This is from my lawyer,
"What Are the Immigration Consequences of the Government Shutting Down?
As Congress continues its budgetary deadlock, the possibility of a government shutdown looms larger by the minute. If Congress is unable to reach accord on Friday, the government will close at midnight, Saturday April 9.
In general, if the government shuts for budgetary reasons, all but "essential" government are furloughed and not allowed to work. So what does this mean for immigration agencies?
USCIS: A couple of shutdown threats back, a USCIS official stated at a stakeholder engagement that USCIS (other than the human touches on E-Verify) would not need to shut down, since all of the agency, other than E-Verify, is funded by fees. However, it is not clear that this is the case, and at least one local office has indicated that it is working on its shutdown plan. We will update as we get more information.
DOS: If there is a shutdown, the result for DOS will likely be the same as it was in the 1996 government closing. Then, the only visa issuance being done was for some diplomats and for "life or death" situations. As DOS is wont to say "a really, really important business meeting is not life or death."
CBP: Inspection and law enforcement are considered "essential personnel," though staffing may be more limited than usual. The borders will be open, and CBP is unsure of how the shutdown will affect the processing of applications filed at the border.
EOIR: EOIR has been advised to "put its shutdown plans in place." As with other agencies, personnel who are not considered "essential" will be furloughed. EOIR has indicated that the detained docket would likely be considered an essential function and would therefore be able to continue in operation.
DOL: DOL is making plans for a possible shutdown. If there is a shutdown, DOL personnel will not be available to respond to e-mail or other inquiries. We do not know at this point whether iCERT/PERM would continue to function. However, because the systems require funding to run, practitioners should assume that they would not be available."

with your attorney and employer. There is nothing you can gain by worrying about it. If they issue an RFE, then you will ready.
USCIS will not outright deny applications with mistakes as far as I can tell (I am no expert). There may be RFEs or NOID to which you can take proper action.

I guess, this may not be an as important an issue as "getting the GC"..:p
But some people may care more about it than others...especially who have a long list of family members to be brought in :)

I dont think so..
but you never know..
But my guess is as long as your employer will give you a letter saying they will hire you once your GC is approved, you should be good..as GC is for future employment.

Job visas only for highly skilled, salaried foreigners: govt (http://in.news.yahoo.com/20/20101020/1416/tnl-job-visas-only-for-highly-skilled-sa.html)
Wed, Oct 20 03:12 PM
New Delhi, Oct 20 (PTI) In an attempt to prevent foreigners from getting non-technical jobs, the government has made it clear that citizens of other countries will be taken only for highly-skilled assignments in India and should draw an annual salary of over USD 25,000. In an order, the Home Ministry nullified a Labour Ministry circular which allows one per cent foreigners among the total work force in any project with a minimum of five and maximum of 20 people. "An employment visa is granted to a foreigner if the applicant is a highly skilled and/or qualified professional, who is being engaged or appointed by a company/organisation/ industry/undertaking in India on contract or employment basis," according to the Home Ministry guidelines. Besides, the ministry made it clear that employment visa shall not be granted for jobs for which qualified Indian are available and also for routine, ordinary or secretarial/ clerical jobs. "The foreign national being sponsored for an employment visa in any sector should draw a salary in excess of USD 25,000 per annum," it says. However, this condition of annual floor limit on income will not apply to ethnic cooks, language teachers (other than English), staff working for the Embassy/High Commission concerned in India. The Labour Ministry had ordered that visa applications could be cleared by the Indian missions abroad at their level if the foreign national is skilled and qualified professional, technical experts, senior executives or in managerial positions and those kinds of skills which are not available in India.

Please while protesting, Try to position yourself in ways where the society will accept you. I took sociology and learnt a great deal and I feel minorities need to find a common ground and establish themselves with a new society. Please do not make them detest us or bully us in anyway. The racial slur will hurt our Commitment toward fair immigration. Mexicans brought US flags and acted like they are " them" - the common people of USA. We should win hearts by CONNECTING WITH CULTURE and SOCIETY WHICH WILL BE HOME FOR US IN YEARS TO COME.
COME CASUAL. WEAR CLOTHES THAT PEOPLE IDENTIFY YOU WITH. FIND WAYS A COMMON AMERICAN MAN CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR SENTIMENT. I AM POSITIVE THIS WILL WORK. IT CREATES UNDERSTANDING THROUGH ESTABLISHING SIMILARITY.
GO WELL DRESSED, WE ARE EDUCATED. WE ARE SMART. MEN NICELY SHAVEN, GOOD CLOTHES - THAT RELATES WITH SOCIETY. AND FANTASTIC SLOGANS. CATCHY AND BOLD. RIVETING AND CAPTURING.
Thank you. Hope it helps. A new perspective is always refreshing and glad I am able to bring to you my sociological perspective from AMERICAN school.
PS: I know some may disagree and that is fine too. But what I feel is, we are bullied sometimes you know as " curry" "smelly indians", Dirty hindus because we slack at times and take things lightly but as minorities we need to understand we have to work harder to go into the threads of American society but at the same time keeping our values and principles in place. STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR PROSPERITY AND JUSTICE. PREVAIL THE JUST.
PUT IT SIMPLY : MY WISH IS WHEN COMMON AMERICAN PUBLIC LOOK AT US, THROUGH THEIR TELEVISIONS OR WHATEVER FORM, THEY MUST FEEL " WE NEED THEM, WHAT A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY" AND THAT COMES THROUGH ETIQUETTE AND GOOD PUBLIC PROJECTIONS BOTH PHYSICAL PROJECTIONS AND OUR EMOTIONAL FRAME WHICH REFLECTS OUR INTELLECT AND WHERE WE CAME FROM. NO MORE BLOODY,SMELLY TAGS TO US. LET US SHOW THEM WE ARE TOO FORWARD THINKERS AS THE WESTERN SOCIETY!!

I understand AP is like your visa stamp. I94 shows your status and not a visa stamp.
As a known fact,You may show to IO at port of entry only when it is valid and not expired.
You may also apply for an extension only when you wish to travel out and want to come in using AP.

Hello Gurus,
Pl guide me and let me know my options for the below scenario...
1. Me: Applied under EB2 (India) and have I-140 approved in September 2006.
Status as of now : Applied as dependent (secondary) on my spouse 485 and have EAD and AP since July 2007.
2. My spouse : Primary applicant - EB3 (India), December 2003.
As the dates are NOT moving forward for EB3 (India), I want to port our GC application dates from my spouse priority ( EB3- India - December 2003) to mine (EB2 - India - September 2006)
My question is, Can I change my status from dependent (secondary ) on my spouse 485 to me being primary applicant by invoking my approved I-140 (EB2 - India - September 2006), If YES what would be the process.
Thanks in advance
You cant port because it is different labor of two different people. As far as I know, when the EB2 (India - September 2006), labor date is current, you can file another 485 as primary and your spouse as dependent. Optionally, you can choose to withdraw your previous filings. Hope, this helps. Others can throw some light on this.

I have both EB3 and EB2 labor approved and EB2 I-140 approved for the same job requirement in the same company. Here're some details:
labor PD : 03/2005 (EB3)
labor PD : 12/2006 (EB2),
I-140 approved (EB2)
I-485 Applied : 07/2007 with approved EB2 I-140
Is it possible to use my EB3�s PD for my EB2 application? If so, what�s the procedure.
Thanks a lot!
You can get your EB3 PD. Your lawer needs to write to the USCIS to port your PD. Attorney here would give you more details and wait for them to respond.

http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html seems to have a list of various studio strobes and their voltages.
Note that ISO 10330 specifies 24V, so ideally the camera ought to handle that much.
http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/index2.html#trigger have additional information. (including a link to Wein Safe-Sync HS which you can use in case you want to make absolutely sure your camera is safe)
As for E-TTL, with studio strobes you'll end up using a flashmeter. E-TTL does not factor into the equation.

If your 485 is denied, all derivative benefits like EAD/AP are also lost. You therefore can't use EAD for another job even if 6 months have elapsed.
