My Labour is filed in EB-3 & my PD is Oct-2003. I got my EAD in 2007. I have a BE degree from India & a work experience of 13 years. 5 in India & 8 in USA. Am I eligible for porting to EB-2? If I file a fresh EB-2 what is the process? Is it just the Perm process & I- 140 or do I need to file I- 485 again.
People with over 5 years of exp. after a 4-year degree may be ale to restart the green card under EB-2 category and then port their PD. Basically, you are redoing the PERM and I-140 for an EB-2 level job.
Will I get 15 days visa for US as tourist visa and in this time marry a friend who is U.S citizen and also born over there in USA, so could I be able to apply for visa extension and then apply for PR in USA?
We had applied for H-4 extension for my wife and child (1 year) in same I-539 form. We received an approved 797 form for dependents. Applicant's name is my wife's name and beneficiary's name is my daughter’s name. The I-94 in the form contains only my daughter’s number and not my wife's I-94 number. My wife's name is mentioned as a petitioner. Should my wife also have a separate I-94 in the approved 797 form?
She must have a separate I-94.
I'm trying to apply EB-3 with skilled workers who have at least 2 years of experience. I worked with 1 firm for about 4 years after graduation. I would like to know all my experience from current firm does not count for my professional experience or not. And are there any alternative options to apply for green card?
Usually, we cannot use the experience gained with the same employer who is applying for the green card, UNLESS the job being offered for green card is more than 50% different than the earlier jobs for that employer.

Hi, For the last two months, I have been in touch with three highly experienced attorneys. Two of them are naitonally famous and charges $250 per 20 minutes. I have to say that Mr. Rajiv Khanna and his office are truely professional. Rajiv Khanna Law offices are not just trying to make money but trying to give truly professional service to the needies. Thanks a lot Mr. Rajiv Khanna and his staff.
I really thank Mr Khanna and his team from bottom of my heart for providing legal advising regarding my wifes H4 visa. It was not a straight forward case but within first few minutes of the conversation Mr Khanna was very clear on how it should be handled. GOD BLESS YOU SIR !! Keep up all your good work .
We have worked with Mr. Khanna's law firm over past 3 years for my Green Card process. I found the team to be meticulous and very responsive. Recently I had to switch employers while my I-485 was still outstanding. Mr. Khanna's team had no obligation to provide any counsel, since I would not be their client anymore. Despite that, they made themselves available to answer the questions during uncertain times, so that I would any missteps in this often confusing process. I believe Mr. Khanna's law firm offers more than just handling of the legal process. They go above and beyond to create a sense of community and offer a great service to folks dealing with varying immigration circumstances. It's a comforting feeling to know that you have Mr. Khanna's firm by your side.
