My first camera was a refurb d80 and there was no way to tell the diff between new or used. I bought a new d300 and love the camera but out of the box it seemed to be in the same great condition as the refurb d80.

Hi,
My Company applied PERM in Sept'07 at Chicago. Till now company hasn't heard back yet and now employer is planning to file one more PERM appl. through different Lawyer. Can we file one more application without hearing/know the first case status?
Appreciate the reply.
Thx...
You cannot file a new PERM under the same position under the same company while the other one is still pending.
The DOL states an "average" processing time of 90 days, which may be extended based on whether or not an audit or multiple audits are issued. We are however noticing the average processing time is about 4 months or so.

Hi guys,
My LCA got denied today (reason unknown) and my H1-B has expired on Nov. 1 as well. :(
I also have a pending I-485 petition with approved I-140. I also have a valid EAD. So I assume, I am currently shifted to AOS pending status working on EAD.
My question is whether this denial negatively affects my pending I-485 application? I assume not but just wanted to confirm anyways :confused:
Thanks for you responses.

Are you a first time stamper OR have had a stamp before. If you have had a stamp before - read further...
I believe you can change your appointment 2 times ( or probably three times only ). You should be able to change your appointment to Delhi if dates becomes available and you are within the limit of number of changes of appointments allowed.

Hi my friends,
First of all, have a Nice New Year !!!!
I have a Nikon D70, a 18-70mm and 180mm 2.8 Ai MF.
I�m thinking to buy this old len Nikkor AF 70-210mm, but i would like some tips and help about it.
I heard that the version D of it, 4-5.6D, is fastter than no-D version. Is it really true ?
And what about the version f/4. Is it better than 4-5.6 and D ? But i heard about it is less fast in focus than 4-5.6D too.
Who has this lens to tell me something ?
Which one is the best ?
There is a lot 4-5.6 non-D to sell here in Brasil, but D its a little more dificult and expensive.
This D, worth the extra money or the velocity of the focus from non-D its not so extraordinary.
Tks a lot.
Antonio

Is there any way that we can get the USCIS to update their Aug 2007 bulletin and write on top of it and the July bulletin was valid till Aug 17th.
That way any officer who would check the Aug 2007 bulletin would first see the update and go by the July bulletin instead of rejecting I-485's in a bunch which cause additional hardships to the applicant in getting it reopened via MTR and again going through the long process.

Hi,
Can anyone share the experience of H1 Visa stamping in Hyderabad. As per their web site they need quite a lot of documentation. Not sure if such doecumentation is required for visa revalidation (same category - H1) as well.
Thanks
Bob

Hotel News Now, a leading Global Hospitality publication, ran a two-part series about staffing challenges facing the U.S. hotel industry. I was honored to be interviewed by the publication and share my insights on the problems facing hospitality employer in these challenging times.
With the level of unemployment about 8.5 percent, why do hotels still need foreign workers? There are various reasons, from location to the attitudes of American workers. And changes in schedules and lifestyle have affected one of the former staples of summer work�students.
The situation is bad for staffing professionals in the industry, said Jacob Sapochnick, a San Diego, California-based lawyer whose practice is devoted to immigration law. �Even though they can hire local people, they can never rely on them for the full term,� he said. �If you have a large hotel, need 50 housekeepers and hire locally, the turnover is very high. They find a better job or one that pays more. When you have H-2B workers, they know they have them for 10 months. Their visa depends on them working at that hotel.�
The more turnover, the less likely the hotel will function properly, Sapochnick said.

Hi,
Have a question on EAD/H1b. I am joining a new company using AC21 and EAD. Lets say after few months if INS denies my GC application then will I be able to transfer my h1b. Basically I got the info that I can re-capture my unused period of H1b out of 6 years. Is that true ?
Thanks.

You can take time off -- like 4 weeks without any issue (I have done this), as long as the new company has filed to transfer your H1B petition.
I guess you should avoid going out of status -- where the old company has revoked your H1B when the new company hasn't even filed the H1B transfer petition. Other than this, taking time off between jobs should not be any problem at all, provided you stay within the country and, no travel outside the US. But if you do, you should consult your lawyer about its implications. Good luck with your new endeavors.

My wife'e H1B expires on Feb 2007 and she still has not applied for H1B renewal as she was on maternity leave. She will do so in first week of November. It looks like H1B extension process takes more than 3 months. Virginia is one of the states which just gives ur Driver license till ur H1B validity. So her license is valid till feb 2007. Would like to know if she can get her license renewed in Feb 2007 with a H1b receipt number or should she do Premium processing of her H1B. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I doubt they will extend it. They will just look at I 797 and see if the name and expiry date. How ever call Identity Services (dont remember the division's name exactly) @ 804 367 0064 and explain your situation. They are the folks that generally issue a letter for H4 visa holders who do not have a I 797. They will take atleast 1 month to send the letter once they decide to do it. Start acting now! Good luck.

Hi:
Me and my husband left US on AP, which is valid until nxt year. We both were working on valid H1's until we left. We dont want to go for stamping and will use AP on our arrival at the POE. We havent applied for EAD when we left. Is it Ok for us to apply for EAD once we are back in US or is it ok to apply for H1's again once we r back. In both cases whether we go for h1 or EAD, can we start wroking rt a way or do we need approval first.
Thanks.
If you are planning to continue working for the same H1 employer when you return on AP, then you can start working immediately. If you intend to change employers, then either your new employer needs to file a H1 Change of Employer petition and you can start working once you get it approved OR you can apply EAD and start working when its approved.
