In the March issue of BioScience (a widely read scientific journal) Gillean Andres reports on the growing momentum for new federal incentives to attract new students into careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The article is available here: Washington Watch: The Cost of Doing Business: Should the United States Create Incentives for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) Labor? (http://www.aibs.org/washington-watch/washington_watch_2006_03.html).
Legislators in both parties have been attentive to these proposals. High-profile Republicans, including Representative Frank Wolf (VA) and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, were among the first advocates for a renewed investment in innovation to protect the STEM workforce. Now they have been joined by leading House Democrats and a bipartisan group of senators.
So, the general political climate seems favorable to what Immigration Voice is trying to achieve. The question is whether IV can cash in on the opportunity.

Hi,
I have a EB3 labor and 140 approved with PD->12/2002. By 12/2002 I do have 5yrs experience but now (2007) I do have 5yrs experience and I am eligible for EB2.
My question to the gurus is can I use my EB3 PD for EB2 with new employer and can apply for 485 which is current for 12/2002?
yes you can apply EB2 if you have 5 yeas experience as of 2007 and can port PD.
Also, while during this transistion/waiting for EB2 labor and 140 with the new company what happens that my previous employer cancels my GC application? Can I still use that PD ?
According to Rajiv khanna and other lawyers it is possible. But to be on safe side do not join new company and convince new company to file labour and I140 as future employer and can join at I485 stageThanks in advance!

Kudos to Senator Chuck Schumer for raising the profile of a serious issue - discrimination against same-sex partners in US immigration law. Even as several states are enacting marriage equality laws and anti-discrimination laws are moving forward around the US (including here in my home town of Memphis), the antiquated Defense of Marriage Act prevents USCIS from treating these families fairly. The UAFA would be a huge step forward. The Senate will have its first hearing on the bill tomorrow. My friend Chuck Kuck, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, has posted his written statement here. Thanks to reader...

Hi:
Maybe some of you can help me with my problem. I was directly hired to work in the US with two other colleagues. Our PD was April 04. We got our LC�s last year. My two friends and I applied for I-140 last December 2006. (same job, same employer sponsoring us). The two got their I-140 by June and were able to receive their GC courtesy of the July fiasco.
Last May 07, I was told that I was mailed an RFE. I never received it. As you may know, you can only follow this up after a month. Three phone calls (and months) and two faxes (two months) later, still no letter. My lawyer is at his wits� ends. The other day, he gets an appointment at a USCIS center near our area. He says this office �has no jurisdiction over my case� and that this was a long shot. An immigration officer looks at the computer system in the office and says that the system�s list of RFE cases does not include my name, and perhaps there was an error. Perhaps�
Has anybody heard of a similar case? My lawyer is now suggesting that I write a congressman for help. Do you think this will help?
My husband and I filed our I-485 + his EAD last July 19. Today we received acknowledgment receipts for both and a notice that we have to go thru FP next week. . Is this a positive sign , or does this mean nothing at all? I noticed that current PD for 3rd preference visas has rolled back to Aug 02. Can anyone hazard a guess as to how long we may reasonably have to wait for a GC? Or for my husband�s EAD?
Thanks.

Mine is 11-3021.00 job zone 4 applied in Jan 2009. Anxiously waiting. :-)
What is the reason behind you saying 'case may be audited' for the OP. Just curious to check your side of thoughts.
If your title falls under Job Zone 4, you can still apply for EB2. However, there is a possibility that your case will be audited.

U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPR) of the U.S. who are pre-approved, low-risk travelers are eligible to participate in the Global Entry Program, which allows expedited clearance upon arrival from international travel. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) began their pilot system on June 6, 2009, in seven airport locations throughout the United States. Beginning August 24, 2009, the Global Entry Program will expand the program to include kiosks at 13 additional international U.S. airports including airports in Boston, Massachusetts; Dallas, Texas; Detroit, Michigan; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Honolulu, Hawaii; Las Vegas, Nevada; N.J.; Orlando, Florida; Sanford, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; San Juan, Puerto Rico; San Francisco, California, and Seattle, Washington.
Upon arrival from international travel, approved members of the Global Entry Program will use kiosks and complete their CBP processing. After answering customs declaration questions on the kiosk’s touch-screen, a transaction receipt will be printed. The receipt will be presented to CBP officers before leaving the inspection area. This program is an alternative to regular passport processing lines. Thus, individuals wishing to utilize the program may complete their interview and biometric data collection at enrollment centers at any of the Global Entry sites.
More information on the Global Entry Program (http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/trusted_traveler/global_entry/) is available at the CBP Web site.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
In an interview on David Letterman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpvNXPPOMr8), actor Robert Downey, Jr., talked about a problem he had last year in Japan, when upon entering he was detained and questioned about his past criminal record. Downey said: I probably should have seen there was a sign that said 'No Felons Allowed' in English and Japanese and I haven't had that expunged yet," he said. "You can actually get things expunged but I've been pretty busy. So I was detained, I was interrogated. It was a blast.
Haven't you settled up? Haven't you paid your debts? Letterman asked.
Clearly I haven't paid my debts to Japan, said Downey.
While I certainly feel somewhat bad for Mr. Downey, this short exchange gave the impression that nothing similar would ever happen in America! Hah!
U.S. Immigration Law contains restrictions that bar entry to people forever, for virtually any youthful indiscretion they have ever had, e.g. simple possession of a marijuana 20 years ago, without regard to whether or not you were actually convicted of the crime! You do not even need to have been convicted; the fact that you admit you did it will also get you barred from entry. Heck you will even be bounced (http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/43) from the United States after overstaying your visa for one day, leaving one day late, and then trying to come back in on that visa. Or, you will be detained and returned because the officer thinks you MIGHT be working (http://addxorrol.blogspot.com/2007/07/ive-been-denied-entry-to-us-essentially.html).
So, if you were watching David Letterman and thanking your lucky stars that America is far nicer to arriving tourists than Japan--think again!

Hello,
Last week i received RFE for my wife's father's name. The name on birth certificate is different from school leaving & other docs. I'm trying to get it corrected from Mumbai.
I beleive if i get a correct one matching with other docs, i should be ok.
Another issue, i have is i have rented an apartment under my name close to my work in the same state. All my docs have my home address, my question is will it affect my case if they find another address under my name?? I still have official address as my home everywhere...
Yes you need to make sure that all documents have consistency in names and dates. As far as your second question goes USCIS has space for just one address which should be your current address. So as long as you can prove that the address listed in CIS system is the most current address then you are fine. There is no law or no way to provide multiple address. Just make sure you can prove that address on file is your primary residence.

You can find noraties always at the nearest "Mailboxes Etc".. in the town; they are pricey though at $ 10 per attestation, else you should check your legal department in your work place.

From this (http://www.cameraquest.com/adapt_olyE1.htm) I take it that the answer to your questions is:
It doesn't detract from the image quality.
It doesn't change the aperture (speed) of the lens.
However, you only get manual focusing, manual exposoure and manual aperture settings. So you don't get any of the fancy features that the camera offers.
Considering that the above site is asking a rather large amount of money for the adapter itself, I'd say that it's probably only worth it if you find some good old manual Nikon lenses [it's no point in getting fancy AF, VR lenses, as either of those features will not work anyways].

Not really digital, but an amazing accomplishment. From the Nikon press area:
Record breaking Nikon F5
Service engineers at Nikon�s German Service Centre were amazed to discover during routine servicing recently that a Nikon F5 had achieved 1,092,904 shutter releases without fault.
Translating into about 35 kilometers of film this figure is a testament to the durable design of the mechanism, now also shared by the latest Nikon D2H Professional Digital SLR.
To put the 1,092,904 shutter releases into context, it equates to 34 hours of continuous shooting at 8 frames per second.
The camera is one of the bodies used in the Matthaus Photographic Studio in Nuremburg, Germany.
Nikon Germany�s Service Manager Joachim Hoffman said: �This is the most shutter releases I have ever seen. The F5 shutter is, in my opinion, definitely more durable than any other camera�s. Because the F5 in question was well looked after and serviced regularly, that makes it last longer- it�s a bit like going to the dentist!� he added.

Hello,
I am going to Chennai for my visa stamping and the consulate website says that I need to present the " complete I-129 petition submitted by your prospective employer including the Labor Condition Application " during the interview. Can any one tell me if the photocopy of those documents will do or do I really need to carry the originals (which I don't have)?
Thanks
Manoj
