for the replies, I think I won't do anything further for the I140. I will try to get my H1B first. I am wondering in my case, will my H1B application be rejected due to the "I140 filed when F1"?
Thanks again for the help!

There is a clear guideline and it's written in the INA (Tiitle 8 USC 1153). You are correct that is goes from EB1-EB2-EB3 and that unused numbers are lost at the end:

In determining under subparagraph (A) whether an immigrant has exceptional ability, the possession of a degree, diploma, certificate, or similar award from a college, university, school, or other institution of learning or a license to practice or certification for a particular profession or occupation shall not by itself be considered sufficient evidence of such exceptional ability.
