Immigrant Visas
Visa Processing Fee Payment
Due to ongoing technical difficulties, the Immigrant Visa Unit is temporarily unable to accept credit card payments. Visa processing fees may be paid for in cash (U.S. dollar or Philippine pesos), traveler's check or U.S. Postal Money Order.
The Department of State is aware of USCIS's decision to begin expediting I-130 petitions filed by U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Upon receiving approved, expedited I-130 petitions for Filipino beneficiaries from USCIS, the Department of State's National Visa Center (NVC) will schedule immigrant visa (IV) interviews for the U.S. Embassy in Manila as resources allow.
At this time, the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Manila is processing IV applications that were scheduled prior to Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda, in addition to an increasing number of expedited cases for applicants in regions affected by the typhoon. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, and applicants with a priority date that is before the cut-off date of their visa category, can still schedule an appointment in November and December as long as they are resident in any of the affected areas. All other locally scheduled appointments will need to be scheduled in January and February.
The State Department's website (http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html) contains information on the movement of priority dates and visa availability.
Welcome to the Immigrant Visa Unit Homepage
You should be able to find answers to many of your questions about the immigrant visa process on this website.

Notice to Immigrant Visa Applicants
Effective September 1, 2013, the DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa Application & Registration, and DS-261, Choice of Address and Agent will replace the paper-based DS-230, Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration (parts I and II) and the DS-3032, Choice of Address and Agent. The DS-260 and DS-261 are fully integrated online electronic visa application forms used to collect the necessary application information from persons seeking immigrant visas. These online forms are completed and submitted online to the Department of State via the Internet through the Consular Electronic Applications Center (CEAC). The forms may be partially completed, saved online to finish, and submitted later; or the forms can be completed and submitted in a single session.
To determine if your petition began processing in time to join the program and to access Form DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa Application, and Form DS-261, Choice of Address and Agent, click Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website. After logging in, follow the directions displayed noting the following:
- If CEAC provides you with the option of completing a DS-260 (note it may be grayed-out because you have not paid your Immigrant Visa Fee), you are required to complete the DS-260.
- If CEAC provides you with online payment information only, you are NOT required to complete the DS-260.
- If your petition did not go through the NVC process (for example, you filed your petition overseas), your invoice ID number will be the principal applicant's date of birth (YYYYMMDD).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Review the DS-260 FAQs if you must complete the online DS-260 form.
If you have questions or need assistance, please click Online Immigrant Visa Forms or contact the NVC.

- Good Quality ProductReview by Wendy
For the price I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fabric and the fit. In addition, the chair covers were clean - I was concerned because someone had a review and said they received chair covers which had stains.(Posted on 2/18/14)
Each chair cover came in it's own clear plastic bag... which was a good thing as I was concerned about the product I'd ordered as the shipping box was beat up with a few tears. I recommend LinenTabkecloths use smaller boxes. This was a huge heavey box (I ordered 110 chair covers for my wedding) and the shipping box looked like it had been thrown around and beat up! It probably was on the bottom of other boxes as it was so big and heavy.
Fortunately the chair covers were fine and they were all individually wrapped in plastic bags which protected them.

Read Later Mozilla Add-on
Matt Brubeck, newcomer to the Mozilla Fennec Fox team, has released his Read Later extension for mobile browsers that provides offline webpage reading.
The Read Later add-on allows users to save webpages in a list for further offline reading. The Fennec extension not only stores addresses but also a local copy of the page to allow users to read it later without Internet access.
Seattleite Brubeck apparently wrote Read Later to teach himself XUL and write Fennec extensions. For it he used code from the Readability bookmarklet that reduces clutter in mobile device browsers.
The Read Later 1.1.1 extension is available on Mozilla's Add-ons page, albeit only the Fennec 1.1 developer build is available. The code is under Apache 2.0 licensing.

Big Band Report
"Lone Wolf" Finds Plenty to Chew On
Tom Matta Big Band
Self Published
With so many high-caliber big bands, college and professional, on the scene today, one sure way to separate the sheep from the goats, so to speak, lies in the quality of music they perform, and it is here that the Tom Matta Big Band has a decided advantage. Matta's name and reputation are well known among jazz fans in the Chicago area, not so much elsewhereand that's too bad, as the Minnesota native's knack for writing tasteful and exciting big-band charts is second to none. Matta wrote and arranged every number on Components, his debut as leader after years of playing in and writing for groups of various sizes in his adopted hometown, and the end result is a series of sharp and colorful themes that exemplify the best in contemporary big-band music-making.
Nowadays, almost no big-band album is complete without "Another Shuffle," and Matta places his at the forefront, a sunny refrain that cushions earnest solos by pianist Jeremy Kahn and trumpeter Bob Lark, Matta's teaching colleague at Chicago's DePaul University. The breezy "Time to Spare" embodies forceful statements by trombonist Steve Horne, trumpeter Marques Carroll and tenor saxophonist Mark Colby who is out front again, this time with pianist Ron Perrillo, on the deceptively powerful "Components." Matta slows the pace on "August Dreams," a handsome ballad whose discerning solos are delivered by Kahn and trombonist Tom Garling. As there are no liner notes, one must guess to whom "For Gil" was written; Gil Evans, perhaps? In any case, it's a laid-back tune whose melody brings to mind the standard "Time on My Hands" and on which alto saxophonist Chris Madsen and guitarist Mike Pinto share blowing space. "Eleventh Hour," written for trumpeter Rob Parton's band, is the session's flag-waver, Lark and tenor Dan Nicholson its ardent soloists. Nicholson, Pinto and trombonist Tim Coffman are suitably enlivened on the seductive finale, "Next Season."
Even though Matta's name may not ring a bell, don't let that dissuade you. His c.v. is impeccable, his talents exceptional, and he has gathered around him a number of the finest jazz musicians Chicago has to offer (we've not even mentioned the splendid rhythm section, securely anchored by drummer Bob Rummage and including Pinto, pianists Perrillo or Kahn, and bassists Dennis Carroll or Joe Policastro). These are among the Components that help raise Matta's debut above the ordinary and make it an extra special experience.
Sandviken Big Band
In Concert, Vols. 1 and 2
In Concert,
Vols. 1 and 2, encompassing live performances by Sweden's world-class Sandviken Big Band, is not a two-CD set but separate albums recorded at concerts in 2008, 2011 and 2012. In terms of perspective and content, the albums couldn't be more dissimilar. Vol. 1 is comprised mainly of late-model original compositions with a couple of standards thrown in to water down the heady brew, while Vol. 2 welcomes clarinetist Krister Andersson in a program devoted for the most part to classic songs from the Swing Era, again with a handful of standards and other themes presented as counterweight. In both cases, however, the Sandviken Big Band is the headliner, and that is always a plus.

No Safe Placeby Joann Ross
Chicago homicide detective Kate Delaney fiercely defends victims. Which is why -- despite death threats -- she's testifying to a federal grand jury about local police corruption.

As an ex-cop from a police family, New Orleans PI Nick Broussard knows that cops live by their own code. You don't rat out a fellow officer. The last thing he needs is some smart-mouthed, by-the-book outsider unknowingly injecting herself into his undercover search for the truth. Even worse is the way she conjures up visions of tangled sheets. . . . Nick and Kate's chase pits them against the criminal underworld of the sultry southern city. And as they peel away layers of deadly deception, they discover a dark secret too many are willing to kill to keep.

With the homicide rate escalating as fast as the mercury, the last thing Joe needs is a stubborn, argumentative reporter -- particularly not an outsider from Washington, D. C. , who triggers a sexual jolt at every encounter -- spinning her crazy conspiracy theories. But while he may not entirely believe Laurel Stewart, Joe can't stop himself from wanting her. Thrown together by necessity, drawn together by passion, Laurel and Joe follow a twisted trail into the darkest corners of the sultry, moss-draped city to uncover a secret someone is willing to kill to keep.

iPad Remote with Apple TV and Home share
Last night I finally got around to testing my setup. I have an ATV3 hooked up to the TV via HDMI. ATV is using wifi. I have my PC running itunes, with it's iTunes library sitting on NAS, connected via ethernet. I have home sharing turned on on all devices.
On the ATV3, I can see my computer and am able to stream content from Itunes/NAS straight to it, no problems. The problem arises when I try to use the iPad as a remote. Firstly, it seems to struggle to see my iTunes library running on the PC. I had to restart it a couple of times before my content appeared in Videos/Music on the ipad. This caused the same problem when trying to use it to tell the ATV to stream content from itunes. Sometimes it just did nothing. I presume this was due to the fact that the ipad had lost connection to itunes again, although it could still see the ATV in the remote app. On the 1 occasion I had all 3 devices talking to each other, I told the ATV to play a movie, using the remote app. I could hear the audio playing on the TV but the video didn't appear. I just got the name of the movie along the bottom of the screen, next to the list of content?? Confused and needing some help!!
|Feb 20, 2013, 08:38 AM
I initially had a few problems with my ATV stopping in the middle of a movie while using wifi.
I bit the bullet and ran a cat-5 cable from the router to the ATV and have not had a problem since.
I like the Apple Remote app on the iPad and iPhone, though when I choose a movie on the iPad and press 'play' it defaults to 'computer' (the movie begins playing on my Mac Mini) so I have to select 'Apple TV' from the AirPlay icon in the upper right of the iPad screen to have it play on my TV. Everytime.
Once, reciently, I tried to play a movie from the iPad, and it began playing - though there was no sound --- just the opposite of your issue. I used the Apple TV remote - the metal one that came with the ATV - and chose the same movie using the ATV interface on the TV screen - then the movie played just fine.
I have not installed the latest software update to my ATV.
I hope some part of this may help you...

That is the intended purpose from Apple. You can control either you iTunes on your computer OR your ATV. Yes if you are browsing your iTunes content from your iPad using the remote app you can airplay it to the ATV, but you can also control your ATV from the remote app and browse your content on your ATV.
