I have browsed at two local specialist camera stores but the only digitals were either very old or cost more than I can buy new on line.:(
When you buy a film camera, you can "upgrade" the image quality, up to a certain point, by buying different film. With a digital SLR, you're essentially buying the camera plus a certain (but unknown) amount of "film." Any camera will fail at some point in time, but the general probability is that the shutter of a $1000 film camera will last a while longer than the shutter of a $1000 digital camera (the former would be a pro model, while the latter is basically amateur or lower end prosumer).
What I'm not trying to do is convince you to buy a film SLR. I have one, and would upgrade to a DSLR at the drop of a hat if I could afford it. What I am attempting to caution you about, is that a used DSLR will come with no reasonable warranty, and a certain (unknown) amount of the "film" already used up. Given the apparent "free"-ness of digital capture, lots of people shoot thousands of frames per day without thinking (I have nothing against pros who need to "machine gun" it to capture the right moment in sports - this rant was against amateurs who shoot tons of frames without any thought, hoping something good may come out by chance). Thus, you have no idea how much life will be left in a used DSLR when you buy it, and more likely than not, there will be no guarantee if it does fail. It's like buying expired film on ebay... risky, but you pays your money and you takes your choice.

I am a dentist in state of CA,and filed for EB2 green card.In April 2006 applied for my PERM from MD Dental, a dental group with 5 offices and about 30 employs and owned by 2 partners.Also in April 2006 they applied for my H1b visa.Further PERM and H1b both were approved and in may 2006 I filed for I-140 from the same company.I-140 had a RFE but was approved in Feb 2007.Meanwhile in Oct 2006 both partners had a is understanding and they split the company into 2 companies with one partner getting 2 offices and the other partner getting 3 offices.Originally my perm was filed from the MD dental Van-Nuys office, which was given to partner A who then told me to file for a new H1b as tax ID number for the employer has changed but my job location would not change. I filed for a new H1 visa from partner A which was also approved and started to work for him till Feb 2007.
In feb 2007 I found a new job again as a dentist with a different company and moved to that company.I am still in good contact with both partner A and partner B of the old company.
My question is if I could file for I485 from MD dental which is already split with
approved I140, or I could file it from partner A or partner B`s new company showing either of them as succesor of interest.Also can I invoke AC21 in 6 months and move to my current employer.
Please advice.
May be you need to amend I-140. Please consult a good attorney/lawyer.

Does anyone know what time it may take for FP notices to arrive for guys whose cases were Xfered to CSC?
BTW, does that make any difference if the 485 case has been transferred from another center to TSC? majority of guys who've got the FP notice are straight filters at TSC.

Hello all:
I have few questions related to my travel plans to India. We will be leaving in January 2009.
We have our Advance Parole and EAD approved till 2009. I-485 is still pending . EB3 India.
My H1B visa stamp is not current or up-to-date on my passport. We have booked our flights with North-west airlines and KLM which will depart from Detroit-Amsterdam-Mumbai. I have few questions pertaining to my travel.
1) Would I still need to get a transit visa for Amsterdam, even though our flight will be halting for few may be 3-4 hours at Amsterdam- Schiphol Airport? If I do have to arrange for Amsterdam transit-visa, then where should I start as far as documentation is concerned.
2) Besides carrying my Passport, Advance parole copies with me, please advise me if I need to carry any more documentation from my end.
3) Would I need a copy of employment letter for visa purpose, or carrying my recent pay-stubs would be fine?
I would appreciate if you could please guide me with the travel related visa -requirements and documentation. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
I am pretty sure we are in the last state but I will check that and make sure when I get home tonight. We have filled out forms called Packet III and sent them in. I was told that we are waiting for a gereen card number available so we can get a consular processing date. And I tried calling immigration couple time with our case number starting ANK...(for Turkey).I was told by them our case was approved too...
It has been much more then 6months...so you are saying that she can change employers.Very interesting...The lawyer told us otherwise.

We went through the similar situation few weeks back. My wife's employer took her out of payroll for sometime as she could not get her EAD approved on time. But we had to convince the manger that the delay was infact the result of USCIS processing our application late and they checked our EAD application receipt notice to make sure that we applied beyond the 90 day mark . This would help immediate managers to make a decision infavour of us when in talks with higher-up's.
Also if the application has been pending beyond 75 day , USCIS would allow you to make expedite request.
Thanks
what exactly does staying out of payroll involve? do they exclude the dates of unpaid leave on the paystub? do we need to fill up a new I9 form?

My lawyer is saying you need a valid reason to apply. My wife wants to visit India when i asked he said you cannot apply AP for visiting purpose, you need a valid reason to apply and a letter or wedding invitation to apply.
what shall I do?:confused:
What is sh.... lawyer.. You only need a valid reason for expediting your AP application. For regular applications, they don't even have a column asking for any valid reason.
Assuming you are applying based on your pending Employment based I-485.

Also, Core Team might be travelling a lot to DC and other places this month. So it might help if you could donate your airline and/or hotel miles, that you may have.
I can transfer some of my Marriott / Hilton points that I have to the Core Team members.
Please let me know. Thanks!

Yep..they just noted that I came for the initial appointment and asked to come after my finger heals..i had surgery on the finger and went back after the finger healed
If you dont mind telling me, which ASC you went to ? can you give the city and state? Also when they put a note on the FP notice , do they return the original FP to you or they keep it. The reason I am asking is I am thinking of doing a walk-in at some other ASC in case the original ASC asks to reschedule instead of doing walk-in after healing. So I will need the original FP appointment if I goto some other ASC. My wife has some travel plans in coming 2-3 weeks and want to get this out of the way.

Contact the federal elected representative in your employer's district. If they are not immigrant friendly, try the elected representative in your district (if different). There is a congressional liason inquiry process that can be leveraged to expedite your LC application. My application was pending for 8 months with no new status from DoL. I contacted my employer's congressman, explained the situation, and supplied a letter from my attorny, and my LC was approved within 3 weeks.

Assuming you have very good credit history - you may also consider getting Citibank PremierPass Elite card. It gives you 1 thankyou point for each mile - multiplied by the number of travellers when you book using this card. This is in addition to any airline miles you will earn.
I got $500 of gift cards (staples/sears etc.) and cash checks from encashing the thankyou points (roughly fifty something thousand) from my last India trip. This card has $75 yearly fee - but that is more than compensated by the 20,000 bonus thank you points they give for enrolling in the card.
And if you have a long layover like I had (7 hours) - maybe you could even consider one of those cards which gives you free lounge access. I have Citibank Platinum Amex. These cards require even better credit history than Premierpass Elite. Again - all these cards have yearly fee - but you can get bonus for enrolling which compensates for these. Mine has a $125/yr fee and gave me a bonus of 20,000 thankyou point for enrolling.
I typically go to india every alternate year. My plan is to cancel these cards every year and re-enroll just before I travel.
Hey, what is the cash back rate? 1%, 2%? Is there any limit?

eb3,
with all due respect, I really doubt if this is the bet way to get people to donate. Calling people cheap is not a nice thing and generally not recommended.
I know your intentions are good and ...
Granted, its nto the best way. Now, can you suggest a way pls ? What is generally recommended ?
Can you pls help 'convince' people to contribute...

Thanks nozerd & GVR for the responses. Helps out a lot in planning the trip.
I guess googling the SIN application process would help, but if you have reliable pointers please send them this way.
At POE they will ask you for an address for the PR card. Normally at land border they are strict and wont take a friends address etc. At airport they tend to be easier on you in accepting any address.
You dont need to do anything else. You may apply for a SIN number (Canada equivalent for an SSN) so that in the future if and when you do move there you can start working from day 1 because YOU WILL need SIN to work in Canada.
Many also start a bank account to show ties. You can do this depending on how much chance you think there is if you move there in the next 3 yrs before you loose your PR status.
