I never got kWordpad to do this for me. Though after you mentioned it, I went back and took another look. I noticed that if upon opening the window, I clicked on the Bold button first and then went and began typing, the Bold button would return to an unChecked state and my text would not be bold. However if I first clicked once inside of the rich textbox and then clicked the bold button, when I started typing the text would be bold.
So I went into the source and added: "this.MainRichTextBox.Focus();" directly benieth “InitializeComponent” to the Window1.xaml.cs file, so that the rich textbox would already have been ‘clicked’ upon opening and now it works just like wordpad as far as applying styles.
Are you getting similar behavior or not? If its working differently for you, is there any chance you know whats happening here?
Either way, thanks for making me take a second look. And just while I have you on the line, I want to tell you I love the website. The tutorials here are great. Most sites simply give snippits, but don’t give you all of how they achieved this or that feature. So its nice to know that when I start something here, all of the info I need to finish it or get it working is included. I'm looking forward to more in the WPF field.
Thanks again.
P.S. Just as a side note I was curious why you have:
private void SelectDefaultFont()
{
FontFamilyCombo.SelectedValue = "Arial";
}
in the Window1.xaml.cs file when the Selected Index is already set in Expression Blend (0).
Just for fun I changed it to: SelectedValue=”Calibri” in the C# file and left the Selected index in Expression Blend at 0. Now when I run kWordpad the combo box has Calibri set as the defualt but resets to Arial as soon as I begin typing in the rich textbox.
What makes this really odd to me is that if it is being set by the selected index in Expression Blend, then the selected index would have to be set at 9 on my computer in order for it to choose Arial as the default (for me 0 is Abyssinica SIL). So where is it getting Arial from; and how is it that it is ignoring both the SelectedDefaultFont and the SelectedIndex? I realize this may seem tedius, but I just hate not knowing... "to be continued" at the end of a tv show makes me nuts too; I'm seeking help.

Maybe people should also post messages in Mandarin,Tamil,Telugu,Swahili taken from famous songs. That way the forums will be truly diverse.

now they are saying it as "Priority Appointment" and the link is available when you create the application. so get HDFC receipt which is valid for 1yr and create an application, fill DS-156/157, add your dependents if any and then you will see a page which has link "priority appointment".
so now you can see this only after creating the application, vfs changed it. you can email vfs site for details.
Disclaimer: I'm not an immigration attroney, so please consult one for your situations as laws/procedures are changing constantly.
Interesting..If I visit VFS in person when I'm in Chennai, How soon will I get the appointment. My visa expires in Feb'07 and I'm going to Chennai for 3 weeks in Nov. So If I don't get appt I can always try for the next trip..

Thank you for information
What if I fall on category EB-3 and not from India and China. Can my employer still file it ? This is because the minimum requirement for this job is a Bachelors Degree even though I do have a masters degree.
Welcome to my world - EB3 ROW. You may file your I-140 now and wait until your priority date becomes current to file I-485. But EB3 ROW is currently retrogressed and unless a legislation is passed to bring relief, you may not be able to file I-485 until about 4 years from today.
Believe me you are not alone. My employers filed in EB3 for me even though I have a Bachelor plus 20 years of IT experience.
Another option is to find another employer and job that meets EB2 requirements. I am seriously considering that in my case.

I think this should be split out to another thread.
If we start out by strictly looking at NEW equipment, and base body+lens price of less than $1000:
- Canon
EOS Rebel XT: $880
- Konica Minolta
Maxxum 5D: $700
- Nikon
D50: $650
- Olympus
E-volt 300: $650
E-volt 500: $720
E-1: $940
- Pentax
*ist DL: $750
Prices from B&H Photo - www.bhphotovideo.com - there may well be better offers available, but the local camera shop probably wants a few dollars more... Which may or may not be worth it, depending on whether you value the fact that you can go to the local store for help and advice or prefer e-mail and phone help if something goes wrong...
All of these have their own pro's and con's. If you want a good selection of lenses and other "extras", the Canon will be first, Nikon second, Konica Minolta in third, a fair bit behind, and everything else sharing a pretty far behind fourth place. This, of course, may not be an issue - if all you want is two or three (or one) generic lens and a basic flash you'll be fine with any choice.
The pixel count is 8MP for Canon and Olympus, whilst the others have 6MP. Again, this may or may not be important for you.
As to "which is best", it's VERY MUCH a personal preference - and a case of which features are important to you as a photographer.
I didn't list the ones that are a little more than $1000 - you get quite a few more to choose from if you go to $1200 or so - and with faster action and bigger buffer (for those action sequences).
As Puncher mentioned, used digital cameras are an option - you can get one that is a year or two old, which has much higher spec than the new ones for the same money.
Without some further discussion on what's important to you, it's not an easy choice.

AFAIK, you will start accruing unlawful status once your 485 denied and you do not have a non-immigrant to status to backup. You should stop working. You will regain the status (i.e. pending AOS) only after the MTR is approved.
If you can post the legal references to support your point, it will really help many IVans.
You are right, what i meant to say is that a MTR turnaround time is usually less than 6 months. And its not that the I-485 keeps getting denied more than once. For one denial, assuming a turn around time of 4-5 months, its still within 180 days of the 'allowed' time to work while out of status.

As far as I know, your only options to get GC are:
-- DREAM ACT (which is not something you can control)
-- Marry a US Citizen (which obviously is something you can consider)
In the meantime, whatever you do, do not go out of the country.
Roseball,
I really appreciate your input and I think I know my situation pretty clear at this point. :)

Vivek Dude, I don't know about that...
After speaking to my lawyer, it is my understanding that when you use EAD or AP, you are no longer on H1 and it is considered AOS. However, you can reapply for H1 after you use your AP...As far as I know AP does have an affect on your immigration status...Please someone correct me if you know for sure that AP does not affect H1/H4 status...
For the OP, please consult with other lawyers or chat with someone on free immigration lawyer chat forums...
AP - Is for travel purpose,no connection to your work status in US.
EAD - is your work status .If you use it your H1b is envalid.

Let us see next month when EB2I will start getting lot of approvals. How many IV members contribute once they get GCs.
The problem here is, that once people get their GC, most cannot wait to get away from this site. I mean forget the actual Green Cards, even once the July 2nd filers got their EADs/APs etc, the activity on this forum has DRASTICALLY reduced.
Is it just me, or post the July 02 2007 filings, IV has been reduced to an "information only" kinda website BY ITS OWN MEMBERS? These days we simply post questions and expect answers, almost nothing seems to be happening. Everyone is content to enjoy the benefits of the I-485 filing and a lot of members have simply stopped visiting the site altogether.
So we can float this idea again, but the point is how many people will actually DO IT? I have started the "Give me a HIGH FIVE" campaign, where all the member has to do is contribute JUST $5.00. Yes JUST $5.00, nothing more. So far we have barely made $3,000. There are atleast 20,000 members who have no problems posting questions and "demanding" responses, but they cannot open their wallets even to the tune of $5.00. Do you really think, such members will contribute $100 AFTER they have already received their Green cards??

what about the people who are beyond their 6 year H1B term -extending it every year. The USCIS website does not provide any indication for those.
Looks like it applies only to people with 6 year term expiring and labor applied/approved < 365 days. A very small subset of people perhaps but they needed immediate relief.

Is there are rule governing how far in advance( before the current EAD expires) we can apply for EAD renewal? Is it ok to apply 7 months in advance?
The usual thumb rule for USCIS is 6 months in advance for any renewal or extensions.

The only time they keep an original is the first time. After that they never keep the original but return it to you when you return.
My wife and I only had 2 AP originals when we applied last year and made 2 trips outside the US. So relax and dont worry. You're fine.
Got my AP in the mail yesterday but have only 2 originals, last time I got 3 so any idea if I will be able to make more than 2 trips out of the country?

So my employer reappealed it, now the status of my I-140 is showing as "Sent to AAO" would like to know if there are any chance's of getting I140 approved? Did anyone had this kind of issue. Please reply!
Thank you.

I think that to move to EB2 with the same employer, it may be possible to count experience from the same employer if the new role you are moving to is atleast 50% different from what you are doing in your current role.
I am not an attorney and so you should consult one about this, though. Can anyone who knows this comment?

Can you please provide links. And also provide the numbers.
Yesterday after a long time I was reading the Labor cert section on immigrationportal.com. I havent felt the need to read that section since my LC was approved in October 2005.
I was amazed at the number of EB3 cases being approved with PD's in 01 and 02 as well as EB2 cases in 02 and 03.
No doubt dates arent moving. More and more ppl are choking the pipeline. We are screwed if numbers arent increased.

Hi,
I'm looking for some answers for my wife's visa issues. I'm on H1B (valid until 2010) and she is on OPT (Valid until Dec 20 2008. F-1 visa expired May 2008). My PERM labor is in process and we hope to file for I 140 and I 485 and EAD concurrently by September/ October 2008. My lawyer says that we can file concurrently because my wife's country of birth is in Europe.
Now the questions:
1. Is it okay for my wife to apply for EAD based in I 485 while on OPT with expired F-1 visa? Is there a requirement that wife has to be on H-4 to apply for EAD based on husband's GC application?
Each individual will have his/her I-485, and EAD is a derived benefit of I-485. Your wife can file for I-485 while on OPT and get EAD. However, technically her F-1 status, hence the OPT, terminates after applying for I-485 (since she expresses intent to immigrate).
2. Also read on some forums that Wife's F-1 OPT will be invalidated as soon as her I 485 application is recieved. Is this true?
Conservative view is that as soon as her I-485 is officially submitted (i.e., received by USCIS), she has expressed intent to immigrate, which invalidates her F-1 (note that OPT is not a status, she is still in F1).
3. EAD approval takes 3-4 months on average. So if she doesn't recieve her EAD approval by December 2008 (Dec 20 2008 her OPT expires) she will be out of status. Should we apply for H-4 so that she doesn't become out-of-status?
That may be a better route. Once her H-4 is approved (with new I-94 form), her OPT will terminate and she will not be able to work.
4. We expect that her EAD approval will come by Jan/ Feb 2009. There is a 2 month gap provision that foreign nationals sometimes use to change their status. Is it a safe bet to avoid getting her on H-4 and use the 2 month gap period?
She cannot work while she is in H-4. There is no such thing as "2-month gap"!
4. How much does applying for H-4 cost? I'm simply expecting a range of sorts.
Thanks,
A. Singh
No idea. The application fee is probably a few 100 dollars. Not sure how much your lawyer would charge for preparing the application.

I ordered 8 Bonsai trees for relatives from http://4bonsai.com site and I just want to say that I am amazed by the service and would like to THANK them for the quick delivery!
They arrived quickly and evidently by all accounts in perfect condition! And
to top that they are the perfect gift each family member was quite impressed
with not only the Bonsai but the instructions that came along with them. My
Aunt was the most excited as she had killed a Bonsai tree earlier due to
lack of knowledge. I told her that there are various items for starters such as: Bonsai Seed kits, Ikebana, Specimen Bonsai, Bonsai specimen, Bonsai Tool kits, Bonsai Figurines, Feng Shui products, Feng Shui, Lucky Bamboo, Lucky Bamboo pots, Lucky Bamboo kits and
Bonsai humidity trays that she can choose from and there are even Bonsai Wholesale, Bonsai tree wholesale, Bonsai trees wholesale, and Bamboo wholesale for business minded persons or those who wants to have bulk orders for personal gifts. I recommend this site for all Bonsai lovers out there. Or is there a better site that offers a lot of Bonsai products?

Dear Folks:
A few questions on my Advanced Parole filing (with an 485 pending):
(1) What is the best explanation for Part 7 of the form I-131 which says, "On a seperate sheet of paper, please explain how you qualify for an advance parole document, and what circumstances warrant issuance of an advance parole."
(2) Approximately how long does the AP approval take, and for how long is the permit valid?
Thanks.
