Where did you read extra cash is being pumped into other gov projects.
I read on USCIS website they were hiring 1500 new employees.
to be fair to USCIS they did try to get out of the fiasco on july 1 by moving the dates back again Eventually they were forced to accept it again..
They clearly knew this was cash cow so why did they want to cancel it in the first place..
Its a lot of money and its definitely a lot of work as well..There are also no signs of hiring new stafff..most of extra cash they getting is being pumped into other gov projects so the staff is still being overworked and I am sure will be complaning

The text provided on the link below has the following section:
================
Question 10. Should service centers or district offices deny portability cases on the sole basis that the alien has left his or her employment with the I-140 petitioner prior to the I-485 application pending for 180 days?
Answer: No. The basis for adjustment is not actual (current) employment but prospective employment. Since there is no requirement that the alien have ever been employed by the petitioner while the I-140 and/or I-485 was pending, the fact that an alien left the I-140 petitioner before the I-485 has been pending 180 days will not necessarily render the alien ineligible to port. However, in all cases an offer of employment must have been bona fide. This means that, as of the time the I-140 was filed and at the time of filing the I-485 if not filed concurrently, the I-140 petitioner must have had the intent to employ the beneficiary, and the alien must have intended to undertake the employment, upon adjustment. Adjudicators should not presume absence of such intent and may take the I-140 and supporting documents themselves as prima facie evidence of such intent, but in appropriate cases additional evidence or investigation may be appropriate.
==========================================
Does this mean if I-140 is approved and I-485 petition has been pending less than 180 days, one can still change jobs using AC21?
Can someone please clarify? Thanks!
Look at this document. This should answer lot of questions regarding AC21

your wife is exempt from EAD/AP fees. If you apply online for her EAD or AP, the system will automatically figure that out and will not charge anything additional

Travel on AP and work on H1B? Have applied for 485, AP and EAD. By the way, what is the advantage of doing so?
Assuming you have valid I797 (h1), the advantage of using an AP is to reenter the country without worrying about getting a visa stamping in the passport. But if you already have a valid stamping then it does not matter whether you use ur h1 or AP to reenter the country.
But an EAD/AP is always good to have along with your H1 as that gives you another option of switching jobs after 180 days of filing 485, when the new employer is not willing to file a transfer of H1.
Cheers.

To the best of my knowledge you can not file for AOS while you are on TN . To process your green card you have to switch to your H1B from TN and start your green card as any other national i.e file for your Labor certification, I-140 and then i-485 .This process is same like any other national. All the best.
You can file for AOS from any status. The only problem will be that you cannot renew your non-immigrant visa unless it is a dual intent visa like H1B, L or O.
Since you are a Canadian citizen, I am assuming that you don't actually have to get a H1 visa stamped on your passport (I may be wrong - check with your attorney). When you enter the US, you should be able to show all your documents for H1B approval (LCA application, approved petition, etc - I don't remember the entire list) and get an I-94 with H1B status and expiry date.
As far as AOS petition is concerned, I think it is considered adandoned unless you are on a valid H1 or L status. Since you are on TN status and you will be leaving the country on TN status, your application might be considered adandoned. You will have to talk to an attorney and find out if you can travel out of the country.

I see what you mean, though. It will give me some things to play with as I continue to explore Photoshop.

Well said EB3 retro!! I like you approach. I have lost interest of GC. And actually, I don't care at all what happens to GC as I don't want to make my life decisions based on USCIS guidelines. I mean, I came here 11 years ago and I think US has lost the efficiencies it was known for. Very sad, but true.

FIFO must be based on PD and not on I-485 application receive date, I hope you meant the same.
there was a thread yesterday discussing this news. It is indeed welcome news. Atleast now USCIS should concentrate on FIFO approvals. There are just too many 2003/4/5 EB-2I applicants waiting in line when 2006 applicants got approved in a frenzy last couple of months...what a cruel joke! and for EB-3I, this news may reveal the total number of cases pending. Nobody seemed to know the accurate count...

Well...so now they have added addln staff to handle the annual load (1 - 1.3 mil) EAD/AP requests....
Not yet. It is still planning to hire those 1500. So soon USCIS will come up with argument regarding "Administrative burden" to hire those 1500 and set up training centers and it will take almost 2 years. Again we will hear the reason for further slow down due to this un anticipated work load. After 2 years USCIS will realize the "heavy financial burden" which will also be un anticipated and hence USCIS will come up with fee increase... Cycle will go on and on...

You can apply from your Wife's company for that You will be dependent and her's will be primary.
When submitting you need to enter Alien numbers obtained from the first filing.
The critical part of applying like this is both the I 485 receipts SHOULD get same A# associated.
Once one 485 is approved USCIS will cancel the other or you can write th service center where pending I 485 is to cancel with all related details.,
HAVING MORE OPTIONS IS ALWAYS BETTER!!

Last time we renewed we lost more than a month since they did it from approval date. Also they gave it so fast and only for 1year - we missed the 2yr valid EAD by days. In comparison they issued the AP quite late taking their sweet time

Hey this is good news, atleast the crowd will get reduced in chennai consulate :)
Yes, that will help the chennai consulate lines. And it is great for hyderabadis since we don't have to go to chennai, sometimes multiples times for a single stamping.

A# is either someting that you get by the following ways:
1. If you were a student and were on OPT the EAD card had an A#
2. Sometimes when your I-140 is approved it comes with A# (NOT ALWAYS NO ONE KNOWS WHY/WHY NOT)
3. When your I-485 is accepted most likely you will get a new A#
So if you have 1 or 2 use it else leave it blank.
Thank you for the clarifications. One more doubt:
G-325A has got got file no. which starts with A and Alien Registration no in the bottom. Should we have to fill A# against file no. in top with our A# got with I-140 approval?

Hi, Guys:
My old H-1b will expire on June 30 2007. My employer has applied the new H-1b extension, but it is still pending. I am planning to go back to my country this summer and try to apply for H-1 visa in US embassy in early June. My question is whether I can apply for H-1 visa using the old one (expire on June 30) while the new one is pending. How long will be my H-1 visa valid (usually 3-month in my country)? Will I get 3-month or till the expirating date(June 30)? Can I come back to US? Many thanks.
Since your current extn application is still pending, your new visa stamp would bear the june30 date, as far as I know. Talk to an attorney.

My OPT was ended on Dec 6th, 2008, I am a Ph.D graduate.
I got H1B approved (Company A - Technology Company - not software)from Oct 1st 2008 to august 1st 2011
I lost my job in September, 2008 and I moved to company B (Software), USCIS received my application at the end of October, 2008. It is still under process.
Recently in June, I moved to another job (Company C - non profit and very good institute). Now USCIS is aksing (I have time to provide this until July 20th) for paystubs in October to check my valid stay in US, which I do not have, I only had OPT Card and I20.
What is my Option now? Do they approve or ask me to go back to India and get stamped right away? or If they deny it now, what should I do? Please help me out. I paid $230 to sheila murthy before I got this job, she said they would either they approve, or they would ask me to get stamped by going India. Please help me out,
Thank You

What was your shutter speed? I downloaded the image, but all I saw in the exif was some Mac Photoshop CS info..
I'm guessing stopping down that lens (like f/8-11) will probably yield you the best results on that 75-300. I've heard that it's soft on the long end too. Obviously with the available light, your shutter speed is going to have to figured from metering. You said it was sunrise, so I'm guessing your shutter speed was determining how much you could stop down, without needing a tripod and/or having the geese blur cause of motion.
If the 300D's AF is similar to the 10D, it's not the quickest. Don't touch a 1D or you will long to upgrade. :-)
