I appreciate the frank advice Mr.Khanna gave me. He could have taken on my case and made himself some money but he chose to tell me frankly that it was not worth pursuing the application at this stage. He also advised me on what alternative steps i should take instead. And he did it free of charge!

Job description for the EB-2
Question details
I've been working for the company that is sponsoring my green card for the past 2.5 years and some of the experiences/skills required in the Job Description were acquired working with this company. Is it valid to include those skills on the Job Description? Should I have acquired those skills before?
It is possible to use the after-acquired skills only if the job in the past and the green card job are more than 50% different.
Perm process during OPT
Question details
I completed my master’s degree last summer and started working with a company from 2 months.
I am in OPT status right now and I wanted to know, if I am eligible to file for Green Card process with my current employer. If yes can I file in EB2? I have 2 years IT experience in India If no, do I have to wait until I get H1b. Is the Green card process dependent on H1B?
This question requires your lawyers to assess the case. Generally speaking nothing stops you from filing a PERM application while on OPT and an Eb2 appears possible.

It is possible, but the green card will have to be started again from PERM.

Question details

I contacted immigration.com., and got an email back the next day, and phone consult set up with Rajiv Khanna two days later. He was extremely helpful, explaining to me the weaknesses and opportunities of my case, and actually gave me some reference point to talk to my employer. I am grateful to Rajiv and his staff for their assistance, and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for quality legal opinion on their immigration cases.
