Hi Gary,
I don't do studio stuff, so I can't advise on lighting, and you already have a lot of expert advice there already :)
My observations are; I think the glass itself looks great, but the red ornaments in #2 are distracting. Obviously a matter of taste since jpreston likes them. The background, keeping in mind that you improvised, has horizontal folds that I found distracting. A piece of black velvet or similar material would fix that, and isn't too expensive if you stick to one or two. I think the backgrounds become expensive when you buy a variety and have the means to move them around quickly to increase paying studio throughput. I think both images look good in general.

Hello IV Freinds,
I checked my mail last Saturday, got Cards and welcome approval notices in mail. Status at USCIS website still shows all cases pending. I had called my Senators office for follow up week before as processing dates also had also passed.
I appreciate IV for providing this website for sharing our immigration issues and concerns in this long journey.
Good luck to all IV members who are still awaiting for good day to come.
Thanks,

Hello Folks,
I also read, if there was a pending EAD renewal, your case might get looked at and instead of renewing your EAD, USCIS will rather give you GC - provided PD is current and there are no other issues.
The USCIS systems are not that sophisticated as we think they are.
For me, I have opened an SR on Aug 4, got CPO on Aug 11, then the SR response came on Aug19 saying that my GC has been approved :)
...and wait there's more!
Aug 13 or so, they approved my pending EAD, this after approving GC on Aug 11. Lets give them a benefit of doubt assuming that their various servers didnt get synced up in those two days.
Last week of August, they send me information on my AP that was approved earlier and for which i had my attorney send an enquiry (as I didnt receive the AP by then)....
so basically what this shows is that mostly there exists a high disconnect in their various servers/databases, and most probably their processes are highly manual.
Gist of this, highly disconnected systems and I dont think SR would lead to anything..
But, yours looks like a porting case - so possibly they might have the wrong dates - it might help to open an SR or go for infopass...

2006PD people are younger (most of them) and can contribute to the future to a greater extent and have less baggage :D
How come most of the 2006 PD holders getting approved? I do not have any grudge against who have 2006 PD and got their AOS approved. I am just wondering as to what is making USCIS to choose only 2006 PD ? Definitely, the low hanging fruits theory does not seem to be working here. Anybody has any idea about that ? I am just frustrated.

Gurus, help needed urgently - I had mailed my I-765 on Saturday via express delivery to the Texas Service Center as I live in NJ. The address I sent it to was
USCIS
Texas Service Center
P.O Box 851041
Mesquite, TX 75185-1041
I checked my USPS tracking status, and it says the following
We attempted to deliver your item at 10:33 AM on June 23, 2008 in MESQUITE, TX 75185 and a notice was left. A second delivery attempt will be made. If unsuccessful, we will hold it for five business days and then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
Has this happened with anyone else? I cross checked the address and its correct. So what should be done in this case?
Yes. I sent my ead renewal app on friday to reach on saturday. On saturday, when I checked the status, it was exactly the status you have written. When I checked again this morning (Monday), it said the mail was accepted at 5.30 am this morning.
I find it hard to believe the mail was delivered to and was signed by someone at USCIS at 5.30 in the morning. So I think it is just a problem with USPS and the way they update status.

How early do I need to apply to get an appointment at vancouver or Toronto or Mexico?
Vancouver stamping experience (Oct 2009):
Guys we successfully had our H1B visa stamping done in Vancouver, Canada. First let me start about Vancouver and man what a beautiful place it is. It�s also called Glass City but has its own natural side in which no city can come close.
We flew into Vancouver from Seattle, WA and stayed at Days inn near West Pender St, which we did not like at all. Also take some time for taking pictures inside Vancouver airport. I think they are beautifying the airport for the Winter Olympics in 2010 but the totem poles and some exhibits are worth watching. Taxi ride to the airport is about 30$.
One advantage with Days Inn on West Pender is walking distance to the US embassy. One the visa day we came at 9:00 AM (Tuesday) to the consulate with DS-160 confirmation letter. We uploaded the photos during our electronic submission but better to have additional photos as we have seen many people being sent out as the picture in the application was not clear. The whole process took about 2 Hours and I was back to the hotel room by about 11:30 AM.
After the consulate visit on Tuesday we immediately shifted to Century Plaza Hotel & Spa. We got a good deal for Century Plaza and were surprised at the level of luxury we got.
I was only asked for my H1B approval document. The officer asked questions about our previous work location as he was from the same place. I was told to collect the document on Thursday as Wednesday was a holiday. We booked our tickets for Friday as we thought it would take two days to get our passport back.
The Friday journey meant we had lots of time to visit some amazing places in Vancouver, Canada. We visited Stanley park (must visit), Granville Island (very expensive-not much to do-liked the boat taxi), Canada place (beautiful spot for a great view), Robson street (nice street for shopping), Victoria Island (long travel but a worthy one), Caplilano suspension bridge (Did not find it too surprising), Bushart gardens-Victoria Island (must visit) and Parliament building-Victoria Island (must visit). Heard lot of good reviews about British Columbia history museum but missed it. Public transportation is great in Vancouver but do take enough time if you are planning for it. Also do take two days if you want to cover Victoria Island. The journey (Bus+BCFerry) itself takes half day.
Some of the places I would recommend for food are Banana leaf Malaysian restaurant, India Bistro and Sala Thai.
We were very depressed by the thought of another Visa stamping but Vancouver visit changed the entire episode. Been to Toronto and Ottawa before but nothing like Vancouver.

If you have GC plans, then Satyam may not be the place.

I would suggest to stay with your employer and get your I-140 done through premium processing . Once I-140 done then transfer H1B with new employer and start new GC processing too.
I highly appreciate your advice. It sads that you had to go throught GC process so many times. In fact this is my third I-140 too. The first two never got approved due to silly administartive errors on employers part ( old check and job notice at wrong site) and I had to abandon them.
One of the other fix I have is : if I should leave my present job or not , as my fear of loosing job might just be in mind. I am wondering, if worse comes to worse and if I loose job with an approved I-140, will I be able to secure job with another employer and use this I-140 to get an extension. I am a Physical Therapist and EB-2 positions are hard to come by in the state I am in. I want to take the risk to stay with this employer and take my chances. But I also want to have a back plan ( premium processing I-140).I dont know if it can work. Please share your thoughts.

Perhaps I am missing something. I thought you could get an extension beyond six years only if:
1. Your labor was pending for more than 360 days OR
2. Your I-140 was approved
I did not know that you could get an extension if:
Your labor was approved and your I-140 was still pending.
My understanding is that the USCIS came out with the I-140 premium processing only to address the above scenario. Perhaps someone who has dealt with this first hand can enlighthen us.
you can get an H1 extension if your LC is approved and I-140 is pending as long as the LC is>365 days. ie. for that 365 day rule LC has to be approved OR pending, its state does not matter. It just needs to be old enough.
USCIS is now doing premium processing of I-140 for people whose LC is <365 days old at the point their H1 runs out. THere is no other way than an approved I-140 for these people to get an extension.

Hi All,
Please clarify my doubts if you can.
The G-325A form is asking for dates of previous employment. I have an issue here.....
I did an L1 to H1 transfer in 2005. My L1 was valid till APRIL 2006. So my intention was to work with L1 employer till April 2006 and then switch to H1 employer.
H1 employer also applied for a change of status, I was not aware of the whole status issue that time. I asked the H1 company's lawyer whether I could continue with my L1 employer after getting the H1 and she said it's fine.
So I got the H1B approval in Oct 2005, but still continued with L1 employer till APRIL 2006, then switched to H1.
Recently I came to know that this could be an issue. When I was filling the G-325A form, I wondered if I specify that I worked with the L1 employer till APRIL 2006, would they catch this?? Even if they catch , how big an issue would this be??
If I put the dates to reflect the dates to show that I quit my L1 employer in Oct 2005 itself, would this be an issue?? I guess in this case, if by any chance they ask for any further evidence like pay stubs or W2 in that period of time, I would be in trouble.
Any advice is appreciated. I'm afraid to talk about this to my current company attorney....
Thanks.
Did you get new I-94 with H1 transfer?
Any re-entry in USA after that?

Hey,
Thanks for the response.
One quick clarification:
a) COS from H4 to H1 B status, does'nt need me to go through the quota/lottery system etc. Am I right?, because I did hear this from some folks that I would *not* have to go through the quota since I originally had a H1 B visa with validity date. ?
b) In case of my finding an opening with new employer & shifting COS back to H1 from H4, what time frame would it take?
c) further addition to point b) what kinds of documents would I need to submit to INS for COS back to H1? any idea?
Again thanks guys! Have a great day...
Shivani :)
a) Your H1 will be exempt from quota.
b) Since you were on H1 status before, you can start working immediately after getting receipt for COS from H4 to H1.
c) Same as any H1 petition. Also, since this is COS, you must be in valid H4 status when COS to H1 is filed.

Yes, you can file for multiple visa simultaneously. Your I-9 may determine where you landed at last.
People have no jobs and you are talking about several offers;)
Thanks. I know H1B visa can be applied through multiple employers at the same time ... what I was wondering that can it be applied by the second employer after the expiry of my I-94 ?? Because I have heard that one of the criteria for filing for extension is that it must be filed b4 the expiry of I-94, and that concerns me...
and, no, buddy, i don't have multiple job offers, the 1st company is simply a staffing company with which I would be filing just so that i don't go 'out of status' b4 i get the job with the 2nd company ... i'll be paying the fees from my pocket... I have good chances that i will get that job but not certain... i wish i had several offers... i am just trying to figure out what my options are here...
