From AOS to pending to green card
Question details
If the employee was already working for the employer using AC21 (using EAD) and was already on payroll Then what steps employer has to do to actually get the employee on the GC job other than changing I-9 details. And what document proof employee need to have that may be helpful when one apply for citizenship ? to prove that employee indeed gave employee the GC job ?
Other than updating the I-9, there are no immigration law steps involved in going from AOS to pending to green card. There is no need for any specific documentation. So far, no proof of job has ever been required. Your W-2/Paystubs should suffice, if the issue ever arises. If you are unsure, just get a new offer letter confirming the job.
The pending rules for EB-1
Question details
Are they changing the law for EB-1? What is the change?
The only PROPOSED change is that Outstanding and Researchers will be allowed to present evidence beyond the six categories stated in the regulations.

Rajiv was extremely helpful in providing his thoughts on the situation i was in. I have been following his posts and since his insights were to the point and bring in a lot of clarity I made an attempt to approach him for suggestions. Evevn though i was a complete stranger, they accomodated time and scheduled me an appointment to discussion on my needs. Really appreciate their efforts and kindness.

Changes to Dates of Birth and Names on Certificates of Citizenship
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is issuing policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual relating to changes of dates of birth and names per court orders.

I have used this firm for a number of years for H-1B visas. They are extremely professional and organized. And most recently I had an employee require H-1B status quickly due to a student visa heading toward expiration. We did the premium process through this group and the approval came back in much less than the 15 day turnaround time. That in itself should tell you everything you need to know. If you don't hire this group, you are doing yourself a disservice.
