I signed contract on my house and now looking for a mortgage. I’m looking at eLoan, LendingTree, credit union and a few banks/lenders listed in Bankrate.com.
I would appreciate if you can share any information regarding any of the lenders, your experience dealing with them or any other useful information which will help me make a informed decision.
I’m at Houston, TX.
If you are one of them who would like to remind me it’s not an immigration related question….I’m an immigrant and I have a question….so would it make it immigration related? :)
Thanks for your time.

I never said school can force her to maintain F1. All I said was if she wants to be on F1 (for whatever reasons) she needs to comply with school's policies. Also her maintaining or not maintaining F1 is immaterial to her legal immigration status in the country (which is safe by the virtue of pending I-485) it is just that she will cease to be on F1 status (her current non-immigrant status, just obtaining EAD doesn't mean she has abandoned F1 status, she needs to use it)
Also, she will no longer be on any non-immigrant status when school cancels her F1, from that point on her status will solely be based on I-485 and its outcome.
School can't force her to continue on F1 visa. Only thing she need to send school is her copy of pending I-485 receipt and thats it.

This is how it should be done...
- request USCIS to port your PD from already approved I-140 from past employer
USCIS may or may not do it for you
- if not apply for I-485 using Category of 2nd (should be EB2) and PD from 1st one. You need to attach both of these with I-485 application and of course a covering letter stating what you are doing.
Here is the extract from the law -
QUOTE
(3) Priority Date Based on Earlier Petition.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification.

You will know what I am talking. USCIS folks are dumb a.. and sitting on AOS applications for long time. The direction is clearly coming from TOP. After July VB fiasco, they cannot sit on it as they have created landmines. They lied in the past about the processing delays for lack of resources. If they decide to stand by that lie, then they are creating landmines for themselves towards future. If they dont stand by that lie, then any small mistake will be exposed with seveal questions from outside. The only way out is to go to Pappa and ask for his signature on the solution. They have all the solutions and we dont have to tell them any.

I currently have the Canon Powershot S50 which i'm selling.
Looking into the minolta Dimage A2 and the Olympus C5060.
Looking to spend about 1300.
I mainly take indoor shots . and looking to print pics as big as 11 x 17
Got the epson 1270 printer .
any suggestion would be appreciated..
thanks janey
Your choice of a D70 will give you great joy in your indoor photography for the next two years especially with the 18mm-70mm kit lens. You can tune the camera perfectly to give you the image you want. Moreover it is one of the fastest camera at this time for the price you are paying.
The 50mm f/1.8, 24mm f/2, 28mm f/2 or the 35mm f/1.4 lens will add to your advantage for great indoor pictures without flash.
As for people who want a SLR-like, the Minolta A2 has better features than the Olympus C-8080 in terms of zoom coverage, number of frames per second, long exposure and weight of the camera.
A2 has a 28-200mm zoom range as compared to 28-140 of the C-8080. You can go at 2.7 fps x 3 images @ fine mode, but the C-8080 can only cope with 1.6 fps x 5 images.
A2 has a maximum of 30 sec for long exposure while Olympus has only 15 seconds. The only advantage of the C-8080 is its marco focusing distance which is 5cm. The A2 can only go up to 13cm.
For those who want a lighter weight SLR-like camera and do not need the speed of the D70, the Minolta A2 can be a better choice. However both cameras have fast speed lenses with the maximum at f/2.8 only.
With the D70, you can even have the 85mm or the 50mm f/1.4 lenses for indoor photography using ISO 1600. Surprisingly the D70 has extremely low noise level even at ISO 1600, something that you cannot find in the other two SLRs.

Help!!
Is any company filing new PERM applications in this economy? I was told that my current company (a really big one at that) is holding off PERMs indefinitely because we had some layoffs- indefinitely!
My H1 runs out in Oct 2010, and I heard that I have only till end of Nov 2009 (including what I found out is called recapture time) to file.
Now, I found out that my company have do newspaper/online ads for positions to demonstate that they tested the labor market etc etc (all stuff that I heard from the attorney), and I got the impression that she has no idea when they are going to do this and start filing again, and I got something like a best of luck look from her. I am freaked out now.
Any of you out there know if any companies are still filing PERMs? I am on a EB-2 in Software.
Also, if I join a new company, can I file a PERM immediately? Or is it just best of luck to me?
Looks like I have to look into a Canada visa / Australian or UK visa or better go back and spend sometime in India. Any thoughts from any of you more enterprising folks out there? I have little knowledge of the process (my fault!) but I am stressed and freaked now.
You are undergoing what a lot of H1Bs go through.
They do not care about greencard on H1B thinking that it will come whenver the company applies until it is too late. They enjoy the first 3 years of H1B enjoying America and dollars and do not bother about IV or advocacy or contributing money to IV. I have seen such people even telling others it is a waste of time and making fun of IV. After 3 years they renew H1B thinking that they still have 3 more years. But once 6 years are about to expire they worry that they will have to leave US of A and the land of opportunities. It is at that time they try to start greencard process and check out IV. These same people then start contributing to IV and take this effort seriously.
You still have time of 1 year and 9 months and that is good enough to get your labor through. Good luck and hope you find help from people here.

With the new rule on FBI name checks, a potential 47K with current PDs could get their GS's soon. I wonder how much of a shift we will see in the PD's from now, after the 47K is not taken into account. I would predict a minimum of atleast a year jump, or am I being optimistic. :confused:

do you remember the case of the girl who came to the US as 1 year old and is now some 27 years old and still on H4?
She knows no other place than the US and can be kicked out anytime the husband goes out of status.

Thanks Krishna and snathan! That answers most of my questions.
snathan:
11) is it possible to switch the GC processing to "future employment", although the Labor/I-140 were approved with the understanding that I was to continue working for the same employer?
12) is the H1 visa/Priority Date of approved labor/I-140 carried over when the individual changes citizenship - from Indian to Canadian?
NO
I guess you meant "NO" to # 11 and "YES" to #12 - right?

Call all doctors in your area. When you call them, make sure they put you on their waiting list(in case somebody cancels).
I would even drive 3-4 hours to find a doctor for the medicals. Without the 693 you are asking for a rejection.
