Please don't travel thru countries that impose this ridiculous transit Visa requirement on individuals, especially from India. Ask them to justify the charges, and you would get no response from them.
So, even if takes to spend $200 - 300 more, AVOID these crook countries that charge Transit Visa. People we must send the message across. In this century, I think its Indians that are traveling the most on these trans-atlantic-asia route, and collectively avoiding these 'snob' countries would send a very good signal.
If you are buying the transit visa, your dignity is at stake. Its like saying buying insurance for a person who is poor. They dont charge for countries that are more developed. so, AVOID AVOID these countries.
I am traveling to India soon, and I am going thru Brussels not because I got a cheap ticket, but because there is no transit visa required there.
I had to apply for UK transit visa last time I went to India (air india). This time I am taking non-stop Chicago to Delhi. I agree about avoiding countries that require transit visa.

Actual daily press and wire service photographers will undoubtly use 4mp. You may not be aware, but all the gorgeous 2 column color shots you see on USA Today etc. are printed from files that are usually 700k - 800k. There are heavily compressed for transmitting. All the wires do that. They don't get full files. The most attractive things to me are the high ISO performance, the ability to customize colorspace amd I'm anxious to test the new autofocus capabilities. The 8 mp is a plus for shooting for a mag or other output. Even at that, I've had 1D shots as a glossy mag color that looked great. One advantage higher megapixels give a sportshooter is for sports like football. Due to the size of the field, the ability to crop more gives you more field coverage. But then the question is will you have enough time to work with files that are twice the size. I'm sure that's why Canon listened and gave us 4 MP as an option.Based on this Steve, would it be safe to say that a 1D. as is, would still be a viable product to have on the shelves (notwithstanding that it would effect sales of the new one and that's why they don't)? I think there is room for a 1D in it's current MP capacity, but with the 1D Mark II improvements.. (Shooting RAW at 4MP that is)

I am stuck in EB3 and want to apply for EB2. How does one find companies willing to do EB2? With desi consulting companies you can ask upfront to the recruiter but with american companies can you do the same?
Can users suggest some companies who are currently doing EB2?
I think now we know why we are so fukked. Both EB2 and EB3! I bow to you sir.

These are the reasons
(1) Employers will have ability to pay issues or just do not want to carry paperwork after you leave - cancelling 140 is beneficial for them - they win the goodwill of USCIS
(2) For USCIS - handling AC21 paperwork means assigning an IO and time and resources - without any fee associated - it is easier to send denial and get money through MTR so that the IO can be working on your case as "billable work" and not "free work"
(3) The intent of long duration standards set by USCIS is nto make immigration difficult and not easy, so when one changes job using AC21 - with no process in place - it is easy to mess up things rather than fixing them.
(4) In reality - in a perfect world - there is no need for AC21 regulations - this is just a provision for cases where there are long delays - so I doubt if this process will be officially handled through forms and fees and procedures - USCIS handles this only through memos and IOs have their own way.
Please participate in the AC21 campaign and lets make it a success. We have to stop seeing denials and start seeing atleast RFE or NOID

Thanks all for the various responses. However, Immique, what kind of RFE can be expected @ 485 stage?
Also, I have moved to Biz Dev from an engineer after my Labor. I now have my 140 and EAD. Is there any risk because of my change in role?
I am just giving a general idea of what the process might be. many people get RFEs for no good reason. In this particular instance for example the work experience may be questioned and also the job duties and how much they are different (including difference in pay) to justify EB3 to EB2 conversion. many aspects that are generally overlooked will attract more scrutiny as the application becomes more complicated as they have to review both the applications in detail.
Moreover, lets say the number of EB2 applications every year is about half of the number of EB3 applications or lets assume the average number of EB2s every year in the last 5-6 years was abut 30,000 per year and unusually if this year the EB2 applications go up to 60,000 and 30,000 of them are actually EB3 to EB2 conversions, that in itself will trigger a red flag to USCIS and will lead to increased scrutiny of all those applications that may have been converted or are filed after the visa numbers became unavailable. My intention is not to discourage anyone moving from EB3 to EB2, but am just advising that you do it right and take the help of the lawyer, because by chance if you get an RFE, you do not want to be answering it yourself. let a professional lawyer handle it. if you are confident that you have a high likelihood of success then go for it, but don't listen to all those that say it is very easy. do your own assessment and decide for yourself. in the end it is your greencard application and not theirs. you always hope for the best outcome but remember you have to be well prepared for the worst possible outcome if it happens. what did life teach you so far?

I am also trying to stay afloat through the very debatable AC21 process. Currently, my case is being handled by Ron Gotcher and I have been very happy with all the help and support so far. Not to mention, they are really reasonable.
Thanks for sharing. I don't think AC21 is very debatable as I have seen ppl used AC21 and currently holding GC without any unwanted issues.
BTW When did you assigned your case to him? is it very recently?

Hello,
My 485 status online just changed today. Here's the new message:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.
The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. To receive e-mail updates, follow the link below to register.
--------
The previous message said that "my case was transfered from CA to NSC on Sept 12th 2007". I had been seeing the previous message for the past 9 months. Anyone knows what the new message means?
Coincidentally, I had called today and spoke with an IO to check on the status of my 485. He said that within 30-60 days it should get assigned to an officer. Would this have any bearing on the new status message? I see an LUD with today's date.
Thanks much for any help,
Kunal
Hi Kunal,
I am in the same boat. In my online status it showed exactly same msg. Then after couple of days it started showing the following msg:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: This case has been sent to our local office for processing.
On May 19, 2008, we transferred this case to our DES MOINES, IA location for additional processing. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case has been sent to our DES MOINES, IA location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.
Please note: All this status changes and Soft LUD's are only for primary applicant and not for spouse's application. we have no connection with DES MOINES, IA, never stayed there , never worked there nor our company is from there. Don't know why it got transfered to local office there.
I am hoping that this all means that my case is assigned to officer.
Guru's any idea what all this means?

Background : EB2 India PERM applied in Oct'08.PERM RFE Audit notice received on Apr '09 and replied immediately by the lawyer. Currently as per iCert labor website Audit cases being processed as of 07/31/2010 are PD July 2008. My H1B six year completes on Jan 2012.
Question :
- When do I realistically expect any decision on my PERM audit?
- Should I apply for fresh PERM Labor in order to meet the 365 days prior labor applied rule for H1 extensions or should I wait for the audit to be decided? My spouse has EB2-I PD OCT '07 with 140 approved ..waiting to file 485.
- In case I decide to wait,what will be my status if the pending PERM currently under audit filed gets denied? What are my options for further H1 extensions in that situation?
- If advised,when should I plan to file my fresh PERM labor? Given that a RIF took place at my employer at end of May 2010, per my understanding there is a six month wait period after RIF to file for PERM labor. Hence, can I file PERM earliest by the end of Nov, 2010.Am I correct? Will I meet Jan 2011 deadline o file fresh PERM?
-What are your overall suggestions in my case?
Thanks for your help!

Employer has to show that he can support all the employees that have an 140 pending. It cannot be attributed to being sadistic alone.
However, having an official AC21 process would be good.
I think so too, the employer wants to scr** us while we are with him, but he doesn�t care a rats a** if we are not with him even if we have worked for him for years. The employer has to show ability to pay since GC is for future employment, so he simply revokes 140 to get rid of this burden. The whole system has flaws and Indian EB immigrants are the worst affected.

I understand that your intention is to get heard. I appreciate your effort at writing letter. However writing to the president will not help us much. Here is why:
In the USA, infact for that matter in most democracies, Laws are made by elected representatives unless it is an executive order to grant an immediate relief.
The composition and powers of the House and the Senate are established in Article One of the Constitution. The major power of the House is to pass federal legislation that affects the entire country, although its bills must also be passed by the Senate and further agreed to by the President before becoming law (unless both the House and Senate re-pass the legislation with a two-thirds majority in each chamber). The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at no more than 435.[1] (United States congressional apportionment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_apportionment))
So, In our case, the president at the most can sympathise with our cause and the hardships we face because of the limbo, But he cannot really help until there is a bill that passes both the house and the senate.
So, Can I suggest that it will be even more worthwhile if you contact your congressman/woman and go meet them. We need them to understand our plight and anguish.
We all need to go meet our lawmakers, educate them.
They already are educated. Do you think they do not know about us?
They fully know about us. But they will not help us because we are not voters and cannot contribute.
A better idea is to have our employers contact them. People working in large companies can do this. I am surprised why the big companies have not taken up this issue for us. Why cannot we have big companies issues statements in our favor?
