First ever Nuclear Power Plant in AndhraPradesh

-

Be it an Election frenzy or true intentions to uplift, the ruling Congress party has approved the first Nuclear Power plant for Andhra Pradesh. The Government has reportedly accepted the proposal by AP Gen Co. The site location most probably could be around Cuddapah, while Srikakulam is also under consideration.

More good news ..

Two more Ultra Thermal Power Station proposals by AP Gen Co have also been approved.  Combining this news with already under construction of  500MW extension to Vijayawada and another 4000MW coming off from the Reliance power plant at Krishnapatnam, the future looks much brighter for Andhra Pradesh in particular and whole country in general.

Why Last Minute Approvals ... could well be Elections !!

As readers of this blog note, all approvals for Power plants and land allocation for some, came within last 2 months. We suspect, looming elections could be a clear cut reason. Finalizing on proposals to go forward (at least looks like moving forward) would be a great addition to bolster the 'Growth' economy under Congress, the party would like to highlight.

If people really understand the impact and use their brains to vote, this could be a stealer.

USCIS Selects Final H1B Petitions by Random Selection - Almost a 50% chance for each Application

-
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that on April 12 it conducted the computer-generated random selection process to determine which H-1B petitions, subject to the congressionally mandated H-1B cap for fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008), would continue to final processing. USCIS completed this determination ahead of the preliminary schedule noted on April 3, when it announced it had received enough petitions to meet the cap for FY 2008. The 123,480 cap-subject petitions received on April 2 and 3 were labeled with unique numerical identifiers and selected randomly by computer. The chosen numerical identifiers were then transmitted to the appropriate service center for further processing.

H1B 2008:USCIS released Preliminary Numbers

-
USCIS today released the final count of number of unique pieces of mail received for H1B petitions. It received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. I guess, each piece of mail will ' mostly ' contain more than one petition, as no company would send each petition in a seperate package and its most unlikely that a firm applies for just one petition. Probably by the end of next week, we might know the actual number of H1B petitions filed and how lucky one must be to get through the initial filter. Source: USCIS Releases Preliminary Number of FY 2008 H-1B Cap Filings  (26KB PDF) 04/05/2007 During Monday and Tuesday, USCIS received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. This is lower that the original USCIS estimate of 150,000. USCIS based the initial estimate on amounts from manifests received along with the mail. USCIS reached the updated number following a physical count of the mail. Each piece of mail may contain more than one H-1B pe...
