It is called desi mentality. Unless the ass is set on fire - Desi folks don't realize the importance of such things.

The govt. authorities in Bangalore never gave my PF, citing some
spelling mistake in my fathers name. Guess if i showel down 10% bribe
in their throat , they might give. Later i didn't bother to pester them,
i am here. The babus also might think "This chap is in USA , minting $$$".
I can attest to that. It's not unusual to have to pay bribe from 10-25% to get the PPF money. And even that takes weeks/months to complete. I've personally known relatives in India who had to do that. It's not even considered anything out of ordinary there. Good Luck R2I's.

using a flash is ok, just be careful if you wear glasses (you might need some retakes before you get it right). and turn on red eye removal. 3.2 mp for the size (2x2) of picture is good enough.. Even 1 mp is good enough if you are zooming in to take pictures. but if you are cropping a 1 mp picture to take out surroundings, its better to use 2mp plus camera.
When using a flash you get harsher shadows, to counter that have light source both from left right and top and do the picture in daytime with atleast some natural light. Remember stand atleast 2 feet away from the white background.
Flash results specially in home environment without proper lighting won't be good at nighttime unless you use multiple synchronised flash guns.
I guess the other persons remark regarding flash may be related to lighting / over exposures/ shadows. (make sure you wipe your face if you have oily skin - no kidding )
In the end if you really want to make your pictures look good and per specifications go to a portrait studio.

Pappu,
Reality is DREAM act is directly connected to HISPANIC votes for Democrats, EB community doesnt have any VOTING rights, neither they get any support from the folks who are already GC/UScitizenship holders.
Once people are out of this GC mess, they all start talking about anti immigration and that's the reality, u go to any indian community around and see how much support you have from those folks who have GC/US citizenship.
I agree.
Citizens want to either start consulting companies and get H1B employees or want to stop more Indians coming. More Indians mean less jobs for their children.
Green card holders do not even want to be friends with H1B.
H1B do not want to be friends with F1.
H1 girls want to be married to citizen or Green card holders. Or someone with EB2 PD.
Green card IV members do not even want to come back here.

That's not true. They will still process backlogged applications filed prior to the introduction of the bill. Considering the current backlog, none of the applications for FY2008 from India and China would have been considered during that period anyway. This would only matter if you were from a non-retrogressed country. As far as the points system is concerned, your priority date doesn't matter anyway as only your point score will be considered.

Things seems to be so messy that Ron has very cleverly avoided any speculation about the coming up visa bulletin.
http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5185
Ron Gotcher cannot predict the July 2008 visa bulletin, following is what he says.
Historically, about 40% of all immigrant visas/adjustment approvals take place in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year (July - September). The law prohibits the issuance of more than 27% of the quota in any of the first three quarters. All visas that are unused (ordered but not issued) must be returned for use in the fourth quarter. This is why we see most visas being issued in the July - September interval.
This year, there is anecdotal evidence that the government may have violated the law and issued more visas in the first three quarters than permitted by statute. No one really knows if this is true or just the result of inartful language used by government officials. No one has released any absolute numbers as to actual issuances.
If the government did violate the law, then all bets are off and there is no way to anticipate what might be in the works.
If they did not violate the law, however, we can infer certain things from what we have seen thus far. We know that the CIS has enough AOS applications in the existing inventory (backlog) to fill the annual quota four times over. If they were processing with any degree of efficiency, cutoff dates would be backlogged worse that what they were at the start of the fiscal year last October. They aren't.
Because the CIS isn't processing cases at a rate sufficient to exhaust the annual quota, the State Department has had to move cutoff dates forward in order to attract more applicants to file overseas with consulates. This allows the State Department to step up and process immigrant visa applications and help exhaust the quota.
We know that CIS processing has been deficient this year because we have seen forward cutoff date movement. If the CIS were processing large numbers of cases, not only would forward cutoff date movement be wholly unnecessary, it would be grossly irresponsible.
Given the forward movement earlier in the year, I certainly expected to see substantial movement in June. That did not happen. Why it didn't happen is unknown. It could be that the CIS, wishing to avoid a repeat of last year, dropped everything an adjudicated a massive number of cases. I doubt that happened because we haven't seen any evidence of it. Had they approved a huge number of cases in a short period of time, it would have been all over the Internet.
It could also be that, once again, the CIS has solemnly promised the State Department that they really will adjudicate a huge number of cases this time and all those other years where they made the same promise and then failed to follow through don't really count because this time they really mean it.
Whatever the reason for the lack of movement in June, July will tell us what is going to happen for the balance of the fiscal year. If there is no substantial movement in July, then we are unlikely to see much movement in August or September. If there is substantial movement in July, however, we can probably expect to see a retrogression in September.
The July visa bulletin should be out around Monday, July 14th. Let's see what happens.

This is my first post so forgive if I am not in the right place,
But I have situation where in I need your inputs to decide.
I am working at a clients place and they willing offer me a full time position.
My Labor is approved Oct 2007 and Filed for I-140 receipt pending.
In this situation should I change my job or should I wait for I 140 to be approved or wait till I apply for I 485 , but as you know the priority dates have retrogressed for EB2 and I heard that they will be unavailable shortly.
I always wanted to get a full time right from my Masters but ended up as a consultant as I had to get my H1 done.
Please Advice!
I am asking questions myself. But I will shed some information that I have.
In my understanding when your I-485 is going to be finalized, they see if the I-140 and intentions to work were valid when ur I 485 was filed. In your case I-140 is not even approved...how would you validate your intent?
Even I am not sure if I USCIS would consider my intentions that I have stayed with the sponsoring company for over 2 years after filing of I 140 and more than 1.5 year after the I 140's approval....

Why are we rambling on and on about this? There is absolutely no connection between India buying fighter jets and immigration. That was what the OP wanted to know. If the immigration processes will get affected because India excluded Boeing and Lockheed. There seems to be no connection between the two issues. Period.

My spouse and I are on L1/L2 visa.
In 2002 there was a law change and the L2 visa holders got the right for EAD, valid until expiry date of the current L1/L2 visa. Renewal of the EAD was relatively easy when the new L1/L2 visa was issued. The tricky thing is that after expiration of the L visa, while waiting for LC approval we can get only 1 year H1 extensions. This means that during the period between L1/L2 visa and submitting of I-485 the EAD will be cancelled.
Following the common sence, the L2 visa holder should still be able to get EAD for the period between L and I-485. We will find it out in half a year time when our last L visa expires. But I would not bet on it...
So, my hint is - why not push for a similar approach being applied for immigrants waiting for LC approvals (after 365 days), for I-140, I-485 etc. It makes sence since the enormous delay in GC process was caused by the US bureaucracy and the poor idiots like us deserve some relieve :-)

I asked you for the proof that 80,000 FBs are reserved for EB immigrants ( or somehow available !). You did not show me any !
There is no law that states USCIS should not consider country quotas during the last quarter. As per AC21 law USCIS should relax the quotas if the numbers are getting wasted (not already assigned to ROW). If USCIS works efficiently and assigns the visa numbers to EB3 ROW - which is retrogressed - before the end of third quarter, they don't need to relax country quotas in the fourth quarter.
In a way USCIS inefficiency is helping applicants from retrogressed countries get GCs faster (4th quarter relaxation) :).
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/CISOMB_Annual_Report_2007.pdf
Look at page 52. Page 53 explains, why USCIS is wasting visa numbers even though there is huge demand for the same.
The 7% country limit does not exist for the last quarter. But it does exist during the first 3 quarters. Since USCIS is moving the PD drastically only in the last quarter, they are unable to process all the applications in the last quarter resulting in wastage of EB visas.
