Hi,
We(Uma Kandaswamy and Ravikumar Balasubramaniam) have been living in cumming GA since 2006 april, and we are green card holders who received green card one and half years back. We had a son in sep 2006 and named him Aaditya Balakandan Ravikumar with out any hassle in 2006 in GA at the same hospital(Northside)
But on April 3rd when we welcomed our daughter in to this world, at Northside hospital. The vital records guys at the hospital refused to put my husband's first name as my daughter's last name and said there is new law in GA, that says we should either name our daughter with mom's or dad's lastname or a combination of both and not father's first name.. This was really wierd to me in this free country..and no other state seem to have this, because my brother recently had a baby in NJ and named him with his first name with no trouble.
We wanted to name our daughter "Kaavya Magdalene Ravikumar" Instead the birth certificate has "Kaavya Magdalene KandaswamyBalasubramaniam" for now.
The SSN/Vital records government office guys refused to even discuss or explain the law and blankly said get a court order and we will change ur daughter's name.
Now we are in the process of taking this to court and changing her name to what we wanted before applying for passport etc..
FYI: I somehow feel like the law is suggesting that we can name our kid either on of these ways and not really enforcing...
Georgia Code - Health - Title 31, Section 31-10-9 - Georgia Attorney Resources - Georgia Laws (http://law.onecle.com/georgia/31/31-10-9.html)
Can you please advice. It is somehow hard to believe in the most freedom loving country of immigrants, Immigrant parents can't name their baby what they want to and go through this hassle.
Thank you. Any help is appreciated.

Follow "Direct Filing" instruction by USCIS effective July 30th 2007. Did googling for "Direct filing I-765", you will get the answer. Thanks
All,
I have a question about Mailing my renewal petitions. I have talked to Texas SC few times. I got different answers each time. It appears that they all need job training.
Here is my scenario:
Originally my 485 was filed with NSC and then it was transferred to TSC. So my 485 is pending in TSC right now. Where should I mail my renewal applications?. I live in Colorado. There are 2 different views on this. Some people say that I have to send my applications to whereever my 485 is pending. Some people say that I have to mail it to NSC.
Any thoughts?/
Thanks

I changed my employer after 9 months of filing 485 using AC21 a year ago and my new employer has reduced my workdays to 3 days a week starting this month. Can I get a second job for 2 days a week with same job description and salary etc ?
The AC21 job must be same/similar along with permanent and full-time. Your labor should indicate hours/week for the job. Usually CIS considers job with > 35 hours per week as full time.
Good Luck.

Yes the bottom line is you have to withdraw one. In my case, I have to write in letter to USCIS in Nebraska becase I did self-filing. I've spoken to an agent a while ago. She said withdrawal will not affect my other I-485. Consult with your attorney. I already have a finger printing appointment next week so I'm goin to withdraw the I-485 receipt from Nebraska.

Could someone share their recent experience regarding how long the DOL is taking to respond to Prevailing Wage requests for PERM labor certification? Thanks!

I had my EB2 PERM filed and approved with PD of May 2007. Filed 140 for this already. Just today came to know that there is a October 2002 EB3 labor available for substitution at my company and matches my profile so I can use it.
What do you guys say, I only have two days left to file labor substitution, but my lawyers can do it. I have to decide fast.
Thanks

both of us are physicians working on h1b visas .we have ead's.i want to do a fellowship.i believe i cannot do a fellowship using my ead.can i use my wife's ead,showing myself as a dependant?all help from the gurus will be greatly appreciated.thanks.
EAD is employment authorization document. Your analogy is like -
"Can I use her driving licence to drive around town". I am not sure if that is what you meant.
If you want her to be the primary applicant in your GC application and then use EAD as a dependent, that is possible. You will lose your H1B status then.

I would say 30 days after August 23 since that is the latest advert you ran for the job.
Thanks for your reply. One of the newspaper ads ran on July 27th. Does that mean I have to wait 30 days from that date?
I have 4 additional steps when DOL needs only three. May be I do not have to count the University Alumni Placement ad and file early.
Is this company considered professional oraganization for Operations Research Analyst job: www.apicsutah.org? We posted the job ad on this organization's website to fulfill the Professonal Organization requirement.
Thanks.

Thanks Ramba. But do you think it is going to trigger an audit since we already filed the application with "No".

In order to be able to finally adjust status when your priority date become current you must either maintain a continuously valid advance parole or H-1 visa. Alternatively, you could file an I-824 requesting that your approved I-140 be transferred to the National Visa Center so that when your priority date becomes current you can apply at the US Consul in Canada for your immigrant visa.

Is skill bill part of these immigration reforms which Bush is talking about?
If these reforms go through, should we assume that SKIL Bill too will get through?

IMHO, If you have a valid H1b visa, then you need to be gainfully employed to keep the visa valid and that would mean you continue to get paid. If not, then that that is a problem. Joining the 2nd company on EAD is not a problem. Coming back to the 1st company on EAD is not a problem either. If you want to keep your H!b alive/valid, then I would suggest that you port/transfer your H1b visa to the 2nd company and when you are done with him, transfer h1b back to 1st company.
Seems like a lot of trouble to keep the h1b visa valid, but then again, that is one of the options.

I-140 Premium processing upgrade receipt number
Dear firends.,
My lawayer upgraded to premium processing for I-140 on June 20th,2007. Will I get a new receipt number or should I keep checking the status for the original I-140 receipt number
Please advise
Thanks
I'm in same boat, upgraded to PP on June 1. your new status of I140 will be "We received request for PP". usually they update the online status on friday night. Expect an RFE early next week, they just want more time, so they send some non-sense RFE. RFE resets the 15 day clock.

Thanks guys!
Most of the time I don't really like photos that are processed with canned Photoshop effects, they are either too obvoiusly based on a photo or not "handmade" enough. I think by chance (I tried one efter the other just for fun and to see what they did) I stumbled on an effect ("Diffuse Glow" distortion effect in CS) that surprisingly gave this sort of painting or water color look. I tried it on some other photos and it just made a total mess of them. It just somehow worked for this specific picture.
