I would like to thank Mr. Vijay Durgam and Ms. Pramita for all the efforts they put in to get my labor approved in 7 working days. Good work !
Dear Rajiv,
I wanted to share this information with you. I have received my e-mail
today that my EB1-EA has been approved at TSC on 27th April 2006, we have
submitted to CSC on 8th March 2006, and was transferred to TSC on 21st March
2006. So it is just a month that we got the approvel. I would like to thank
you and Diane Lombardo (my case manager) for your excellent work.
Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.
I got my PERM labor certified in 8 working days. Excellent job Richa and Mohana. Thank you SO MUCH for all your prompt responses and very high availability whenever I have a question throughout my PERM application process.
What a fantastic service for the money we spent. Your firm should be proud to have you as employees.
I am on H-1B working in the IT industry. My wife has H4 EAD, and with the same status, she is working in the hospital as a Physical Therapist.
1. Can her employer file for GC while she is on H4 EAD status?
2. If she is eligible for NIW, could you please let me know if the PWD and PERM are both required if her employer file for GC?
3. Can she use my priority date to file an adjustment of status?
1. Absolutely
2. I doubt it.
3. No she cannot. That is one thing husband and wife cannot transfer to each other their priority date.
I am an international student currently of F-1 visa status and will be graduating in May-23. I have the below questions:
1. Can multiple companies / employers apply for H1-B on my behalf in this upcoming H1-B cap pool?
2. If yes, is there a possibility that the employers might get to know about this?
3. Should my name in the passport and birth certificate match exactly? My birth certificate has an abbreviation my last name but my passport has my complete last name.
When there is no connection between two companies, and they are not colluding to help somebody get an H-1B visa or increase their chances of getting selected in the H1B lottery, multiple companies can file. Interestingly, even different units within the same bigger company could file if they have a genuine need and not face any issues.
I am an LLM student on H4 (no EAD). My college offers paid and unpaid supervised externships (optional classes) for 2/3 credits as part of our course. Can I participate and work in an unpaid supervised externship on H4 without EAD?
Sure. I don't see any problem for you, the employer should watch out for themselves.
I wanted to say thank you Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, P.C. for helping us with EB1A based immigration. The professionalism, constant guidance, and experience in dealing with attorney Rajiv and senior paralegal Diane is just commendable. Based on our experience, Rajiv is an expert in US immigration and his fact-based insights are very helpful to make informed decision.
1. The best part is that the initial assessment is FREE of charge unlike many law firms. This will help any one to take a decision based on his initial consultation. 2. Once Attorney Rajiv ji advises to move forward, he will spend enough time along with Diane to gather, conduct in depth analysis, validates against the criteria of USCIS and provide honest advice in the interest of time and cost involved. 3. Diane has drafted the petition amazingly with minute details and corresponding evidence, honestly, we were very impressed with the detailed work.
Thank you so much for your constant guidance, professional updates to the petition and continued support through out the I-140 process.

FAQs: Volunteering on a non-profit board committee while on H-1B or H-4 visa: Implications for visa stamping and green card process
Release Date
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has published additional online resources on uscis.gov to provide an overview of some of the temporary and permanent pathways for noncitizen entrepreneurs to work in the United States. This guide also highlights some of the most important immigration-related considerations for entrepreneurs contemplating starting or managing a business in the United States.
New pages:
Can an H4 EAD holder start a business in any state, or do they have to be in the same state as the primary applicant's H-1B?
Another question is can a relative's LLC file for H-1B if they have a need and it aligns with my MS coursework?
It can be done, but H-1B is not complicated that's absolutely straightforward.
My daughter was born in Canada and is on my H-1 visa as an H-4 dependent. She is currently studying 2nd year of her Bachelor's degree and will turn 21 in July/2024. I have a couple of questions, and they are
1. By what date/age she needs to change her status from H-4 to F-1?
2. Once on F-1 status, are there a minimum number of months/semesters/years she has to complete before being eligible for a CPT or OPT?
Hello, Let me start with my question: Is it possible to port priority date from an existing employer sponsored EB2 petition to a new EB2 NIW petition ? I am an Indian citizen with a masters degree in Electrical Engineering from Univ. of Maryland College Park. I have a pending EB2 petition (approved I140) through my employer but am also exploring a self petitioned EB2 NIW application in parallel. I would like to understand if the earlier priority date from my employer sponsored petition can be ported to the NIW petition, if approved. Please advise. Thank You Mathew
Yes. You can port the PD.
Release Date
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued policy guidance (PDF, 313.21 KB) on how USCIs analyzes an employer’s ability to pay the proffered wage for immigrant petitions in certain first, second, and third preference employment-based immigrant visa classifications.
Beginning March 15, USCIS is removing the biometrics submission requirement and $85 fee requirement for petitioners filing Form I-526E, Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor. Petitioners no longer need to submit the fee for biometrics services with their Form I-526E.
Can a person on H-1B or H-4 visa be on the Board committee (Vice President) for the US based non-profit religious organization without pay (volunteer) ? Would it create any issue on visa stamping or GC process?
You can work if the company is non-profit. There is no issue as long as you do not get paid in any way. If it is a for-profit company you could have a problem unless they tailor make the program according to the principles of labor laws.
I worked with Ms.Richa and Ms.Mohana. Mr. Rajiv is my attorney.
They have done an incredible job of completing my PERM in time which once I thought would be nearly impossible. We started our process very late in my 5th year.
I am highly impressed with their patience and prompt replies. I highly appreciate them. I found both of them easy to work with. They went thru the documents over and over, and prepared very convincing case.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE.
Thanks
Arul
