i've been in the US on a f-1 visa since 2006. i am getting my masters at the moment. i am planning on getting married to my girlfriend who is a US citizen. i have been with her for the past 2 years and am dearly in love with her. we plan on getting married and i was wondering if i get married to her, can i apply for a green card right away or do i have to wait for a while before i can apply for a green card. she is also a student getting her bachelors.
my second question is that if i can apply for a green card then could i take a semester off and return to studying next semester or would that be a problem since i am on an F-1 visa.
i would appreciate it if i could get an answer soon so that i could take the semester off.
thanks.

Current visa: F-1
Nationality: Pak
OPT starts June 2011
H-1b approved starts Oct 2011
Job starts August 2011 (cannot work remotely and not more than 1 month leave)
Name starts with a common Muslim name 'M-'
Parents frequently come to the US but I may need to travel to Pakistan for emergencies or perhaps to get married. Should I go to Pakistan or Canada for H-1b stamping or is too risky with the lengthy administrative processing (221-g)?

For those of you that have NOT contributed and RETROGRESSION is affecting your lives.
Wake up and do something for yourselves!!
What is the matter with you folks??
Why does it have to be pointed out time and again, that by contributing, not only are you strengthening IVs hands but this will eventually allow you to achieve your goals and improve your lives.
Is this a big task?
At least stay united for ONE cause in your lives.
All that is needed is a small contribution, nobody is asking for blood or your first born!!

Some paras from The Myth of the Middle (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/28/AR2007022801817.html)
One explanation for all this is that politicians are acting against the will of their compromise-loving constituents. Another is that Republicans and Democrats are simply being good representatives. We think the evidence supports the second interpretation.
The Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES) surveyed more than 24,000 Americans who voted in 2006. The Internet-based survey compiled by researchers at 30 universities produced a sample that almost perfectly matched the national House election results: 54 percent of the respondents reported voting for a Democrat, while 46 percent said they voted for a Republican. The demographic characteristics of the voters surveyed also closely matched those in the 2006 national exit poll. If anything, the CCES respondents claimed they were more "independent" than those in the exit poll.
The CCES survey asked about 14 national issues: the war in Iraq (the invasion and the troops), abortion (and partial birth abortion), stem cell research, global warming, health insurance, immigration, the minimum wage, liberalism and conservatism, same-sex marriage, privatizing Social Security, affirmative action, and capital gains taxes. Not surprisingly, some of the largest differences between Democrats and Republicans were over the Iraq war. Fully 85 percent of those who voted for Democratic House candidates felt that it had been a mistake to invade Iraq, compared with only 18 percent of voters who cast ballots for Republicans.
When we combined voters' answers to the 14 issue questions to form a liberal-conservative scale (answers were divided into five equivalent categories based on overall liberalism vs. conservatism), 86 percent of Democratic voters were on the liberal side of the scale while 80 percent of Republican voters were on the conservative side. Only 10 percent of all voters were in the center. The visual representation of the nation's voters isn't a nicely shaped bell, with most voters in the moderate middle. It's a sharp V.
The evidence from this survey isn't surprising; nor are the findings new. For the past three decades, the major parties and the electorate have grown more divided -- in what they think, where they live and how they vote. It may be comforting to believe our problems could be solved if only those vile politicians in Washington would learn to get along. The source of the country's division, however, is nestled much closer to home.

Permanent Program
For PERM, 73.8 percent of applications were processed within six months, exceeding the target
of 65 percent, though performance declined from the prior years. PERM performance was
affected by the reallocation of resources to eliminate an applications backlog in the H-2B
Temporary Non-agricultural Program. In FY 2008, the DOL will closely monitor
implementation of the Fraud Rule for impact upon PERM processing and redirect resources that
were used to eliminate the H-2B backlog to the PERM program as needed. Keeping these
factors in mind, the target for PERM application processing within six months will be 76% by
FY 2009.

Try taking the main battery AND the "clock" battery out. Leave them out for at least 15 minutes [longer is fine]. Then re-insert clock battery and then main battery.
Check that there's no buttons being stuck in.
