Don't sweat it. I too overlooked this field during my last e-filing in 2008. The date of last arrival field is easy to miss, since it is embedded right under a set of "previous EAD" fields, some of which you would likely leave blank if you don't have too many previous EADs. I simply included this data item on a separate piece of paper with my supporting documentation. I didn't face any delays in my EAD approval...it was approved in a few weeks.
I don't think this is any cause for concern.
I guess USCIS IT department does not have the budget to hire a usability expert to review their e-filing forms. Some of those forms look like "hello world" projects. :)
This is my second renewal, first time did it online it was smooth! This time the online process seemed little different, they were asking for few info at a time and we got to click the continue button...I was just doing fine and was waiting that at some point it would show the complete application for me to review, but I got to the last page and said something like "Submit" or "Finish" and I did ...everything was ok got the confirmation....OOPS, left the date of last arrival blank! Had put the Port of arrival correct, but left the date blank!
How is this going to affect my EAD, anyone had similar experience ? In the confirmation, it had instructions that I will get notice for finger printing appt and other documents to be sent.
Really pissed off! Very bad mood today!
Can't the system check for missing information! Even mom & pop online services check for all information before accepting! Anyways, no excuse for me , I should have been careful!
Anyone who got a RFE for missing to information and how long it took after responding to the RFE, Please share your experiences!

This is looking down the stairs outside my office, saw this for the first time today. I had the wrong lens and no tripod, so I just shot a couple to get a feel for the motif. This was the least blurry of the bunch - handheld at 1/6s isn't my strongest skill. :)
What do you think, is this anything? It has been done a gadzillion times, but maybe one more is interesting? I'll go back this weekend when the place is empty, with a tripod, and get a bunch of different versions. Anything you'd advice in terms of composition, angle, lighting etc?

You didn't mention how you got paid. Cash? Check? Did you get a 1099? Did you file taxes? Does the IRS have a record of your earnings?
I received online payments via Paypal for buying/selling side of my business.
I have also received 1099's for the webdesign services I provided.
All in all, my combined income has been <$5K each year.
I have not yet filed my tax returns, but I did file sales tax with the State. My tax papers are ready just so you know, but I'm not certain whether I should file them, especially with such a low income.

Recently I was asked by a state University to submit additional documentation to prove my legal resident status in the United States after I presented I-485 receipt notice.
......
There is no status during the time I-485 is pending, unless, the person is maintaining other allowed non-immigrant status such as H-1, H-4, L-1, L-2. What commonly referred as "AOS status" is nothing but period of authorized stay.
The pendancy of an affirmative application for adjustment of status is designated as a period of stay authorized by the Secretary of Homeland Security, during which an applicant does not accrue unlawful presence.
http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/87120.pdf
[From the PDF file]
b. DHS has interpreted "period of stay authorized by the Secretary of Homeland Security" to include:
.......
........
(5) For aliens who have properly filed an application for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident (LPR), the entire period of the pendency of the application, even if the application is subsequently denied or abandoned, provided the alien did not file for adjustment "defensively" (i.e., after deportation proceedings had already been initiated) .....

The backlog centers have 10 fed govt employees and 100 guys from Exceed unless I am egregiously mistaken.
Why does any one think that those 100 guys will be left out with out any jobs? Wont the 10 fed guys be moved to Chicago/Atlanta NPC's with huge reloc benefits package? If they dont choose to move because of personal reasons, Do you know what kind of severance packages they get?
100 guys from Exceed will be definitely working for other fed agencies after they are done with this gig. IRS has a huge base in Philly and Exceed is a govt contractor. May be IT consultants need to learn from these folks..
"How NOT to get the work done in 5 years?"
B T W Does these places have any guys who are struck with their labor?

When did you receive the rfe letter in mail? Was there any LUD (last update date) on your case or any status change on the uscis website online?
Also can you please post your details like RD, ND also where was it sent and where was it transfered,.
Mine was NSC-> VSC-> TSC with RD july27th ND sep 27.
I am expecting rfe for medicals since my lawyer did not send my medical reports with the application :)
I got an RFE on I-485 for the incomplete medicals. The RFE says that a 'specific' test results are missing and they need that test results to complete my application. I went to the same doctor and the lady there said, I did take that 'specific' test last year when I had medicals, but doctor forgot to mention that results in I-693. She said she is going to fill out a new I-693 form with all the results including the missing one (from old results) and will give me that sealed cover. Will this be enough? or do I need to take that 'specific' tests now and send the results?
I am planning to send the results tomorrow overnite.
Also, my Immigration Office number is 009 with TSC. Anybody got any approvals from this IO?

Composition has been defined as "the strongest way of seeing" (IIRC, that's from Edward Weston, but I'm probably getting my photographers and quotations mixed up here). There are different ways to see the same thing. Flowers are a frequently-photographed object, and sometimes it can be hard to find a unique way to portray them. I'm not a terribly experienced photographer, and I don't really want to give any "rules" to follow to get a "good" picture, but here are a few guidelines you might consider as you get started:
Try to avoid a "busy" appearance, with too many subjects competing for attention (In my personal, humble, opinion, your picture has many clusters of flowers, and it's difficult to tell what exactly is the focus of the image).
Pay attention to what's in the background; go for contrast of brightness, color, or both. A low-angle shot, looking up at a medium blue flower against a blue sky, would probably not be the most visually stunning picture one could compose.
The "rule of thirds" is a good guideline for those of us (including myself) who haven't figured out when's a good time to break it and when's not. Imagine two horizontal lines and two vertical lines, dividing the picture into three equal segments horizontally and vertically. Near any one of the intersections of these lines is generally considered a visually strong point to place an important element of your composition.
For some subjects (flowers in particular), a shallow depth of field is recommended, as it helps lower the distractiveness of elements in the background. I think that in the shot you've posted here, opening up the aperture (setting a lower f-stop number) would have decreased the impact of the background flowers, and drawn more attention to the foreground one.
Oh, and feel free to experiment with all sorts of combinations. In my experience, the standard "looking down" angle of flower shot is less visually appealing, because that's the way we generally look at flowers when we are walking through the garden in our backyard (this is a simple property of physics, since most flowers tend to have considerably less height than the average human being ;)). Try out different angles and zoom settings to see what you find appealing (wide, or short focal length, to show more background behind the flower and give a longer depth of field - or far, a long focal length, to "compress" the background and provide a shorter depth of field to isolate the subject from its surroundings).
I'm sure other more experienced members will be able to do better (and probably already have, in the time I took to type up this verbose post), but perhaps this will give you something to think about while you wait for a better answer. :)
Edit: I realize that I made a few negative comments about your picture, without really saying anything positive. For one, I like the contrast of the flowers against the leaves behind them, and I think with a little Photoshop work this could be made even a little more striking. Let's not get lost in all the "rules" and "guidelines" and forget that this subject has lots of potential. I think with a slight change in angle, framing, and DOF, you'd be able to change a picture that may be mediocre to one that is very stunning.
Oh, and another suggestion that can be good for adding just a bit more interest to flowers is to photograph them when they have water droplets on them. Watering or misting the flowers just before you're ready to shoot can be a way to "supply" the drops if they are missing during the time of day when you feel that the lighting is at its best. :D

He gave example of Bill Clinton's health care immigration bill.
