I have the same issue...my original DOB is different from whats in all my offical documents....local muncipality in India had my birth certficate with original DOB...I said we dont have birth certificate at all...so, they issued me certificate of non-availability....this should be easy to get....
if you submit the original one with different DOB than whats in the passport, it will screw up the whole thing.....

Legislatively, is there a way the bill can be revived? If so, can we involve the democrats by lobbying through the south asian/indian caucas?

Nik gives some good advice.
If you still want to continue shooting during the darker part of the show (and don't want to "fix" they eyes of every animal shot), you'll have to find a better way to light things - this means not using a direct strobe from the camera to the animal (or cowboy), as this is what causes the red/white eyes - light reflecting straight back from the eye to the camera.
The simple way to solve this is to get an off-camera hotshoe for the flash, and place it at 30-45 degree angle away from where you're shooting in relaton to the subject. To get the best results, you'll probably want to have TWO flashes, both at an angle from the subject.
You still won't get "all" great shots, but they will be noticably better than the current setup.
The next step further would be to use proper studio strobes (two or three). Of course, you can no longer just walk into the arena with your camera at this point, but you probably need permission to put up some 6-8 foot tall stands with the strobe on it, and find some power sockets to connect the strobe power unit to, etc, etc... This is similar to how I understand that Kevin Sadler does his job - and horse-shows and that sort of thing is his business... He may well be around to give more advice at some point.

alright fresh from this incident. my mother had 10 yr tourist visa expiring in 3 months after her travel date. in the old days it was recommended that you have at least 6 month visa validity when entering US for immigration purposes. Following that guideline she applied for a new tourist visa of course referring the current one on passport. While during her interview they didn't ask her any questions and told her that its a go. Her application got stuck in security verification which triggered due to the fact that she already had a valid visa. Upon researching further I found out you are safe to travel even a day before your visa is expiring because once you enter the country your stay is based on I-94 validity and not your visa. Hope this helps.

They are still good but they are direct to IO desks at NSC. I did not want to start barrage of calls to them. What I can do is I can PM you the numbers. You had been a contributing member and I would happy to tell you what I know. But please exercise your judgement....
You had some numbers there, are they not good anymore?

President Obama recently mentioned plans for holding a White House meeting to discuss proceeding with immigration reform legislation. And now he is keeping that promise by setting June 8th, just three weeks from now, to hold the meeting. According to Politico: "The meeting will be an opportunity to launch a policy conversation that we hope will be able to start a debate that will take place in Congress later in the year," the official, who asked not to be named, said. Asked if the session would be billed as a summit or a forum, like similar meetings on health care...

i see the estimate tool is showing
max weekly is $415
max benifits is $10k
I thought it was like 1/2 of your salary.
It will be much less considering taxes and deductions like child support etc.. :D

Did S.1932 say that we have to wait for I-140 approval to apply for I485 ?
There was lot of discussion regarding this in immigrationportal.com S.1932 thread but I did not know the actual facts.

have you considered asking your client to hire you effective jan 20, but take unpaid leave until jan 25 or whenever they are ready to hire you?
That would have worked if the Client had already finished the hiring process and filed for my extension b4 my I-94 expires on Jan 20... I am yet to appear for the interview, it is just that i have some strong references (and they have multiple openings) so I have extremely good chances of getting hired ... so, no, this idea won't work :(... Jan 25th was just a imaginary date that i gave... the hiring process may take couple weeks more than that (yup, unfortunately, it's that slow) ... I was just trying to find out what are my options after Jan 20... would I be just stuck with this staffing company or could I have the Client file for my extension... if it is legally not possible then I might as well just forget about this opportunity :(

Hey arnet! I am having the same problem. I filed for EAD renewal and then I got my card the other day, but problem is they gave me the same expiration date w/c is Jan. 2007. I called the 1-800# 4 times the day after I got my new card to let them know of the error. I never felt so disappointed and frustrated in my whole life! The first 3 representative I spoke could not tell me anything but "sorry we can't do anything about that". One of them even told me to go to the USCIS where I had my biometrics taken.. and that was 5 hours drive from where I live. I was so pissed. Then I tried to call again that same day just to see if there's anyone in their customer service who has some sense to tell me. And luckily a lady answered and she told me to fill out another I-767 form and send it to the service center who approved my case without the filing fee. That is if it's their fault, they're going to waive the fee.
The only thing that gets to me is, we put our trust in these people to do their part.. because we do. We pay our taxes, we pay for all these filing fees, we do not violate their country.. we're just here to work. Yet after all the waiting that we do, all the hoping, all the sacrifices..this is all we get. A MISTAKE on our IDs.
I filled out a new EAD application, made copies of all the notices I received from them regarding this application...and I even wrote a damn letter just to explain what happened. I'm in so much pressure right now because I need to have my new card as soon as possible... I am due for renewal of my driver's license. If I can't have that card by the end of this year, I am doomed! I will lose my license and my job. Thanks to them! :mad:
This is one good reason I support the person who posted on another thread that one keeps status in H1B and not work with EAD. I an not trying to justify the USCIS mess up but if you have the option to keep extending H1 until you get GC, please do so.

My AP has expired in Jan 09. I am NOT planing to go out. My question is what do I have to do after I-94 date of oct 21 09 is past. Will it make me out of status?
It's complicated. You are not in any defined "status", but you are authorized to stay while you have an adjustment of Status pending. You are not authorized to work or travel, however - you need the EAD and AP for that, if you don't have H-1B or other nonimmigrant status.

You would be best served with the services of an experienced attorney in this area. This is a rather difficult situation. Any answers on this board are likely to be speculative. Some money spent in this critical juncture would be money well spent.
From what I can see, you have 2 options, either to continue with your currently approved 140 and file for a 485 or get a new one and try to affix your PD from the old approved 140. Either way once you get to the 485 stage you should be more secure in things, and can then look to invoke AC 21 rules.
What I want is that if I could use this approved 140 thenI could be safe,but with a new 140 I am scared that it will take 4 months and I could not take advantage of filing 485.

Hello Sir,
I'm in H1B visa, so also my husband.
In this time of recession, i fear if I'm laid off, wanted to seek your valuable guiance on the following:
- transfer my status from H1 to H4? have all pay stubs in tact.
- return back to H1 B status once I find an opening with new company? All I will need to do is transfer my H4 status back to my same H1B visa?
- visa in passport is originally stamped for Oct 2009 when I came from India, and I have my new I797 with validity date as Apr 2011. Do I still have I797 as valid even if I'm laid off?
Please let me have your views on this. Highly appreciate a speedy response.
Thank you in advance,
Shivani:confused:

I am sure anybodywho has a concept of fairness understands Eb3 candidate waiting for 5 years deserves to be in Eb2 just by definition of Eb2 and he is not taking any new job which means he is not displacing any new american worker.
Per the current Labor laws, you cannot use experience gained from same employer in PERM certification unless job changes by 50%. And if the job changes by 50% then it is a new Job and you are replacing a potential American worker. And if you are still doing the same job, then even though you have gained 5 yrs experience, your job requirements did not change(ie B.S + no experience). The EB category is determined based on what is the requirement for your job rather than your qualifiction.
That is why the provision of porting is a case by case item rather than a blanket rule applying to anyone in EB3 for 5+ years. And the backlash won't be from a few EB2 folks (it will be about a 100K folks).;)

Check with your lawyer. Extension beyond 6 yrs is not available if you are eligible to apply for I485. If you are not able to apply for 485 because of retrogression, you can extend your H1 beyond 6 yrs (of course, it doesnt apply to you).
This is not correct. you can apply for 1 year extensions if you have applied for 485 and is pending.

Looks like everything in GM is on sale.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=ae2V3Y.7j85k&refer=news
Saturn is sold for $100 to $200 mn.
Who knows GM may sell the retired brands for 1 or 2 mn.

Now the important question.
Did tatas overpay for jaguar and landrover ? Looks like they did.
