hdos,
Why are you worrying much, Why dont you go back to India and come back after one year. Then file for green card. When you do not have project for 6 months why are you worrying for green card?
If you are not married, go back to India find a nice girl get married, enjoy for one yr and come back again.By that time economy will improve and you get project easily.

Sorry to hear about ur denail .I've been through this .Unfortunately u cant fime MTR bacause it has to be within 30 to 33 days of denail depending how u get ur denail notice .U can file an apeal but that will take more time then filing a new 140 and getting spproval .I dont know if u can use old labour .If u can use old labout then better to file new 140 with approved labour .If u cant use old labout then apeal may be batter becaue more n more labours are goin to audit and endless delays .
hope it helps .

Indian employer sent experience letter only after I officially resigned. That experience letter shows as an employee including our stay here in H4. We can't change the letter. This is happened to many of my friend's spouses. No question asked. If this is not the case no one will get the H1B approval.

I already pllued all of my paperwork from attorney.
You must have at least a copy of all your filing paperwork from Labor Filing till today. This is required when you are filing anything new or responding any RFE, you sould match each and everything on the USCIS records when you are submitting any new paper work as a part of RFE/new application etc.
So, better have a copy of all paprework before..
I dont intend to change my employer/lawyer but just got all original approvals and copy of each and every paperwork from my attorney till date about my GC.. just to be safe..
I can pull out my G28 and be on my own at any time, but still save my ongoing pending petitions..

It looks like the picture is quite severely overexposed. Since you have a bright moon on a black background, depending on the relative sizes of the moon and background, the exact focusing point and how the metering works you'll easily end up with an overexposed moon (due to the dark background).
As an alternative , spotmeter the moon to figure out the exposure and/or use the histogram.

My lawyers and I have attempted to appeal the decision, however our attempt has been futile: our request for appeal has been denied.
The judge presiding over my case will be a United States citizen - it would be like telling a child to kill his/her parent... it simply cannot happen! If I were to sue the United States of America, I would be fighting an uphill battle and risk deportation if I were to lose.
Did you appeal your case to the Board of Immigration Appeals ? Have you sought the intervention of congressional offices ? Congressional offices can ask questions and get answers which you otherwise would never get. What status did you file under ? EB category ? etc
Judges in the US do not discriminate on national origin or immigration status. There have been cases where legal and illegal immigrants convicted of crimes have sued the US and won key phases of their cases even when the cases were appealed. Examples of such are Jogi v. Voges and :
In two recent decisions, the Fourth Circuit reversed lower court rulings that had dismissed law suits filed by two Colombian nationals under the Alien Tort Statute. Both lawsuits sought $2 million in damages on the grounds that the arresting authorities had failed to advise them of their right to consular notification and communication.
While this were not immigration cases, the following case might even demonstrate that Judges are there to uphold the law without fear or favor. In this particular case, a court ordered a US consulate to adjudicate a visa application in 60 days when the applicants had been kept waiting for over 4 years. Mind you the individual was outside the US and still sued and won :
Mandamus Granted Against U.S. Embassy in Moscow in 4-Year Wait for Visa (http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=16767)
A District Court in California grants mandamus against the U.S. Embassy in Moscow in an immigrant visa case, finding that 4 years is an unreasonable time for an application to be pending and that a U.S. petitioner has standing to bring a mandamus action against an overseas consulate in a visa application case. Courtesy of Kenneth White.
Finally, I am not an attorney, but I strong suggest pursuing the congressional office route, if need be, use both your congressman(woman) and senator's office to get to the bottom of what appears to be an obvious error. You might want to schedule a meeting with them rather than discuss the issue over the phone and provide all copies of correspondence.

Hi -
I just bought a nikon d50 kit and the dealer sold me sigma lens' with the kit. I have since upgraded the camera body to a d70S. Now I am having problems with the lens', autofocus doesnt work all the time. Sometimes it works...then other times it wont focus at all.
Does anyone know if the sigma 18-50mm and the 70-300mm af/mf lens' are compatable with the d70s?
Sometimes Sigma lenses can have issues with different cameras because Nikon makes subtle changes to the way the camera talks to the lenses - changes that work fine with Nikon lenses but on occasion cause havok with third party lenses. If you contact Sigma, they should be able to tell you if an incompatibility between the lens and camera is indeed what is happening, and if so, they should be able to upgrade the processor in the lens (I'm not sure, but they may even do this at no cost).
The dealer told me the sigma lens were better then the nikor lens' because they have a metal mount whereas the mikor was a plastic mount. is this true and is this somethign i really should have worried about?
If you compare the Nikon 18-50mm with the Sigma 18-50mm (your Sigma is the f/2.8 model, right?), then I'm guessing that the Sigma will be better. Compared with the more expensive Nikon 18-70mm zoom that is sold as a kit with the D70s, they're probably about the same (bear in mind that I don't really know, since I've only used the Nikon 18-70 personally). I don't abuse my lenses, so what the lens mount is made of matters relatively little. In many cases a metal lens mount may be a sign of better quality in other areas including image quality, so the dealer wasn't entirely full of it, but I would be wary if someone tried to sell me something other than what I wanted for that reason alone.

I agree. We should continue our efforrts with IV, PD_recapturing, ItsNotFunny, NK2006 and Chanduv
I agree on this. In the past , murthy lawyers have also claimed to have successfull MTR cases but that hardly created any awareness among USCIS about the AC21 law that they are not supposed to directly deny AOS if underlying I-140 gets revoked. Although we hope its good news but I doubt that this is going to make any difference to any future AOS applications whose I-140 get denied.

Hi,
My friend is in a unique situation and needs help. Please guide him with his queries.
**************************************************
I'm in USA on H1B since Apr-17-2004 with out any break. I'll complete my 6 year stay in USA H1B by Apr-16-2010.
My current H1B & I-94 extension was applied on Jun-06-2008 (applied in a group) and approved till May-01-2011.
My GC labor was applied on May-29-2008 and approved on Oct-11-2008. But..
We didn't specify about GC labor on H1B/I-94 extension petition.
My GC I-140 was appilied on Nov-12-2008 and approved on Apr-20-2009.
Can you please suggest when should I apply for my next H1B & I-94 extensions (based on 'Apr-16-2010' OR 'May-01-2011') ?

Our leaders� promises are meaningless if they don�t turn their rhetoric into concrete actions and legislation. President Obama, Congress, and the bureaucracy in Washington DC have not delivered the action America needs. We�re marching on May 1st to show them, and the world, that we�re not going to let them get away with it.
VERY TRUE! These politicians need to be held accountable for their talks and no actions, and if this march is going to help in that direction, then we should do it.

The only way he can get more H1B is by staying out for 1 year, especially since he is already in India. In order to take advantage of the 485 filing, he MUST be on a legal status in the U.S. His legal status does include being your dependent, i.e L2 or H4 (if you are on H1B). Basically, in order to do that, he has less than a month to obtain a dependent visa and move to the U.S. This would mean that he would have to trade the possibility of getting an H1 with that of receiving an EAD in a few months.
Also note that the H1 visa quota is full for 2007 and 20008 as of now. So, it is not a guarantee that he can get an H1 visa even for next year. Perhaps he could fly here on a dependent visa, not work for a few months until he gets an EAD and then resume his career in the U.S.
In any case, I would strongly urge you to consult an attorney immediately.

I faced a similar situation during my first L1B extension. My L1 extension was filed, but not approved while my L1 visa expired. Per my (then) attorneys advice - it isn't an issue if the application to extend has been applied for. You can be out of status for upto 180 days in such situations. Only issue is if the extension is rejected during this period.
In the future, the receipt for having filed for extension before Visa expiry and/or Received Date on I-797 Notice of Action (approval) can be used as proof. Of course, travelling out of the country and back on a new visa removes the stigma of having been "out of status"
RFE is okay, but rejection is NOT! Do answer it (RFE) in time. Rejection can put you in trouble. Also if the period extends beyond 180 days due to RFE you will be in trouble ( I really doubt it happening but you never know)
