My wife and I got our Passports stamped in San Diego, CA with our I-485 approval notice. Let me try to SQUEEZE in an approx. 750-day history (9/01/99 till date) into 4 paragraphs. The whole GC process through your offices was a REAL PLEASANT experience. I am sure that with your guidance, you and your team will scale NEW HEIGHTS with EASE and STRIDE, and HELP a LOT of people. I would like to thank all of your team members. In particular, I would like to mention the DILIGENCE and PREOFESSIONALISM of Diane Lombardo, in praise of which I apologize, as I am unable to get the RIGHT words. I ENVY your and your staff's CARE, PUNCTUALITY, CONCERN and UNDERSTANDING. I was THRILLED when Suman Bhasin returned my voice mail on Saturday. Also, I am really AMAZED at how you can respond to emails in spite of your busy schedule. Also the immigration forum (http://www.immigrationportal.com) is a NOVEL and WONDERFUL idea. You have once again proven your INNOVATIVENESS. Thanks a lot to you Mr. Khanna and your PROFESSIONAL team. Friends, if you need to get the job done right, hire Mr. Khanna. May GOD bless you and your TEAM with the BEST of the WISHES so that a LOT many souls like us, can see their DREAMS come TRUE. I am eagerly looking forward to working with you in the future. Thanks

What Happens if H-1B Employer Revokes a Quota H-1B Before October 1?

3 years ago By Chief Editor
Question details

I am on Initial OPT which expires on November 30, 2021. A company filed H1-B lottery for me this year (2021) which got picked and approved but I was laid off in May and immediately the company filed H1-B withdrawal and sent to USCIS on June 1st, 2021.

1) I have joined a big MNC company few days back who’s willing to sponsor me. I have approval and LCA Notice. What are my options now to get H1-B back?

2) If I can’t do anything with My H1-B. What’s the time frame generally it takes to withdraw my H1-Status? My Status still shows H1-B approved in the portal.

FAQ Transcript

The usual consensus of opinion is that in such cases you have lost your quota so you are back in the quota. You have to go through the lottery again next year when you apply. More...

Attorney Rajiv Khanna and his team are one of the best immigration attorneys out there, they thoroughly understood my case scenario and also the hiccups that might come in future and filed my case accordingly and got approval without RFE. They know the best about what they are doing and also very prompt in responding to all requests and questions. Pavithra was very helpful throughout the documentation process she patiently verified all the documentation through every step of the process.

Multiple Employers or Jobs on I-485 EAD

3 years ago By Chief Editor 2 comments
Question details

Can I do a second job using GC EAD which I recently got and continue working for sponsored employer on H1B (unexpired I-797) for not more than 6 months? i am being told that this actually would void H1B status. I'm fine with it (moving to AOS status) as long as i do that secondary job until I-797 with current employer expires. But will it cause any issues with AOS whenever priority date becomes current ? ​
 

FAQ Transcript

As long as you have the intention to remain there indefinitely what you do on the side whether you start your own business and do another job I don't think it's relevant. The key here is to have an intention to continue working with the primary employer. More...

Taking a Long Break After Receiving Employment-Based Green Card

3 years ago By Chief Editor
Question details

We have finally got the employment based green card after applying almost 12 years ago my question is around taking some time off. Most people ask the question of switching employers after getting the EB Green Card but my question is if I can just quit my job and take a break for 6 months before getting back into the workforce next year. Do I have to wait a certain amount of time before quitting or can I do it now?

FAQ Transcript

I think that's perfectly legitimate because when you received your green card approval on that date you had no intention of quitting, but rapidly thereafter the situation changed so if the situation changes there is no problem somebody quitting work and staying out of work for as long as needed.

GC processing service is a grueling process, but at Rajiv Khanna's office they handled very nicely and professionally even at difficult time. Though still my I-485 is not yet filed but on Labor and I-140 filing Rajiv's office shown their professionalism and my special thanks to Amrita, Mathew and Kumuda for their excellent service. I'll update more with how my I-485 filing goes in near future. So far with my experience I can give four stars. ****

From 2003 I have been working with Rajiv Khanna's office. My thanks to Rajiv,Subha,Roopa and Tarun. My questions were always answered on time. Tarun deserves a special mention.He had been quite helpful and was always very prompt in dealing with all the issues. Hopefully I will be able to write a "thank you" note soon once my Green Card comes through.
