In Wake of Immigration Law, Calls for an Economic Boycott of Arizona - NYTimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/27/us/27arizona.html?ref=us)
La Opini�n, the nation�s largest Spanish-language newspaper, urged a boycott in an editorial Monday, as did the Rev. Al Sharpton, and calls for such action spread to social media sites. The San Francisco city attorney and members of the Board of Supervisors said they would propose that the city not do business with the state.
They followed the lead of Representative Ra�l M. Grijalva, Democrat of Arizona, who had urged conventions to skip the state, though other Democrats who oppose the law, including Mayor Phil Gordon of Phoenix, pleaded for people not to punish the entire state.
Tourism and convention managers, struggling to rebound from the recession, said it was too soon to tell if the effort would have an impact, but some businesses said people were turning away from the state.
At the Arizona Inn in Tucson, the manager, Will Conroy, said that over the weekend 12 customers canceled reservations or said they would not return to the state because of the law.
Tourism officials said such accounts were not widespread, but they were concerned that the rancor was tarnishing the state�s image and were mindful of the boycott in the 1980s that led to Arizona�s officially observing Martin Luther King�s Birthday after initially rejecting it as a holiday.

oi antonio, tudo bem? brasil vs. croatia hoje... muito facil para os brasileiros :)
a couple of comments. i agree with el hacko and jliechty that the front strawberry should be the one in focus. the ones that are in focus are not special and you can't see the entire berry so there is no compelling reason to focus on them. at least the one in the front is whole and big.
you might also want to 'soften' the light and eliminate the hot spots (overexposed) that are on the fruit. there should be more pretty color where you see white. you can use bounce flash or a diffuser to accomplish this and still get the bright look.
adding more attractive texture to the strawberries might be accomplished with some water droplets, especially on the leaves which look kind of dry.
food photography is one of the hardest disciplines but you're doing a great job.

Thanks for quick reply.
As of now, my friend is getting trained by local institutes in other IT realted field and searching for job. If things go well he might get a project in a month or so.
Q.Till he gets a project what risk does he have to his status?
Q.If he gets a project will everything be ok?
Pls advise
Thank you.
1. If he is in H1B and not getting salary its out of status.
2. As long as there is no investigation or in the GC process or next time stamping - if there is no RFE or the IO is not asking for the pay stub, W2 he is fine.
3. If they ask pay stub or tax statement while stamping or gc process he will be in trouble

I work in a private firm (<300 employees) and they have filed for PERM and is under audit. What would happen to my PERM if a bigger firm takes over my smaller company.
My H1-B 6 yr limit will expire by January 2010. What are the risks to my immigration status if my company is acquired by a bigger firm?
1. Will I have to re-file for PERM again with the new company?
OR
2. Can I continue under the already audited PERM in smaller company's name?
As long as the successor company wants you to continue with them , you have no problem. You can ask your attorney to send details about acquisition if there is any RFE and you are safe.
But you should really try to find out, if the future company would like to support your PERM, because that is more important - company support.
All the best.

The most important point to be noted here is:
The job / position should demand a person with Master degree or a Bachelor's degree with more than 5 yrs experience in order to quality for EB2.
Not just having a Master degree or Bachelor's plus 5 yrs experience is gonna help.
So there are a lot of things to be looked at else u will be denied a EB2 labor.

Hi All,
My previous I-140 was denied due to the ability to pay issue since company was in loss and Idid not get prevailing wage since PD.I have appealed it hoping I can extend my h1 beyond 6th year.Is it true?
Also, Now we have pre approved labor with lower in same company where I can satisfy by showing W-2 to prove the ability to pay. Now If I am planning to apply another I-140 with labor sub,
would it matter to the new I-140 appllication if the previous I-140 was denied and is being currently appealed? Because in the I-140 form there is a question ,
"Has any Immigrant visa petition been filed by or on this person?"
Should I say "YES", Right? and also give the detail of previous filing????
Also How does USCIS verify the W2?BY contacting the IRS or ?
Please suggest?
Thanks

:confused: But the dates having moved beyond the April 2000 deadline ( may be temporarily), why should they not move fast when the VB was current for a long time and there should not be many cases after April 2000 those were not adjudicated. So I feel if the dates don't retrogress then they should move forward faster.

Andrew Sullivan, uber-blogger and one of the country's most influential political pundits warns that our paralyzed immigration system is at a point where it is harming our economic security: The legal immigration system - the same one that has kept me in limbo for a quarter of a century - is reaching a breaking point. Skilled immigrants are returning home to the more fertile opportunities in China and India because America makes it almost impossible for talented immigrants to move here: "What was a trickle has become a flood," says Duke University's Vivek Wadhwa, who studies reverse immigration.

Hi,
My wife and I applied for the AOS (I-485, EAD and AP for my wife and I-485 for me). I was wondering
1. As to who will receive the receipt number? Will my attornery receive it or will I receive it?
Ans> If you attorney sent the app he will receive RN. I will receive ( if it at all comes ) at my home because i didn't hire an attorney.
2. Will it be a letter or an email from USCIS?
Ans > Letter in USPS mail.
3. I am the primary applicant. My wife may be offered a permanent position with the company she is working for on a consultant basis. Now the question is - Can she take the offer before her EAD is approved? I mean to say - Can she transfer her H1B processed for the company? Will she have any problem with the AOS application as her paper work (new I797) is changing? We are very confused with this.
Ans > If she has an valid H1B let her take the new offer by transferring H1B( if that company does H1B transfer) . EAD can be kept in lockers.
As long as she sent the latest I-797 when the AOS was applied that should be fine. Worst case USCIS may ask the new I-797 in an RFE.
Really appreciate your answers!
Thank you very much!

AFAIK they dont know unless USCIS issues an RFE for tax returns. What was her status before she filed her 485?
Also why are you concerned whether they know or not?
Before that she was on H-4, I am still on H-1B

What happens when the laws of America clash with the laws of physics? In the Never-Never Land of Immigration, the natural laws of physics must defer to human-made law. This is the absurd answer of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Status (USCIS), the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (CA5) in its Sept. 29 decision, Bokhari v. Holder. The case involves the interpretation of a USCIS regulation, 8 C.F.R. � 274a.12(b)(20), which came into being because of the problems caused by bureaucratic delay. The regulation allows the automatic grant of work permission for up...

Bestin,
I recently discussed this issue with a couple of people in southwest Michigan, in jobs and contract positions with Whirlpool corporation. I am not sure if that is where the interest is coming from, but it is quite possible. They are new blood and did not even know this organization existed and that it was instrumental in last years VB reversal. I offered to meet with a larger group of them and give a talk but asked one specific senior employee there to network and find out the potential interest of potential members. I shared with him the link to this website. I was told there are up to 50 members in various stages. Not sure how many would be interested, but....there is a pool we can tap into in one location.
There are a number of foreign nationals of many countries that work here too who are in the EB queue. Hopefully this can give a new impetus.
