I wondered what the first would look like if the background (horizon) were hidden. Then you did exactly that in the second one. I think I like it better when you can see more of the background. Without that, I found myself wondering what the fence was hiding. I thought more about what wasn't there than about what was.
The third is my favorite with a nice blend of colors as a backdrop for a story of numerous dead parts that used to be a functional whole.
I found the green grass distracting in the last image. After thinking about it for a while, I decided it was a story of a structure at the end of its life. The green grass seemed out of place because it was too alive and too close. Similar comment on the white (ceramic?). Everything else is worn, faded, rusted. Not sure if that makes sense. But the only life in the picture is way out on the horizon, far removed from this remote graveyard.
I like the setting. It reminds me of chasing pheasants in Iowa.

You should not have to pack up your belongings just yet. Chapter 10.5(b)(3) of the USCIS Adjudicator's Field Manual states:"Responses are timely filed if they are received by mail no more than three days after the due date, as provided for at 8 CFR 103.5(b) ." As long as USCIS receives your RFE response today or tomorrow, there ought not to be any problem. Also, because the "deadline" of July 10th fell on a Saturday there is a required automatic extension to Monday.
For future reference, here are a few things to keep in mind regarding USCIS filing deadlines:
1. "Filed" = actually received by USCIS. post marks or airbills showing date sent do not matter
2. USCIS generally will not accept mail or courier deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Federal holidays.
3. Saturdays, Sundays and Federal holidays must be included when calculating time periods.
4. However, if the deadline actually falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal holiday, the deadline is extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or Federal holiday. 8 CFR �1.1(h).
Hope this helps,
Ann

It is a bit early. No checks will be cleared except the legal fee checks. :)
Tomm will be the 23rd...so logically my application has been there for three weeks along with all the other july 2nd filers.
they say they will reach receipting compliance by 1st of August at the NSC...if that is true we need to see some cleared checks right away

One of my ex-colleagues got his GC approved out of turn last year itself. He was EB3 - PD November 2005. They approved it for him, his wife and his two kids! He is a big devotee of Sathya Sai Baba and I think he certainly got his blessings on this one..!

Thanks for the reply.
I am pretty sure we are in the last state but I will check that and make sure when I get home tonight. We have filled out forms called Packet III and sent them in. I was told that we are waiting for a gereen card number available so we can get a consular processing date. And I tried calling immigration couple time with our case number starting ANK...(for Turkey).I was told by them our case was approved too...
It has been much more then 6months...so you are saying that she can change employers.Very interesting...The lawyer told us otherwise.

I got my GC last year auguest but her gc/485 status is stil pending. Is it even possible based on her case was dependent on me? What can I do abt it. Thanks.
I got my GC in 2007... Both me and my wifes PD was aug 03... After 2 infopass appointments and a 1000 letters to president, senators and their chaprasis we gave up. She was current for most of this period. Then last month the GC was in the mail... just like that. So based on my experience, just sit back and relax... If its your wifes desitny to get it then she will.. :D
And here is a big joke... During my second infopass the officer said my wifes application had no connecting primary and a derivative cannot be approved on its own. I told him that the primary (mine) was approved over a year back. He said they must have moved your application... I immediately pictured a govt office in India with milions of files stored in the shelves... Long story short he took a copy of my GC and my 485 notice and said it was very strange and that my wife would receive her GC in the next 2 weeks... Nothing obviously happened after that!

Please explain how you have worked in Illinios for XYZ company( my GC sponsoring Company) living in MN,WA and TX.
This was one line description I got as RFE on my I-485.
My 140 is approved in Dec 2007. I had 1st RFE on I-485 for pay stubs and other things. This is the second RFE. I will consult good attorney. Any advise is helpful.
Also I entered US on AP and I started my own company few months back. I am still working for GC sponsoring company. If by my bad luck my 485 gets denied..what are my options? Also I have my H1 petition valid till May 2012 but I don't have it stamped. Do I need to leave the country and get it stamped?

I140 porting is based on an approved I140 from a previous labor and hence is different from labor substitution. Therefore theoretically that labor was not allowed to expire even after the rule comes in to effect. Having said that I would rather pose this question to a lawyer.

I personally think it�s true specially for FB AOS applicants where no intermediate step like EAD and AP between visitor�s visa and final approval. It may also be true for EB AOS applicants where EAD hasn�t been issued and H1 extension hasn�t filled.

Hi Friends..I am staying in MD and i am H4 visa holder..and i have international driving license with me.. Let me know how can i get the driving license in MD and what is the processes..
It is easy for International License Holder. You can give your knowledge test first and immediately appear for driver test. If you pass the test they issue a driver license which will be mailed to your address. You will need to provide 2 proof of addresses.

Hi All,
I need your help and suggestions. In November of last year my wife and I submitted our medicals and AOS applications. Our checks were never cashed. I informed my lawyer after a month of not seeing the checks cash and raised the question then. They replied that there is a lot of mail going through that room and just wait a bit more. Another month went by, nothing. Then another.
Here it is March 2009 and my lawyer finally contacts USCIS to find out that they cannot find my original application. (no receipt notice was issued) During the entire last year and right up until March my Prioirty Date was always current. Now there is SEVERE retrogression and my PD date is now not current.
We have to refile. I re-wrote the checks and we are submitting the package again.
How can we demand that our application be accepted based on the original filing date of November when we were current?
would the dated medicals prove that we submitted in November. Who would get their paperwork done then sit on it for months right?!?!?!
How do we challenge USCIS based on their error. My lawyer said they have a delivery confirmation for the original application however I have not seen that.
thanks!

Please suggest me good immigration attorney-( in seattle area if possible) for my H1B filing. They should be prompt in preparing my application with in 2 wks time.
My employer called Rajiv S khanna's law firm. Those para legals said they cannt gaurantee timely filing by april 1st. I think its the busiest law firm in this time of the season. cannt find fault with them any ways.
I know I am lagging behind a little bit.
As the clock is ticking, I need to rush up.
Please suggest me
Thanks much in advance

It's good to know.
Well, i doubt having passport at FP would have helped. If in infopass they were not able to correct, how could they do it at FP ASC?
Anyways, having docs helps. I was initially debating whether to take birth certificate at infopass and it turned out it was very much needed.

I do not have EAD and my 485 app is pending, all i can do is get my h1b renewed, in my case without stamping and just 797 will they not give me drivers license extension ???
I dont think that should be a problem. AS Attorney Murthy suggested, talk to the supervisor at the DMV office. The I485 receipt should be enough.
