FIRST OFF: Using slang or whatever will NOT hinder you from getting a job in the design field. I love how people who most likely havent worked more than a week at a REAL design studio think they now how the whole system works.
I will tell you all right now, IF your work is good and IF you can show your employer (most likely a smaller company if it'll be your first job) that you can get the job done, he's not going to care if you use the words "dawg" or "aight".
I'll provide two THREE examples of this.
1. I was the Art Director for a small, South Florida based web company called Citracom. We needed a flash developer who was GOOD and wasn't expensive. So we interviewed some people. One fellow by the name of Trevor (whom was & still is pretty darn good at flash) had the whole slang talk thing. But he got the job. He did it well.
2. I worked as a Graphic Designer in the marketing department of a fitness company. We worked on some pretty large clients like Kathy Smith and Prevention magazine. There was a guy who was a little younger than me who did all of our tech support as well as graphics. The kid was great. Yet he listended to rap, said "yo" and to top it off his favorite greeting was "What Up?".
3. And the final example is ME. I got my first web design job when I was in 11th grade. I interned for a company for $8.50 an hour doing HTML and layouts in Photoshop as well as making buttons. I used "slang" and I was young (16 1/2 I believe) and from there I've gone on to work at some pretty decent jobs. In fact this month makes it FIVE years since I started designing for a professional company.
If you guys ever need any tips on picking up a design job, let me know. I'll be glad to help you out.

Guys as a RULE. Pls contact the Core members before contacting ANYONE no matter HOW pro-immigrant we think he may be. Let that be a policy of sorts. Just talk to ANY one core member and discuss it before u take any action. Media exposure is a double edged sword so let us please be careful as to who we contact.

what is the deadline for the final letter and when can we start the campaign.
Also I would really appreciate if someone can post the instruction on how to send the fax.. step by step so that the non IT layman also can do that.
Please keep bumping this post and put a poll on this thread or start a thread just to get the count on how many did it.
This is about illegals. Do not fall for that trap.
These organizations are looking for bodies to send faxes. Illegals do not know computer and English. But programmers who sit in a cubicle all day and have plenty of time to go on websites and post, are a perfect fit to further the agenda of this organization.
Just ask yourself:
Has this organization leader spoken to you or IV asking for support and promised that they will work for legals?
So why are you promoting them?
They will not do anything for you if CIR comes.

H1B petition has dual intent ie immigrant intent on an non-immigrant visa and hence previous filing of I-140 with the previous employer shouldn't affect your new application for H1B.

Hi Guys,
I need your help on this. My cousin is running this small IT company in india and he mentioned that when US client sends their money to India via Pay Pal or some secure money transfer , they are charging them 4 % of transfer amount.
He ask me that what could be the best way to avoid this fees , some of the option that we thought about,
1) If they (cousin's company) open an bank account in USA and utilize this to transfer the money to indian bank account - Would they still need to pay US tax as money is being deposited into the US account?
2) If I utlize my bank account - I think in this scenarion I have to pay the US tax for whatever money the client is depositing into my account in order to make this legal transfer
3)If US client utilize remit2india, ICICI to transfer money which I highly doubt
I appriciate your responce on this.
lol you are complaining about 4% tax? :)
1. not sure about this...normally you need a SSN or TaxID to open a back account here...however some banks dont require it...which is what illegal immigrants exploit.
so if its done without a SSN or TAXID then you may get away without paying tax.
However some companies wont pay you if you dont have a TaXID or SSN
2. worst of the 3 ideas...cause u will be paying individual tax rate...of around 30% or more

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?

I have bunch of colleages who have filed 485 two years ago and they are all saying you can take different responsibilities. I thought they would have done better research on this one as they are at that stage. May be they are wrong.
I beleive their 485 is status is at "pending approval". Does anyone know what could be the possible final status for 485 during retrogression? This may be the decider for both AC21 and existing employer role change. Can anyone confirm this one?
If your 485 is filed and you have spent 180 days after that, then the AC21 portability allows you to change employers and change job locations but not the job description.
Even after 180 days on 485 stage, you can use EAD to change employers as many times as you want and get jobs in different cities/states but the job description should be the same -- which means that you cannot except promotions because promotions do change job descriptions.
I am pretty sure about this part and I have verified this part of AC21 portability with a lawyer before.(make that a very reputed and smart lawyer)
You may want to check this part before accepting that promotion.
For the derivative beneficiary, like the spouse who gets EAD because of primary applicant of 485, there are no restrictions though.

I'm afraid of same things too...Hope something will work out.
Based on Assement in this article, it almost seems that the chances of STRIVE are dead even before it goes to House Immigration Commettee. I am not trying to be negative or something but the article has such a tone. I can understand that Pelosi did not schedule any timing but what concerns me most is the fact that
"California Democrat Zoe Lofgren, who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law, will hold hearings before marking up any bill"
Now we all know how one sided these hearings are and how long they take. In nutshell these hearings give chance to any tom, dick and harry to express his opinion and create melodrama. We already worry about melodrama of people such as Sen Sessions in the Senate. Add this drama, and it can easily eat the short window we have to get the relief. I really hope I am wrong here but I have a bad feeling about this :(:mad:

Many people that have contributed earlier feel that by prioritizing the 485 filing over increase of EB visas, IV has gone away from atleast some of stakeholders .The stakeholders were promised initially that increase of EB visas would be a top priority or atleast on a even keel with any other objectives, but now we are in phased approach.I have talked to lot of people and the feeling is same.
Suppose IV decides not to focus on I-485 filing but some other issue. By this analogy, all members with interest in I-485 will leave.

In central NJ, I called over 9 Doctors and only two of them had an appointment before July 1st -2nd week.
One is Dr. Neil M.S. Estrella in Clark, NJ. Appointment was available for Monday June 18th. But the fees for the exam plus vaccines is $430. The second one is Dr. Marcel Stern in Piscataway, NJ 08854. Appoitnment was available for Thursday June 21st. The fees was more reasonable at $350.
If you're in Central NJ, Hurry, Hurry Hurry.
P.S - If some of you get other appoitnments in NJ, post here so that others will know and not waste time calling other doctors.
To look for doctors in your area, go here :
https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV
You can just walkin to Dr Stern office. Even if you have an appointment with them, you may have to wait 0.5-1.5 hours depending on the time you go. If you go on weekend or weekdays after 5 you may have to wait longer but afternoon should be faster. And there fee may be more than $350 if you need to get shots and xray. Hope this help.
If you call them recp. will tell that appt is required but actually it is just walk-in and you may not get any preference ver people who walked-in.

I said I will get stamping done before I return from India for the first time. That way the action of getting I-94 at POE upto Feb28,2007 by official does not arise.
I just want to tell the community that such issues due to "Last Action" can arise and we need to be aware of them. ;)
O.K I think that is the best option. I was responding to a out of status
situation within U.S because of expired I-94.

Are the processing times according to the notice date or the received date ? Mine are 4 months apart.
It is clearly the Notice Date. USCIS website mentions on the processing times page:
"If your receipt notice date is earlier then the processing date shown, we suggest you call our USCIS Customer Service Office...."
This makes sense (from their procedural point of view, though not good for clients). ND is very close to date when a case is opened the first time (although stamped RD may be several months earlier). That's the date a service center consider as their receive date, and also shows online as "...your case was received on...". Data for published dates is provided by processing centers. Therefore, they use only dates when they received/opened the case. They don't care if files were in boxes or shuffled for months between centers.
If your ND is within published processing dates, most likely your case has been opened, reviewed, and perhaps pre-adjudicated. That's all. It does not mean anything more until your PD becomes current. At that point, if they have pre-adjudicated cases, as per procedure described in link mentioned above, they clear them in order of PD.

I was just quoting that there may be legitimate reasons but this is not a good reason...
Fully aware this is not the right time to correct eachother, but their is something in me that forces me to dis-approve your comment on " ... legitimate cause for sucide". I hope you will take it in friendly spirit.
We all are fighting our battles on all levels in all the different ways ...be it financial, social, family or professional. And in some of these we will win and inothers we shall lose, if not have. And it might be that mental illness drove this young man into such desperate direction, but little did he realize the consequences of his near-sightedness. No matter how depressing and gloomy it may appear, we should not forget that tommorow can be better. Life is a cherished previliage given to us and we should put to it's best intended use as per God's will.
So let's be brave and encourage eachother so that no-one else show up on news in manner the departed souls. My deep sympathys to those affected by this tradegy and apologizes for any un-wonted offence.

Application vs. Use of EAD or Advance Parole:
Applying for and obtaining approval of EAD or Advance Parole does not affect the 485 applicant's "nonimmigrant status" including H and L. However, once the alien starts work using an EAD or travels on Advance Parole, the alien is considered no longer in a nonimmigrant status including H and L.
I didn't know if we use AP we loose H1, any comments Seniors?
To my knowledge once you use AP or EAD we loose our H1B.
