Sec 520(e) of the Cornyn Amendment SA 4005 requires that all backlogs be eliminated in six monts. If we are not behind this amendment, perhaps we should try to copy this provision into Brownback's?
I had not read that one...If cornyn amdmt gets through we are in a good shape then...

Inspite of telling my lawyer she did the mistake of sending my EAD and AP before 120 day period. EAD filed 121 days prior and AP filed 148 days prior. I have gotten the receipts of both but AP status says that they have requested more information/evidence. I am wondering what additional information they need. Anyone else in this situation ?

photoshop is amazing.,.... but if your an artist...like the way painter outputs is really intuitive...the only problem is it has a lot of like variable parts that can seem overwhelming. plus i hate how photoshop doesnt have an add water option like painter. that thing kicks so much ***. I think its a good idea to have both.

Is delivery confirmation possible for PO Box addresses?
I used Fedex Ground , just a tad more expensive than USPS Priority ( if you add all delivery confirmation etc etc ).

I e-filed both my EAD and AP. My EAD has been approved while I just recieved an RFE for Photos for AP. I was under the same assumption and did not send in the photos earlier. I did send it now with the RFE.
My 2 cents, When they ask for something give it to them. I mean if they need to take fingerprints every year with EAD, this is much less stupid.

I thought it was kind of inherent in a programming competition. If he would allow external libraries, the contests could become jigsaw puzzle contests where the person who could find the best open source libraries, and piece them together properly could beat someone who made something completely from scratch.
I appreciate where you're coming from.
When I interpreted the rules/intent of the competition I didn't see anything wrong with using Box2D.
I think I made something awesome no matter what happens. I'm happy with the final product and everything I've learned making it. I'd just hate to see it disqualified because someone assumed I'd know not to use external libraries or external audio.
ps: can you post your code? and btw... i like what you did with your swarming code :)
You can grab the earlier version of the Swarming code from my blog here:
http://blog.organa.ca/?p=34
I share the code for most of my projects so feel free to browse around.
In order to share the current version I'd have to do a lot of cleaning up... for example I wrote 5 different ways of handling broad level hit detection. At this point I would have to rewrite it to make it sharable.

Also, Core Team might be travelling a lot to DC and other places this month. So it might help if you could donate your airline and/or hotel miles, that you may have.
I can transfer some of my Marriott / Hilton points that I have to the Core Team members.
Please let me know. Thanks!

IMO conventional is always better unless you are buying a condo. Few people stick with their loan long enough to recoup the cost of the initial mortgage insurance.
Conventional loans are not harder to get with a low down payment. Best to shop around to find a lender who can meet your terms.

Gurus, help needed urgently - I had mailed my I-765 on Saturday via express delivery to the Texas Service Center as I live in NJ. The address I sent it to was
USCIS
Texas Service Center
P.O Box 851041
Mesquite, TX 75185-1041
I checked my USPS tracking status, and it says the following
We attempted to deliver your item at 10:33 AM on June 23, 2008 in MESQUITE, TX 75185 and a notice was left. A second delivery attempt will be made. If unsuccessful, we will hold it for five business days and then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
Has this happened with anyone else? I cross checked the address and its correct. So what should be done in this case?
Yes. I sent my ead renewal app on friday to reach on saturday. On saturday, when I checked the status, it was exactly the status you have written. When I checked again this morning (Monday), it said the mail was accepted at 5.30 am this morning.
I find it hard to believe the mail was delivered to and was signed by someone at USCIS at 5.30 in the morning. So I think it is just a problem with USPS and the way they update status.

Sweet_jungle, I am in a similar situation. My attorney sent a request to TSC 3 months back to fix the PD but no response yet. What did you do to open the obmudsman inquiry? Did you send him an email or did you send him a letter in the email
Ombudsman responded saying that my PD is the older PD. Looks like the earlier response was an error.
NSC AILA liason has also confirmed it.

I was looking for similar info -
Applying for a Canadian tourist visa with AP (no H-1), would this be a problem? Would we get the Canadian visa for only the validity of AP (one yr at most)?
I would be interested in finding out the answers to the original poster's questions as well. It would be very helpful if anyone could share their experience with this.

a while back I had read on the forums (do not know whether it was IV or elsewhere) where a guy got a visit from USCIS because he availed unemployment benefits for sometime.
I have also read about people getting benefits on AOS without any trouble.
Again, it is better to be safe.
Consult your lawyer.

Technically No. But you never know what USCIS will ask for

I changed address on pending I-485 and I-765(EAD) on 8/20 and 8/20 evening I received Card production order email for EAD. When I called the 800 number to make sure they have the correct address they said they don't have access to personal information. Upon asking to connect to second level CSR/IO they said they can't forward my call there. They asked me to take InfoPass for this.

Thanks for sending the information..and one more thing is there any road test?
Just ask yourself some questions & read some IMP information before apply for DL in USA.
1) You said you have International DL.
Do you know the driving…?
How confident are you in driving…?
Apologies for asking this question to you. Because one of my friend’s family had a bad experience with International DL. My friend wife brought International DL and went to DMV in Colorado and the Colorado state people issue the DL without having Road Test. They just took Paper Test. But she doesn’t know how to drive the car. And when she learn driving in Wal-Mart parking lot she met with the accident (Thank god no human effected in that accident. just $2000 for repairs)
2) Are you willing to spend at least 3 hours driving classes from Driving School…?
Better to spend some $$$ on Driving school, Even you are perfect in driving in your country.
3) Are you looking for MVA who do not offer Road Test on International DL…?
Do not consider the people advices like “Go there…MVA people kind of liberal in some Driving mistakes”. You know…DL is not a Green Card or some immigration benefit that you should get it immediately. You should at least 99.99% perfect in driving particularly in Highway in USA. Otherwise you and other people will be in big jeopardy while you drive the car.
Hope this gives you a better picture on DL in USA.

I am working as a full time emp and not as a consultant. So i think i dont have to worry about client letters.
So according to you, i am eligible for another 3 year extension based on approved I-140 irrespective of whether my I-485 has been filed or not?
What i have been reading in some forum is that, if you have an approved I-140 and if your I-485 has not been filed due to retrogression, then you are eligible for 3 year extension. If you have an approved I-140 and if you have already filed your I-485, then you are eligible only for 1 year extension.
If anyone has been in such a situation, if you know please let me know which one is correct.. or please forward me to any article.
smsthss:
1. You are eligible to get 3 H1B year extension based on an approved I-140. However it is up to the Immigration officer to grant you the appropriate term. The appropriate term will depend on the employer paperwork that can suggest that there is atleast 3 years worth of work available for you to do.
2. Two of my friends got their H1B extensions on the basis of approved 140 (after their 6th year). One of them provided the client letter proving that there is a lot of work for another 3 years but got an extension for 1.5 years only. My other friend submitted client work order showing work for 6 months but that guy got an H1B extension for 3 years.
Your best bet is to provide all the paperwork and request extension for 3 years and leave it up to the IO to make the decision. (Certain things are beyond our control, but the things that are must be handled well)

The cheapest way will be to give some $50-75 to the immigrationpro.com attorney. They will answer your questions through email. At least you have some opinion to verify with. I would also suggest to go through the yellow pages and find immigration lawyers who give you first hour free consultation. Do not rely on people like me for the prefessional opinion. Even though we have good things in mind, we are not prefessional lawyers. Get 4-5 professional opinion and then you will automatically know what is the truth.
Best luck !
