We got our 485 approval (07/13/02) and got that stamped in the passport from the local INS. There are no words to thank Rajiv S Khanna and his team. Diane, Leila, and Suman had helped us in each and every stage and more important thing is, they return the call in matter of hours. Very prompt and courteous in reply, and they are all highly talented. There were no unanswered questions and I would recommend Rajiv and his team to anyone. With their teams doing the process, I knew I am in safe hands. Thank you all.

My H-1B premium processing was done by the offices of Rajiv Khanna and his staff. He and his staff (Sirisha) were really helpful and I wish to thank them for the same. My overall experience: I feel he is a BRAND NAME in this business. "His name says it all"

Interim EAD experience at New York, NY
I applied for post-grad OPT on Feb 14, my card was approved on May 26. I never received my card and I decided to go ahead and go to get interim EAD. Handed in my infopass appointment sheet at the door of 26 Federal Plaza and was directed to the 3rd floor. At 3rd floor, an officer scanned my sheet and my I797 Notice to make sure its more than 90 days since I first applied for EAD. Then he gave me an N number and directed me to the 9 floor. At the 9 floor, my number was called. Unforunately, I need a proof of residence in new york.

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