Sorry to go on about my birds, but this I wanted to share...
I was out to get some training photographing flying birds when I suddenly saw this seagull that had a wooden stick poking out from the neck. I decided to turn photo journalist for a while and concentrate on pictures of this unlucky bird. I don't know what could have happened to it, either it has accidentally flown into something or God forbid someone has shot an arrow at it. :(
I have already found out that photographing flying birds is difficult, but try photographing a specific bird in a big flock - that's taking the difficulty to another level! :) I managed to get a few inflight pictures as well though. Unfortunately it was of course not too difficult to spot with the wooden pointer attached.
This is what I first saw, the bird flying past me a couple of times:

He was clearly irritated, kept scratching around the head and shaking to get rid of the stick:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3402.jpg
This bird seemed quite dominant, kept chasing off other birds, so it wasn't too hindering:

He was also out on the water, resting as well as courting and chasing other birds:

When I threw in some bribes he also joined in in the feeding, both feet and stick in the water:

Here's another inflight picture with the ugly stick poking out:

And a final portrait of this unlucky bird:

To end on a slightly brighter note here are two birds just about to take off:

Can I fill AP directly instead of going thru the lawyer?
Thanks
yes! Include the copy of your 485 receipt inthe appplication.
EAD and AP are simple enough that you can apply/renew on your own without paying a lawyer.

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.
I know what HDR is, but your original question now doesn't seem to make any sense in light of what you just said now.
With that said, HDR works best with enough photos (no specific number necessary) to have well exposed highlights and shadows (start by underexposing your highlights and keep going up in exposure until your shadows are almost overexposed). From what I've read, the HDR plugin prefers the images to be separated by one stop, so on my camera that means three clicks over on the rear command dial if I'm set for 1/3rd stop increments. Setting your camera to 1/2 stop increments (maybe that's all the D100 can do, I can't remember) will let you get from one end of the scale to the other more quickly.

Giddu,
If the premium processing unit sent an e-mail that the petition was approved it does indeed mean it was approved.
Ignore the online status and expect the approval notice in the mail. No need need to panic.
This is from my own experience.
My attorney received an email notice of I-140 approval (PP) on Mon, June 25. But the online case status showed the application as pending. Finally,today my attorney called and was told that due to "system glitch ", approval notices were sent out in error!! It seems this has done to others too!!
Did anyone else encounter this?

I asked this before but did not get any answer. Trying my luck again. I lost my OPT card and unfortunately have no records what so ever of it.
Is there a way I can get a copy of this from USCIS?

In addition to that, there is a 90% chance that there will be an inquiry from USCIS when change of status petition (B1/B2 to H1) is filed, mostly asking the routine questions and the query would have to be replied by a good attorney in a proper manner.
That would cost your friend here some money as replying the USCIS inquiries is pretty routine but its not free and lawyers would charge you $$ for that. If you are doing this thru a small company, the company might charge you / your friend here for reply to the USCIS query. It would be a minimum of $1000 to respond to such inquiries by an average attorney.
Its better to go to India, get a fresh H1 approval (I-797) for yourself, get the visa stamp of H1 on your passport in India and then come here. You wont be able to start working until Oct 1 anyways.
Also, please dont open 2 threads for the same question. I am going to delete the other thread.

You may have submitted your papers in Jan 2007 but make sure your lawyer forwarded it in Jan 2007. Check for the date Received on the approval notice.
For my recent H1B extention for 7th year extention, I have come across strange situation.
My old H1B was valid till 5th Feb 2007. Extention was applied in Jan 2007 with approved I-140. Recently I have received approved H1B extention with new I-94, but it states validity is from 22 March 2007 to 5th Feb 2010.
I thought the extention should have been from 6th Feb 2007 to 5th Feb 2010.
what should be infered from above ? Does it mean that I was out of ststus fron 6th Feb 2007 till 21st March 2007.
I would appereciate any input on this.
If this makes me out of status , is there a way to fix this by contacting USCIS again ?
Thanks
Saurav

Hello ..
filed my 140(EB3) regular processing Nebraska Service Centre with RD/ND=Oct25th 2006..
guys from April/May r still waiting and I think there must be whole load of 140 applications from June onwards..So maybe another backlog building up for 140 cases...If our application is not so strong and we file for prem.processing they might use a denial notice and knock us out..!!
Any idea when could my case be touched...expecting not until March..
whole of our life ends up in waiting...!!

Hi palemguy,
Could you please post or mail the # that you called to find out about your NC? Is it TSC/NSC?
Thank you.
Just got off the phone with customer service rep. I called them to know the status of my service request that was created 45 days ago. After some wait, one lady picked up my call. I asked her to check the status of my service request. She tried for 10 mins to pull up that info but she couldn't pull up because of some technical issues. She escalated my call to another level.
One rep picked up my call.He seems to be nice and answered my questions. He said my case is under review as of 8/21/2008. When I asked him to see whether my name check is cleared or not, he said it is still pending as of now. FBI name check was initiated on Sep 18, 2007 and it should expire on Nov 30, 2008. Before that they should get a response for name check.
We gave our finger prints on Nov 2, 2007. How come name check was initiated on Sep 18, 2007? I am not sure whether i can believe his words?
I have a soft LUD on 8/21/2008. According to CSR words, i can assume that case was assigned to an officer. But i am not sure about the name check process.
Is any one got the similar response?
Please share your thoughts on this

amsaleem is right. The exp I used was the one i had prior to my filling date.
fromnaija i dont agree with what u have to say. In my case i used my exp to prove that I can do the job for which my LC was applied for.
Here is my situation.
Worked for 2 1/2 years with an Indian company. Joined the current company in Apr 2001. Applied for my LC on Jan 2004. Got my LC approved on Jan 2006. My lawyers took their own sweet time to apply I 140 and was applied in Mar 2006 and got approval on October 2006. I used my exp from Apr 2001 to Jan 2004 to prove that i can do the job. The job descriptions were very similar. Hope this helps.
