I was just quoting that there may be legitimate reasons but this is not a good reason...
Sorry, but I have to disagree. I don't think there is such thing as "legitimate" reasons to take your own life. What is more legitimate that the other is something very subjective, and if you believe there even exist "legitimate" reasons, then you can always fall into the mistake of thinking that something minor, which you can easily overcome, is "legitimate" just because of your current state of mind and spirit.

In my opinion the USCIS did this to get the 485 cases to be filed after July 30 when their new fee schedule kicks in. They have just created a mess.

After deciding to buy the Nikon D70 I began to read a number of posts to the pReview forum that had D70 owners citing backfocusing problems with their new D70s. All resorted to sending their cameras to the Nikon Service Center for repair. All reported at least some measure of correction but some indicated they could not achieve precise focus within the DOF for each of the Nikon compatible lenses they owned and are useable with the D70.
I own two Sonys (the F707 and the V1). Both, in my view achieve remarkable clarity, color and brightness right out of the box. AF on both is, again in my view, is extraordinary. So, I would be very disappointed if I were to spend 1500 or more bucks (with some accessories) to arrive at inferior imagery.
It is possible what I am reading is the view of purists who are able to "see" focus flaws that the more casual, but still demanding, amateur photogs would dismiss?
Has anyone out there had experience with the backfocusing problem to which I refer?

I have not been laid off and I don't have problems finding jobs; in fact my company has asked me to search for one more person with a background similar to mine. However I have been limited by the requirements of AC21. I was toying with the idea of leaving the country; but cannot sell my primary residence and might have problems obtaining a visitor visa for re-entry (to close on the house). I was seriously considering investing in some more real estate; but am holding back due to the random AC21 denials. I want to start my own business since I finally got my EAD this year - but with all the uncertainity of AC21 case approvals, I am not willing to put personal resources into a business in this country. Currently I am working on starting a free workshop for investment in my community - which will stop if my I-485 is denied in case my former employer revokes my I-140 (and yes; I did send in the letters for AC21). I have registered my dog with therapy international and volunteer my time for various causes (cabin repair, trail maintenance, public education) and donate regularly to the fire and police - all of these will take a hit if I have to leave.
I wonder what the reporter will conclude if he/she talks to immigrants who have lost jobs and have trouble finding new projects........
Anyway, let me know if I can be of any help.
Pls email your contact information.
No anonymous members please. I got a couple of private messages willing to be interviewed but asking to be anonymous.
IV has been always on the forefront of this struggle for legal immigrants. We have also openly walked on the streets for this cause. We are well educated and not illegal. So what is the fear? Only illegals live in the shadows. I cannot understand why some people want to stay anonymous.
I cannot also understand why only a couple of people responded till now. There used to be so many threads with ideas on housing, layoffs and economy. I remember a thread where someone asked IV's plans and said that we should talk to the media. We need everyone when there is an opportunity in the national media to present our case.

I also met several American citizens who were passing by and were curious about the rally. Me and JazzbytheBay explained and they listened patiently. One hour later I saw them marching with us holding flowers that some of our volunteers were distributing to passer bys. One gentleman was a school teacher.
IV needs grassroot support from half a million people stuck in various stages of green card process. You can be from any country. We welcome and invite members from all countries and communities to join our efforts.
Additionally, one of our best friends can be American citizen who understand the issue from economic, personal and other perspectives. If they become part of our voice we will become more effective.
Each one of us has to become "IV brand ambassador" and present our issue in right perspective to counter so much misinformation floated by some vested interests. Yes, you can do it. We can facilitate.

Even though i requested so many times in many threads, and bumped contribution thread you never thought of contributing to IV, did you? did you ever even cared to look into contribution thread Mr. Smart:rolleyes:
People who come here just to create threads and post all silly things need to get remind that this forum/organization is ran by members contribution, people like me who are contributing are allowing you to use this site. You better get this.
And somebody said it right, to contribute someone has to be huMAN.
asking contributions for each post is pestering. Please maintain sanity of the forum.

I don't expect to get a 1D-II lower than the MAP price before 2004 year end.
If Paul's hunch that we'll see the 1Ds' successor by September is correct, then we might see cheaper 1D-II bodies prior to that.
As for the Kodak, it certainly has the resolution, but it doesn't seem as if it's generating much enthusiasm. The 1Ds (with less pixels) OTOH has. Removing the very expensive anti-aliasing filter was probably not Kodak's greatest moment.

I agree with you. But you don't have to go far to find Google at fault. If you look in the Indian English Media, you will hardly find any news regarding Diwali. If they put some news on Diwali that news will be like "Dismal Diwali" etc. I am not kidding. This is the news regarding Diwali in CNN-IBN.
But when Christmas arrives, our Indian English Media will go on and on with their positive spin of Christmas festival.
Everything in India is controlled by western money. They are spreading their tentacles and have started psycho was against our culture.
Let Bhagwan Shri Ram Bless Indians.
Is it too much to ask Google to put a Diwali logo like it does for Hanukkah or Christmas .. at least if not in google.com but in google.co.in?
Also is it too much to expect American mainstream media to totally NOT ignore Diwali which has significance for the second largest population in the world and instead publish significantly less significant story of the balloon boy?
Is it too much to ask for to include Diwali in the spell check for this editor? (Not wailing or Gwalior ...)
It is this mentality of deliberately ignoring the feeling of majority of the world population that is getting the western civilization more and more isolated and retracted.
Well it doesn't really matter. And I am visiting India now and I can see that this country and China will definitely kick ass of Western civilization .. as it is already doing. The people here are hungry for more and in spite of seemingly unsurmountable problems it will succeed and once again India will be the "Sone Ke Chiriya".
With this thoughts and wishing peace .. happy and prosperous diwali to everyone.
May Lord Rama bless the world.

This is a great idea!
I am sure there are some hikers, walkers, joggers and runners amongst the IV membership or people you might know otherwise. This would be a great opportunity to take brand IV in a new direction.
I will sign-up too, need to loose some weight :o

Did you join them on H1B and then move to EAD? Did you change your I-9 form when you did that? If you didn't, as far as they are concerned, you might still be on H1B and so they might feel a need to inform the USCIS. If not, well, there really is nothing in the rule book that says they have to inform the USCIS that an EAD holder left employment.

I wonder what the reporter will conclude if he/she talks to immigrants who have lost jobs and have trouble finding new projects........
Anyway, let me know if I can be of any help.
A top national reporter wants to speak with someone in EB
community who may have recently lost his/her job due to current
economic situation. I think it would be best for our cause for someone
who was offered a new job possibly in the 'same or similar' area
immediately after losing their job. It would help to highlight that
the highly-skilled immigrants are in demand because of their skills
even when the economic situation is not doing well, but, there is no
reason to keep us in limbo for over a decade, merely to test our skill
level. There are better ways to test our skill level. If you or
someone you know fits this profile, kindly email your information and contact details to info at immigrationvoice.org
immediately.
The reporter will also highlight the housing angle and that we can
start new ventures that could potentially create new jobs to uplift
the economy.
This is a big opportunity as the interview from this reporter will be published in most big newspapers and on news websites. We need someone urgently today if possible.
===================
UPDATE FROM THE REPORTER
Actually, what I'm looking for is very broad -- anyone on a work permit
who is concerned about the current economic situation and job losses in
the U.S. economy.
==============
The reporter is trying to speak to immigrants waiting for their Greencards about their concerns about job security, if they have a plan B, if they've been pushed out in restructurings/layoffs and moved to a new job, etc, as they hear the layoffs this year are affecting such people, particularly in the
financial sector
====================
So I guess a lot of people on the forum will qualify. If you are good with interviews, pls contact asap.
