This rose bloom stood out so well against the foliage background, that I thought I'd try a little different composition in which the main subject is a small part of the frame. Does this composition work or does it need to be cropped?

My friend is with the current employer for the past 3 years and now she has her H1 renewed .The employer had some issues with USCIS and currently she is on bench and is planning to go to india to get married.She has an appointment in Tijuane but she is worried if the employer history would affect her chances of stamping.So she is planning to have her H1transferred but she has her marriage in feb.So what are her options of getting her stamping done?
This is not a good idea.
Can she go to India with new employer documents having applied for transfer(premium processing)and have her stamping done there?
It is better for her to wait until she gets her documents approved and then go.
Is the pay stub with the current employer compulsory?
It is better to have some paystubs from the past six months at least and also carry some w2 forms.
How much time does it take if she goes for premium processing and what documents would she need from the new employer(incase the transfer is pending by the time she goes to India)?
In premiumn processing it takes 15 days to get the approval normally. And if it is premium processing, shouldn't hurt to wait some more days since it is better also.
After all these are my two cents against what you are trying. It is always better to consult your lawyer/attorney with the employer your friend is intending to transfer to.

Hello All,
My priority date becomes current as of 1'st Oct 2009... I had created an Service Request 2 weeks back to check with NSC if it has been preadjudicated or not...
Here is what i received as an email response to the Service Request today-
The status of this service request is:
The processing of your case has been delayed. A check of our records establishes that your case is not yet ready for decision, as the required investigation into your background remains open.
Until the background investigation is completed, we cannot move forward on your case. These background checks are required to be completed on all applicants who apply for the immigration benefit you are seeking. We will make every effort to make a decision on this case as soon as the background checks are complete. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 months of this letter, please contact us by calling our customer service number provided below.
Questions:
1. What am i supposed to do now?
2. I remember seeing a Memo back in Feb 2008 which stated that 485 can be approved after waiting for 6 months for background check and not more than that.
Please let me know if anyone else has received a similar reply in Sep 2009... Any thoughts are highly appreciated...
Thanks for all your help... These forums and community has been a great help all along!

My PD is Oct 2004 .Received I-140 RFE Ability to pay.RFE date Jan 2nd 2009.They have asked for Tax returns for 2006 and 2007 (2004 and 2005 were submitted during filing).They have mentioned that we also have the option to submit W2 ,Audited statements or Annual reports.The company is a small company with 20-30 employees and is doing pretty well .For 2004 ,2005 and 2006 their net incomes is about 3-4 times my proffered wage.But there is an issue for the 2007 return.Their year ends in June and hence 2007 return was due on September 2007 for which they have filed an extension.Hence returns are not due till March 2009.RFE has to be responded to by Feb 2nd.They have paid an estimated tax of about 34000-35000 .My proffered wages are 52000.Hence if one calculates the estimated income it is in line with the previous years and is about 3 times my wages.But there is no return only extension notice and proof of taxes paid .I do not work for them right now and have no W2.They do not have any audited statement or annual report.I am trying to get them to give me a statement from their CPA stating estimated revenues,net income and tax for 2007 but I am being given the run around.If I were to submit only with the 2006 return and 2007 extension filed with proof of tax paid is it OK or do i most definitely need that letter from their CPA.I doubt I can get anything more than the CPA letter and that too is doubtful.Business owner perceives CPA letter not needed attorney states needed.I am in a limbo.Please help .Do I also need statement showing income from July 2008 through December 2008 to show current ability to pay as advised when they have asked only for 2006 and 2007 returns.PLEEEASE HELLP AND GIVE YOR ADVISE.

I am not sure i understood your question. Is it H1B interview date or H1B stamping. In case of H1B stamping, the dates are normally booked but keep checking vhs..... website and you may find a slot. I used to check everyday and after a month i saw few slots available on december. However, the consulate answers to emails promptly and i was once told that for H1B stamping can be done if notified 14 days in advance.

I am currently working as a Functional Solution Architect in an IT firm.
Current Status: H1B (6th year)
GC status as follows:
Priority Date: April 2007
EAD received: October 2007
I-140 is approved.
Under the AC21 portability I believe I can change my employer without affecting my GC process. However I want to change my field of work from IT to Finance. My question is:
1. Is that permissible and can I use my EAD to work for a new employer in a different field.
2. If the above is not permissible and If I change my job in the same field, can my previous employer cancel my GC process, even though my I-140 is approved. If they can, how can I mitigate that possibility.
Thanks in advance for your response.

I'd do the reverse. I am currently working on EAD so I dont want any issues with being without an EAD for even a day. I'd apply exactly at the 120 day mark. Even if I lose some valdity, its ok.
As far as AP is concerned, I dont mind if it comes a bit later or even after the previous one has expired.
3-4 days. These days they are fast on approvals. Best thing is to apply AP within 120 days range and apply EAD when 100 days away from expiry. Atleast you will get 2 years EAD and dont need to pay again.

The thing is the company where I work is ready to sponsor me. They only don't know which occupation to write for me in order to be eligible for H1B.
I'm working over there on administrative position and doing various accounting things.
Thanks
kerz,
Which specialization did you do in masters (assuming you have done masters on F1)

USCIS - USCIS Issues Two Precedent Appeals Decisions (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f8925403f0bcb210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD)
USCIS Issues Two Precedent Appeals Decisions
WASHINGTON�U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that it has issued two decisions from the USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) as binding precedent for the agency. These decisions will provide guidance to USCIS adjudicators and help deliver predictability to the public. AAO precedent decisions result from a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which publishes the cases.
"The issuance of AAO precedent decisions honors USCIS�s commitment to the clear and consistent application of the immigration laws," said USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas. "We are grateful for the Justice Department�s partnership in our efforts to promote predictability in immigration-benefits cases." USCIS is committed to issuing further precedent decisions going forward, given their value to the agency and the public.
An AAO precedent decision is an immigration-appeals case that DHS, with the Attorney General�s concurrence, designates as establishing a rule for deciding future cases. Once published by DOJ, AAO precedent decisions bind all DHS personnel in the administration of the immigration laws. DOJ publishes the decisions in the bound volumes of the "Administrative Decisions Under Immigration and Nationality Laws of the United States" (I&N Dec.), which also contain the precedent decisions of the DOJ�s Board of Immigration Appeals.
The first decision affirms USCIS�s denial of an application to adjust status to permanent residence and holds that an employment-based petition must be "valid" initially if it is to "remain valid with respect to a new job." The second decision reverses USCIS�s denial of an application to preserve residence for naturalization purposes and clarifies the definition of employment by an "American firm or corporation."

You'll get it till expiry dt of your h1, they'll issue a new one with 'CY' under endirsements section meaning you are eligible to ride motorcycle.
My 2 cents - its better to wait until your h1 is renewed.

As a California immigration lawyer who files many asylum cases, I am used to thinking of a the United States as a place of refuge and to documenting the horrible country conditions of other countries. I have successfully represented applicants for asylum who feared staying in their countries because while serving in their countries' armies, they were harmed on account of their sexual orientation.
It is therefore rather surprising to come across a story of a U.S.soldier who is fleeing to Canada (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/11/20/refugee-board-soldier-lesbian.html) because she fears harm in the U.S. Army on account of her sexual orientation. According to CBC news, U.S. Army Pte. Bethany Smith fled Canada in September 2007 from a U.S. Army base in Fort Campbell, Ky. She applied for refugee status in October 2007, saying that she was harassed and threatened by fellow soldiers over her sexual orientation and feared that her life would be in danger if she were deported and returned to the army. The Canadian authorities initially rejected in her claim in February 2009. However, on appeal, the Federal Court of Canada held that the refugee board must reconsider the case again because the Board made several mistakes in initially reviewing her claim.
The Federal Court's decision (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Smith%20and%20the%20Minister%20of%20Citizenship%20 and%20Immigration.pdf)noted that the refugee board failed to fully consider the evidence pertaining to the situation of gays and lesbians in the U.S. Army to determine whether Pte. Smith could have availed herself of protection in the United States. The Federal Court also noted that the Board failed to determine whether Pte. Smith would be persecuted on account of her social group - as a lesbian in the U.S. Army if forced to return. There were other errors mentioned in the decision.
It is sad that the U.S. policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," is the basis of an asylum claim in Canada. Pt. Smith was only 19 years old when she fled to Canada. From everything I read, it appears that she wanted to serve in the U.S. Army and no real desire to leave the United States. At a time when we apparently need people to serve in the Armed Forces and in fact give non-citizens a way to immigrate to the United States faster for their service, it seems ridiculous that an American citizen should have to leave. It it is time to eliminate the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
