You can send 2 x 2 photo.. they will cut and make it like a 3.5cm x 3.5cm Or you can use epassportphoto dot com to get yourself a 3.5cm x 3.5cm passport photos for less.
I have to mail my application to cgi houston for my passport renewal. can anyone answer the following:
are they strict regarding the photo size of 3.5cm by 3.5cm?I have few old passport size photos of 2 by 2 inches and am thinking of using them.
Which address (India or US) should I mention in the application form?
Do I have to notarize my H1B approval notice and other documents that I mail to them?
thanks in advance.

Most of people are getting. Your case may have some issues. Or it may be in hand of person who is on week or vacation. Date current means no guarantee that you will get on day 1.
Not TRUE. I see 24 cases got updated out of 154. That is pretty good for 2 days. Nobody can do the work of whole month in day 1 and sti idle for rest of the month.
Friends, don't worry we will see most of approval in coming days.

I recently received my GC and if I need to contribute and bring ppl who will contribute. let me know. We need to look at the long term picture. I waited 10 years to get GC, and now another 5 all this time pay taxes doesnt seem fair.
give me concrete agenda. I am not for amnesty and those illegals are holding our agenda hostage. We need to only focus on piece meal legislation for legal immigrants.

Slumdog, ANOTHER GOOD POST. just my good 2 cents to add for readers...
I posted my experience of last 9 months on your peace of mind blog, and i agree with you on all accounts (on both blogs). But what resonates from your post is, how people could/will/would/shall/should perceive and think....it is the perception of life that is becoming scarier than the life itself.
What rings my mind is, why is being happy all the time so hard? Or, is it again the perception of what should be done to be happy - anyways, below is what stuck my mind after reading yours...
Ultimately at the end and very basis we are human beings and we are allowed to commit mistakes. Each person/individual will have to decide what "mistake", "risk", "issue", "reality" is. For some its thinking through the heart and for some its thinking through the brain. If its heart then its risky and if its mind, its calculated. There are instances when both heart & mind have been right, and also where both have been wrong.
Folks, keep your head high. You have lived so far and will in the future. Dont let a right fly you away and a mistake drop you. It is hard to live a life as-is, and with aspirations dont make it harder. Dream but dont hope.
At least try to be happy, and pray for all the needy and help as much as you can.

... there was a time when it used to be horizontal spillovers. i.e. remaining EB3 from other countries used to go to EB3 I/C/M, and remaining EBx from other countries used to go to EBx I/C/M. (same level to same level)
At that time EB3 I used to get around ~15K-20K, from other countries. Then all of a sudden USCIS started vertical spillover, i.e. any remaining numbers from other countries no matter what EBx, will go to EB1 I/C/M and then fall to EB2 I/C/M and then to EB3 I/C/M.
This way EB3-I gets nothing as everything is consumed at EB2-I level.
If there is a way to get USCIS to start horizontal spillover again, then things can get OK, as USCIS does not need any law change, or any legislation change for this policy.
This is incorrect. EB3 spillovers would come only to EB3 over subscribed countries. It will not goto EB1 or Eb2... But the chance of EB-3 ROW becoming current is almost next to impossible. That is why EB3-I need to depend on spillover from EB2....Since most are applying in Eb2 now, chance of EB2-I becoming current is slim....Thats why Eb3-I is between devil and deep sea.

yes, it is from AILA, very likely to be true:
(ZZ)
AILA National
Sent: Friday, June 29, 2007 3:31 PM
Subject: Update on July Visa Availability
We are hearing from multiple sources that, on Monday or Tuesday of next week
, State Department plans to issue a revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007.
This revised Bulletin would retrogress some or all of the employment-based
categories, very likely to the point of unavailable. Reports from AILA
members about unusual levels and types of activities by USCIS indicate a
particular push to adjudicate employment-based adjustments currently in the
pipeline so as to exhaust visa numbers for fiscal year 2007.
This follows the actions of USCIS in June, when it began rejecting EB-3 "
Other Worker" adjustment applications even though the Visa Bulletin showed
an October 2001 cut-off date, on the basis that the "Other Worker" numbers
for the year had been exhausted.
For more information on this situation, see InfoNet document #07062770: http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22767

I have emailed, requesting my local congressman to give me an appointment. I have also asked him if he will support, co-sponsor or vote for the bill.
Great job. Its generally better to call them and ask to speak to the immigrant or legislative secretary. Senators may receive close to 10,000 emails a day.
It is highly unlikely the Senator or congressman/woman will actually meet you, which every one seems to be afraid of.
The one you will meet will be their assistant (immigration), and they are just normal people and generally friendly. The appointment would be with them in most cases.
This secretary is quite important and gathers notes from meetings with different people like you, to decide the agenda, based on what people in the district want. They will advice the law maker on voting on bills, because what their local people want matters a lot to them. Thats why it is important to maintain a ongoing relation with them and keep reminding them of our position, especially EB queue.
Another thing to remember is they won't take much effort for a single immigrant, and we need to inform we are part of Immigration voice and you represent a few hundred thousand immigrants.
When you actually get the appointment, please contact user 'StarSun' who will give you material for the appointment.

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
I truely feel your pain but I don't quite understand what you say about declining PERM to hold your place in the line. As far as I know and correct me if I am wrong, doesn't PERM has the option of porting the PD from an existing and pending labor petition?
Again please don't misunderstand me. I am not trying to lecture you. But please look in to that option.

I dont know if a pepper spray and a cell phone would help if a Cayote or a Mountain Lion stand in front of someone while walking/running alone..knock on wood...that is not unusaul in So.Cal. The best way to address security concerns is to walk in groups or walk in a slightly busier area.
I have been swimming and strength training for quite some time now and have started kettle bells and Taek Won Do this year. I do see a lot of women working out. All I am saying is that these forums have a lower proportion of females.......pure statistics.
And yes; there are a lot of females working out and the ones who do take up martial arts are more serious than the guys. However the most common excuse cited by the ones who hesitate to take up running/walking, is security. I am trying to get the ones who are not working out to get out; the ones who are; have a lot of tenacity.
.............BTW, be nice to me. By the time you come to DC to run the race, I might have my brown belt :)

All,
My lawyer received the following RFE during premium process of my PERM I-140 application.
===Here is the text from original RFE========
Submit evidence that alien obtained a true 4 years bachelor degree in Computer Science, Engineering, MIS, Math or Equivalent. Evidence of education must be in form of an official diploma, record/transcript showing all dates of attendance, area of concentration of study, and date of degree award, if any. The evidence submitted shows that the alien completed a three year Bachelor in Science Degree in India
===========
fyi: I have 3 years of B.Sc and 2 Years of Post Graduate Diploma in MIS from India.
Let me know if anyone here has received thia kind of RFE and what could be the best next step to overcome this RFE.
Thanks,

That's not correct. There is big difference between h1B annd GC and it is not for 10 years. it is for ever unless you don't fulfill some conditions.
GC is given for a period of 10 years and not for ever.
