Hello All,
I own a D70 and have had major focus issues. I finally spent 3 hrs at the store where I purchased the camera until they finally agreed that it was defective. I just got a call today saying it was repaired. Hopfully it works. I recomend if somebody purchaces the D70, that you test it extensively before you take it out in the field. Out of 4 people I know with this camera, 3 have the focus problems.

IMHO, this is a legitimate website as I have been getting updates from them regularly and they are a supporting group for illegal immigrants path to legalization. As per the email I received today, anti-immigrants have sent 693,437 faxes to Washington this month to oppose reform.

You are absolutely right. Its almost as if democrats are wishing that CIR will go away. As I said in my previous post last time we had, Arlon Specter, Bill Frist and President Bush pushing CIR to the top of the agenda, the senate literaly set aside all buisness in May to get CIR done. This time CIR is like an untouchable disease nobody wants to touch even with a ten foot pole. Maybe something is happenning behind the scenes, we can only hope something is happenning behind the scenes.
In addition to the bills you listed below, you also need to consider the time lost in the dreaded confrence between the house and senate when the bills are reconciled. For example the minimum wage increase bill passed by senate comes with some tax breaks wheras the minimum wage increase bill from house does not have any tax breaks. They have to have a confrence to resolve the differences between the bills and revote on it.
The bottom line is CIR will happen if there is strong will of the congress. Right now you dont see any. Infact congress wants to look the other way when it comes to CIR. They have enough execuses to not do nothing on cir with there preoccupation with Iraq war, the 9 bills listed below etc. Unlike last time no strong man (rather men) is Shepherding it. So best case scenario might be December or Jan 2008.
As some wise man said "patience is a virtue" and we need tons of it if we were to live to see the day CIR passes :D
Let’s see, Senate has so far passed Bill #2
And here are some of the bills in numerical order in which they were listed in Senate
3. Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007
4. Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act of 2007
5. College Student Relief Act of 2007
6. CLEAN Energy Act of 2007
7. College Opportunity Act of 2007
8. Rebuilding America's Military Act of 2007
9. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007
Also on an average it takes about 10 Business days to debate and vote on bill.
Lookup at the senate calendar (working days week offs etc)
Lets assume (when have things gone right for us?) everything goes according to the order listed above. We have 80 days of work before CIR comes to senate.
Considering that senate takes weeks off (first from Feb 19-23, second from April 2-9). I don’t see how they can start CIR before May at the latest.
Now they might say some of the bills could be a days worth of work, or not necessary bills will be taken up in numerical order etc.
But I ask you again. When was the last time we were lucky?

No; the 485 approval and name check are two different things. Even after 485 is approved and your PD is current, you don't get the GC until the name check is cleared.
Interesting, Murthy's report (http://www.murthy.com/mb_pdf/apr2304.pdf) makes a different interpretation. qplearn, could you please clarify your sources or shed some more light on the issue?:confused:
For the record, filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently (EB2) on June 21 at NSC. Got FP, my wife got EAD.

Background : EB2 India PERM applied in Oct'08.PERM RFE Audit notice received on Apr '09 and replied immediately by the lawyer. Currently as per iCert labor website Audit cases being processed as of 07/31/2010 are PD July 2008. My H1B six year completes on Jan 2012.
Question :
- When do I realistically expect any decision on my PERM audit?
- Should I apply for fresh PERM Labor in order to meet the 365 days prior labor applied rule for H1 extensions or should I wait for the audit to be decided? My spouse has EB2-I PD OCT '07 with 140 approved ..waiting to file 485.
- In case I decide to wait,what will be my status if the pending PERM currently under audit filed gets denied? What are my options for further H1 extensions in that situation?
- If advised,when should I plan to file my fresh PERM labor? Given that a RIF took place at my employer at end of May 2010, per my understanding there is a six month wait period after RIF to file for PERM labor. Hence, can I file PERM earliest by the end of Nov, 2010.Am I correct? Will I meet Jan 2011 deadline o file fresh PERM?
-What are your overall suggestions in my case?
Thanks for your help!

I think gas price is a non-issue. Gas in India is more expensive than in the US and considering the income there, the effective cost is even more higher. And yet, people continue to buy more and more without regard for increasing gas prices.
The same logic applies here. Back in 2001, once gas prices starting going up and in places where gas cost $1.30, it hit $1.50 which people found "shocking". And yet, there wasn't the slightest reduction in the number of cars bought. Even now, with all the dismay at soaring prices, nothing much has changed. Freeways are just as jammed as ever.
The fact is, the American is well equipped to deal with $6 prices. The reaction we see is is just due to the unpleasant thought of having to pay more. It is not a showstopper by any stretch of anyone's imagination. At the worst, it just means they will have to cut back on annual vacations which is not a big deal for us, but obviously a catastrophe to the average American.
just for comparison sakes...do remember that the distance from churchgate to virar (in bombay) is 35 km. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai_Suburban_Railway.
That is equivalent of approx 22 miles. I doubt there is anybody is bombay that drives 35 km one way on a daily basis. But in the US living 10-20 miles from work is not bad. People in my office drive about 40 miles one way without blinking an eyelid. Some drive even more. Plus the cars that they have in india have smaller engines, smaller capacity thereby better gas mileage.
So for people who say gas is a non issue, think again.

You should be allocated a visa number if nothing is wrong with your application... If its quite old as it looks to be, they may issue an RFE for EVL.. and you can respond asap and still be optimystic.. Chances are high that you'll get a Visa number assigned to you if the quota doesn't finish in the first week of March... Actual approval can come months later even if the PD has retrogressed...
So chill and prepare for EVL or straight approval...
Name check is irrelevant now.. Its 180 days from when FBI name check was initiated.. Its normally around your Notice Date...
Though my PD is quite old , I didn't get to my I-140 filing until Jan 2007 thanks to the labor certification backlog hell. It was filed premium and approved in Jan 07 itself. And also my I-485 was filed in last week of July. So the information USCIS has is kind of recent. And I have stayed with the same employer so far (One of world's well reputed & largest IT company)
I hope they look at these facts and dont bother sending an RFE or EVL and send me the straight approval ! (Fingers crossed and touch wood and whatever else !)

How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)

look up O*NET codes yourself:
http://online.onetcenter.org/find/
A recruiter would perhaps be: 13-1071.01 or 13-1071.02.
What is your O*NET code from your LCA?
If its software engineer: 15-1031.00 or 15-1032.00 then this move is potentially risky.
I know that its a greayarea but are there any general guidelines on the O*NET code that will pass as same/similar test of AC21. For example if a person change a job from a job code of 15-10xx to 15-10yy is less risky; while changing from 15-10xx (programmer) to 15-20yy (mathematician) might be more risky etc.
Does USCIS takes this approach of comparing the job codes based on title or job description? It could lead to misinterpreation by the already confused USCIS personnel who will deal with these cases (who may not what an oracle appl engineer does).

Hi,
Are you going to file AC21 now or going to reply Rfe without filing AC21.
Is your lawyer frogamn from CA? Did they infom you about Rfe if not how did you get the Rfe mail.
Thanks
I am planning to file for AC21 along with RFE. My lawyer is frogman but not from CA. I have signed up for online notification at USCIS's website so I knew there was an RFE. RFE itself went to my lawyer and he sent me a copy and arranged a phone call with me to discuss my options.

I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...

Anzerraja, I could not get to that link. I will pledge an amount.
Lately the members of IV have come to know that Aman Kapoor, the co-founder of IV has sold his house and spent around $64000/- towards the administrative costs of IV. This too was brought to our attention from a regular member like you and me, without which this would not have come to our knowledge at all.
So some of the members have taken an initiative to reimburse Aman and other core IV team members with the expenses they have incurred so far towards the administrative costs of IV. Note that the time they have spent and the sufferings cannot be compensated. Let us do the least by atleast compensating the money. Please do not donate directly to IV funds.
There is a funding drive in this other thread towards reimbursing the administrative costs of IV.

I have a big hunch that CIR is some how related for making the dates current. This may be a shrewed strategy to keep the legal immigrants quiet and then proceed to "illegal" game.
It may quiet happen that even with 485 filled we get our green card applications revoked due a backdoor ammendment by Grassley.
This might be planned trap.....

USCIS officially released the information that total I-485 applications which were related to July VB fiasco before August 16, 2007 were 320,000. During the period, the USCIS received 400,000 anxillary applications (EAD and AP), and substantial number of concurrent I-140 petitions. All of these figures added upto 800,000. For the USCIS verification of this information, please Q&A between the USCIS and AILA as part of the Community Relations meeting on September 25, 2007. This has been made available today.

My recommendation would be to build at least 6 months of emergency fund. Open an account with ING Direct or HSBC where they pay decent interest rate on a savigs account. Build the emergency fund first.
Once you have sufficient foundation, then I'd say start building investment foundation. If you employer has 4o1K plan, then start putting pre-tax dollars upto the maximum contribution at employer matches (generally it is 6%). If your employer doesn't have 401K plan, then open a ROTH IRA and start investing in low cost mutual funds or index funds. Vanguard is generally the best place to get low cost, no load funds. Once you max out both 4o1K and ROTH IRA, then start looking into opening a taxable individual investment account.
Hope this helps.
Disclaimer: I've all of the above I'm recommending and have followed the same plan I've given you.
