Thanks for the insight guys!
What if you donot apply and you donot get EAD by Jan 08, you can still stay legally but wont be able to work without EAD.I will still be able to work if I have my H1B extension, right?
Check with your lawyer. Extension beyond 6 yrs is not available if you are eligible to apply for I485. If you are not able to apply for 485 because of retrogression, you can extend your H1 beyond 6 yrs (of course, it doesnt apply to you).Well, if I checked with the lawyer, I wouldn't be here, would I? :) I did not really understand your point. What if my I-140 is being processed and it takes them a hole lot of time for that and my legal status is expiring -- what am I supposed to do in that situation?

It should not be a problem for EAD/H1B

KXAN reporter Matt Flener requested the following:
I�m looking to do a story on immigrants that get bad immigration lawyers. You know, the ones that say they�ll do it for really cheap, yet screw everything up. Do you know what I�m talking about?
Also, do you know of any other stories through your affiliation with immigration voice that I could work on? Any place where people trying to get into this country legally are not getting a fair chance.
Sincerely,
Matt Flener
Reporter
KXAN Austin News
Do we have any one here in Texas (Austin would be better as he can come by and talk to you) whose lawyer experiences are a nightmare? Let me know and I can put you in touch with Matt Flener.
"A fair chance" - what a key phrase! A fair chance would be awesome, that is all we are asking for, yet we aren't getting it! I'm glad the media has some interest in this!

I guess, what Mr/Ms Desertfox has mentioned makes clear sense. It is better to have the I-94 with the valid parole stamp, when applying for FAFSA. One can go outside/re-enter and obtain the parolee or Paroled in to US stamp. Please consult with your attorney also, since the full details of your case is known to the attorney. Thanks.

Okay this might seem really silly, but ... we got two kids < 2 years and our FP apt is at 8am. That's definitely going to mean cranky kids so I want to prepare as much as possible for the worst.
Question - How much time does the FP process take for two people? Ours is code 3 - fingerprints, photos, if that makes any difference. Is there typically a long wait at the USCIS centers?
I think the time it takes for FP varies from ASC's to ASC's. Mine was done at phoenix and it tooks three hours for us from the time we went in to time we came out. It it is in the morning i guess it would be much faster becuase yours my be one of the first appointments

This is very risky, if not done correctly.
Assume that you would got the I-797 and started working in the US, subsequently, when you go for H1-b stamping in India, high risk of rejection there. This is because B1/B2 has a non-immigrant intention and changing the status to H1-b within the US sends the wrong signal to the Consular officer during stamping.
Correct thing to do would be go to India after getting I-797, get the H1-b stamped, re-enter US on H1 status. Everything would be alright.
I agree with what Boreal said. Also, you cannot get a H1 B stamping in Canada or MExico, if you change from B1/B2 to H1. You have to go back to ur country of origin to get it stamped.

Since i had to spend US $ 70 on passportport photos during july 2007 filing, i wrote my own app to format passport photos. some of my my friends and i used it for filing AP the last couple years. i can email it to any of you if you want it. just PM me.
you would need .NET framework(minimum version 2.0) to run it.
it supports indian passport photos too (3.5 cm by 4.5 cm) :)
I have used this site to generate several times.

Just write to your state DOL and they will take care after that. You might have to provide some proof for them to start investigation. Make sure you have a plan B with regards to work and status if things go south.

Typical travel agent replies are: "if you have valid visa stamped, then no need for transit visa".

USCIS local offices no longer issues interim EADs. Go to immigration.com and and bring up July/August 2006 newsletter.
You can schedule infopass & meet a local officer after 90 days. But he will only forward you request to the main center and ask them to either process your case quickly or issue an interim EAD.
But since the main center will be badly backlogged from now on, I wonder how they can even process interim EADs? If they can do it, they may as well do regular EADs?
I recall reading somewhere that with the new scheme, EADs were guranteed to be issued within 90 days and so no interim EADs were produced. But this 90 day limit will change in the next few weeks.

logic,
I checked with my immigration attorney about this situation anticipating job change few days ago. According to him one can enter as long as s/he can show new H1B approval notice provided the old H1B visa is still valid (not expired).
As always, we can express our own interpretation, and its always a good idea to contact an immigration attorney to get specific answers.

we've asked for changes which require laws/amendments to be enacted.This has so far, not got us anywhere. What about asking for more liberal interpretations of the present laws? This can be done with something as simple as a memo sent by USCIS director. What can we ask for-
1) Portability for all cases where I - 140 is approved for 180 days, and the co. is unable to file for 485 because of retrogression.
2) ability to maintain priority dates incase labor is filed for more than 365 days and the employee is forced to change jobs - even though the i 140 is not approved because of delays at the BPCs
3) I guess asking for an EAD incase I-140 is approved for 180 days will be too much?

I went for H-1 renewal after 10-year completion. All set for 13 years on H1B. I also renewed my EAD but do not plan on using it. I did not renew my AP after the 1st year. My employer pays for H1 renewals but not EAD and AP renewals. So it was a no-brainer for me. Visa stamping is an hassle, but it is worth the trouble when considering the money saved in not applying for AP for 3 of us in my family for 3 years.

Bounce flash is a good idea, but you need 1) a powerful flash, and 2) to keep a good distance from the subject. If you get too close, as I painfully learned from a few rolls of slide film shot over recent trips to visit family, the flash goes up to the ceiling, and comes straight down again, leaving eyes in soft but ugly shadow (fortunately, the rest of the photo was well exposed, so I think it can be rescued in PS).
Flash photography is a lot of complexity for a beginner (I feel like a total newbie at flash, and I think I'm not doing too badly on basic exposure of ambient light with a few years' practice), and even modern ?-TTL flash can screw up if used without the photographer's thought or intervention, though probably not as much as the old-style auto flash that I'm using. Of course, there's an almost foolproof way to do flash - using guide numbers - but who wants to spend ten minutes digging for the calculator to figure out flash exposure for each shot, and then being stuck with one aperture dictated by flash power and subject distance?

I'm working for a big company in US since 2001. My Lc is filed in 2001 and it is still pending in BEC (phily).
Recently my company offered me LC substitution (PD of 2002). I have taken it and they filed 140. I need to show the previous experience of a skill set in 1999. I have a letter from that company for that. The problem is that company is out of business.
Questions
1)Will USCIS call that employer (employer is in a foreign country) for that experience?If so, the company is closed. What will happen? Will they reject my 140?
2)My original LC is approved (got approved yesterday)? My lawyer is telling that they will file 140 on this one also? How on earth can I habe 2 140's? When my time comes for 485, which 140 should I choose? I'm confused
