Interview was moved to a different district, although I didn't move out of district

7 years ago By Editor

Here is my short story. Me and my wife applied in March, 2016. We were scheduled for interview in SF district for August, 4. Few weeks before the interview we submitted address change request and later got our confirmation letters. The new physical address is the same city and the mailing address is the different district. Everything remain same for my wife but something wrong happened to my case. It was cancelled and in few days scheduled again for August 30 but in the _different district_ - the Santa Clara district where my mailing address is in.

We were very apprehensive about the problems and delays in getting the required visas. Our consultation with another immigration attorney was not very reassuring. On s friend's recommendation we consulted Rajiv. And things changed. Rajiv and his staff got our work done in no time. That was only part of it. The thing that impressed us most was their highly professional approach, sense of duty, and client-always-comes-first attitude. Whenever we phoned and/or visited their office, both Rajiv and his staff, Charu in particular, made us feel at home and gave us patient hearing, their own very busy and tight time schedule notwithstanding. Thank you Rajiv. Thank you Charu.

Remedy for Denial of I-485 AOS

8 years ago By Chief Editor
Question details

Today I have got denial on my I-485. Reason stated was "According to Visa Bulletin in effect on the date this application was filed , a visa was not available based on your established priority date and specific preference category" My category is EB2. Date of filing for this category is 1st July 2009. My priority date is 10th December 2008. I filed 485 application on 1/19/2016 and got receipt notice on 1/29/2016
I did my finger printing on 03/16/2016 based on USCIS schedule I and my family members also got EAD on 03/23/2016 I was surprised to see today’s denial reason. I filed 485 application based on Dates for Filing .e. 1st July 2009 for EB2 category. Not sure why they denied my case since Final action date is not current but I am sure I am eligible to file my application based on date of filing. Is there any way to appeal on this decision ? If appeal gets denied again is there any impact on my current H1B status ?

Thank you for the Continuing Support

Rajiv and his team (Amrita, Anna, etc) go above and beyond when taking on a case. I've experienced it as a student seeking Visa support and as the employer working on an associate's case. I highly recommend their services and look forward in continuing working with their team. Thanks guys!

No Mission Impossible for this Law Office!

I am thankful that my employer always seeks the services and advice of Rajiv and his staff, especially Heather and Mark in my case. Undoubtedly, their detailed dealings pertaining to my legal needs, including my children's, are the reasons for the positive results I have so far enjoyed. In addition, they also have good camaraderie among their clients and are always transparent with the details of the cases they have filed for me. I give credit to the professionalism and expertise of the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna!

Great advice on my case by Mr. Khanna

I had a trickery situation where I was

1. Changing my employer while being on H1B, 

2. Moving out of country to assume my PR status in Canada, and

3. Wanted to work for my new company in US by frequently traveling back and forth from Canada. 

Mr Khanna provided the correct advice of going for an H1B transfer instead of having a business (visitor) visa and since then, it has been a very smooth ride. 

He helped us file for the transfer as well as my wife's H4 extension. His staff is also very courteous and helped us meet a tricky timeline during my transfer even though that meant working over time for them.

I have no doubt that Mr. Khanna is one of the very best immigration lawyers in US and I highly recommend him for his services.

H-4 EAD Employer Change

8 years ago By Chief Editor
Question details

I have an approved I-140 with PD 2013. My wife works on H-4 EAD based on my I-140. If I join another company with my I-140(say I get H-1, my wife's H-4 and EAD for 3 years), Would it be fine if she continues to work on that EAD even if my I-140 gets revoked/withdrawn after H-1 approval.

USCIS has said if an I-140 is revoked, they reserve the right to revoke the H-4 EAD. So far, they have not been revoking.
