Dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs), otherwise known as direct investment plans are offered by companies to allow individuals to buy stock without a broker. They were started to help company employees—and then expanded to help people who already owned some shares in the company.
Now it is possible for anyone who doesn't have a lot of disposable income to invest in stock. That’s because, once you are enrolled in direct investment plan, you can make small investments without going through a broker.
With the market in such turmoil, you might not want to invest a large sum of money at any one time. With DRIPs you can get started with a single share of stock and build your holdings over time without paying fees when you invest. That means that you can start investing with next–to-nothing—and build up positions in stocks slowly over the years. That’s because there are no fees or commission for purchases of stock through many DRIPs, so it becomes feasible to routinely make small cash investments. You can invest as little as $10 or $25 a month

Dhundhun,
What is your PD? There is a portion of the memorandum that needs your child's age at the later of the date when PD is current or when petition is approved if PD is current by petition approval date.
I think you should submit an I-485 for your child as soon as possible or if the child is not in the US then file a I-824 immediately. This will serve as proof that your child "sought LPR status" within one year of your PD becoming current. Even if the 485 or 824 is rejected, you have established the fact that your child "sought LPR status" and leave room for administrative appeal in future.
This is just my 2 cents and I am not a lawyer. However, whichever way you interprete the new memorandum your child's CSPA age is under 21.

I have e-filed my EAD application on 3/27. Received receipts on 4/2 from NSC. But I still haven't got the Biometrics appointment. Did any one who e-filed got Biometrics appointment?
Last time I e-filed I got the Biometrics appointment letter in 10 days after filing. Are they sending them out now or using the previous ones?
Don't know what is going on after the new filing location changes. I saw a LUD on 4/13 after I sent my supporting documents.
Thank you.

Please use proper language 'money helper'
You think you can make people who are not even aware of 'day trading' the greatest financial experts, by your 'blogs' (where are they?)
I don't want your 'cake', for that matter anybody's. You eat well (and have stomach problems). Why bother to educate this nonsense here.
I asked because when you try people to this trap, you should have the basic decency to tell atleast how much you lost!
if people are interested in financial investments and if they have enough knowledge, surely they won't come here to read your crap. Anyway those who become educated reading things here are destined to lose.
i dont understand why people wants to contradict in every post, chintu is trying to share some knowledge if u dont want it thats fine u dont need to contradict it....even i dont do this stock stuff but that does not mean i should contradict it...

I agree. My experience thus far: I emailed 200 reporters and received no response. I am going to try the letters idea, because I too think what Amitjoey says is right-- letters make an impact.
Write a letter, run a grammar/spell check, then print, SIGN, and send it to senators who support us. I wrote the following. But please personalize, because that would send the message that this is an issue of importance to you-- the writer.

Subject: Thousands of properly filed EB Green Card applications likely to be rejected/ returned
References/ Enclosures:
� Interim Visa Bulletin by U S Department of State
� USCIS announcement to stop accepting Adjustment Of Status applications
Dear ____:
I have been living in ___, USA for the last ___ months/ years. By profession, I am a ____, and I work for ___, a company based in ___.
I am writing to bring to your attention the unprecedented decision made by US Department of State (DOS) on July 2, 2007 with its interim �visa bulletin�. With this bulletin, DOS determined that all the immigrant visa numbers allocated for the current financial year had been expended, and thus there would be no further authorizations of new Green Cards this year. In response, USCIS announced that it would return all Adjustment of Status applications it received, beginning July 2, 2007. Please note that the USCIS had already RECEIVED applications on the morning of July 2, 2007, even before DOS published this interim visa bulletin.
In my opinion it is an unfortunate decision in that it virtually renders null and void, thousands of properly filed Employment Based Green Card- Adjustment of Status applications.
An important thing to note here, is that in the Visa Bulletin published by DOS only 18 days ago (June 13, 2007) all Employment Based categories had been made �current� since almost 60000 immigrant visa numbers had been unused till that time.
This begs the question: how did USCIS manage to approve about 60000 green cards in less than 3 weeks, when it took the previous 8 months to approve the same number of green cards?
The Visa Bulletin published by DOS in June 2007, had brought good news to thousands of high-skilled temporary workers (doctors, engineers, IT professionals) in the USA, because the floodgates that had been closed for over 2 years had been re-opened.
This bulletin had implied that we could finally apply for "Adjustment of Status"- the final stage of the 3 step Employment based Green card process. This would solve a number of quality of life issues for people like me, as they would allow our spouses to take up part or full time jobs, they would bring in an element of stability allowing me to plan the purchase of a new home, and it would give me the freedom of relocating to another part of the USA for any unforeseen reason, without worrying about the portability of my existing job.
Therefore, my family and I worked really hard, and tried to religiously comply with all procedures laid out and submitted our application to reach the USCIS on the morning of July 2, 2007.
Besides running around to gather the paperwork to help file in time, I had to spend a significant amount of money on:
1) Urgent medical examinations and vaccinations by USCIS approved surgeon: $700. (Note: These were not covered by my medical insurance.)
2) New passport photographs; these needed to be less than a month old... so these had to be newly taken photographs
3) Notarization/ Courier charges: Approximately $100 (Some amount expended in foreign currency)
All of the money spent, as well as the time and efforts were rendered useless by the new bulletin on July 2, 2007, which I repeat, was published AFTER the window opened for new applications on the morning of July 2, 2007.
My point is, and I believe anyone with common sense would agree, it is only fair to expect a notice period before a reversal such as this one. Preferably... weeks of notice if not days! I am sure no US Citizen would accept anything less for a notice in such an important matter!
I would implore you to look into this matter as soon as you can, and request the USCIS to accept Adjustment of Status applications filed through July 2007.
Thank you.
Truly,

Currently I am on H1B visa. My labor petition and I-140 were approved sometime last year. I have been on H1B for many years now and my current H1-B is valid till 2010. My wife is on a H1-B visa too. Her labor petition and I-140 were approved too last year.
I have been admitted to some of the top ranking business schools full-time MBA program and intend to join one of those. I understand that transfer to F-1 status might be challenging. Hence I was planning to transfer to H4 status. School starts in Sept and I plan to be working till end of August. My question is : When do I need to file the I-539 change of status from H1 to H4 ? There is no date on the form I-539 that I can request my status change to be effective from. Also there is no guideline as to when my H4 status application may be approved. If I file now and it gets approved quickly, I cannot work for my employer and would have to sit at home. However, if I wait till end of August, then resign, how fast do I need to file for the H4 change of status ? Would the school have any issues if the approval is pending and I wanted to start classes. (Note I do have H1 valid till 2010, but once I quit my job I may no longer be in H1 status). Most schools did not have any accurate answer and hence I am throwing it at you gurus.

Remember Lame duck session. Now imagine having twice as many members, double the number of phone calls and faxes and emails. Double the activity and contributions.
We do have to make sure that next time (read: Jan 2007) We go with a bigger organisation. What is the use of talking strategy or doing things with the same number of people.
Leave the strategy to the core team, Please help out with adding members.
I agree , Members need URGENTLY help adding more members .. the least , add one more member to the forum SOON.

Last month (July 17) I e-filed EAD and AP for both me and my wife. My wife's AP got approved couple of days back.
I was looking at the receipt notices and observed that the priority date is missing on the notices. Observed the same issue with my 485 receipt too.
Does anyone else have the same issue? Is that a problem?

Bring it on :p. I am on round 32 of Turbokick's. Six and half years of practice and I love it.
Just for Fun ... Take it easy. Great to have you on the team
I have been swimming and strength training for quite some time now and have started kettle bells and Taek Won Do this year. I do see a lot of women working out. All I am saying is that these forums have a lower proportion of females.......pure statistics.
And yes; there are a lot of females working out and the ones who do take up martial arts are more serious than the guys. However the most common excuse cited by the ones who hesitate to take up running/walking, is security. I am trying to get the ones who are not working out to get out; the ones who are; have a lot of tenacity.
.............BTW, be nice to me. By the time you come to DC to run the race, I might have my brown belt :)
