I thought this info might benefit some people.
My FIL entered US end of July '04. His 6months stay expired end of Jan '05. Our request to extend the stay was denied and he left within 10days of receipt of that letter. But he returned in 4 wks from India (he left on Feb 6th '05, returned on March 3rd '05). At POE in Los Angeles, they questioned him, but finally gave him 6months stay on I-94. He has a multiple entry visa.

Our case was initially filed with VSC in March, 2001 (EB2 and future-employment based, the petitioning company is located in NJ and we always work in California)
In Jan, 2004, our case was said to be "transferring" to SF local USCIS office for interview and after many times of phone inquiries and letter/fax sent over to them from my wife and the attorney, an office finally (after 7-8 months of newless waiting) get in touch with the attorney(in NJ) earlier this month and indicated that interview is unnecessary, however, we do need to surrender some docuemnt.
I got my I-485 approved in about 1.5 years,which is much faster than I predicted.... and I am sure it could have been approved faster if I had been more diligent about sending the paper work back to you guys... thanks for allowing this victory come true in my life... I have recommended your services to many friends, and I hope they are smart enough to follow my advice... green card

I got my GC approved on 2/4/05 approximately with overall 3 years time from LC application. My sincere thanks and appreciation goes to Prerna, Liela, Suman, Vijay and all others worked on my case. Rajiv's law office is professional, yet with personal touch. I got all my questions answered in all stages promptly with detailed recommendations.
I am thankful to Shri Rajiv Khanna and his team for great services and guidance throughout the process.My employment based green card is approved.All my family members too are approved.My special thanks to Ms.Prerna Mehta for her wonderful service.
But for Rajiv's team's friendly,professional,prompt,educative relationship I guess the long journey of 3+ years would not have been so pleasant.
Once again I would like to thank all the team members of this great office. I sincerely recommend this office for all immigration related services.
Our case was initially filed with VSC in March, 2001 (EB2 and future-employment based, the petitioning company is located in NJ and we always work in California).
Couple of months back I received Employment Based Green Card (H1b to GC) and my dependents received Green Card too (H4 to GC). I had the intention to work for the Employer who sponsored me for the Green Card forever during applying for the Green Card and during the Green Card Interview too. However after working for couple of months for the employer now I am feeling that I should be changing the Employer to a different one near to my home due to the following compelling reasons: I am a Heart Patient and facing Health Issues due to the Travel (4 hours flight travel) that I am making every week to work in the Employer's Client Location for work.
And if I continue to perform my job this way I will affect my health. All the efforts I made to request a work near home did not materialize.
I am planning to search for a new job near my home and if I get it I am planning to put in a Resignation to the present Employer stating the facts about my Health Problems and join the new one.
My Question:
1. Will I face any issues now or in near future during I submit my Citizenship Application due to my employer change just after 2 months of getting the Green Card? If so what are the steps I should take to avoid it?
2. I am planning to save my Payslips / W2 of the Present Green Card Employer and my Heart Health records. Is there a Minimum duration that USCIS expects a Green Card Holder to work for the Green Card Employer?
Video Transcript:
1. No.
2. Duration is not reliable.

Pleased with my H1B/H4 experience with Mr Khanna's firm I have decided to use his services for my GC processing 3 years ago. Today I got my passport stamped. Thank you for all your efforts, Rajiv, Diane, Leila, Hellen and for all your help. Would definitely recommend this firm to anyone
