Sorry to go on about my birds, but this I wanted to share...
I was out to get some training photographing flying birds when I suddenly saw this seagull that had a wooden stick poking out from the neck. I decided to turn photo journalist for a while and concentrate on pictures of this unlucky bird. I don't know what could have happened to it, either it has accidentally flown into something or God forbid someone has shot an arrow at it. :(
I have already found out that photographing flying birds is difficult, but try photographing a specific bird in a big flock - that's taking the difficulty to another level! :) I managed to get a few inflight pictures as well though. Unfortunately it was of course not too difficult to spot with the wooden pointer attached.
This is what I first saw, the bird flying past me a couple of times:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3345.jpg
He was clearly irritated, kept scratching around the head and shaking to get rid of the stick:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3402.jpg
This bird seemed quite dominant, kept chasing off other birds, so it wasn't too hindering:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3353.jpg
He was also out on the water, resting as well as courting and chasing other birds:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3382.jpg
When I threw in some bribes he also joined in in the feeding, both feet and stick in the water:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3362.jpg
Here's another inflight picture with the ugly stick poking out:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3396.jpg
And a final portrait of this unlucky bird:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3329.jpg
To end on a slightly brighter note here are two birds just about to take off:

1. In case of foreign currency payment, u can always walk to airline's kiosk in nearest airport and make a payment using any CC in USD.
2. Different travel sites have quota from airlines and they show different route/sector for different $$, so no one is best at all times!
2. Use aggregation search site like http://www.mobissimo.com to find best deals!

I am putting an extra freshly painted mailbox with a big bold name in red color and a message-- 'Put my greencard here' for the postman. :)
Lets see how many years it will take for him to finally grant me my wish.
Yeah. Why not put a red stocking (christmas stocking) in the mail box tagged "For Greencards only. Do not put pizza hut coupons in here. This is for USCIS approval notices and greencards only".

I don't know about Texas, but we live in CA and my wife (dependent on I-485) claimed unemployment benefits for about 3 months last year. We got a notice from EDD (Employment Development Dept) to send them a copy of EAD (for Alien Number) so they can let USCIS know that she has claimed unemployment benefits and if she is eligible in terms of immigration status.
A couple weeks later, we got another letter from EDD saying that after considering the decision from USCIS, you qualify for the unemployment benefits and your compensation per week would be so and so, etc.
(We have no idea what they actually asked USCIS and what USCIS answered them but nevertheless, they had a communication with them.)
Hope it helps.
Has anyone claimed unemployment benefits in EAD in TX state after being laid off? Can you please tell whats the procedure. I do not want to get into the debate of whether UB can be claimed while in AOS state? I just need to know the procedure. Thanks.

Because you , me and many like us have bad luck!!!! EB categories are now unofficial lottery system. If you lucky you will not wait!
I dont have any other explanation.
The harder I worked, the luckier I got.. I am quoting somebody here.
What did we really do in the last so many years to highlight our issues. Be frank. Did you just wait for things to happen or did you participate or do somethig atall. Your answer will help others realize if something is missing and hence can convert into positive action.

I am on 9th Year H1 extension and my H1 will expire in end of September 2009.My Labor got approved in 2007 So, I filed I140 and I-485 concurrently. But My I-140 got denied which filed with concurrent then Lawyer appealed as Motion to Reopen the I-140 which got denied and lawyer filed another I-140 as a brand new.
So there are 2 I-140's with the USCIS.
Recently I got intended to Deny like ability to pay query with the Second I-140 case, then lawyer answered the query and filed in premium this one got denied after a week.
Again, First I-140 which lawyer did Motion to Reopen this one also denied from the USCIS but the lawyer appealed this one.
Infact I recently travelled to india and came back on Advance Parole before all this denial happend.
Now, I filed my H1B extension , What will happen to the H1 extension ?
and What is my status now?
Can I tranfer my H1 and file the labor entirely new with the new company eventhough I am in the 9th year extension?
Any help would appreciate
Thanks
Reddy
Though you entered US on AP, since you are continuing working for the same employer on H1, you are still considered to be maintaining H1 status. Your H1 extension will probably get approved (assuming you submitted all supporting docs required for H1) for 1 yr based on your pending I-140 appeal. Your H1 extension will still be valid for its duration even if your appeal gets rejected after you get the H1 approval. So you can continue working for the same employer till H1 expires.
Regarding moving to a new employer and starting the GC process from scratch..You will have to find a new employer and transfer your H1 while your I-140 appeal is still in process. You will get the extension for 1 yr. Then you will have to get your PERM and I-140 approved before your H1 from the new employer expires, so you can get it extended for 3 yrs based on I-140 approval....You should consult an experienced attorney on your plan of action as time is critical for you..Good luck.

You are not getting it. If you file for divorce, your spouse won't get GC, whichever way you want to twist it.

Wondering whether you would take a decision just based on what we amateurs have to say. At least ask this question on the "free question to attorney thread" if you are looking for an answer you can trust.
Ultimately I guess "same and similar" is a totally gray area. I donot know whether there are some guidelines for the adjudicators but that phrase can be as broadly or narrowly interpreted as the IO wants it to be.
I am currently working as a Programmer Analyst on EB3 and Using my EAD through 485.
I plan to convert to a new postition that of Senior Applications Developer where the job duties will be atleast 50% different from my existing position
But here is the problem If i am using my EAd obtained from Eb3 program Analyst position then can I work on another position which is 50% different from my existing position as per AC21 rules

I am using AC21 and moving on
My new company had filed H-1 B transfer, but it came back from USCIS because some document were missing, now they have refilled it using premium processing and we have received the receipt notice too.
Even though we have filed H-1 B transfer filed, my lawyer and company insisting me to join them on EAD, because they say it H-1B got rejected so EAD is a better option
As per my lawyer once H-1 B is approved you can work on EAD or H-1 B it does not matter, I don�t have to file my change of status. both of my status will remain valid and I can travel on h-1 B and can change jobs on H-1 B
If I follow my lawyer, will I lose something ?
Had anyone had experience like this before..
I need second opinion from guru who have actual experince..
thanks for your inputs

I am one of the July 2 filers. I need to go to India on 1st November. I was hoping that AP will come by that time. But there has been no progress on that. Just spoke to my Attorney. She said that USCIS does not have any facility to issue AP for an emergency.
Then I called USCIS. I was told the same thing. The Customer Service representative said - I should go wherever I need to go. On arrival contact the local US Embassy and tell them that you need AP to travel back. They will "guide you".
On this forum I have read about INFOPASS many times. I was hoping to use that facility if I did not get AP in time. I am trying to find out if anybody actually used INFOPASS to meet a local Immigration Officer and got AP on an emergency basis.
No theoretical guesses please.
Thanks
Local US Embassy cannot process or give you advance parole.

Hello,
Last November I quit my job in the US and left the country as well. Two days ago, I received an email saying my 485 is approved, and card production was ordered. The card will go to an address in the US where someone can forward me the mail.
What should I do? Try to enter the U.S. with the card? What to say to POE officials? WIll I be questioned?
Thanks.
Do you have a valid AP?
If not, how is it possible to enter the country?

I have a question regarding where to file my EAD renewal application. I am a July filer NJ resident and my I-485/EAD/AP were sent to Nebraska and got the AP/EAD approved through Nebraska going by my LIN no. As per the (C)(9) rules it says NJ residents should file to Texas service center and somewhere else I read that my EAD renewal application should be sent to the location where my I-485 is getting processed.
Please share your experiences.
