I have got my H1-b visa transferred twice in tough situations through successful representation of my cases by Rajiv S Khanna Law Offices. They have a highly professional, experienced and knowledgable staff. Best thing about RSK is that they have the most current information about immigration laws and the personalized attention (irrespective of whether you are a big corporation or an individual). In my experience they quickly grasped the problem, finished the paperwork swiftly and presented it in a very favourable way, that too for a very nominal fee (yes, fraction of what others charge!). What amazed me was the paralegals working at RSK are very involved and intelligent, they made a very important suggestion (which I overlooked) and saved me money and trouble. Mr. Rajiv Khanna himself is great man, possesses the best expertise in this field at the same time very modest and helpful. Special thanks to Charu Bhagat and Rena Waddel for handling my case. RSK Offices are doing a great service by providing latest information through this site. I have nothing but praise for everyone working there. Nobody has a magic wand, but if you have a immigration case/problem then I suggest you should leave it to RSK Offices.
These comments are being independent of the outcome of my application which is presently under process.What definately needs mention is the kind of professionalism shown by Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna (with specific mention to Rena Waddell and Sirisha Durgam. Their handling of my case papers, taking sincere interest in the case and not just providing lip service, providing me the correct information promptly, and keeping me upto date with the status has been extremely praiseworthy.
I got my passport stamped for permanent residency a few days ago. It is very difficult to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Rajiv Khanna and his team. They are very professional, efficient and very cooperative and extremely patient. I started my GC process on Aug, 2000 and it ended successfully on Aug, 2002. The entire process was handled very smoothly. One thing about Rajiv is he is approachable and treat you like a friend. That is a rare virtue among the lawyers. Also he returns any phone call and e-mail promptly [all my e-mail and phone was returned in less than 24 hours]. And his knowledge base in immigration realted stuff is amazingly deep, precise and up to date. My heartiest thanks to Rajiv. I also like to express my gratitude and thanks to Rajiv's team, specially Suman, Pooja, Homa, Shivani, Leila and of course Diane. Each of them are extremely efficient and knowledgable in their area. And they are as prompt and patient as Rajiv. I already refered Rajiv's law farm to many of my friends. Two of them are already a client. If you have any immigration needs, please contact the LEGEND, I know I will in future.Godspeed Rajiv and his team.
The service provided by the Attorney's office of Rajiv Khanna was most professional. My case was a bit complicated but the advice provided by the office helped me save a trip to India. Many thanks to Charu, Sirisha and Ursula!!!
Gentlemen/Ladies,It has been a pleasure to work with Mr. Khanna and his colleagues during process of my permanent residency. The task had been executed flawlessly and I am glad and thankful, that my colleague J. Murugavel (Chairman SysIndia.com)who recommended Mr. Khanna's office to proceed with my green card. I appreciate all the assistance and comfort extended during this process, especially during the company acquisition during Jan 2002. I especially thank the team member who worked with me for consistently being extremely prompt with his answers to my questions, and the willingness to go the extra mile to help me. Either me or my wife, will not hesitate to recommend Mr. Khanna's office to our friends or strangers for any sort of legal help they are looking for. I have lots of my colleagues from India and Sri Lanka, and the message had been already spread. Wishing you and your team a very bright future. Keep up the good work.Thanking you allRegards
I got married last month ! My husband is a GC holder and next year is going to become Citizen , I have my GC (I-140- Approved) with a priority date of September 2019 on EB3 . What are my best options here ? Do I wait for him to become a citizen and then apply for my GC through his citizenship ? Or shall I apply GC now through his GC status, before he becomes a citizen ? Or shall I wait for mine ? Will my pending GC still be valid if I apply through my spouse ?
You should apply through as many green card categories as are available to you. The family-based green card can be upgraded once he becomes a US citizen. You will be able to get and keep the green card through whichever category comes through first.

FAQ: Working for two employers on W-2 using the GC-EAD || STEM extension denied based on approved H-1B pending for withdrawal at a USCIS service center || Correcting names on passports, visas, and other documents || Options to remain in status: F-1 visa expired, H-1B approved for consular processing, but not stamped.
I am in a situation where my current employer has filed PERM and as per the timelines there are high chances that it will be approved till January. And as per immigration team in the current company says it could take a week or two to file for I-140. I am going to pay for premium processing. But at the same time, I have accepted an offer from another company and the start date is 31st January. I am sure that I-140 would not get approved till then. Can I pay for premium processing, leave after they file the I-140 and before it gets approved? Will it go through?
PS: As per company's policies they don't revoke I-140 of the employees if they leave before 6 months.
Theoretically, an I-140 does not require you to be continued to be employed by the petitioning employer. You could leave after applying, but if there is an RFE, the employer would not be motivated to respond to it. As a practical matter, there is a second difficulty as well.

I am on my H-1B and my wife is currently on her H-4. With the new bill does she still need to wait for my I-140 to be approved?
There is no new bill, just a policy clarification. And, yes, she will have to wait per the law.
