H-1B visas are work visas that allow foreign nationals to temporarily work in the United States for a U.S. employer. A U.S. employer may petition a foreign national under the H-1B classification which specifically applies to individuals in a “specialty occupation." A specialty occupation has three requirements. First, an individual must have a bachelor’s degree or higher degree or its equivalent for the particular position. Second, the degree must be common in the industry among similar organizations. Third, the employer must normally require a degree or equivalent; or the nature of the specific duties is so specialized and complex that knowledge required to perform the duties is usually associated with attainment of the degree.
Individuals with H-1B visas are allowed to work in the United States for up to six years, but visas are granted in three-year increments. In some cases, the H-1B visas may be extended for more than six years. If the individual is in the United States, a change of status to an H-1B is filed in the United States. If the individual is outside the United States, upon approval of the petition, the individual must apply for an H-1B visa at the U.S. consulate. There are only 65,000 H-1B visas issued per year.
The beginning of the fiscal year for 2010 is October 1, 2009. Employers may begin filing their petitions six months prior to the start date of employment but the individuals cannot start their jobs until October 1.
It is vital for those individuals wishing to work in the United States to begin preparing their H-1B paperwork before the cap is reached. As of August 7, 2009, approximately 44,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been received by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and counted towards the cap. Please call us at 214-999-9999 if you would like to begin the H-1B process. The H-1B cap-subject count is available at the USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov).

I believe you pay 10% penalty if you withdraw before retirement age, irrespective of whether you reside in the US at time of withdrawal.
However, note that it *might* be possible to save on taxes because you might have very little other US income in the year you withdraw. One dependency here is what tax laws and treaties your home country has on foreign income.

I took this really lousy picture that should have been discarded
as I couldn't get a good photo out of it. I thought I'd try something
different in Photoshop anyway, I need the practice...
Here's a scaled down original of a bird taking a bath:

and here's a watercolor like effect that was the result:

What do you say, is this convincing, and worth pursuing?

Hello EliteG000,
Unless the animation is created in another application such as illustrator, the files size for anything created within Swift such as text, squares, etc. take up a lot of space. But when I do use 3D in Flash (I don't use 3D all that much), I use Swift 3d.
When I publish the Swift 3D SWF file and import it into Flash, I often delete a keyframe from the animation every 2 or 3 frames. Each keyframe in a Swift animation is about 3-8KB each. For a fairly large 3d Shape that is being rotated, the file size could balloon even more. Anyway, deleting a few random frames does not degrade too much from the animation.
To help reduce the file size, I also select each frame of the Swift animation in Flash, and press the Smooth or Straighten buttons. That helps remove some of the extraneous artifacts that might degrade the look of the animation as well as take up a lot of space. I also Optimize the animation by removing extra curves, etc. by going to Modify | Optimize. Optimize is similar to using the Smooth and Straighten icons at times!

My wife last time entered to US with H4 in June 2010. Then she applied for F1 status and got approved in Nov 2010.
H4 visa stamping Expires on Feb 20111.
She is planning to go India by Jan 2011 for 2 weeks. She is planning to come before Visa expires.
Is it possible to enter US with old H4 visa stamping?
Do we really need to stamp visa with F1?

H-1B Quota is still available for all employers. Employers who have not yet proceeded with new H-1B filing can go ahead now too as per their business requirements. After many years since the Cap of H-1B started, it is still available even after Sept. 30, 2009. As of this writing, there are still H1B cap numbers available, both in the advanced-degree and regular H1B quotas. This means that H1B petitions can still be filed for fiscal year 2010. These filings can continue, as long as the cap numbers are available.
We like to share that H-1B petitions can be filed throughout FY10, until the cap numbers are all depleted. Petition filed under the 2010 Cap after October 1, 2009, the start date of work requested can be immediate. Since October 1, 2009 has already passed, and the H-1B numbers are still available, filings may request an immediate validity date. Like earlier, the start date for H-1B work can be as much as six months in the future, depending upon the needs of an employer. Usually one has to start the H-1B Cap process 6 months in advance of the requested start of employment, employers were all doing so in order to increase their chances of obtaining one of the limited cap numbers. Thus, cases were filed at the beginning of April, requesting an October 1st start date. However, we are now beyond October 1st, and Cap numbers remain available, it is possible to pick a more desirable start date, ranging from immediate to six months in the future.
There is not much progress in cases filed in FY 2010 quota yet. However, there is sharp increase in filings. The regular cap increased by 1600 cases between the end of August and the end of September, for a total of 46,700 as of September 25, 2009. This reflects a higher rate of filings than in the prior few months which may be due to re-filings and fresh filing as per upcoming requirements. We will keep you posted on further developments.

Guys,
Does anybody here got a rejection becuase of the incorrect filling fee?
If so can you share the message on the lette which was received along with the rejected application.
I have received a rejection letter for my spouse with the following message in it.
"The above application or petition, along with any check or other form of fee payment, is attached. The application or petition cannot be accepted because the proper fee of $1010.00 U.S is not attached. Since the case is not properly filed, a priority or processing date cannot be assigned.
Please attach a check or money order for this amount and resubmit this entire package to the address listed below. To speed processing, please leave this notice on top."
Can anyone confirm with me if they got the same message for incorrect filing fee? The message is very ambigious if the filling was incorrect or they did not find the filing fee attached with the application.
Please reply to this posting with the message they received for rejection of their application or if anybody has any information on this.
Thanks,
GC_DREAMER_485

Does anyone know if you can file for I-485 on a B1/B2 or do you need to have an H4 status?
It seems to me, you are on a B1/B2 and are contemplating a marriage to a "485 current" green card benfeciary...and subsequently filing the 485 jointly with your would be other half...
The intention in a B class visa is very weak and its purpose very limited. It is best to not do anything while on the B visa, and relinquish the B status, then either re-enter on a stronger intent visa (H1/H4 or L1) and then file 485 or file the 485 from outside the country.
Any change of status from a B class visa is usually looked upon with a frown by the USCIS...
Even if you are not contemplating a marriage, but are already married for long but just happen to be in the US on a B Class visa, it is best to reliquish your B status, before doing anyting...

Hotel News Now, a leading Global Hospitality publication, ran a two-part series about staffing challenges facing the U.S. hotel industry. I was honored to be interviewed by the publication and share my insights on the problems facing hospitality employer in these challenging times.
With the level of unemployment about 8.5 percent, why do hotels still need foreign workers? There are various reasons, from location to the attitudes of American workers. And changes in schedules and lifestyle have affected one of the former staples of summer work�students.
The situation is bad for staffing professionals in the industry, said Jacob Sapochnick, a San Diego, California-based lawyer whose practice is devoted to immigration law. �Even though they can hire local people, they can never rely on them for the full term,� he said. �If you have a large hotel, need 50 housekeepers and hire locally, the turnover is very high. They find a better job or one that pays more. When you have H-2B workers, they know they have them for 10 months. Their visa depends on them working at that hotel.�
The more turnover, the less likely the hotel will function properly, Sapochnick said.

1. If my father applies for GC for me under F2B can it be converted to F1 when he becomes citizen?
YES
if so, will the priority date be same or it will be new once converted to F1 category.
IT WILL STAY THE SAME.
2. Can I apply for both family based and employment based in parallel?
YES, THIS IS COMMON.
if it is not possible which path should I select? Will the employment based GC will be faster of family based?
