Working with Rajiv Khanna and his team has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their deep knowledge, thorough guidance, and unwavering support made the petition-building process much more manageable. Rajiv was always accessible, often responding instantly to questions and concerns—even during weekends—a level of dedication that truly sets him and his team apart.

I am incredibly grateful for Diane’s meticulous attention in organizing all the required documents and exhibits. The entire team, including Deepa, Kunal, Suman, Seema, and others, was incredibly supportive throughout and played a crucial role in helping me get my I-140 approved.

I’m grateful to everyone for their commitment. Thank you, Rajiv Ji!

H-1B grace period eligibility after second layoff and B-1/B-2 visa options for job search

2 months ago By Chief Editor
Question details

I got laid off on H1B in my previous company but found and started a job in a new company within a 60-day grace period. Again, the current company has provided a notice period for layoff. Will I get a 60-day grace period again this time?

How easy it is to get a B1/B2 to find a job after a layoff.

 

FAQ Transcript

If you experience a layoff while on H-1B status, you receive a 60-day grace period. If you secure a new H-1B approval and face another layoff, you'll receive a fresh 60-day grace period. This applies to H-1B transfers and extensions. As for obtaining a B-1/B-2 visa for job searching after a layoff, while there's no official measure of difficulty, the approval rates appear to be consistently positive, with no reported denials.

GC approval before AC21 Supplement J could be filed

2 months ago By Chief Editor
Question details

My I-485 was pending for 9 months (concurrent filing), and I worked all these years (4 years) with my sponsoring employer. My I-140 was approved 4 months ago, and I received EAD and AP as well. At the end of 8 months, I resigned from my employer to take advantage of AC21 (moving to a similar position) and was on notice period. My new employer was ready to file I-485J when asked by USCIS. During my last working week with my sponsoring employer, my 485 got approved, and I received my GC. Can you please advise on what kind of documentation I need to get from my new employer to help with any future naturalization process since I can't file I-485J as my case has been approved?

FAQ Transcript

To ensure compliance and maintain proper documentation, I recommend gathering your proof of employment with the sponsoring employer when your green card was approved. It's important to request written confirmation from your new employer showing they were prepared to file Supplement J before your transition. Keep any prepared  Form I-485 Supplement J documentation, even if it wasn't filed due to the timing of your green card approval. Additionally, maintain detailed job descriptions from both positions to demonstrate they were "same or similar" positions as required by immigration law. Store all these documents securely for the long term, as you may need them during the naturalization process to verify compliance. This documentation will help protect you and demonstrate that you followed proper procedures during your employment transition, even though the green card approval occurred before Form I-485 Supplement J could be filed.
