Which state are you in? In CA you can drive till one year with foreign license. In case there is a traffic violation , or for some reason he breaks a red light the fines are 3 times the regular fine since he wont hold a USA license.
Also the insurance companies have different requirements which you need to confirm with them.

I wasn't able to create a new thread so would like to post.
I have future GC filed from Company X, the priority date is February 2006.
I am currently working for Company Y on H1B. This H1B will expire in April 2009. Company Y is also ready to file my GC and I would like to work with Company Y till by future GC is approved, my question is
If I have already filed for 485, EAD and AP through Company X, scenario will it be advisable to file another labour and I-140 through Company Y now?
What could be the implications?

F-1 OPT with H1B Pending Now Wants 17-Month OPT Extension
�MurthyDotCom
Yet another variation that occurs involves F-1 students who have job offers. The prospective employer of an F-1 student normally has filed an H1B petition requesting a change of status for that F-1 student. The parties now want to take advantage of the April 2008 option announced by the USCIS to utilize the possible 17-month OPT extension provision. The employer needs to withdraw the H1B petition in order for the student to continue in F-1 status. Once the status is changed from F-1 to H1B, the individual would no longer be able to extend the OPT period, even if the H1B petition is approved for the future start date of employment. However, before withdrawing the potentially very valuable H1B petition, it is best to discuss the advantages and disadvantages with a qualified immigration attorney.
In your case you never started your H1 status. So you should be eligible for applying an OPT extension, which should give you ample time for next lottery.
I am no lawyer, you should check with a good immigration attorney about this.

Mine rec date is july 2nd and notice date july 27th. Have got EAD, but not AP yet. Though I noticed two LUDs on my AP, 10/24 and 10/25
I received mine on Nov 3 and my ND is Sep 8.The surprising thing is my AP was approved & mailed out on Oct 31 based on LUD whereas on the AP it is Oct 10 (expires on Oct 9,2008 )which means I received the AP for 11 months and not for a yr.
See my signature for more details.

I just realized that I didn't explain what HDR is- The idea is to take a series of more or less 10 photos with different shuttle speeds and then composite them into one unique image that will capture all the light effect due of the high range of the natural light.
The exposure range of a modern digital camera is about 5 stops, or a range of 32 times more light in the lighter than in the darkest region. If you take one shot at -2 and one at +2, you've extended the range by 4 stops in total. This will give 9 stops, 512 times more light in the lightest part than in the darkest part. This is A LOT of range. You could extend this to three stops either direction, and get 11 stops range, which is about 2000 times more light in the lightest region than in the darkest.
If we assume that you start out at 1/125 f=8, then the 3 stops would give you:
1/15 f=8 +3
1/125 f=8 0
1/1000 f=8 -3
1/15 f=8 is about the right for a relativley dimly lit indoors scene, 1/1000 f=8 is good for outdoors.
I'm not sure exactly what you're after in this, but I would think that would be sufficient for most purposes. If it's not, can you explain under what circumstances you're (planning on) taking these photos?
Also, note that the range for a normal PC's display is about 10 bits, or 1024 levels (in the DA converter that converts the digital value to a "light value" on the way to becoming a bunch of electrons hitting a flourescent media [Plasma panel/CRT displays], or on the way to being a LCD-cel [in a LCD panel]l set to a certain level of darkness).

Hi All,
I have a question regarding the status check of the 485 process. Does USCIS change the Updated date (maybe a soft LUD) before approval/completion of processing of 485 on the Case Status.
I know its a yes/no/maybe not always kinda answer but I wanted to check with those who already had approved 485s if they had noticed updates before the Approval. If yes, what is the usual timeframe after the update when the approval has been noticed.
I am sure, like me :) you must have kept checking the Case Status page like crazy once the dates were current so, please respond and I am sure many will benefit from your responses.
I am sure, many of you who are still waiting like me,already have friends who went thru this process, so, even your inputs are welcome.
Thanks,
Amar.
In my case, it did not. The I-485 application status changed directly to "Approval notice sent". Then next day I got "Card production ordered" and after that "Welcome notice sent".

The USCIS PDF for I-693 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-693.pdf) says "OMB No. 1615-0033; Expires 06/30/07" at the top of the form. At the bottom it says "Form I-693 (Rev. 09/16/05) Y". Will we be able to submit this form if we get the medical exam done now and file it with the I-485 on July 1 or later?
I found another version of the PDF which says "OMB No. 1615-0064; Expires 05/31/08" at the top and "Form I-693 (Rev. 09/16/05) N" at the bottom. I've only found this at these sites:
http://immigrationadvice.net/I-693.pdf
http://www.lexisnexis.com/practiceareas/immigration/pdfs/web895.pdf
But I'm not sure which one should be used because of the upcoming expiry date on the one from uscis.gov, versus the one with the later expiry date on these other sites. Does this expiry date matter?
I'm going to my medical exam in 1 1/2 hours -- if anyone can post a response before then, that'd be much appreciated!
I don't know if the doctor will use my copy or provide a copy. Is it a problem if the doctor provides and uses the older form?

By theoritical no problem, if you have credits equal to US bachelors and masters degrees.
But in practical, USCIS now denying I-140 for 3 year degree holders, even the job requires masters. Try EB3 also. (Good luck).
My perm was approved a couple of weeks back and we are going to file the 140 pretty soon. In the mean while I had a question regarding the educational equivalency issue I see during this stage. The perm is for EB-2 which requires a Masters Degree( Foreign Degree acceptable). I've a Bachelors from UK which is 3 years and a Masters from UK which is 1 year. During the I-140 process will there be a problem coz of this. Do we have to submit the Bachelors degree information even though the requirement is for a Masters?
Thanks for any input.

I was also taken aback initially when I read this. The 8 year wait doesnt apply to title 5. Title 5 already is designed to clear the backlog of EB immigration from 6 years to 0/at best minimum since quota is increased and there are exemptions. The 8 year backlog refers to family based.

Unfortunately, your entry doesn't qualify because you are using box2d :(
Really cool entry though!
Kirupa,
Any chance you could change your mind about this entry being disqualified?
I've just re-read the official rules (http://www.kirupa.com/contests/index.htm) and nowhere does it say: "Don't use external libraries".
I only suspected I might be in trouble after finishing the entry, when I read the guidelines thread.
It doesn't seem fair that I've been disqualified over a rule that isn't actually in the rules.
The situation sort of reminds me of 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' where the Earth was destroyed because no one bothered to check the bulletin board on another planet.
Thanks,
Enebreus

What will be my options to maintain my immigration status in the following scenario:
AC21 is not filed after joining the new employer (new job since 2 months).
If the previous employer revoked the I-140.
Have the same job/role and responsibilities with my new employer.
No gap between previous and new current employer.
Status of I-140 remains approved and I-485 remains pending in USCIS website.
Should I proceed AC21 filing immediately? Is there anything need to be done in order to keep the immigration status legal?
I would really appreciate your valuable suggestions.
Thank you

U.S. Seeks to Curb Illegal ImmigrationBy SUZANNE GAMBOA 08.10.07, 1:34 PM ET
WASHINGTON - A crackdown on illegal immigration will have to go forward without help from Congress, the Bush administration said Friday, asserting that an executive-branch-only approach is better than doing nothing.
Two Cabinet secretaries - Homeland Security's Michael Chertoff and Commerce's Carlos Gutierrez - said they had hoped to have new tools to combat illegal immigration before moving further to cope with the problem. But Congress could not agree on comprehensive legislation.
The officials said they'll rely instead on tools already in their arsenal, some of which are already under way, including a plan to administratively sanction employers who hire illegal immigrants.
At a joint news conference, Chertoff and Gutierrez put the onus on Congress for any consequences that may be suffered by employers as a result of the stepped-up enforcement effort.
"Our hope is that key elements of the Senate bill will see the light of day someday, but until Congress chooses to act we are going to be taking some energetic steps of our own," Chertoff said. The steps will "significantly strengthen our hand with respect to immigration enforcement."
The White House emphasized that its package of enforcement changes was all it could do under existing law - the same law that President Bush has repeatedly called unacceptable.
"Although the Congress has not addressed our broken immigration system by passing comprehensive reform legislation, my administration will continue to take every possible step to build upon the progress already made," Bush said as the changes were announced.
Presidential spokeswoman Dana Perino said Bush has used his executive authority in the past to improve immigration enforcement, such as by strengthening border enforcement. She was pressed on why - if the new changes were such a good idea - Bush hadn't made them already.
Perino, talking to reporters at the Kennebunkport, Maine, seaside home of Bush's father, George H.W. Bush, said the president held off on sweeping administrative action while pushing Congress to pass better legislation to address the matter. With that effort now sidelined, she said "We're going as far as we possibly can without Congress acting."
The administration rolled out a proposed rule that will require employers to fire employees unable to clear up problems with their Social Security numbers 90 days after they've been notified of such discrepancies in so-called "no match letters." Employers who fail to comply will face possible criminal fines and sanctions.
"This regulation lays out a clear pattern for doing the right thing which will afford protection for employers," Chertoff said. The new rule will be effective in 30 days.
Recognizing that the crackdown could hurt some industries - particularly agriculture, where more than half of workers are believed to be undocumented - Gutierrez said the Labor Department will try to make existing temporary seasonal agriculture worker and non-agriculture worker programs easier to use and more efficient.
In addition, Chertoff said he will try to use the department's regulatory authority to raise fines on employers by about 25 percent. Current fines are so modest that some companies consider them a cost of doing business, the agency said in a summary of the new enforcement effort.
The administration also wants to expand the list of international gangs whose members are automatically denied admission to the U.S., reduce processing times for immigrant background checks, and install by the end of the year an exit system so the departure of foreigners from the country can be recorded at airports and seaports.
The Homeland Security Department will ask states to voluntarily share their driver's license photos and records with the agency for use in an employment verification system. The sharing is meant to help employers detect fraudulent licenses.
Some of the initiatives are similar to proposals contained in the recent immigration measure which failed to pass in the Senate, though they are not nearly as sweeping.
....
....
....
He said the billions of dollars that Congress added for immigration enforcement and the administration's "enhanced commitment" on immigration enforcement will secure borders.
But Sen. Chuck Grassley, ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said the administration "can talk until they're blue in the face" but "I won't be happy until I see action that's more than just a press conference and words on a piece of paper."
The Senate legislation was opposed by many conservatives who complained that people don't trust their government to start new immigration programs since existing immigration laws are not enforced.
....
....
....
Some lawmakers have kept up efforts to tighten the border. Last month, the Senate added $3 billion to a homeland security bill and devoted the money to U.S.-Mexico border security.

The administration also wants to expand the list of international gangs whose members are automatically denied admission to the U.S., reduce processing times for immigrant background checks, and install by the end of the year an exit system so the departure of foreigners from the country can be recorded at airports and seaports.
The Homeland Security Department will ask states to voluntarily share their driver's license photos and records with the agency for use in an employment verification system. The sharing is meant to help employers detect fraudulent licenses.
Some of the initiatives are similar to proposals contained in the recent immigration measure which failed to pass in the Senate, though they are not nearly as sweeping.

He said the billions of dollars that Congress added for immigration enforcement and the administration's "enhanced commitment" on immigration enforcement will secure borders.
But Sen. Chuck Grassley, ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said the administration "can talk until they're blue in the face" but "I won't be happy until I see action that's more than just a press conference and words on a piece of paper."
The Senate legislation was opposed by many conservatives who complained that people don't trust their government to start new immigration programs since existing immigration laws are not enforced.

Some lawmakers have kept up efforts to tighten the border. Last month, the Senate added $3 billion to a homeland security bill and devoted the money to U.S.-Mexico border security.

my lawyer mentioned that I-140 PPS will come back after Texas and Nebraska have finish receipting the flood of I485 applications.
In a AILA meeting USCIS raised concerns about their ability to process the cases in 15 days and their concern is that they don't know how many applications they'll receive for I-140 PPS.
my lawyer mentioned its free money for these guys and they will bring it back. USICS still hasn't withdrawn PPS for I-129 or I-539 applications. They use the same freaking resources except now that they are using those resources to receipt for the new I-485 applications.
have patience.
Based on the information you know about immigration and discsion u have been having with frinds ,attorneys, websites..etc. What do you think about the probability of I-140 premium starting date...!!!
I guess 485 getting current does not help much without getting i-140 approved.

My Employer is paying for my Family GC Expenses (Myself, Wife, and Daughter). I have been working for him for the last 3 years. At the time of Filing my Labor, I have signed a letter (Just a letter on Company Letter Head) and faxed him the copy and the Original is with me. The letter says I have to pay back all the expenses for my GC if I leave the Employer before my GC approval time + 6 months.
My priority date is July 2006 in EB3 and 485 was filed on July 3rd. Based on the current trend it might take another 4 to 5 years to get my GC. My employer pays me very less and is not willing to give any hike in near future.
After 180 days (AC21), I want to change my employer. In the above scenario, can my present Employer sue me if I leave him? Please suggest�
Thanks in advance,
Ashok...
