Interesting. This is my first autofocus camera. Maybe I'm trusting autofocus too much? I'll try again with a smaller aperture and maybe do a manual focus. Maybe it's just a learning curve, but I have this camera with all of this automation and it seems that, more often than not, I'm shooting in manual mode and now considering using manual focus. With my AE-1 and A-1 bodies I rarely used the automated modes. I was hoping the 300D would be better, but it seems that when I use an automated mode I'm not happy with the settings it chooses. Do you folks with the professional cameras use the automated settings very often? How about autofocus?Or do I just need to get better at understanding the automated capabilities and use them properly.
Thanks for the image feedback.

As good as autofocus is, it is still "dumb" - it has no concept of what you WANT in focus. It just hunts down an area with a sufficient contrast gradient and locks onto it. The focus rectangles are only an approximation of the area evaluated by the AF logic, anyway. In fact, the target area is almost twice the size of the marker in your view finder.
So it's not perfect, not foolproof. I almost always am in Av or Tv mode, occasionally M. I have yet to use the automatic modes with the little pictographs. When I know I need control of depth of field, I set the aperture in Av. When I know I need to freeze the action, I set the shutter speed in Tv. Sometimes, M is called for (like shooting a macro closeup with flash).
The "crop factor" (a D60/10D/DRebel sensor that is 62% of a full-frame 35mm film body) only compounds the problem because the things that are out of focus are 1.6 timse bigger and therefore 1.6 times more noticable.

I just got notice that my cards have been sent for production for my family and I with the exception of my 3 year old son. They have asked for an RFE for him. Has anyone come across this issue? I assume its something basic like photo or updated medical?? Please help.

Per The California State Supreme Court, non-compete clauses in employment contracts are not enforceable in California, except under certain conditions.
so it all depends on your state.

Does anyone else have a problem clicking the last forum topic on the left side. I am using IE7 and never have a hyperlink to click on for that one topic only.

I am not sure about others, but since IV changed the look of this webpage, something is discouraging me from being as active as i was before. I gave myself sometime to adjust but that does not seem to happen.
Admins, please do some stats on hits, number of posts by users etc and see how the new look impacted the site activity?
Two points that I am not a fan of:
1) The front page top 10 forum items still need to be improved. We need complete text display (wrapped if long), the tooltip is not working. I do not want to mouse over every thread to read it completely.
2) User images (i know i have one myself) are making the webpage cluttered and distracting from the real content.

Hi,
I have two I-140 applications and both are from my current emplyer. One was a regular I-140 and the other was a substitute I-140. Both got approved on the same day. Regular had a PD of 04/2007 and substitute had 11/2004.
The regular got approved with PD of 04/2007 and substitute also got approved with 04/2007. So now what are my options of using the 11/2004 PD.
I was expecting USCIS to approve both applications with 11/2004 instead.
Thanks!!
Look at this document:
http://www.greencardapply.com/news/news05/news05_0308.htm
In the following pdf, read section (e). It is not very clear what they mean by "A priority date is not transferable to another alien".

How about using AP to enter if you have AP ? Is that also a problem for employees of TARP companies ?

I think, if you don't have labor doc, you can go to FLCDataCenter.com (http://www.flcdatacenter.com/) and search for MS Access document for the year when you file for the labor. If you have the number from the LC doc, search for that number in the access file and you will find the details of your case.

Sorry to hear about your luck. Like Skalra mentioned, I too would look into using your AP to re-enter. You said that you had already received your EAD, so I'm assuming you applied for AP too? Otherwise I think you'll just have to weather it out. Based on other posts here I think it'll take 4-6 weeks to get verification done.
And can they really just hold your passport at the embassy? Can't you request to have it returned, if for example, you want to use the AP option? Perhaps some other scholars here can answer that question.

Hello Everyone,
I currently have an employment based I-485 application pending (EB3, India). My application was filed when I was single. Now my spouse is getting ready to file his 140/485concurrently (EB2 NIW, non-retrogressed country). Since I already have a pending 485 application, we do not plan on submitting another 485 application for me when he files his. My understanding is that once he receives his 485 receipt notice, we would just need to inform USCIS that both our 485 applications need to be merged (his being the primary, and mine being the derivative). I just wanted to confirm that this is correct, or if there is anything else that needs to be done.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply! That was very helpful .
Do I still have to be employed by my original sponsor when i get the appt after 6 months?
If I return to the US in a few months do I still have to option of filing 485 even though I've already applied for CP in India?
Yes. If you are CP, you must intend to work for your sponsoring employer. That does not mean you need to work for that employer in India, but when you receive your GC, you have to work for the sponsor.
You can file an I-485 later if you wish, even if you are in the CP queue...if you enter the US in a way that permits AoS...that is, I don't think you can enter on a B1 tourist visa, then file AoS, but if you can get an H1b, you will be fine to file I-485.

My attorney asked for all prior H1 or L1 approval notices. I told him I don't have them. I only have my current H1 approval notice. I do have all visa stamps on my passport. He told me USCIS is very likely to ask for those.
