I came to the United States by an H1B visa. The H1 visa was filed through my company's attorney which later I asked them to apply for my green card as well. Unfortunately, the attorney made several mistakes and I cancelled my contract with them. After some research and asking from friends and colleagues, I decided to go with the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna whose web site, immigration.com is well known. Obviously the cost was higher than our company's attorney but I used to hear lots of sad stories about how some unexperienced attornies lost the customer's hope, time, and money. So, I think it was really worth it because last week I received my green card after less than 3 years. This is a very good record for EB2 category. Another Iranian friend of mine took about 7 years to get his GC! Heather Riddick, Art Shifflett, Mathew Chacko, and Rajiv Khanna worked on my cases during this time and I am extremely satisfied by their experience, knowledge, care, and accuracy. Cheers to all of them and thanks again!

The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna have been helping me with my GC petition. Recently, my fiancee and I decided to get married, and I realized 2 weeks before my trip that I did not renew my Advanced Parole Document. Your law office was very quick to suggest that I apply for H1B visa (based on approved I-140) under Premium Processing. Rachel Nulty (Staunton, VA office) was my case manager, and she worked on the petition so meticulously that we got my H1B petition approved within 2 weeks in a timely fashion. I need to thank Rachel and the entire law firm for the professionalism you executed my case with. Your timely help with my H1B petition is extremely appreciated and is second to none. I am happy that I chose your law firm for my GC petition, and I am sure that we would be getting our GC in the near future.

EB2 or EB3

Question details

I have 7 years of experience with 3year bachelors degree + 2year masters degree from India.Job for which my GC is being filed is Bachelors degree+6yr experience. As per knowledge from different online sources 3year bach. degree+2year masters degree+5years progressive,post-masters exp.- Is considered as EB-2 Professionals with Advanced Degrees.My lawyer is saying since my bachelors(India)is a 3yr program & US bachelors degree is a 4yr program so my case falls under EB3 & not EB2. She also specified that under EB2 category the educational degree must be from a "single source" & not from combination of degrees.

Generally speaking, if BS and MS are in the same or similar fields, you should be able to combine them to arrive at a 4-year degree for EB2 purposes. You should have a shot at EB2.

My GC approved last week. My previous GC application filed by different attorney got rejected in 2005, and then I've contacted Rajiv for guidance in our case. On Rajiv's advise we started the new GC process. Labor approved in 7 days and I-140 in 21 days. All this because of Rajiv and his team’s exceptional service, dedication and knowledge. Big thanks to Rajiv Khanna!! Rajiv is a nice person and his advice through phone calls and emails helped us in resolving the issues. I would like to specially thank Matthew, Amrita, Bharathi, and Prerna for helping me to resolve issue and prompt in responding to emails. I would strongly recommend Law offices of Rajiv Khanna to anyone in the future who requires immigration assistance.

I got my physical Green Card today. It has been a long 4-5 years and I must say that it could have NOT been possible without the constant support, guidance, diligent and patient hard work put in by Mr. Rajiv S Khanna and his stellar team of Mathew Chacko, Prerna Mehta, Richa Narang and others who I have interacted with in the past and are probably no longer with the law firm. This team was always a step ahead, instantaneous in answering ANY questions whatsoever. I have even spoken to Mr Rajiv himself at one occasion since I was really concerned about some issues and even though being extremely busy was very nice in giving me a phone appointment the very next day. He, along with his team were very courteous, non judgemental and above all very humble in their approach and conversation. I could NOT have been able to get through with this entire process without them. I did not receive any RFE, everything was done in time and with utmost precision. Once again Many thanks from the bottom of my heart. Neeraj

A great big heartfelt thanks to the Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna. After much waiting I finally got my green card approved. It has been an excruciating 3 year wait since I filed my I485 and during these years every time I had a doubt with what I can or cannot do and with any travel related questions, I have had great support from the Law Office. A special thanks to Mathew Chacko and Prerna , whom I have been in touch with primarily over the past years. Mr Mathew Chacko's speedy response amidst his busy schedule is commendable and much appreciated. A big heartfelt thanks again and I am sure I will only think of this law office for all my legal needs. 

GC Processing and EB2

Question details

I have a Masters degree from US and based on the forum and Q&A I think I'd qualify for EB2 category for GC. I am with company A and am contemplating if I should go forward with GC processing or change the job. I am completing 4 yrs on H1 by this month end and would like to make an educated decision given the companies are not eager to hire on H1 if it is completing 6 yrs soon.
Can you please let me know how long the process may take if it has to be initiated now? I would be interested in premium processing of I-140, adjustment of status and EAD.

For people born in countries that have an EB2 backlog, times can vary greatly from 3-4 years to longer depending upon a number of variables. One big advantage of getting at least to the I-140 approved stage is that you can carry your priority date to the next employer and get H-1 extension beyond six years.

EB2 and Clinical Specialist

Question details

I have a concern regarding EB2 application in my current employer, I will complete my 5 years experience next year and they are willing to promote me as a Clinical Specialist to count my 1 year and 1/2 as a staff/lower position with them to complete my 5years experience. My question is, is it possible that they could sponsor me for EB2 after they promote me as Clinical Specialist even if my 1 year and 1/2 experience with them?

Under the current law, it is possible to use the expience gained with the same employer if the labor certain job is more than fifty percent different from the earlier positions held with the same employer. Only a competent lawyer can help you assess the chances.
