Bummer is a word used to express disappointment.
He was not name calling. It takes a while to pick up the slang but it sure helps you to assimilate better.
And, if you were already familiar, before you go on a tirade on me, please hold your horses..
Thanks lskreddy.

I recently added pages to my passport in India while I was in Vaccation. It was painless process as I went through travel agent and have to pay extra money. No police verification is required if your renewing. Adding pages/renewal is all the same process.
If you apply in Tatkal, you will get your passport in a week. If you do in India, I advice you go through some travel agent.
Did not renew here as my job requires frequent travel at short notice.
If you are not travelling internationally then it is best to do it USA.
Thanks

It seems like USCIS is taking steps to up the revenue. I wonder if the next step would be to allow for 485 premium processing.

1. When you were a student did you carry your I-20 with you all the time?
2. When you were on H-1B did you carry it around?
If your answer is yes, then do carry your GC too!
Friends,
Are we required to carry GC with us all the time ? :confused:
My attorney says we must. What if I lose it or damage it ? Can we carry a photocopy ?

Great topic. wating one more year would mean 12 more months of rent. so even if the house depreciates it would break even considering the lost rent. This is just my opinion assuming that the depreciation would be less than 5-10% till next summer. Experts please list out the hidden costs involved in mortgage for new home buyers to be careful about.
There was a talk on my local radio channel sometime back on the topic.
One guy called up and said he was paying $650 as rent and was planning to buy a home instead to build equity.
The expert gave him advice which I totally agree with. He said, a home will cost you a lot more than $650 a month in mortgage, insurance, property tax and maintenance. You will not really make any money for a long time. If you wish to make money, take the extra money you are willing to spend each month and invest in bonds, etc., which can give you better returns.
I think buying a home as an investment is not the greates idea, unless all the above factors have been considered. The real goal should be that the family or individual wants to live in a house instead of an apartment as a lifestyle choice. If this is not the primary goal, then think twice. Especially true in the case of several immigrants who see a home strictly as an investment and are totally obsessed about the money they will make or lose when they sell it.
Let us face it....no one knows what the real estate market will be 5 years from now, and again in 10 years from now and then again and again. If we want to be absolutely sure that we will sell our home someday and we have to make a profit, then no one can give that gurantee. Thinking along those lines is a pointless exercise.

Guys,
I took an info pass last week to check the status of my case. Specifically to check whether the interfile is success or not. IO at USCIS office mentioned that she cannot check whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. I am surprised to hear that. Gurus any has this kind of experience?
Also, She mentioned that my case is assigned to an Officer on August 13th. Do any one has any info how many days(on average), an Office will take to approve a case. Any info. is helpful to me and all.
Overall the Field Office people were polite.
Thanks,
Thun.

Just a bump...and my two cents.
I don't own a D70, I have 10D but...I work in a local camera shop and sell D70's, left and right I might add. I'm hearing quite a bit about this backfocusing issue but nobody seems to be referring to it in the same manner. Most people are just saying their images are soft. At first it seemed like the problem was mainly happening for the people who were used to P/S cameras or simply not used to Nikon's AF system, so we basically gave suggestions similar to what you find here and told them that they could still return the cameras to Nikon if they were in warranty. Anyway, my one co-worker that doesn't shoot Canon buys a D70 and sure enough, he's complaining about soft focus. At middle apertures (on the kit lens, mind you) like 5.6 and 8 his images look sorta acceptable, but not tack sharp. We tried out the 12-24 and got better results (maybe just a sharper lens overall?), as well as with the 10mm fisheye, and of course all of the longer zooms, 80-200, and 200-400 were sharp. Could it just be that the kit lens, which nearly everyone has is just garbage? This guy is now seriously considering the 20D.

I was just quoting that there may be legitimate reasons but this is not a good reason...
It is a very sad story.
I think Karthik Rajaram, the unemployed financial advisor became insane because of financial pressure and internal family problem and did that shameful act.
It is hard to imagine two people aged 45 and 39 with three kids aged 19,12 and 7 can't survive in US - they mush have Citizenship or GC. This sad episode defenetly does not earn Indians a good name. They could have looked out and seen how so many illegal immigrants are surviving. I have heard several times that when God shuts one door, he opens another. Is it in films and story books only? I think, they have not filed for bankrupcy protection yet.
May God bless their soul peace.

Actually I just wanted to point out the generic indifference shown towards the feeling of people of India by mainstream western media and governments - the long wait in immigration queue and ignoring the plight of Indian legal immigrant aspirants , setting a per country quota ignoring its population representation is just an extension of the same mentality... and I also wanted to point out how this mentality of deliberately ignoring Indian feelings and values is going to become increasingly irrelevant in the changing world where BRIC countries will wield increasing power.
Friend la6470, I totally understand your feelings.
However your statement "setting a per country quota ignoring its population representation is just an extension of the same mentality... and I also wanted to point out how this mentality of deliberately ignoring Indian feelings and values is going to become increasingly irrelevant in the changing world where BRIC countries will wield increasing power." can be used against the measures requested for removing the country quota.
Today inspite of the quota we are sort of demanding or in other words saying Google(US based company) should display Diwali. If country quota is abolished many more of us will beome PR and then citizens then we will be in a better position to demand the incorporation of our cultural values/ religious values in this country and thus the cultural/religious equillibrium of this country will get effected. So they will say this is the reason that the country quota should stay.
This way your innocent statement can be used against you and us. This was my concern against these type of nor immigration and matters related to only one country/region/religion being posted in this forum.
Hope you understand me.

What about salary requirements? would it be okay if I get 20-30% lower
salary? Do I have to be getting paychecks every month?
Absolutely. Assuming your I-140 is approved/approvable and will not be withdrawn, you will be able to AC21 to your new position after 180 days of I-485 pending. And the best thing, it will only depend on similarity of the job, and no ability to pay questions. Good luck!

My application reached USCIS on Aug 14th.
How do you guys get to track the status online, do you get the receipt and then track it online.
I am from arizona and dont know which place my lawyer filed the I 485 app with EAD and AP. Is it that applications from arizona go to a specific location so that i can go to USCIS website and get some approximate date.
Please do let me know.
Thanks.
Yes, you create an online account on https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/login.jsp with the provided receipt numbers.
You can also choose to get email notifications every time there is a change in status for any of your applications.

When you join a medical residency on J1 visa, you are subject to 2 years home residency requirement (HRR) before you can apply for green card. What that means i s you have to go back tou your country for 2 years BEFORE you are eligible for any other kind of visa or change in status. You wont be be able to apply for i-485/EAD/ green card even if your husband gets his in the meantime if HRR is not satisfied
The ONLY way to get around the HRR is to sign a contract to work in an medically underserved area for 3 years (on H1b). Once your 3 years are over, you can then apply for GC by what ever means, work or family.
Overall doing residency on J1 is easier as you dont need to clear USMLE step 3, there are more opprtunities as more programs offer J1 positions. Also, if you want to do fellowship, there are more programs in all specialities which will offer J1, not H1. Also, you dont pay medicare or social security tax on J1 which means more money. On the other hand after completing your residency/fellowship you will have less job opportunitis as you will have to find an employer who falls in a geographically underserved area. PM me if you need any more info.

It certainly seems like the RFE rate for supportive evidence has increased recently. Certainly for the 140 cases but also for other petitions as well. I had never received an RFE before, but recently got 2 for different petitions. An RFE always makes you a little antsy no matter how routine it is.
We are also hearing about PERM audits higher and denials also more frequently.
So far the RFEs seem to be for the common issues, like ability to pay, education qualifications etc.
It might be a good idea for someone to compile a list of typical RFEs at various stages. The rest of us can start adding for the benefit of those who get one in the future. In fact it might have been done already. I remember Logiclife putting something together during that 485 filing time in July/Aug.
