My birth certificate does not have my name on it. (in india it is OK to name the new born a few weeks after birth.) so it just says "baby boy" on it:)
Do i need an affidavit from my parents mentioning my name?

I was told by consulate staff that the PIO card should be endorsed with the new passport # when you renew your foreign passport. I guess if you are traveling with both the old and new passport it should be ok, since they can verify right there. It is also a hassle endorsing the PIO card everytime you renew your passport. If you try to find out from the embassy/consulate ( that itself is a hassle), they will probably try to sell you for an endorsement. I do not know about the fees. I will be surprised if they didn't have one for endorsement.

Hi,
My wife is going to apply for both H4 and H1 visa. Since marriage is in March end, she will come to US on H4 visa. Her H1 visa will be applied as if she were in India. Now her I94 will say H4. Once she gets her H1B, she will have to go out of country to get new I94.
We can go to Mexico to get it stamped and hence get new I94. If for some reason, H1B is rejected, can she still enter the US on H4 visa?
Thanx,
My advice - Bring her in using H4 visa stamped on her passport based on your H1B. The H1, even if she gets (in the 2009 quota which needs to be applied on April 1st 2008) cannot be used before Oct 2008 as all new H1s can be used only from the month of Oct. That H1B approval will come with its I-94 attached. Once October arrives, she can start working on her H1B. She does not need to go anywhere to get it stamped.
When you go out of USA on vacation the next time, she can have her H1B visa stamped on her passport.

I was looking at status of my EAD I applied on 15th October'2008 online at TSC.Status shows that my card has been ordered for production on 31st October.I received letter for Biometric appointment on 5th November. I went to ASC on Saturday( 11/1/2008) and had my fingerprinting done.
How can they order the card on 31st october when my biometrics were done by that date and my appointment was set for 5th Nov 2008 ? Anybody faced the same situation? I had gone for finger printing for I-485 this January.
That is why it is USCIS. You never expect a pattern from or Standard Operating Procedure, it is random...
I wonder if you will receive the actual card without fingerprints.

My wife has her H-4 visa expired. She has her papers(I-797) valid until Dec 2010.
My firm plans on filing an extension for my H1 and my wife's H4 next month. Is it ok for her to stay in India while the H1/H4 extension is getting processed?
Is it ok to travel via Frakfurt? Would she need a transit visa?
Please advice. Thank you,for your responses.
Yes. We faced this problem once. She should either stay in India or the US until the H4 approval notice comes through. Try not to travel after the extension application is filed.
Remember that if she is in the US, then you will submit her current I-94 which will be renewed by USCIS and that will also appear at the bottom of the I-797 approval notice. If she travels back to the US, then she will get a new I-94 (new number) that will expire in Dec 2010 (she will need a new visa stamp to travel, BTW). You then have to go through the additional steps of sending that to USCIS and/or filing again for extending the "new" I-94.
I don't know for sure how big of a problem it is, but I think it is a big problem to have an I-94 that does not match what is on the approval notice.
If she stays in India, however, then she will get a clean H4 approval notice....No I-94 problems there.
But please check with your lawyers too..

Hello,
I wonder if there is anybody who could help me with my questions about the diversity visa in US.
I was among the randomly selected people for DV 2009. Currently I am in US with F-1 visa. I learned that I am eligible for Adjustment of Status. Do you think it is reasonable to process my files in US or should I go back to my country?
What kind of documents should I fill in? Also I need to pay the filing fees (for I-485 $930 for example). Are there any other costs? I also read that there is a medical examination report, how much could it cost to me?
So after reviewing everything what will be the best decision for me? I asked an attorney but he didn't have enough of experience to help me, and I can not afford one more attorney.
I will be thankful if somebody could enlighten me on these.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
You can email to E-Filing.Support@dhs.gov requesting the receipt notice in pdf format. I had the same situation and i emailed the above Id and got receipt notice (pdf) in 48hrs. BTW in the email give your receipt number.
Thanks,

Very useful info. But it seems that "beautifulMind" does not have receipt number. Best thing would be to wait. Finding out whether payment is received in USCIS or not will be helpful (e.g calling credit card company).
One more thing, now a days USCIS started taking more than a week for sending confirmation or FP notice. This may be due to more work load or intentional delay due to multi-year EAD.

I think my employer is not willing to sponsor the process due to some reasons.
Is there any other way of processing the Green card.Can i initiate it myself along with a lawyer
The only way you can make use of the fast track option available for L-1A visas is through your L employer. There is no other way.
One other option is to get a H-1b through a different employer who is also willing to sponsor a GC.
A sleazy option is to find one of those green card shops who will sponsor your GC for future employment in exchange for a fee. You can continue with your current L employer and your GC will continue through Mr Sleaze. Obviously this is abusing the system, but you would be surprised to know how many are doing it.
Note that both these options are not fast track. You will have to go through the full process and wait time.

Hi,
I am in a fixed situation and in big dilemma.
My H1 is expiring in 2007 June first week.
My current employer's (A) attorney is useless and I had to struggle for a year to get my labor filed.
Labor got approved recently and still struggling to file my I-140 in premium.
Meanwhile, I got an offer for permanent employment in a good organization (B).
I would like take that offer but issues that are bothering me are:
1. If I wait and finish my I-140 with current company (A), do I have to get 3 years H1 extension with Company (A) before transferring to company (B)?
2. Do company (B) have rights to extend my H1 visa for 3 years with I-140 approval from current company (A)?
3. Is it safe to switch companies immediately after I-140 approval? I thought 180 days time is preferred but I don�t have the luxury of waiting for 180 days.
Please help me with these questions.
Thanks!!!

what is the purpose of this?
If it is to share comments between people working on the same project, it would probably be easier to convert it to xps and use document viewer to see it. And then the comments could be saved as a .txt file and sent with the other file.
Thats my 2 cents although it would be cool to get it working the way you first envisioned.

ok.. do you mean editing an imported object in flash as if you were workin' in swift? if so.. you can't
as I said.. you can relatively edit the swf in flash.. let's say that flash doesn't know that the object it's in 3D.. for flash that's just another shape makin' your movie bigger.
importing your movie in swft format you'll have a little more control over it.. because the swift 3D flash importer separates highlights, shadows, objects, etc. to its own layer.
just in case you don't know how to import any file go to: File � Import
hope that helps :)

Hello everyone and thank you IV for all your great work. Much appreciated.
I have a (hopefully ) simple question:
I am EB2 (had been current the whole time) and I am just now ready to file my I-140 and I-485.
That said and considering the now new window to file (till 8/17), should I premium process the I-140? Does it even matter? Am I going to basically throw away $1000?
I had ready that they would not even touch the I-485 till the I-140 was approved but that sounds like a contradiction to concurrent filing, right?
Any info, tips would be greatly appreciated.
My attorney is ready to file but I want to make sure I ask the right questions/get the right info from them before they do so.
Thank you all once again!
That's right, premium processing has been suspended. Yes it is true i-485 is not touched until i-140 is approved, but they will process EAD and AP. They just cannot decide the i-485 BCOS it is based on an immigrant petition. IF the immigrant petition has not been decided, they cannot do anything about the i-485. Hope this helps

The biggest difference between different length macro lenses is the working distance. A longer lens gives you more room in front of the lens, can be good to not scare some critters away, and also to not run into problems with lighting. Personally I like a 90/100/105 mm (different brands) or longer for the working distance. Most lenses now have a 1:1 magnification so there's no difference there.
I don't know anything about Nikon lenses, but in general all Nikon/Canon/Sigma/Tamron fixed focal length macro lenses are very good.

Anyone out there knows the answer?
I am currently working for Company A which sponsors my H1B. I wonder if I can work for another company on a part time basis. What's the requirement for concurrent H1B filing? And does concurrent H1B filing requires a new H1B application against the quota? Please provide guidance.
why do u want to work part time on H1 with multiple employers?
Why can't u go for full time with Company A??

Generally attorneys charge a retainer fee. What that means is they are willing to represent you regarding any issues with a case. Some services are covered with retainer fee and they may charge additional fee based on any extra work. For Example AC21 Retainer fee is around 750/- where they submit a G28. Then for any RFE they generally charge in the range of 250$.

Once you are on EAD, you cannot go go back to H1B. The reason is by working on EAD you showed an intent to immigrate and where as H1B is a non-immigrant visa
