I bought a D70 October 29th, and have terrible back focus problems. I've been a photographer since 1959, used Nikons since Vietnam in 1968, and know what I'm doing.
To test whether the back focus might be my fault somehow, I have had several friends use the camera without telling them what I was testing. All had awful back focus; not one low light, wide aperture image is anywhere near acceptable.
Clearly, this is a systemic problem with the D70. I had similarly disabling problems with my first two FEs when I bought them in about 1978; apparently Nikon still tests its products on its first year's customers. Back then, it caused me to change to Canons until I bought an N90s and came back to Nikon.
I might do the same thing again. It is very sad; I like my Nikons and we've seen a lot together, but this is the way a company drives its loyal customers away.

I, personally, do not know anyone who lives in Canada and is complaning about jobs. Every beginning is difficult but for us who come to Canada from the US, I do not think the beginning would be difficult at all. Even with their famous Canadian exp only requirements....
Also, when you guys weigh in job prospects in Canada in comparison to being on H1 in the US, do you consider that your spouses would have a fair chance to at least re-start their careers or start their new careers, or do you think / know that your spouses will actually continue to stay at home?
In that case there is no difference between staying here or going there, right?

We had a discussion with our company lawyers about this. We wanted to know if it was possible to file for EB2 after a promotion. They told us the following and said we cannot change (dont know if its bs, you talk to your lawyer.)
a) EB is based on your previous job not the current one. So even when i have worked in my current company for 8 years, the current experience is not counted.
b) The new job/position should have activities more than 50% different to your previous position ( even tho i was eligible for EB2 then, i was suggested EB3, still suffering for that blunder). Unfortunately Software engineer is a position where the job activities include everybody uncle and more.
i think its a different story if you change your job, if you like your job and want to stay then there is little you can do.
Folks:
I am one of the frustrated ones under EB-3 (India) with a PD of Jul 2003. My case is as follows:
I had 3.5 years of experience + MBA from India when I joined the current Job in 2001.
I applied for my GC in 2003 and the lawyer said since my MBA was not relevant for the current job (software engineer) and since my experience before the current job was less than 5 years, I should apply EB-3.
Currently, I have 11 years of experience (out of which 7.5 is with the current employer from whom I have applied for GC) and I have moved to Business Development that uses my MBA quals.
Can I change to EB-2? What do I need to do? What are the risks?
Any/all pointers will be appreciated

Thanks, although it is very bittersweet, I wanted to one day become a USC, but with this I dont know where I stand.
Relax. This will have no problem with your Citizenship. Besides it is not your fault anyway.

I have two passports one with H4 Visa stamped and another Surname changed. While entering US, I have used my name as in the Visa (new surname) in the I-94 card.
I have applied for H1B with new surname in this May and change of Status with that I-94.
During H1 processing, I have travelled out of US and while entering back I have used old surname( as sometime back DMV ppl told that the name on I-94 should match with H4 Visa)
Now I got H1 approval and COS approval with my middle name taken as first name and new surname.
1) First thing is, the I-94 on COS approval and I-94, currently present in my Passport does not match.
2) First name and middle name are interchanged in the passport and H1 approval.
Is this going to create any problem while applying SSN? What are the possible consequences..
Also, any similar scenarios, plz respond..
Are we confused or you...
you said that you entered on new surname passport and so your i94 will have new surname..
now when again you reentered you entered on old h4 with old surname...
so you have entered US with two different surnames ...
DMV told you correctly..always your surname should match the surname in visa stamp...
you are lucky that immigration officer at port of entry might have overlooked your case..otherwise you must be in your home country by now..
you are in a serious trouble..surname issue is very big..consult a good attroney than posting in the board...
Good Luck!!!

Checking visa documents before issuing License is one thing. Changing the shape and character of the ID to brand a person “different” is another and purely discriminatory and bad in taste.
It is like wearing a band on your sleeve with “Immigrant on H1” or “Immigrant on EAD” written so that all the people one interacts with can know that.
DL is an ID used on daily basis by people – from airport, to get loans, to get insurance, and sometimes even to buy items on credit card.
Visa status is of no business to any one except Immigration or may be law enforcement authorities.
Give license for the date as long as the visa is valid. Sounds okay. But discriminatory branding of a person's status via his ID is not just an immigration issue; it is a human rights issue. These kinds of laws are more insidiously un-democratic and discriminatory than it may initially look like.

Thank you Hermione (Granger?)
What about salary requirements? would it be okay if I get 20-30% lower
salary? Do I have to be getting paychecks every month?
1. Get a job with same description
2. Get at least the salary mentioned in your LCA
Please check with attorney's before you make that decision.
- goodluck

Are we doing anything to get the support of orgs that are not community based ? I don't see how getting the support of an org based on an ethnic community "broadens the base".
Well, the actual goal is advancing our cause. This endorsement will actually raise awareness about our organization - I guess, that does not qualify as broadening the base for you! But, whether it broadens the base or not - it definitely advances our cause!
And, while somebody is actually doing something,what are you doing about advancing the cause?
This particular support actually helped advance our cause a lot, much more than can actually be revealed on Forums. So pipe down, and do something creative! Why don't you try to get the support of the non-ethnic organizations - call the IV core group to offer your services, and get cracking on it!

I made a one time contribution myself but I have a feeling that IV is going away from the goal of increasing EB visas and just focusing on the 485 filing.Many people that have contributed earlier feel that by prioritizing the 485 filing over increase of EB visas, IV has gone away from atleast some of stakeholders .The stakeholders were promised initially that increase of EB visas would be a top priority or atleast on a even keel with any other objectives, but now we are in phased approach.I have talked to lot of people and the feeling is same.

Thanks man!
Did you stay in nearby hotel to consulate? If yes please share name.
No I stayed with a relative in thane who dropped me to vfs in Mumbai. I did not want to trouble them, but my backup plan was to check into a hotel the earlier night. A search on google "us consulate mumbai hotel" does reveal the hotels in Mumbai. It does appear that there is no hotel in the area, most are 4-5 kms away so u do have to take a taxi too.

Is there a relation between immigration process (485) and IRS?
If a person owe money to IRS , does he/she have a problem with his/her immigration process? I'm not talking fraud ....! I'm talking owing taxes to IRS
The reason i'm asking is because some lawyer do ask for W2 forms, some do not. That means there is a relationship between immigration and IRS.I just have no idea how it works.
Thanks

EB2 .....on June 2001 recieved before 11.45 AM
EB3....on May 2001 recieved before 10.30 AM
But on a more serious note...Let us concentrate on the letter campaign .

Excellent sanju...CNN is FOX News in a closet. There is no independent media left anymore.
Larry King pushed Michael Moore schedule to cover Paris Hilton interview. That shows their committment to quality news.
I will do the same.
A few days I called Comcast to disconnect CNN and CNN headlines from my cable. The Comcast representative was surprised as to why I want to cut CNN. She transferred me to her supervisor. The supervisor noted down my complaint and said that he will get back to me in 3 business days. Next day I got a call from Comcast that they will block CNN entirely from my cable. I thanked them as I will not have bigotry coming into my house anymore.
