Thanks to everyone for the advice. Here's my situation:
Yes, Mats, it jiggles when I adjust the camera. Bracketing should help some, but my understanding of the HDR process is that you want to get a range of exposures from almost black to totally blown out. My camera will bracket through three exposures, one stop on each side of the setting. That doesn't typically get the span that is recommended for the HDR thing in Photoshop CS2, so I'm still looking at touching and adjusting the camera.
The camera is really just a point and shoot, a Minolta Z3. There are no available shutter release cables, remote controls, or other accessories for remote operation of it. However, my next camera....! ;)
Lastly, the tripod is a $30 wal-mart model. It isn't really so wobbly in the legs, but the main mast of it, where I mount the camera, rotates freely through about a 3 - 4 degree range horizontally. This is due to play in the cheap, plastic parts on it. My short term work around for that is probably to jam juicy fruit gum into the gaps or something.
All of this equipment that I bought was for me to learn the basics on, and I am doing a lot of learning these days. So, there again, my next tripod.... ;)

Thanks.
Now something that had been on top of my mind for long. Does anyone know how to make Google include subjective interpretation to search query? I will elaborate ...
Say you want to search for all the work been done or being done on say "teapot". Normally you type in "teapot" in search bar and Google will dump millions of results. And those results would be screened objectively based on the search query i.e. "teapot". But interestingly, "kettle" is also a synomous for "teapot" but since the search was objectively driven, this subjective association would be excluded. This is just an example, I framed to explain my point.
A quick answer to above would be to include any synomous words, but we all know in techonological world and especially in the IP area, their could numerous ways to hid the information while maintaining it on public forums. If you have been engaged in IP development, you will understand what I am talking about.

I E-filed my EAD application and sent the supporting documentation to the location on the confirmation page. To day I see the following notice:
"We attempted to deliver your item at 1:51 PM on June 11, 2008 in MESQUITE, TX 75185 and a notice was left. It can be redelivered or picked up at the Post Office. If the item is unclaimed, it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later."
Is there something I can do to resolve this?
I sent the application to the following address:

MESQUITE, TX 75185
Dont worry that is the common message for USCIS PO Box...Your mail will be @USCIS

All
I believe there are many physicians who are facing this question regarding H1b visa status. I hope this thread will help many resident physicians.
I am in final year of residency, on H1b visa (cap-exempt). I am looking for jobs and most of the H1b sponsoring employers are being subjected to cap (apparently due to stricter USCIS rules). If I fall in "under cap" category I will be able to start from Oct 1 2011. This creates problem for most resident physicians as they finish training at the end of June (as this is when their H1b expires).
So my questions is (with possible solutions that I have gathered so far, please advise me if these are true)...
Q. 1 What will I do from the end of my residency (i.e. July) till I start next job (i.e. Oct)?
OPTION 1: Request current residency program to extend your residency status by giving you full/part time Chief-resident/research fellow or similar type of status. but using this way means your training license will have to be extended as well.
Does that mean a new H1b application will need to be filed (which may be quite expensive for 3 months of stay, considering attorney fee, premium processing fee etc)?
Yes.
OPTION 2: Ask your future employer (cap subject) to show your starting date few days before your current H1b expiration date. This way your future employment will NOT fall in the cap-category. I gathered it from somewhere on this website though I doubt it will work.
Source- http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/attachments/forum6-non-immigrant-visas/382d1292767900-portability-of-cap-exempt-h1b-to-cap-subjected-h1b-uscis-memo-on-cap-exempt-to-cap-subject-2.pdf
This is not true. A cap-subject employer will always need an H1-B that is counted against the cap before you can start working for them.
OPTION 3: If you already have multiple entry visitors visa (B2) you may change visa status to B2. So when your H1b expires B2 kicks in. That way you can legally stay in the US (and sit for ABIM board exam). Havnt found any document to support if it is allowed and how easy this switch is. Heard from "friend of friend".
There is no automatic "switch". Your status inside US is determined by I-94 form. You would need to request USCIS for change of status to B2 VISA. You do not need a B2 VISA stamp on your passport for the change of status provided USCIS grants it.
OPTION 4: Go back to your home country for 3 months and come back before starting job. question is if this will cause any problem in coming back or any other legal issue.
This is the preferable option.
OPTION 5: If you have applied for ABIM board you may be allowed to stay till your board (mid-August). Though I have heard its true only for J1 holders. If it does work for H1 holders how does this process work?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Unfortunatley Dems have not shown much zeal which conveys that Immigration Reform is one of their important agenda.
That is my point. House majority leader listed the priorities and immigration is not there. If immigration is not taken up in early-mid '07 it will be difficult to bring it up later � it will be presidential primary season and all candidates will try to position themselves to garner maximum party �base� votes. CIR is controversial to say the least and politicians may skip it to avoid any controversy. Our best bet was SKIL bill; in the new congress it has to be re-introduced and discussed. May not be possible - especially if there is a proposal to bring back CIR. Currently our best bet may be some interim measures during Jan-Feb when appropriation are taken up again (BTW is this right? Does appropriations are extended only until Feb 15th there will be similar bills before that? Can immigration related aspects can be attached to one such if possible).

On reading my last post again, I don't think it is very clear. Let me try to explain again. When my wife comes back into the country, she needs to get a new I-94 at the port of entry. One of my friends mentioned that there is a possibility that the officer could mistakenly stamp the date on the new I-94 card as the same as on my wife's visa stamping (Dec 2007 as per my prior employer). In order to avoid this, should my wife pre-emptively submit her passport as well as transferred I-797 and I-539 and request the officer to stamp the new dates on the I-94 (Dec 2009)? Please advise.

Hi Guys,
Need some help. I have labor via PERM(EB2) and I-140 from my present employer. Labor was filed in December 2005. I had applied for Labor by RIR in Sep 2002 from my previous company which closed down in 2004. The old company's attorney has contacted me that the labor is approved. That labor was under EB3.
Both companies are engaged in similar operation, job profile now is more than previous company and both companies are in the same demographic area. Can I port my PD and retain EB2. If I can do that I can file I-485 now.
Any advice will be greately appriciated.:confused: :confused: :confused:

I was wondering if we could have on this site some reliable information about the most important aspects of GC processing. People are posting a lot all the time and asking the same things all over again, and while many answers are pertinent, we must realize not everyone knows the laws and rules.Not to mention how much time it takes to search the threads and find what you want to know. If there was a place where they could lookup the information they need and this information would be provided by knowledgeable persons, like admins or moderators, not other members, maybe we could avoid having so many threads and posts.I understand that would involve some effort, but in the end there would not be so much need to go thru all the posts and make sure people are not misleading others or create panic.
Of course, this is stil a forum and it's only natural to have people expressing themselves, but maybe in that situation they would not have to post so much and use the space on the servers.
Thank you
And please dont tie even this post again asking him to contribute. Contribution is a different issue. Atleast there are some other things that doesn't need financial contribution but organizational contribution.

Thanks Snathan this will be the best. Problem I am facing is that no one is willing to start GC process unless I join them and they start making money to offset the costs. Can you suggest someone who can help?
1. If you stick to your current company, you might make money for few months but you are loosing all that extra cushion i.e. you need time for h1 transfer and applying for labor.
2. If you don't trust and join the new company why would they trust you
3. Body shoppers have mutual interest. They do it for money. They would not start your GC process unless you join them
4. As Snathan said, by the time you file your h1 and get it transfered it will take time. so why not do it.
5. If you want your GC process take risk.
6. Money is not always the crietria. Go gain some thing you need to loose something.
I wish you both good luck on finding your new employer and filing GC.
Play safe.

My wife will be coming back in April 2nd week through Denver. CO POE. Her AP is valid until June 3rd week.
My question is that is 2 months of AP validity / cushion enough or safe to enter the US.
Any experiences from forum members about using their AP when there is 2 months or less left in the expiry of the AP document and they entered the US. Did anyone have any bad experience at POE due to near expiry of the AP. Members entered through Denver, CO POE with their experiences would be an added help.
Thanks in advance for all your time.
Used NY POE. Arrived on July 5th with expiring AP on Sept 9th. No problems.
