If you read the rules closely, the employer is attesting to the fact that the job will be readily available at a future date. So as long as the employer issues a letter attesting to this, there is no issue. AC21 is very specific = 180 days not less. So even with a letter from the employer, IF i-485 has not been pending 180 days, you cannot induce AC21 If you do indeed move prior to the six months, make sure you amend your H1B for the necessary changes (eg location)
Confirm with the co lawyer also. Yes, you are right. Always confirm advice with a lawyer
Hope this helps

India develops world's cheapest 'laptop' at $35 - dnaindia.com (http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_india-develops-world-s-cheapest-laptop-at-35_1413493)
New Delhi: India has come up with the world's cheapest laptop, a touch-screen computing device that will cost just $35.
Human resource development minister, Kapil Sibal, this week unveiled the low-cost computing device that is designed for students, saying his department had started talks with global manufacturers to start mass production.
"We have reached a (developmental) stage, that today the motherboard, its chip, its processing, connectivity, all of them cumulatively cost around $35, including memory, display, everything," he told a news conference.
He said the touch-screen gadget was packed with internet browsers, PDF reader and video conferencing facilities, but its hardware was created with sufficient flexibility to incorporate new components according to user requirement.
Sibal said the Linux-based computing device was expected to be introduced to higher education institutions from 2011, but the aim was to drop the price further to $20 and ultimately to $10.
The device was developed by research teams at India's premier technological institutes, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and the Indian Institute of Science.
India spends about three% of its annual budget on school education and has improved its literacy rates to over 64% of its 1.2 billion population, but studies have shown that many students can barely read or write and most state-run schools have inadequate facilities.

looks like the no. of applications are less compared to initial projections. the 300,000 include june, july, aug filers including spouses, kids. also seems the number includes 140 applications, ead, ap.. can't believe if it can be that less including all the above mentioned....

USCIS Filings Surge in July / August 2007
�MurthyDotCom
The CIS Ombudsman shared with teleconference participants his estimate of the number of filings made prior to the August 17th deadline for the submission of I-485s (Applications for Adjustment of Status), under the July 2007 Visa Bulletin. According to his estimation, this number may be close to 200,000 filings. Recent reports in the news media placed the number at about 300,000 filings, due to the priority dates becoming current for most employment-based applicants. It is assumed that this number includes the I-485 filings made by applicants whose priority dates became current in June and July 2007, as well as those of spouses and minor children. It is also assumed that the EAD and Advance Parole (AP) filings are being included in this number, as well as the many I-140s that were filed as part of concurrent I-140/I-485 filings during this period. There may have been a surge in filings unrelated to the June and July Visa Bulletins, as well, which were filed to avoid the substantially increased filing fees that went into effect on July 30, 2007.

This is the only country in the world which experiences this constant and repeated rebirth. Other countries depend upon the multiplication of their own native people. This country is constantly drinking strength out of new sources by the voluntary association with it of great bodies of strong men and forward-looking women out of other lands. And so by the gift of the free will of independent people it is being constantly renewed from generation to generation by the same process by which it was originally created. �.. We came to America, either ourselves or in the persons of our ancestors, to better the ideals of men, to make them see finer things than they had seen before, to get rid of the things that divide and to make sure of the things that unite. It was but an historical accident no doubt that this great country was called the "United States"; yet I am very thankful that it has that word "United" in its title, and the man who seeks to divide man from man, group from group, interest from interest in this great Union is striking at its very heart. ----Woodrow Wilson
Nearly all Americans have ancestors who braved the oceans�liberty-loving risk takers in search of an ideal�the largest voluntary migrations in recorded history. Across the Pacific, across the Atlantic, they came from every point on the compass�many passing beneath the Statue of Liberty�with fear and vision, with sorrow and adventure, fleeing tyranny or terror, seeking haven, and all seeking hope�Immigration is not just a link to America�s past; it�s also a bridge to America�s future. � George H. W. Bush
I received a letter just before I left office from a man. I don�t know why he chose to write it, but I�m glad he did. He wrote that you can go to live in France, but you can�t become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Italy, but you can�t become a German, an Italian. He went through Turkey, Greece, Japan and other countries. But he said anyone, from any corner of the world, can come to live in the United States and become an American. � Ronald Reagan
Our attitude toward immigration reflects our faith in the American ideal. We have always believed it possible for men and women who start at the bottom to rise as far as their talent and energy allow. Neither race nor place of birth should affect their chances. � Robert F. Kennedy
Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists. � Franklin D. Roosevelt
K, who reads and posts to antiimmigrant websites? That's like giving them validation. Anyone on there ain't gonna listen to a word you say.

Birth certificate from Indian consulate is NOT acceptable as primary evidence. You can however submit it as secondary evidence. Primary evidence has to be the actual birth certificate. If that is not available or there are any differences, you should make 2 affidavits from parents or close relatives which basically confirms your actual name as in passport.

Since you have work authorization (EAD), you should apply for SSN. For job application you donot need SSN but once you get a job then your employer might ask yr SSN for background check and afterwards for pay check. Generally it takes 2 weeks to get SSN so it's better to apply in advance.
Refer to http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10002.html#how and check out Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5) under How do I get a number and card? You need to fill out this form.
This form has list of documents you need to get a SSN card. Generally you need to carry your Passport and EAD. They will return all the documents at same time. They won't keep the documents with them and they need all original documents. They donot accept Copies. Hope this helps.

I am in Philadelphia so i would assume Vermont center. Is that a fair assumption, coz i have a previous I-140 and to the best of my knowledge it had gone to the Vermont center back then.
However back in the day there was no premium processing for I-140 so things may have changed :(
Has anyone in the North east USA recently received any approvals from the Vermont center?

Hi All,
My wife was on H1b till few months back. She left her job and is currently on AdjustmentOfStatus. We have received the filing receipts for her Adjustment of Status Application, and her approved EAD as well.
But yet to get back anything on her Advance Parole Application, though we have the filing receipts. She now needs to travel to India due to some family reasons. Is it safe for her to travel without approved Advance Parole?
I have an approved H1b till early 2009 and plan to use same for my travel.
Any pointers on this one?
Thanks
From what you say do you mean your wife now has no current visa status?
If so she has to have advanced parole in hand to travel. She is effectively now on her EAD and AOS combined and neither of these bestows travel privileges.
If however, as other responders have assumed, that your wife is on an H4 now as your dependent then she can go for visa stamping and re enter the US on that visa

They are just mistaking his EAD card for PR card. My EAD was approved on April 27 and the status says
"Card production ordered/Oath Document sent".
It is just misleadig for a lot of people they can misread it as the PR card.

A little update; I was asked to send some of these pictures to Sveriges Ornitologiska F�rening (main ornithological society), and the pics are now on their home page (http://www.sofnet.org) with a short story (http://www.sofnet.org/index.asp?lev=2125&typ=1) . No biggie, they accept user contributions, but flattering just the same. I can now sort of say I've been published! :) Maybe the link to my home page can lead to something (uhh, no pun intended).
You HAVE been published!!! Congratulations!!! And, I noticed that for all the pics on the home page, yours is ...BY FAR....THE BEST!
You just moved up a notch (or two) on that mountain you are climbing. Great Anders!

PJ,
Sorry for the delay in the answer. I have never heard of an import staying with your FLA file after being erased. It sounds like there is an error in Flash. I would recommend contacting our support - support@erain.com.
Here are some tips from my friend Rushvision on keeping file size low:
There are a number of different things you can do to decrease the file size of your exported SWF. Here are the some things for you to try.
Scale your objects down in the Scene Editor
Go to the Layout Page on the Properties Toolbar and decrease the scene size. You are working with vectors, so your images will scale back up very nicely once imported into Flash.
Some objects have settings that allow you to change the number of segments used to create it, such as the torus and the sphere. Decreasing the number of segments will reduce the amount of data that needs to be rendered.
Get rid of any unnecessary bevels. These add considerably to the total number of polygons that make up the objects in your scene.
In the Preview and Export Editor under the General Options, you can set the Detail Level to low.
Setting the slider farther over to Curves will usually result in a slightly smaller file size, but don't expect this one to work miracles.
Experiment with the different Fill Settings. There is no one setting that works best for every situation. Try combining outlines with some of the simpler fill settings to get the greatest amount of detail and the smallest file size. It will often be a compromise on some level.

hi prince,
regarding ur post, there is a correction.
holding an Approval notice alone is NOT a valid reason to bypass the transit visa in germany.
holding a valid visa or Adv parole is good . but not just an appr notice.
thanks
