Passage of Immigration reform in the senate was not at all a problem, they have passed it more then once before. It is the house that rejected all of them. No wonder pelosi dosn't want any of it :), but again she is a strong women who passed health care reform... There is more probablity of this thing going through if the house passed the resolution first, just like the other legislation.

Glad to have been of assistance and happy that the IV core played the greatest part in getting the story out. Lets keep our eyes and ears open as we look out for more opportunities. There is a potential opportunity from this article shared by gonecrazyonh4 : http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=9627&postcount=321
I looked around the site and found out that the misleading article was an op-ed and that the paper actually has someone dedicated to immigration issues. I found the following info, it might be worth following up as part of telling the other side of the story and correcting misperceptions that may have been created :
Brenda Gazzar : brenda.gazzar at dailybulletin.com, Immigration and Ethnic Issues (909) 483-9355

"Flight Capital: The Alarming Exodus of America's Best And Brightest" by David Heenan describes how many other countries are working to become world leaders in technology. Because of new opportunities in their native countries, fewer ultra-high-talent foreign students are seeking higher education in America.
What isn't well understood by most Americans is just how dependent America is upon imported, foreign talent.
Heenan writes: "Today, the country continues to benefit enormously from being a magnet for inventive and ambitious people who stimulate the economy, create wealth, and improve overall living standards. Chinese and Indian immigrants run nearly a quarter of Silicon Valley's high-tech firms. Half of the Americans who shared Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry in the past seven years were born elsewhere. Nearly 40 percent of MIT graduate students are from abroad. More than half of all Ph.D.s working here are foreign-born, as are 45 percent of physicists, computer scientists, and mathematicians. One-third of all current physics teachers and one-fourth of all women doctors immigrated to this country."
Many talented students come to America, because America has the best graduate schools in the world. That strength gives America a brain influx from other countries. But, other countries are catching up. We learn the Indian Institutes of Technology are more difficult to get into than MIT or Harvard.
This guy needs to talk to Lou Dobbs:D

Nice work. I definately like the second shot better with the red bulbs. You could try to rig up a "tent" over and around the sides of the shot with white sheets and put some lights shining thru that. That would give you a bit more consistency and cut down on the specular highlights a bit (although they are not bad by any means in either of these shots.
Another option would be to go for a really slow shutter speed and use a flashlight to "paint" the glasses. This sort of thing takes a lot of practice but I've seen some excellent shots done by this method.

1) If i file a non-profit h1b visa , i was suggested that i can work immediately, is that true?
As far as I understood cap-exempt visa are not for all non profits. It is for non profit research organizations only. That is the reason most universities/charity research organizations qualify for it.
3) I have been searching monster, indeed etc to find a sponsorer for my visa, i attended 2 interviews till now and cleared them too but when it comes to work permit they are not willing to do h1 for me. I have lost all hopes and posting here to find out if there are any companies who are willing to do h1b.
Try not to going through any consulting stuff just to file in April. Consulting companies are going through rough phase and USCIS is getting very strict with them (this is just my preception from what I am hearing around).
I am little into CRA position right now working for university. send me pm if you need info.

Friends, can someone help answer a few questions for considering filed I-485 and adding spouse at the later. I am planning to get married in the January or february time frame in India. I have read at several places that one can add spouse anytime BEFORE 485 APPROVAL. I work on H1B, I am from India and my priority date is Oct 06 with approved EAD and I 485 pending. I have some specific questions in case my priority date becomes current. My question is -
1. Can I travel and enter on my H1 even if my AP is approved/pending?
2. Is it safer to travel on AP even if I have a valid/invalid H1 stamped on my passport?
3. Can my wife enter on H4 and then we add her name to 485 when she is in US?
Thanks for any/all additional help you can provide with my scenario. I can be flexible if someone has any suggestions that can help my case.
Of course I will be taking my lawyer's advice and use your suggestions to enchance my knowledge and present some scenarios to the lawyer.
Thanks for all your help!!

When My immigration came through, my family and I all flew down by air, stamped ourselves as Landed Immigrants and then came back to states.
You will have to give somebody's address at the airport and also apply for your PR card before you come back to states. Once you get your PR card then you are free to travel even by road passing the border post otherwise without the PR card you will have to apply for a visa every time you go to Canada. The PR card will be posted to the that somebody's house so that person can post it to the US. I am a landed immigrant since Feb 2005 but still live in states.
To maintain the PR status you have to be the country for 2 years.

Guys Here are my ideas for actions.
Our community is facing basically two types of problems
1) Visa number shortage.
2) USCIS Administrative problems.
Visa Number shortage is not fixable without proper law change.
While USCIS Administrative problems are easier to handle.
I would suggest, after new homeland security secretary (Janet Napolitano) takes office on Jan 20 2009, We should simply take 30 minute appointment.
Sit down with her....and explain her along with "Power point" presentation.
We are highly skilled professionals, so lets tackle these issue very professional way.
We should explain her about following things
- Out of order case processing ( this will fix about 40% of our problems)
Since our case becomes very very predictible.. one can sleep at night without checking their emails from CRIS.
- Timely publication of numbers.
- Proper publication of backlog numbers with details for each category.
- Open communication with IV community just like Ombudsman take calls from public.
- Please add your idea here
Thanks!
Naushit.

We all know, Mexican govt. lobbied quite a lot for there ppl. Looks like its a fair course. NRIs serve both interests US and back home. India and US seem to be strong allies now then ever, so perhaps we should ask the Indian govt. to voice our concerns.
Its only fair when illegals can get all the attention, why can't we.

Yes, the SB800 is the best option for a flash with the D70 (http://www.noendpress.com/pvachier/cameras/nikon_D70.php). As for lenses, depends on what you need. I think the 50mm 1.8 is a great lens for only $100. Works very well for wider portraits and any kind of low light photography. If you have the money to spend, the 12-24 is also a very useful lens.
