If the cruise goes outside of US territorial waters, everyone on the ship needs to show eligibility to re-enter the US on return. This is true even if the ship does not make any port call in a non-US territory.
In your case it looks like the ship even makes a stop at BC. Irrespective of whether the ship makes the stop or whether you get out of it or not, the fact that it goes out of US waters is what matters.
So yes, you will have problems coming back if you go on this cruise.
You can however fly to Alaska and come back (like a domestic flight) without any problems, as long as it is a non-stop flight from the US to Alaska (no stops in Canada).

Mmmm, doesn't have a lot of stumpiness. I mean. I can see the stump, and there's nice light, but the bottom of the stump is dark, and the shape isn't defined as a stump. I think a different wider angle making the stump more obvious in it's surreoundings, or a tighter shot for an abstract pattern/texture might have worked better. I can see why you composed it as you did, there's nice light/dark balance overall, but there is no particular focal point for the eye and that leaves you sort of wandering when you look at it. My opinion, your mileage may vary...

My mother recently got a tourist visa for 10 years. I know that when she enters USA she will get I-94 which will be valid for 6 months, and she has to go back before the I-94 expires. My question is:
1) Can she go back to India for say 2 months and come back to US to stay for another 6 months?
Ex: she comes on 1st Jan 2011 , goes back 31st June 2011 , then stay for couple of months in India and Again Come Back on 1st Sep and stay for more 6 months ?
According to my understanding tourist can stay only 6 months in USA in a calendar year, provided they don’t apply for extension, is it true?
2) What if she comes on 1st Jan 2011 stays for 6 months, applies for 6 months extension gets it.
Goes back in month of Dec. stays for 2 months and again comes on March 1st 2012, will she face any problem at port of entry? Due to her extension she took on her last visit?
Please help me understand pros and corns? What is the best way to use 10 years tourist visa to stay in USA legally to Maximum period.

Some had mentioned in immigration forums that you might be grilled with questions during naturalization process if you had changed employer as soon as you got your GC.If you are not planning for naturalization I assume you are fine.
A 6 month stay with current employer after GC is advised for a smooth naturalization process in future.But this is dark area as there are no posts from GC turned citizens about their experiences.
Thats not exactly true in the context of this thread. You have to work for your GC sponsorer for some period of time before changing employer. Pooch was mentioning his/her GC sponsorer is future employer. So after the GC is approved, he/she has to work for that GC sponsorer not the current employer.

I asked my company attoreny about this.. he said that immigration petition is I-140 and as I-140 is not filed for your wife (I-485 is already filed for my wife) so I should say No there for my wife's form.
You are right , I just got the same information from my employer and the attorney that I-140 is the visa petition and not the I-485.So for H4 dependents the answer should be "NO"

Hi!
I was wondering what are the benefits of EAD to primary(H1B) applicant before 180 days, i understand that AC21 & it's benefits can be invoked after 180 days from receipt date.
But is there any benefit of having EAD if 180 days from 485 receipt date are not over ?

Hello,
According to my knowledge the majority of name checks submitted are electronically checked and returned to the submitting agency as having "No Record" within 48-72 hours. The processing time for FBI name checks usually take from 30-120 days but timing does vary from case to case. The FBI’s intention is to have all visa requests processed within 120 days. Most name check requests that are over 60 days old are the result of the time required to retrieve and review field office record information. Any case which is not processed within this time frame is usually delayed because of a potential "hit" which will be further reviewed manually.
Hello Sir,
Thank you for the quick reply.
As my application have been lodge for almost 2.5 months now.
Can I please ask 'when' is the FBI name check done? Is the FBI name check the first thing that will be done?
How will I know that my FBI name check is successful?
Thank you once again.

Nothing positive? Check this out:

There were those who got their I-140 cleared under EB2 and were practically jumping with joy at the door closing behind them. Some were even taking credit for the move :)
That would be devastating! I dont see any positives out of that move.

I believe they would process the application within 15 days. It doesnt necessarily have to be an approval or denial, they can even send a RFE.
Once you respond to the RFE, its not necessary that they have to process your case with in 15 days.
TRUE.
It is 15 days (not business) including week ends.
Here are some hidden facts:
* 15 days window DOES NOT start from the day USCIS receives application.
* 15 days window DOES NOT start from the day USCIS sends a NOTIFICATION (Yes !!!)
* 15 days window starts ONLY when you see an LUD change with a description "Request for Premimum Processing" updated in USCIS system.
* When there is an RFE, the 15 days window clock STOPS.
while( case != approved && case != denied )
{
* RFE is issued
***** 15 days clock now is reset to 0 *****
* 15 days window DOES NOT start from the day USCIS receives RFE Response.
* 15 days window DOES NOT start from the day case status says "RFE Response received".
* 15 days window starts ONLY when you see an LUD change with a description "Case Resumed" updated in USCIS system.

http://itavisen.no/art/1304403.html?PHPSESSID=6f659d505057356c057c50b88ed ea679 reports that the Norwegian Nikon distributor Interfoto held a press conference today warning people against using "cheap" memory cards from vendors not on Nikon's approved list.
According to Interfoto the cheap memory cards doesn't fit too well physically and can damage the camera. Their service department report pins that are either broken or even forced into the camera itself.
In addition there has been problems with pictures disappearing when "the card crash".
Interfoto recommends Sandisk and Lexar, as well as Microdrives from IBM/Hitachi. (Interfoto is the Norwegian Lexar distributor btw)
Has anyone else heard something similar?

Yesterday I went to a training for immigration attorneys in Sacramento, California. The jurisdiction of the USCIS field office in Sacramento (https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.detail&office=SAC&OfficeLocator.office_type=LO&OfficeLocator.statecode=CA) includes the cities of Vallejo and Benicia so I thought it might be useful to hear about any new local procedures. While I did not learn anything new about what is happening at Sacramento USCIS, I did learn about new procedures being applied to applicants applying for visas abroad.
It seems that applicants who have tattoos are being screened more carefully at their medical appointments. The belief is that an individual with a tatoo may be involved in gang activity which furthermore may lead to that individual engaging in substance abuse. In a published article included in conference materials at the American Immigration Lawyers Association�s (�AILA (http://www.aila.org/)�) annual conference, immigration lawyers Fernando Rojas and Magda Montiel Davis, explain what is happening:
Panel physicians are asking applicants about the meaning of their tattoos and the medical personnel conducting the exam will take notes describing the tattoo. This interrogation could lead to further questions about the applicant�s possible gang affiliation and criminal history. Applicants with tattoos are also being questioned by the panel physician regarding their substance abuse history. Apparently, panel physicians are making the assumption that applicants with tattoos are more likely to do or abuse drugs. If the beneficiary admits to any drug use, Consulates will use this information against the applicant in order to deny the visa by making a substance abuse finding against them.A finding of substance abuse is serious because an applicant who is a drug user or abuser may be denied admission to the United States pursuant to Immigration and Nationality Act Section 212(a)(1)(A)(iv) (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=9b60c646835045a30ceca097f0ca1 ba3). I would counsel anyone carefully who has a tattoo to be very honest about what the tattoo means. An applicant should be prepared to answer in- depth questions about something that may have been inconsequential to them. In my opinion, it would not be a bad idea to have the tattoo removed if possible. Of course the fact that a person has a tattoo does not mean that he or she is a substance abuser. It is scary that examiners are making that assumption, but I do not expect this scrutiny to go away. The best practice is to be aware that this questioning is taking place and to be prepared.

That was an old news. Around 60000 visa's were pre-allocated to pending applications before July 2nd, 2007. I would be very surprised if the numbers are not much more than 18000 for India EB3. India used to get around 40-45 K visas per year for all EB categories before 2005 since the soft quota was introduced. All these numbers are avilable on USCIS website.
