After seeing the State of The Union Speech I wrote to the President about green card processing delays and immigration reform.
I would recommend you all do the same.
Hoping he reads at-least one of our letters and show some mercy + change!
The address to mail is:

Thanks!

Here is one of the comments below that article that makes sense too (claims to be from a congressional staffer):
As a congressional staffer, I'd say you should just call. Even if you address the letter to the LA, it will likely be passed off to an intern or an LC (legislative correspondent). Writing to constituents is not fun, and most offices have people that do it all day long.
More than likely, an intern will pick up. DO NOT just start rambling about whatever issue you want to gripe about. This signals the person who answered that you are crazy, and should not be speaking to a staff member. They are very busy, and no one is going to pass a crazy person off to their boss. The intern will know to either say "We'll pass that on for you" (which he will not), or say "I've made a note and I'll deliver it to the congressman" (again, he will not). Interns don't know anything, nor do they have the power to do anything.
Instead, simply say your full name and ask whoever is on the phone to speak with the LA who handles the issue about which you are concerned. Be calm, be stern. If you speak to the LA, don't just start off with "I have some opinions I'd like you to know; here they are!" Instead, ask questions! Ask what the congressman's positions are on the issues. Ask why. Explain your own position. Finally, ask if there is any other information the staffer might need.
You might be passed off to voice mail. Do NOT give your opinions here. Simply say that you have some concerns about a certain issue, and that you would like a call back.
Most offices have daily callers and letter writers who leave incoherent notes and messages about anything from UFOs to mexican truck drivers. Your goal should be to separate yourself from this crowd.
Do this, and be rational, and you just might make a difference.

I think any non-H1 (including H4) stay wont count. You will have full 6 yrs on H1 visa.
Hi,
I am currently in L1B visa , i am in US for 40 Months. The total period that i can be in US in L1B is 5 yrs .
I am planning to do my H1B this year (2008), having already elapsed 40 months, if i get a H1B will the period elapsed ( 40 months in L1B) be accounted or i will get the H1b for 3 yrs.
Thanks

I received a duplicate order from Hewlett-Packard. Per the customer service person I was instructed to remove the shipping label and write the return number on the box, then call Fed Ex for a pickup, all of which I did. Now, a few weeks later my credit card account has not been credited. I've called the customer service people several times, and received a transmitting tracking number for the return. I've called Fed Ex who say what I have is not adequate to track the item supposedly sitting at their warehouse. I've spoken to the supervisor at HP, and she, like everyone else, keeps referring my problem to the "return specialist", who is supposed to query Fed Ex about this, but nothing happens. Their excuse is that they don't have the actual tracking number to do this. One HP rep I spoke to told me that the return item had not been scanned since the initiation of the return, implying negligence. Yeah somebody dropped the ball. Where do I go next to get some action taken?
Dispute through credit card if possible, just tell them you sent back the item and company did not credit the amount.

Fedex is fine. Proof that USCIS got the application is enough to use H1b portability provided you were in valid status and were getting paid.

Released: March 17, 2011
WASHINGTON�In light of the recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds Japanese nationals of certain U.S. immigration benefits available upon request.
USCIS understands that a natural disaster can affect an individual�s ability to establish or maintain lawful immigration status. Temporary relief measures available to eligible nationals of Japan may include:
The grant of an application for change or extension of nonimmigrant status for an individual currently in the United States, even when the request is filed after the authorized period of admission has expired;
Re-parole of individuals granted parole by USCIS;
Extension of certain grants of advance parole, and expedited processing of advance parole requests;
Expedited adjudication and approval, where possible, of requests for off-campus employment authorization for F-1 students experiencing severe economic hardship;
Expedited processing of immigrant petitions for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs);
Expedited employment authorization where appropriate; and
Assistance to LPRs stranded overseas without immigration documents such as Green Cards. USCIS and the Department of State will coordinate on these matters when the LPR is stranded in a place that has no local USCIS office.
Visitors traveling under the Visa Waiver Program may visit a USCIS local office (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=e39c0b89284a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=e39c0b89284a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60a RCRD) for assistance. Japanese nationals who are at a U.S. airport may contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office there.
For more information on USCIS humanitarian programs, visit www.uscis.gov (http://www.uscis.gov/) or call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

Thanks for taking time to answer my query. I have other problem so I am confused about this fact. My spouse's name is correct on passport. but her mother's surname has spelling mistake.All other details are correct. We were not aware of the fact till now. Now we are in the process of applying for I485.
So I am worried about all this. If I take affidavit, it will work?
Thank you

Hello Everyone,
Here is my situation:
1) My 6 years H1B with Company-A ends Sept 2011
2) I-140 approved and my priority date is Aug 2006.
3) Company-B(end client) offered a full-time position starting Jan 2010.
What are my options? My questions are:
1) Will I be eligible to extend my H1B with Company-B for another 3 years? Do I need a I-140 with Company-B to extend?
2) Is it possible to use the labor and I-140, that I filed when I was with Company-A, to file for I-485? If I can, can I file the I-485 independent of Company-A? Do I need any kind of approval or paper work from Company-A?
3) When Company-B sponsors my GC is it possible to port the priority date? Do I need to restart the whole GC process again with Company-B?
I am really confused. Please help.
(1) You can transfer your H1B for company B up to Sep 2011, but cannot extend it.
(2) Assuming you have not filed your I-485, you can not use labor/I-140 of company A. A fresh Labor and I-140 will be required.
(3) Priority date will be ported from your original application with company A

Based on the knowledge I have.
1. Can my hospital file for my PERM and subsequently for GC while I am still doing chief residency on cap exempt visa and technically a part of residency program which is cap exempt?
If it is a profit based company then you are no more cap exempt. You have to file a new H1B asap.
2. Will i need a new H1b process with the hospital as it has changed from cap exempt to cap status as it is no longer non profit?
They have to file a new H1B for you.
3.My prospective employment date will be June 19 2011 as till then I will be working as chief resident, so what would be the earliest date for filing the PERM and H1b application
GC is for future employment. When they apply for Prevailing wage they have to apply based on your 2011 position (Hospitalist/Teaching Hospitalist/ Primary care doctor). They can file your GC now.

oi antonio, tudo bem? brasil vs. croatia hoje... muito facil para os brasileiros :)
a couple of comments. i agree with el hacko and jliechty that the front strawberry should be the one in focus. the ones that are in focus are not special and you can't see the entire berry so there is no compelling reason to focus on them. at least the one in the front is whole and big.
you might also want to 'soften' the light and eliminate the hot spots (overexposed) that are on the fruit. there should be more pretty color where you see white. you can use bounce flash or a diffuser to accomplish this and still get the bright look.
adding more attractive texture to the strawberries might be accomplished with some water droplets, especially on the leaves which look kind of dry.
food photography is one of the hardest disciplines but you're doing a great job.
e eu gosto da fruta do seu pais!!!

I'm in the same situation. There is a 1 letter difference in my Father's name in the passport and in my birth certificate.
My lawyer went ahead and filed my 485. I did an affidavit later and sent it to the lawyer. He says he'll send the affidavit only if there is an RFE. Hope the helps.

It is very simple actually. It most likely will take an hour of your time. And will not cost any $$ to you.
You go to the tester with whom your new employer has a contract; tell them you came for a new employee drug test for so and so company; they will take your ID information and if they need a code from the company; they will take your sample and send you on your way.
They will send the results to your employer over the following few days.
Obviously if you don't do any drugs, you will be OK.
In case of a (false) negative, you will get a chance to challenge.
