Most of us with English as our native tongue are spoiled and speak no other language well. And, as Fred says, some of us don't do well with English either...
The mountains are nice, though, since both the foreground hill and background hill are the same apparent height, it does not have as much impact as it could have.
The gull shot is sharp, but will appeal to people more if you get them traveling basically toward the camera, rather than away from the camera as is the case here. I have also found that I like to have some space in front of an animal/bird/fish so it looks like they are going somewhere.
Just my opinion. The most important thing, of course, is that you like them :)

Hello,
I spoke to my lawyer today and she made it very clear that it is ILLEGAL to file more than one I-485 for one applicant (from 2 diff companies). USCIS will immediately ask you to make a choice.
THought I should share this information
yes, thats because when filing I-485 you are 'promising' to join that company when you get your GC. How can you promise that to two companies at the same time.
However could you ask about being primary applicant on one petition and secondary on another (cases where both spouses are working, they can file two AOS and if either spouse decides to stop working for some reason the other application continues, the first can be withdrawn). This one is a grey area. Not illegal, but apparently at some point USCIS will ask you to pick one of the two. In this current mess where some companies/lawyers are promising to file, but may not do so in the end, better to give both choices a good shot, and hope atleast one gets through.

Hi Gurus,
I am filling form I-134 Affidivit of support for my wife and son to file their I-485 along with me.
In the Form in section 11,
That I intend /do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person(s) named in item 3.
(If you check "intend," indicate the exact nature and duration of the contributions. For example, if you intend to furnish
room and board, state for how long and, if money, state the amount in United States dollars and state whether it is to be
given in a lump sum, weekly or monthly, or for how long.)
if I check 'I intend', what explanation I have to write for this. Please advice...
Thanks in advance...
Ashok

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/flag_CNMI.gifAll immigration law attorneys must deal with foreign countries, unique international legal issues, and some quaint interpretations of law. The lawyers at Los Angeles' Fong & Chun are no exception, and in fact, this recent change affects some of our clients who do business in or own businesses in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
On 28 November 2008, "the United States" as defined for purposes of the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) just got bigger, with the addition of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Although there are probably wrinkles I have not yet read in the treaty, this essentially puts the CNMI on the same footing as Puerto Rico. Here's the cute part:
Because the CNMI will become part of the "United States" as defined by �101(a)(38) of the INA, "residence or presence in the CNMI before 28 November 2009 shall NOT be considered residence or physical presence within the USA for INA purposes. Thus, on 29 November 2009, all persons physically present in the CNMI are considered "to be present in the United States without inspection, by operation of law."
Will these PWIs (present without inspection) be eligible to adjust status? Unclear? Are they working "abroad" for purposes of L visas? Yes, as it turns out. One thing is clear: Legal Permanent Residents (so-called "green" card holders) who wish to base a naturalization application based on physical presence in the CNMI will NOT be able to do so for pre-29 November 2009 periods of time. Isn't this esoterica fun? --jcf

You can stay out of the US for up to 6 months with no consequence, as long as the person has a vaild green card and passport. Over 6 months contact with the US consulate is needed and the green card holder can stay out of the country for up to a year. Over a year the green card holder will forfeit their green card and not be allowed to re-enter the country.
The US permanent resident CAN stay out of the country for more than a year if they apply for and are granted a re-entry permit by USCIS prior to leaving the country. However, for a PR to become a citizen, he/she must have 5 years of continuous residency and staying abroad for more than a year will typically break it regardless of whether a re-entry permit is issued/used.
after all there is no departure date stamped in my passport? do the airlines inform INS of passenger departure dates? does INS keep a record of departure dates of green card holders in their computers?
i know that the immigration officer at the port of entry asks "How long have u been outside the US?" In my case it will be one year and one week so can i just say "about a year"

While filling the I-94 arrival record, My Friend did not give his last name at all . There was only two fields he filled 1. Given/First Name & 2. Date of Birth only.
So the I-94 record does not have his Family (Last) Name.
Is there any other center available so that he can give his last name for I-94 or he has to file the form I-102 (the disadvantage for filing the form is he has to send the original I-94 along with $320)
Thanks in advance.

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
Individuals who apply for a non-immigrant visa must be admissible to enter the United States. Inadmissible grounds to deny entry into the U.S. include, but not limited to the following:
Communicable disease;
Criminal record involving crimes of moral turpitude;
Possession of or trafficking in a controlled substance;
Trafficking persons;
Involved in money laundering;
Previously removed (deported) or previously overstayed a period of admission to the U.S.
If a non-immigrant visa holder subsequently becomes inadmissible and thus ineligible to enter the United States, depending on the inadmissibility ground, the visa holder may apply in advance of travel for a temporary waiver of inadmissibility. The waiver application is applied directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) prior to travel. Along with the signed Form I-192, Application for Advance Permission to Enter as Nonimmigrant, the applicant must submit the filing fee of $545, an official police record from country of nationality, proof of citizenship, and supporting documentation regarding the inadmissibility showing rehabilitation and character reformation. For questions concerning eligibility of the temporary waiver application, or any other area of immigration, call Kraft & Associates at 214-999-9999.

It looks staged, the way camera moves to audience before they change their expressions, and captures the falling gum balls from the bottom of jars. Even the expressions or audience are so exaggerated.
Also the numbers he is reporting might be cooked by himself with no proof or source provided where he took his numbers from.
Despite that, the argument he is provinding, itself should be given to support more immigration.
Population of all developed countries is in decline. So they are encouraging young people from other countries to support their economies. Now with so many baby boomers starting to retire, the working population of USA is not just stabilizing as he chose to say but going to decline. To support the US economy it needs young people to immigrate so that the baby boomers like himself can keep getting their social security checks in mail. So his argument is not persuasive enough to people who know better. But the problem is most people who don't know enough about immigration or economy can easily be brainwashed to become anti-immigration with this kind of pseudologic hogwash.

Hey guys,
i just picked this puppy, i ws either thinkin canon s400/500 or sony T1, i know the quality of the pics of canon are superb, but from experience of SONY camera and the size size of t1 just blown me away.
anyway, i know that there are many features, which initially are not easy to use and it takes time, but once you learn the feature,s its phenomenal!
my question was, for INDOOR use, what is the best mode to use? i tried with auto, but thigns come out blurry when there are movigng objects, or people in my case, i try to use the sports mode, but then it comes out really dark. is tehre any other mode or anythgin else i can adjust in auto mode to take nice still pictures for moving objects indoor with decent flash?
Thanks

Hi
I am in a difficult situation. I hope you can provide some guidance.
I am on 8th year of H1b. GC was messed up due to employer. A different employer has filed my labor 365 days before the I94 expires. I only have 3-4 months left on my current H1. I might have problems with my H1 transfer on time due to this new memo as I am working in layers, and I might loose my H1 status.
My wife is on F1 visa and I would like to know if
1) I can get H1 to F2 transfer. I have all recent paychecks etc and still working?
2) If I get F2, can I find a new employer who can sponsor my H1 (full time not a consultant) while in US and then do F2 to H1. I am assuming this will be a new term of H1 within the limits of the quota etc.
OR
I have to go back to my country for 1 year if I want to be on H1 again? Here I am assuming that I can re-enter the country on F2 visa then find a new sponsor. Do you see any problems with the above?
Thanks

hello..
My h1 is valid till march 2010.. but the i-94 i have is expiring in Oct.. (i changed my job ..and had been out of US..on the old stamping..)
Can iget it extended staying in US? or do i have to leave get it restamped in desh.. ?
Is it illegal to stay on expired i-94..but witha valid H1?????????
The timing of when you travelled and when your extension was approved are critical. It looks like you travelled after the extension was approved, but you just used the old visa to enter. CIS has a "last action" rule, whereby the last thing they do regarding your status is what governs. If you got an I-94 to October 2009, after the extension to 3/10 was approved, then the 10/09 date governs and you need to file an extension. Alternatively, you could travel and return showing the valid visa and new approval to get the new approval date on the I-94.

My husband is currently employed on a H1 visa and I am on a H4 visa. Our current visas(H1 and H4) are valid till January 2013. We are Candadian permanent residents who plan on ultimately applying for green cards and settling down in the US. I am a newbie in this arena and have a few questions that I tried searching answers for but couldn't find anything conclusive and would appreciate any answers
1) For various reasons can I stay back in the country for 4-6 months, while my husband goes back to Canada on the extended unpaid leave for the 4-6 months and comes back? Or if I leave with him now, can I come back after 6 months and stay here for 4-6 months? Are there any rules/regulations that prevent me from doing this. Please note that we live across the border in Canada and travel back/forth via car.
2) My hubby is planning on taking an extended unpaid leave from work( for personal and not health related reasons) and his employer is OK with that. This could be as short as 3 months and could be as long as a year. During this time we will be going back to Canada. Do you know if this will create any issues with immigration currently or in the future? How long can this leave exist?
3) If my husband ultimately comes back to a different job after this unpaid leave, will his chances of getting a visa for that new job be affected?
4) If he wants to take an extended leave do we need to leave the country? Can we take an extended leave and stay in the country? Will we be violating any rules/regulations if we do that?
5) Lets say we want to come back after 6 months, do we need to come back together?
6) If we are in Canada for the next 6 months, can we keep taking weekend trips to visit our families in US?
Would appreciate any information that anyone can provide on this.
Thanks,
