OK...so your main interests for this lens are landscape, concert, and sports phototography. First off, when I say the lens is variable aperture from 3.5 to 5.6, that means at the low end f the zomm the aperture will be 3.5. At the long end (200mm) the aperture will be 5.6. The higher the number, the smaller the aperture. The smaller the aperture, the less light gets let in. When less light gets in two things happen, your shutter has to be open longer. and you get more DOF. This will effect your intended shooting situations. Concert photography requires large apertures (smaller f#s). So shooting with that lens in a concert setting will be difficult on the short end, and almost impossible the majority of the time on the long end. 5.6 will require a very slow shutter speed in that circumstance. Same for indoor sports. For landscapes and daylight work, you should not have a problem.....hope this helps a little.
Actually Steve I've been doing some reading and research but I've always been some what of a "show me don't tell me" type person. At the present I only own the Kit lens that came with the D70 (AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED). So you have me at a disadvantage when you speak of limitations of a lens that goes to 5.6 on the long end. Basically I'm looking for a affordable zoom for landscape, concert and sport photography. I've read several favorable user reviews but then not knowing the source of these reviews you don't know if they also gave four and a half stars to a coke bottle. Reading through posts here on the forum I can tell who are the professional photographers by their equipment knowledge. So saying that there are opinions I would find more valuable than others. In a nutshell I have found the lens in question on Ebay at a current bid of 250 dollars. If I am correct this is half of what it lists for. I'd just like to know if it would be a good buy/good lens for a aspiring photographer to begin expanding his lens arsenal with.

How come you got two red square thingies with just one post? :confused::eek::cool::D
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for January 2008 contains more bad news for Indian nationals in the EB2 category. The cutoff date for EB2, India, retrogressed by two additional years, to January 1, 2000. Moreover, the prediction contained in the Visa Bulletin for EB2, India, is that the annual limit could be reached within the next few months. If this occurs, the category will become "unavailable" for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The explanation for this is simply that demand for visa numbers by the USCIS for EB2, India, adjustment-of-status cases far exceeds supply
EB3 cutoff dates either remained unchanged or moved slightly forward, depending upon country of chargeability. The January Visa Bulletin cutoff dates become effective on January 1, 2008. Until that time, the December 2007 Visa Bulletin cutoff dates remain valid.
thanks

My employer has not provided copy of labor or I-140.
I am not planning to use AC-21 as my employer and work profile is good. But say if there is some thing unplanned happens, and if I need to change jobs, what can I do?
not having copy of labor or I-140 is an issue for AC21?
Does the cover-letter you included while filing your 485 include your job duties?
thats basically what you need, to make sure your new duties/position are inline with what was decribed in the LC.

Non-immigrants residing in the U.S. are required to update USCIS with a change of address within 10 days of moving. As you now appear to be living in a different location "y", you should update USCIS for you and any dependents immediately.
As you are now living/residing in place "y" that is your residential address and you will need to file your AP/EAD (I-131/I-765) renewals according to your current address.
Some general instructions:
Please be sure to visit the USCIS website at https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa for information regarding U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Change of Address procedures and for access to Form AR-11. USCIS expects that the Form AR-11 should be mailed or submitted electronically within ten days of any change of home address. You may submit the form electronically to https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa.Terms, or by mail to the USCIS address listed on the Form.
If not submitting electronically, we strongly advise that all such forms be sent using U.S. Certified Mail, and Return Receipt cards. Sending the AR-11 form via Certified Mail is the only way to prove that change-of-address notification was submitted in a timely fashion.
Please be sure to indicate that you have pending petitions and provide the respective receipt numbers.
Good luck

Hi. I realized that I made a mistake when filling out the I 485 Part Three:
I posted this at the wrong spot initially. Sorry.
I made a mistake on the I485 form Part Three Processing Information. Specifically, I filled in the I-94 number issued for my H1B as the "Nonimmigration Visa Number", instead of the visa number I got when I was still in F1 Student status.
I called USCIS twice and they informed me that I can make corrections after I get the receipt--I can send in a corrected form, along with a letter explaining the correction, and also a copy of the receipt.
I was wondering whether anyone here had done that before.
I am kicking myself for misunderstanding the form! Please help!

Barking dogs seldom bite. He is just another Lou Dobbs Please ignore him. There is no way he can change the right to cictizenship for children born in the USA. It is next to impossible since it is a part of the constitution. It is very difficult to change something that is linked to the constitution. So, ignore this "BARKING DOG."
Just on the lighter side...
Definitely not when biting!!!..
So, a barking dog will still bite, but it stops barking just b4 that..:). So the old adage still holds good..

Called her. But she is interviewing Ashish who is in Manhattan, and even though i'm not Indian and since i'm working in Westchester (about 10~15) miles from the city she would not be able to conduct the interview.
I urge that anybody who is not Indian and in Manhattan to please call her.

We need to have a working group to generate awareness @ grassroot levels about legal EB immigrations - common voters, media, people working around you.
This is a good idea.
How about you take your idea further and start this group. I am sure many folks who agree with you will join you. What do you think?

Hi aperregatturv
I'm in the same situation... Did u travel before u got the card?
My case was approved on April 27, but I have got nothing on the mail so far and I have my sister's wedding to attend in my country... My husband can go later and give it to me, but I'm a little afraid.
I wanna know if evrything was ok with you and if u would recommend me to do that. I'm going crazy cause my flight is for May 11th and if I need to cancel I gotta do it 2 days in advance, no later than tomorrow I guess... I don't know If I should wait or just cancel flight. I'm going crazy!
Please let me know how it went for you. Or if anyone else have traveled in this way before, give me some advice.
Thanks to all in advance!

If you have not yet received any RFE, you are a lucky person and your I-485 application has been filed perfectly. As per USCIS announcements, they have almost completed (99.99%) review of all pending AOS cases and pre-adjudicated most of them. I will presume that your case has been pre-adjudicated and all set to go Green whenever visa number is available.
One way to find out whether your case been pre-adjudicated is to call USCIS thro POJ method and talk to a IO (not customer service person) and they will be able to tell you.
Thanks for reply, if you don't mind, do you have the USCISs' announcement link about this pre-adjudication ? Does it say those who pre-adjudicated will not get any future RFE/Denials ?

EB2 gets unused EB1 quota. So potentially more GC numbers under EB2. Now I am not sure if EB1 is fully utilized or not so it might not really matter.
I have been thinking in what way EB2 vs EB3 matters after filing 485. Here is the scenario..
My friend (EB2-INDIA-Labor_Dec2005-485_receipt_Date_072007) and I (EB3-INDIA--Labor_Dec2001-485_receipt_Date_062007) have filed our I-485 almost same time...
Assume that all Dates are curent now...My friend was saying that he will get his GC prior to me since he is EB2...
My question is in what way EB2 vs EB3 matters once we file I-485. According to me, as long as Visa dates are current EB2/EB3 does not matter. It all depends of RD (Receipt Date) when Visa dates are current..
Please correct me if I am wrong...

Please admin I need help here. I am leaving my best job and going back to join worst desi employer just to file for 485. But I am scared to death what if he denies to file my 485? what are the documents needed if he denies?
Otherwise I will be from nowhere .
Like I said, please contact a good lawyer for best possible course of action. You will need 140 approval photocopy at the minimum. If you have that, then its possible to file 485 behind employer's back BUT PLEASE CONSULT A LAWYER as there may be pitfalls that apply to your case and you need to know about them.

Your lawyer is right. People are taking advantage of portabilty of PD in multiple 140s. However, they are forgetting fundamental of 140 sponsership. Your employer already filed a 140 for a higher level position (EB2) and now requesting again USCIS to approve a 140 for a lower level position (EB3) for same employee with in a months. How will you justify? Howmany job offer your employer can give you? Is there any logic involved, for a person already given a higher level position, to take a lower level position. In the eyes of USCIS, it will defintly looks like your employer is doing fraud and there is no genuine job offer to you. If it is otherway, it may not look bad. If your first I-140 was EB3 and second one is EB2, then there may be a logic.
If what you are saying constitutes a fraud, isnt filing the PERM the first step of the fraud and thats already committed -
I'm not a lawyer - so dont know much about legalities - but this is a common practise nowadays - filing multiple labor petitions for the same person does happen - I believe it certainly is possible that you can go forward provided and thats very important - provided your company is willing to cooperate. It can always happen that they had job 'X' initially but later on the requirements changed which created job 'Y'. Now, you are overqualified for 'Y' as X's qualitifications were greater than Y but that doesnt stop you from applying for or to be considered for job 'Y'. There are folks who have 10 years of experience and their labor is for 2 or 3 years of experience. Certainly doesnt look like fraud to me - of course, if your company wants you to be stuck - you dont have much choices. I've known another instance where the company claimed it may be fraud and on something that they had proposed to do all along - things did sort out finally but its a long story :-)

All,
I sent out my application to USCIS last week and while talking to a friend I realized that I had not filled the Item
"If your native alphabet is in other than Roman letters, write your name in your native alphabet below:"
I neither filled it with my native alphabet nor filled it with a "N/A" Even my lawyer has not detected this.
Is this going to be an issue? What will the USCIS do about it? Since I still have time does it make sense to send a revised form? Is some one out there who have done this?
Please let me know
Thanks
-Sri
