One of my friends got B1 Visa(business visa, it�s valid for 10 years) through a company AAA in January 2008, still he is working for the same company in India, till now he didn't use his B1.
He applied H1-B through a company BBB, recently he received all his H1-B documents, his H1-B company suggested him to come to U.S on B1 and they want to file an amendment to change his status to H1 after coming to US.
My friend want to resign the company in this month and he want to go for training after resigning his job, it will take 2 months for completing the training.
He is planning to come to U.S in February 2009 on B1.
Could any one please help us with your valuable suggestions for the following questions?
Is it possible to come to U.S on B1 even after resigning the job?
Is there any possibility that the company revoke his B1?
What are the documents required to come to U.S on B1?
Thanks in Advance
I would strongly advise not to do this...
This can create problems at multiple levels:
- If at port of entry, he fails to explain his reason to visit; and CBP officer finds out that he intends to work; there can be 3 or 10 year bar for entering US what so ever.
- If he enters on B1 visa and files for change of status to H1 soon after entering; this is very likely to be denied and he will be deported for misrepresentation
- If he does get change of status to H1B; he will have trouble getting it stamped in future at a consulate in india (on the same grounds: initial entery on B1 was fraudulant).
- If he does not have any of the above issues; this will hunt him down during GC processing; and his GC will be denied on the same grounds.

Thanks guys!
Bob, I'm clueless on portrait photography, but they look very good to me! :)
As far as the games is concerned, I try to keep the shutter speed at 1/500 or maybe 1/400 if necessary, to freeze motion reasonably well. There's still movement visible on sticks and pucks, but that's fine IMO. The arenas I've been to so far (small local areans for lower divisions) generally have poor lighting so... I usually get f/2-f/2.8 and 1/500 or thereabouts, and I'm still underexposing slightly. Use larger apertures and too much is OOF, the DOF is too shallow as it is. I'd love to try hockey in better light.
EDIT: Forgot the lenses... most good ones seem to come from 300/2.8 (mostly from the seats as it's on the long side), 135/2 (best results so far) and 85/1.8. My 70-200/2.8 is a bit of a disappointment, it is nowhere near as good as the 135/2 when used wide open. I've also started playing around a bit with wide-angles, it can give you some unusual action shots as long as you have the nerve to remain by the boards when the players come storming by. :)
Thanks Anders.......I think I will try my 200 1.8 and 135 2.0 (I'll also bring my 85 1.8)

BTW what pesticides are good for indoor plants?
Backlog and NameCheck were the pesticides used so far and we've been pushing for organic products.. no use of pesticides... Seems USCIS/DHS agreed with our understanding of potential harm due to use of pesticides and are moving towards organic feed :-)

I see no harm in contacting him; but your excitement about Chandrasekharan seems curious to me. When people who have themselves immigrated from India (who now have GC/citizenship) are so indifferent about us, how can you expect a second generation indian journalist to "understand" our problems ? He does not seem to have done any articles on immigration; so there is no objective way for us to say whether he is really sympathetic to us or not.
Remember that even anti-immigration organizations like numbersUSA have lots of members who are immigrants themselves or have immigrant parents.
I totally agree with you. But there is no harm in trying with him.He may be or may not be sympathetic to us.We don't know that ! He sees to be a smart journalist. If he is nice and sympathetic to legal immigrants,you may see a front page article about legal immigrants in Washington Post. Hope for the Best !

This is ridiculous. Lots of stress for most guys and even bad for members you had their vacation cut short and returned to US for applying AOS. At least I know one friend who had his family return from India. Only thing is we all have the required documents ready to go and the medical is valid for a year, and if and (IF) the date�s moves forward in October, we can still use the same.
Anyway, we got to deal with this and use this opportunity to educate people on this and may be we need to start a fax campaign and send to congress and the government agencies and emphasize on the necessity to recapture the unused visa from past and find a way to be able to apply for I-485 while the visa numbers are not available, which could be the only option that would alleviate many issues for the members stuck in retrogression. This is not happend with any intervention from Congress, which requires lots of lobbying and money.
Hope we at IV can do something and get some assit from competeamerica, etc... to do something about this.

i don't think anyone would be able to use first EAD filed during July/Aug time frame as I-140 itself will take more than 1 yr.. or longer who knows...money wasted on EAD.
Ok, this might seem like a really basic question considering most of you guys are at the guru level regarding these matters, but does your I-140 need to be approved before you can use your EAD? More importantly (as in my case), can I use my AP to travel if both my I-140 and I-485 are still pending?
Thanks..

Hi,
I've already completed my 6 yrs on H1, have my 140 approved, applied for extension and got it (before 6 yr expiry). The extension has been approved for 3 years.
Now -- I need to change employers as my employer is asking me to become full time from consulting.
2 questions:
1. Can I use this extension to change employers?
2. Can I start the GC process with the 140 priority date? (Feb '08)?
Thanks
PS: I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.
You will have to restart your GC process, but once you have the new PERM and I-140 approved, you can recapture your old PD (which is Feb '08), but you can't use provisions from the AC21 unless your AOS was pending for at least 180 days when you make the change.
This is not legal advise - a lawyer consultation is highly recommended.

I also don't have a Nikon D40x, but I don't think any of this discussion is related to the specific camera model, although some of my discussion relies on you being able to change settings on the camera, and my names of things may be off from what Nikon uses - hopefully I can still get you on the right track.
It's actually a myth that a longer lens requires a higher aperture. For the same framing, you get the same DOF (Depth Of Field) for the same aperture, whether you use a 600mm telephoto lens or a 4.5mm ultra-fisheye. The only difference is that if you want to fill the frame with a sparrow, you can sit at 10 meters or so with a 600mm, and you need to be touching the sparrow with the lens to get it to fill the fram on a 4.5mm lens. Since most of the time, we don't try to get "eye to eye" with wild sparrows and ultira-fish-eyes, nor take pictures of "everything around you" with a 600mm tele (which would put you half a mile away, or so), it appears that the wide-angle has a bigger depth of field. If you don't beleive me, feel free to place a page of newspaper print at an angle (so that you can see how much of it is in focus), and photograph the exact same bit of text from different distances with the same aperture and different focal length.
So, smaller aperture (bigger number) will allow more depth-of-field, no matter what lens you use. Wide-angle works well for indoors shots, because it's usually close-up - but I have used my 100mm Macro for some of the shots of my son.
For "active" shots, you may want to aim for f/5.6 - f/8 or so. ISO 400 or higher helps reduce the look of "flash in dark room" scenario.
For the other trick when taking action shots of kids, the trick is to use the same settings as the sports photographers: relatively short shutter speed (unless you actually want motion blur as part of the image - in the right place, it's good, in most cases not!), and use "following autofocus" (aka AF Servo or Tracking AF) - this is the part where knowing what Nikon calls it could come in handy - so that the AF is continously focusing on the subject, same as if you were trying to follow a basketball-player as he makes his way across the court to the basket. That way, the camera tries to focus (and uses "computer magic" to PREDICT where the focus should be once the shutter is triggered).
Third, I think Nikon flashes also support "Second curtain flash", which is definitely the better option for "natural looking light" - this allows the camera to capture the natural light first, the flash the flash, rather than the ohter way around. It should, in theory, make no difference, but I find that it gives a more natural look. Twiddling with the balance between flash and natural light will get you there sooner or later (usually, in my case, later - after son or daughter have finished thinking photography is fun!). The adjustments are:
- smaller aperture (bigger F-number)
- faster shutter speed
- lower ISO number.
gives more flash. Opposite gives more of the natural light.

The following comment made by other member looks inappropriate to me:
"Schwarzenegger cares for Kali-4-nia. He should support legal immigrants as a lot of this community lives there. Where? In Kali-4-nia."
I learned that it is not difficult to meet governor; he also have good reputation with Bush ( so things might change in our favor).
