New Passport or Renewal depends on your current passport. If there is an "(F)" after the expiry date of your passport, then you will have to apply for a new one. Otherwise you can renew the existing one. Even if you get a new one, the consulate will return the old one - and you can carry both passports if your old one has a valid visa. I am not sure if renewal will result in a new passport copy or if they will just change the date in the existing passport. After coming to the US, I could only apply for a new one as I could not renew my old one (old one was applied for when I was below 18 yrs old). At that time, I carried both my old passport with F1 stamp and new passport untill I got H1 stamped in my new passport. The new passport I got back in 1997 was valid for 20 years (expires in 2017).
Thank you very much.
I dont have a "F" next to the expiry date on the current passport. so i can do the processing for renewal i guess and pay only the $15 for delivery charges.
Pls clarify.
Thanks

Success Formula for EB2-I:
1)- Get rid of all EB3 => EB2 conversions
2)- Get rid of all Subs
And there you go we have a fair FIFO system, but hey do our desi folks agree with this :eek: I bet they don't, when they themselves don't like FIFO and straightforward system and how come we expect USCIS to be straightforward and follow FIFO:confused:
Moral of story: Hang in where you are, its already very complicated PD,RD, ND, Country cap, EB cat ... blah .... blah

dilbert_cal / others,
I have a EB3 2002 PD . My 140 is approved and is 485 pending for 2 years. I have EAD as well. So my question is if I join a new employer using AC21 and have the new employer file an EB2 and then try to port PD, will it work. Assume my current employer will revoke 140. Will the PD portabilty still work ?
Thanks

If your previous company has closed down, there isnt any way you can port the PD.
PD transfer can be done if you have an approved I-140. Since you didnt reach that stage and also since the company is no longer around ( which kills any possibility of filing 140 with them ) , you wouldnt be able to port your PD.
Also for PD transfer through approved I140, your job responsibilities, your location of work etc do not play any role.

In my opinion, when it comes to the world of digital photography "best" is almost always classified as a "user's personal opinion" on quality, options, price etc. Not to mention when and what type of photography the camera equipment is going to be used for. I know I am clearly not making it as easy as 1,2,3...but tend to side with what the others in the forum have mentioned in previous forums. (you can do a search for previous posts.) I might add that it will also be beneficial to read and stay abreast of some of the photography publications and of course forums such as Dphoto, which now-a-days most, if not all, do a comprehensive list of tests and trials with cameras ans are frequented by many pro's.
However, I always find it amusing that the different publications seem to choose different cameras as thier "top winner"...talk about personal opinion. I recently came across a review of a camera in which the tester had the camera for nearly one year, in which he was able to give a pretty comprehensive review, while I have read other reviews in which they had the camera for a couple of days (and had two totally different reviews). Lastly, if you stay afloat of the industry and review dphoto I am confident you will be able to develop e better understanding of cameras in the current marketplace and future releases.
So, what are you projecting to use the camera for? It's alright not to know exactly, since we all change our minds, but it's a good place to start since some subject matter needs the faster shutter speeds, while others need better glass (lenses).
I hope some of the additional information I have provided you gives you a better insight about the purchase. For additional info, I did write about some of the general differences between an independent mom and pop shop and a large corporate store which can be found inthe forum.

Matt, There were patchy clouds so the shutter speeds were all over the place but never slower than 1/300, which is why the lens was wide open. I was scraping for every ounce of light I could get and I knew the extremes of sunlight on one side of the geese and shadows on the other were going to cause me problems, regardless. I did think about swimming out there and hanging a sheet on the left to reflect, but it was zero degrees and I just wasn't up to it. ;)
I was going to reshoot this morning, with smaller apertures and a higher ISO to retain shutter speeds but, as things go in Illinois in the winter, yesterday was probably the only sunny day we'll get this week, so no warm morning sun to shine on the geese. It's a popular hangout spot for geese, so I'll try the shot again. I'm not all that excited about the shot itself, but it's an excercise in perfecting the miniscule talent I have.
Don't worry, I have enough sense to not touch a 1D unless my pockets are bulging with disposable income because I know that, once I do, I won't sleep until I have one!
Don,
Thanks for the thoughts. I tend to go right to manual. I'll incorporate Av and Tv modes into my shooting to see if I like them and/or can get comfortable with them. Usually, once I go to that side of the dial, I figure I might as well do all of the work. Agreed on the fully automatic side. I've used it a few times to see what it would do, but I just can't get comfortable with allowing a computer to dictate how my image will look, outside of composition. And I doubt I'll ever rely on the automated side of the dial.
