Kama Of Kingstone

Hi eadguru

I too got query for AP to send clear copies of all data pages of PP,
where did you make color copies and how much it would be ?
Do we need to take all pages from the passport !

Thanks

I did it in Kinkos, I took all data pages in color and empty pages in black and white. It cost me around $15. (For two people). I also included all I 94 Cards.

This has been discussed, we can't help.

It takes time for people to come on same page.

Lot of lawyers have conference calls with their clients - discuss what "their clients" must do.

One good thing is a lot of our members under the IV umbrella have the zeal to do something. Looking at the Munnabhai threads etc...

It is a matter of time before we get organized. IV core is working hard on various aspects.

Before anyone does anything under the IV umbrella - please contact sertasheep or pappu or macaca.

Family based might based upon the parents or siblings. That is the reason i asked whether is is spouse? If spouse you are OK. You can disclose the income.

LPR (dad) :(

Hi,

A while ago on one of the conference calls, if i remember correctly, it was mentioned that there wud be a team of ppl who would be aggressively calling up people and ask them to join.

First off am i correct? If i am correct, I was wondering if the same team could look at the contributions from the various members and call the "dormant" members up and ask them why they are apprehensive to contribute.

Eb3_nepa,

What volunteer team are you on?

How about helping or taking the lead on this?

Contact Jay jay@immigrationvoice.org who heads our membership drive team.

Everyone -- if you've got an idea, find out if it is already being implemented, and join in the effort. If it isn't take the lead and implement it!

best,

I turned out to be my I-485 approval notice!

I just received it yesterday.

Thanks all.

So here are three more from the same "session" last evening which do include some foreground framing/interest. (slight adjustments on these to levels, color, etc. no cropping though)

Enjoy,

Number 3 is by far the better pic to my mind. Re: Destroying your cloud....
yeah, just playing with some new scatter brushes that I didn't have control over yet :D...was aiming more for something like your pic 3 above.

In cases where there is no natural framing (Flora, fauna, dock posts, etc etc), on a sunset shot you can use people (silhouttes) to add elements of interest. Or maybe shoot from ground level; just suggestions and it's always fun to experiment with these things.

Your insurance company will give you that letter....no specific amount but stating that international coverage is there. I have used that letter for Schengen visa in German consulate 4 times and it has worked well.

Has anybody recently applied for a Schengen Visa, if yes, can you please let me know what you did for the travel insurance. The insurance from my employer (Humana) says they cover international but do not have a letter that states the same and Swedish consulate website says the letter should specifically say "International Coverage".

What are my options. Can you guys suggest where I can buy the insurance from.

Were you on bench or worked during the period when the employer didn't pay?

My employer is not paying salary. Where I should complain about him so I can get salary.

Thx

i am not a lawyer, so what i state here is from my personal experience. i have been to hawaii on an H1B 3 years ago. there was absolutely no problem anywhere. its like flying to any of the 48 mainland states. no one asked for passports anywhere ( i did not even carry it).
I ofcourse flew to hawaii, but i have taken cruises to mexico.

as long as the cruise ship does not touch a foreign port, you are good. check with the cruise company if they need a passport. they usually have info on what is required. before entering the ship, your papers are checked and if there is something needed for immigration when you return(like from mexico), they wont let you in until you show them the documents.

since you are boarding from US, visiting an US state, coming back to US, there should be no problem.

Hi,

I've already completed my 6 yrs on H1, have my 140 approved, applied for extension and got it (before 6 yr expiry). The extension has been approved for 3 years.

Now -- I need to change employers as my employer is asking me to become full time from consulting.

2 questions:
1. Can I use this extension to change employers?

2. Can I start the GC process with the 140 priority date? (Feb '08)?

Thanks

PS: I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.

I totally agree with you...recently I moved to CA and it took me close to 2 months before I had 3 offers...I can see it can be frustating, distracting but keep +ve and it will be rewaded.

Not sure what you mean by 2 months before I had 3 offers??

if you are talking about jobs, then all you need is one!!

Prashanthi was there on chat for 30 min and as no one turned up to ask questions she left. She will be available for chat every Thursday at 9.30 PM EST.

You may want to remind people in the day about the chat. Once it happens regularly, people will remember.

just called USCIS and reached level 2 customer support. she still could not find my 485 information. She send a request to NSC to look for my application. and ask me to ask them after 45 days if I still not hear anything from NSC.

Dont worry. You will get it soon. .Same thing happened to me. Applied I-485 on July 2nd, EAD/AP in 2nd week of August. Got receipts for EAD/AP from NEC on Aug 29, checks cleared today for I-485 from TSC.

So Dont worry.. You should get it.

EB-3 ROW = EB-3 Rest of World then there's EB-3 Mainland China, EB-3 Mexico, EB-3 India and EB-3 Philippines. Please correct me if I'm wrong. :D

It may be a silly question, can some one tell me what is the difference between EB3-ROW and EB-3?

Thanks for sharing this good news.

Yep congratulations indeed

My gut feeling would be in agreeing with what your attorney says regarding the difficulty with the same job description but differing EB category.

However, I don't think the attorney would have filled for the EB2 knowing that it would not be accepted, especially if your company is paying for the process.

I guess you'll only really know if the tactic works when your EB2 LC is resolved.

I'm far from an attorney, but your general position seems similar to what I've been considering for a while (that's why I know a little bit about this). Sorry - can't be much more help other than that - its just my guessing, really. Maybe others on this board have applied the same theory with success.

inline...
I have H1 visa and my company started processing my GG. They published some ads, and in August applied for the LC. It turned out that they used EB3. They said that LC would be ready by February next year. Then it will take 4 years minimum for other steps. I was very surprised that I was EB3 but not EB2.

I have couple of questions:

1. How long does it take if to process it using EB3... 4 years, 5 years?
--its going to take 2-3 years before you can file,then another couple of years perhaps. So yea 4-5 years

2. How long does it take if to process it using EB2? I am from Russia.
--if EB2 remains current (it has inthe past, andwill likely remain current in the future also) say an year or 18 months. Thats been the typical time, and also processing dates cameout today and NSC is for instance claiming they are now doing July 2007 cases

3. Is it possible to switch to EB2 somehow?
--u will need to redo the LC stage.

4. If I apply one more time now using Eb2, would it be faster? I will lose time for LC processing.

--see below

5. At what step of GC processing can I change a compamy that I work for?
--6 months after filing the I-485. safer to wait for teh I140 to also be approved by that point. (the law says your I-140 must be 'approvable'. I-140s are taking 12-18 months

If I were in your place, I would drop this LC and file the one in EB2 asap.
