I want to thank Attorney Khanna and Attorney Sheena for outstanding service to resolve a complicated case with multiple filings involving more than one law firms. Attorney Sheena was extremely dedicated, absolutely quick in her responses and worked through the snow storm to get our issues resolved. It is always great to have an attorney who looks out for you and is approachable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the future who require immigration assistance. Regards. Dr. RP

Work Done: J1 transfer, H1 and 485-finally approval of Green Card.I started working with Mr khanna's office for transferring my J1 waiver job from one state to another. His team has been extremely professional and helpful in the process. They have been helpful not only in transfer but also succesfully filing and getting my Green Card approved. I strongly recommend Rajiv's office to anyone with immigration issues. At every level I noticed special attention and exemplary professional standards that one seldom sees in todays world.I would like to thank all of your team members. Specifically Rena Waddell, Anna Baker, Heather Crump, Mark Riddick and of course Rajiv Khanna himself......
Once again Thank your such a wonderful teamwork and unique expertise provided by Rajiv in my case.
Regards...
Nik Nihalani MD.

Question - unlawful presence in AOS

Question details

Q1. Suppose, if the husband is on H-1B and spouse is on H4. Husband has filed I-485, spouse name was not included. Now if husband switches to AOS Pending...what will be H4 status? Unlawful presence?

Q2. When she is out of status because he is no more on h1.. can she file for COS to F1?

A1. As I see it, the wife will be out of status right away and unlawfully present if USCIS revokes her H-4 or her I-94 expires.
