Hi folks,
The local Council for the Arts is sponsoring a photography contest and I'm planning to enter it (my first!!). The subject of the contest is an Ice Fishing Derby held Jan 29-30, 2005 in Silver Lake, NY. Not my ideal choice of subjects, but ...
Here is the primary rule:
"Winning photos will be those that best represent and display the Ice Fishing contest as an interesting winter event."
Of the ~160 shots I took, these were my favorites.
http://www.dphoto.us/forumphotos/showgallery.php/cat/1149/ppuser/
I would really appreciate your suggestions on which three shots best address the photo contest's criteria, plus a general critique.
Also, feel free to tell me that I stink as a photographer and should sell my equipment immediately.:rolleyes:
Thanks in advance!

Why did we all come to USA?
Did any of you knew the Green card problems when you came?
Did you know the problems when you applied for greencard many years ago?
When was the first time you found out there was a ling wait period and so many problems?
Brother, just relax. Take a deep breath and try to take a nap.. you will be OK. I can understand your frustration.
Get well Soon my friend.

Does anyone know the benefit to go for PIO or OCI... in relation to the Indian Baby born in US..
Thankyou
Your child is an American of Indian Origin. not an "Indian" baby born in the US.
One of our key duties as immigrants is to instill that value in our children. This way neither will they be confused, nor will they reject their roots

Hi Friends,
While filing I 131, I came across this information
"{If you are in the United States and wish to travel abroad, you do not need to apply for advance parole if both conditions described below in A and B are met:
A. You are in one of the following nonimmigrant categories:
1. An H-1, temporary worker, or H-4, spouse, or child of an H-1; or
2. An L-1, intracompany transferee, or L-2, spouse or child of an L-1; or
3. A K-3, spouse, or K-4, child of a U.S. citizen; or
4. A V-2, spouse, or V-3, child of a lawful permanent resident; and
B. A Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, was filed on your behalf and is pending with USCIS.
However, upon returning to the United States, you must present your valid H, L, K, or V nonimmigrant visa and continue to remain eligible for that status}"
My 797 petition is approved till 2011 but my H1B visa is not stamped. I am planning India trip in November. What would be appropriate for me..
Should I get H1B stamped in Mexico / Canada / India
OR
Should I apply for AP.
I have heard that after applying AP we should really not leave the country until decision has been made on AP application. I fear if I apply for AP now, probably it would not be approved by first week of November.
I don't know what to do. Any help pls..
Thanks

Investing in a company -> Yes (shareholder)
Own a company -> No
On H1b, you are not even supposed to make money via Google Adsense. Even if the money is diverted to your home country you have to quote these earnings on your taxes. H1b visa holder has to quote his/her worldwide income and its unclear if your income in your home country is taxed here be it Adsense income or a business.
No wonder many entrepreneurial ideas either die or are taking roots in Korea, India or China!
This has been my research on the internet and is not from a legal advisor.
Could you tell me what the difference is between owning a company and being a shareholder? :-))
Jokes apart, you can definitely own a company on an H1. You CANNOT work for it unless you file a H1 for yourself through your own company.

I just got my Labor approved (PD - 2/22/2008) . Attorneys are working on filing I-140.
1. Shall I wait for I-140 PP to re-instate or go ahead with normal processing?
2. Is there 'ANY' chance that my PD will be current before I get I-140 approval when filed through normal processing?
Thanks,
Ag

it is hard time for any H1 transfers. Your best bet is to try hard for a month or two, and plan to leave or stay accordingly.
Again there is no guarantee for the extension of status approval. So eventually there is chance that you might even find yourself loosing the project, when waiting for visa appointment in India. (the client may not want to wait for you for months).
So have all the facts straight, and be aware of possible outcomes. Then it is up to you to decide.

A Memorandum of Marriage is different from the Certificate of Marriage.
A Memorandum of Marriage is required to obtain a Marriage Certificate.
Here is a sample (Schedule A) of the Memorandum of Marriage.
You will need to obtain one from your local Marriage Court.
http://ncw.nic.in/compMarriageBill.pdf
I would say, the marriage certificate, a notarized copy of the Memorandum of Marriage from India, with some additional proof, like photos, invites', etc should suffice.

Thanks..I am saying or implying that they broke a Law..I am not an expert in law.. I was just intrigued by what is written on the homepage ""It is discriminatory to have laws that subject immigrants from 4 nations to more backlogs and the resulting hardship from such backlogs."
So from all the replies , it looks like Money is the main issue ( and off course effort & commitment ).
We are having donation drives here right? Need to get inputs from law experts and if they think we have a chance - why not ?
Even though it is discriminatory, it is still within the law - and therefore cannot sue our way out of this mess!

Hi Everyone,
My AP is valid until JUNE 27 2011, (Here is the line from the I-512L, Presentation of the Original Document prior to June 27 2011 allows a customs and border protection inspector at a port-of-entry to parole the named bearer) I'm travelling to India during May / June and will be entering LAX back on June25. Will this be an issue as my AP is expiring in next couple of days.
Experts please let me know your thoughts on my situation whether it is safe to travel and getting in back will not be of an issue.
Thanks if you can help me out
Regards
Karthik
why dont you apply for renewel?
Thanks

Generally you need not pay the taxes right upfront, However if at the end of the year when you file your taxes, if the IRS determines that you owed lot of taxes and you hadn't make any advance payment it could create lot of issues,
Also imagine getting a tax bill for $$$$$ at the end of the year and you need to shell out right huge amount instead of making a small installments (Similar to the W2 withholdings )
Better choice, Make an advance tax payment, it would reduce the tax burden at the end, You may also get a refund.....
You can make the advance payment by getting an voucher and filling the details...., It need not be in both names, it can be just in your wife's name.
Again it doesn't matter how much you want to pay up...Pay like 3-4K per quarter and you are good...At the end of the year if you owe any additional amount you will pay it else if you made any extra payments you will get refund
All of it is just one single payment, Nothing to separate

I know a friend in the exact same boat.. A very big multi-national co. with more than 10K employees.. they are even revoking his EB3 that was filed in 2004.. It's not USCIS rule.. it's just some employers being strict with their internal rules..
Unless you work for a big company with lots of benefits.. time to get EB3 filed.. and then bolt the first chance you get..
