Hi,
I renewed online on July 29th. In the online confirmation receipt, it was mentioned that i would get a biometrics appointment notice. So i didn't send photos along with supporting documents. It is been more than 30 days, i didnt get any biometrics appointment. So i called USCIS and the customer service person filed a service request for biometrics appointment. Yesterday i got an email response from USCIS as below:
"The status of this service request is:
A biometrics appointment notice is not required for your I-765 application. Your case is being processed within our normal processing times."
Now i'm confused about what they are going to do for photos? Will they send a RFE for photo? Should i wait for RFE or Proactively send photos? If anyone send the photos alone?
Thanks.

Thanks for your amazing help.
I have two more question that I am not sure about:
1-I understand from your letter that EB2-NIW has less requirements than EB1-OR, and hence it is more safe to apply for EB2-NIW. Is that true?
2-In case I want to apply for EB1-OR, does my company has to sign I-140. I am just worried that they does not want to sponsor me till after 3 years? Does I-140 hurt the company by any means?
Thank you,
John
Well, your ideal bet is the standard EB2. It will require a labor certificate. The issue is that the cost of obtaining the labor certificate (including lawyer's fee and job advertisement costs; usually total around $5k-$6k) must be borne by the employer; it is the law. You can bear the rest of the cost (I-140+I-485+lawyer's fee for those two stages). If your employer is willing to at least pay for that, then go for it; you will get your GC within a year or two (assuming no major changes in the rules, situations, etc.).
If your employer is not willing to spend any money, then you have two options: EB1 or EB2-NIW; they do not need labor certificate.
The EB2-NIW category does not need employer's sponsorship. However, a support letter from the employer strengthens the case quite a lot. To prove yourself eligible for EB2-NIW, you need to argue that if a labor test is done and an eligible citizen or permanent resident shows up (and hence you cannot be hired), then it will be a *national* loss to the US. Basically this means you have to prove that your field *and* your individual work in the field are very important to the US nationally (i.e., not just to the particular part of the US where you live/work). Other than publications (number as well as quality), citations, and perhaps most importantly, a set of (10-15) recommendation letters from the well known leaders of your field are usually used to establish this.
The EB1-OR (outstanding researcher) category requires that you be in a "researcher" position and your company employs at least 5 other researchers (I am assuming that you are not a tenure-track faculty member in a US institute of higher education). If this is true, then your employer simply needs to "sponsor" you by providing a support letter. No labor certification is needed; so employer need not bear any cost; you are allowed to pay for the whole process. You need to establish that you are an "outstanding researcher" with international reputation.
From what you have told us, it seems that EB2-NIW might be possible for you, but you very likely do not satisfy EB1-OR's requirements. In any case, there is a good amount of randomness in the process and hence there is always a possibility of getting approved. So if your employer does not want to spend any money and you can spare the money, then it may be worth a shot applying for an EB2-NIW. If you decide to do so, get a good lawyer, though.

After Enron collapsed the auditing firm also went down for shredding the docs ... I bet PWC's shredding machines are working overtime right now.
I would bet that Satyam would be barred/ delisted shortly from nasdaq. SEC will surely take some action.
In a publicly traded company, it is almost impossible for one individual to siphon money.
I guess what might have happened here is, Satyam might have faced falling revenues year-on-year. In a sector, where each competitor is reporting 40% profits, to keep upto the performance of sector, they might have been pressured to falsify their revenues.
Now what i am unable to understand is, how come an esteemed audit org like PWC could cover up or fail to findout discrepancies. Either the auditors were stupid and overlooked, or Mr Ramalinga Raju covered up the tracks very well.
In the end it all hurts the stock holders and the employees. This one is going to go down big time in our history, and i bet its going to change the landscape of our IT services sector.

I have a medical RFE. RFE asks me to go back to the original Civil Surgeon. Since I have moved to different place going to same civil surgeon is not an option.
Has any one run into similar situation. If so please share your experience.
Maybe the IO is asking you to go to the original civil surgeon so they can make a correction/addition to the original.
I would advise you to get the whole medical redone from a new doctor(close to your home). This way IO doesnot have to compare the original and the additional results as per the RFE.
I went to a different civil surgeon as i had moved to a different state. Some doctors have a standard fee for immigration medical. Best would be for you to get the whole medical redone and submit. Take a copy of your previous medical so they can copy your immunization records. This way you can avoid some vaccinations:)

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.
Can you please share through which airlines, that goes thru brussels ?

Try the following:
1. Send all the documents that are requested to the field office one more time with FedEx signature confirmation. Take InfoPass appointment and fly to the field office and see what's going on.
2. Find your local congressman/woman by using Zip Code. Call him/her and speak to person in charge of immigration matters. Take an appointment or send them all your case details and copy of all the documents. They will follow it up generally with the agency. Also, send a personal letter describing about the hardships that you are facing because of this delay.
3. Send the same package to both the senators of your state. Follow up with them by making a phone call and personal appointment.
4. Check with your employer if they have wage issues with DOL or tax issues with IRS or other RFE cases like yours in the past. Ask them if these are resolved.
The seattle, WA office or any other local office doesnt accept form I907 (which is for PP). After my case transfered to seattle, WA my employer tried to convert into PP. He sent it to USCIS, CA they said it is not with them so they can not accept it. Then he sent it to Seattle, WA with all the letters attached. The seattle office rejected the 907 saying they dont accept 907 in their office.

Went there personally and reached the consulate at around 9:00 AM... they had the waiting area open and gave me a number... approx 40 people were ahead of mine ... I had to do two work and seems one number was good enough for that ... by 10:45 I got my turn and the lady at the counter took my papers and papers for my little one's PIO card ... I paid 20+20 = $40 extra so that they can USPS me the PP ... received it within one week and the PIO card within 10 days ... I was out by 11:00 AM from the consulate ... a personal advice, if you go personally avoid Monday or Friday .. go in a weekday and you will have better luck with the crowd...
Good thing about going personally is that you do not have to send any original doc (for PIO card case) ... they only kept my old PP and returned both the books via mail...
only advice do not except a good service at the CGINY ... the lady at the counter was nice but over all service was poor ... you can see people were enjoying morning news paper even if it was well past 9:15/9:30 ... and if you call the number no one will pick the phone ... that�s terrible ...
I took the pain of driving to NY all the way from Boston to get my passport renewed. I woke up at 3:00AM and stated off at 4:00AM so that I could reach the consulate by 8:00AM. I was told by my friends that I would get it in the evening itself. Unfortunately, I was faced with severe disappointment that they are no longer returning the passports on the same day. The worst part about the Indian consulate in NY is that they didn't update their Website. When I called them several times, non one answers the phone and speaks with courtesy.
After arriving at the consulate, we were made to wait in the cold for atleast an hour until 9:15AM (They open the doors at 9:30AM). They have no mercy for people. Also, the approach they took to call out people was terrible. It was like a fish market. I asked them if would get my passport back on the same day. I didn't get a straight answer until my number was called. I went there and atleast that lady talked to me with respect with a smiling on her face. Atlast I was told that they are not returning the passport on the same day. They asked me to pay 20 extra dollars so that they'd send the passport by Express mail (USPS). She also told me that I can track the passport.
I then drove back to Boston, the same afternoon. After exactly a week, I got the new passport booklet along with my old passport. I am fortunate enough to have all of the details printed accurately.
My strong advise to everyone is to send their passports by mail.

I have sent letter twice. They forward it as it is to USCIS and send a reply back that it has been forwarded to USCIS for action. Then you receive a letter or call from USCIS that your case cannot be considered unless your PD becomes current.

Hi,
I own a D70
I too have become obsessive compulsive about the back focus issue.
I can see it (barely) when I use the kit lens.
It is Not there with the 50mm 1.8 Nikkor I have tried as well.
To the average user, you would never notice it. As far as I can tell, my BF is about 5mm behind what I lock on to. You really only see it if you are wide open and zoomed way in.
Im not sure if I want to bother sending it in. (Hassle)
Other than this issue I must tell you that the D70 is a fantastic camera!
I've used tons of cameras and this one functions beautifully.
It gets excellent color. (Skintones blow Canons away)

Just to add -
If customer is from India/China/Mexico then they will receive the product in 10 years. Rest all can get it in 3/4 years.
If customer uses Master Card (EB-1) then they get it in 6 months, Discover (EB-2) in 1 year. Rest all will wait for a long time.
Their order goes in pending queue, if they do not receive the product within 1 year then they have to renew the order and customer will pay for this renewal.
9 YEARS AND COUNTING.........................
Discover (EB-2) in 1 year - I hope this period is not for India.
I am EB2 waiting for last 7 years. And had no idea when this wait period will end.

I guess EB3 will finally cross 2001 barrier in the next bulletin.
For Eb2, it will be like the new EB3. Just too many cases were filed in EB2 after 2005.
Good luck to everyone.:)
What is the use? EB3 had crossed into 2003 last year. Then they moved it back to 2001. Which means that they have a lot of applications pending from 2001, 2002.
