I have my old Priority date as Dec 2009 in EB-3 and when I changed the company they filed the Labor and I-140 in EB-2 and my old Priority date is not ported on my new I-140 and I see the new I-140 in EB-2 with the Priority Date as Jan 2013. Now with the revised USCIS VISA Bulletin can I apply my I-485 with old PD ( EB-3) and simultaneously to be safer side can I apply I-485 from my wife's side and her PD is July 2010.

Dear Mr. Rajiv & Team,

Thanks

Dear Rajiv & Diane, Thank you for taking time to talk with me yesterday. I was trying to make my case an O-1. Rajiv was upfront in letting me know that it was not an O-1 case. Prior to this, I also benefited from his invaluable advice, which he didn't charge anything, to have got a Back Pay for 10 months. Rajiv earned my trust with his honesty, knowledge and generosity. I would recommend him to those who are in need of professional services in immigration. Best regards, Wendy Zhang

This suspension applies to all employment-based adjustment applications pending with USCIS through September 30, 2015 (the remainder of FY2015).

I wanted to thank everyone for all the helpful comments and guidance posted in this forum!
Went to the USCIS office in Manhattan yesterday for my interview at 730 am. After going through security went to the waiting area and handed my interview notice to the receptionist. My name was called by the IO at 8 am. It must have been a very quiet day and there were no more than 15-20 people in the waiting area!
My parents had their citizenship interview few days back. My father passed the interview. My mother had been concentrating more on the civics part and never went over the N-400 application. When the USCIS officer asked her about tax returns and other questions she got confused and couldn't answer then correctly as she was scared to answer them wrong. She passed the civics. On the form she was given at the end stated that she needs to be retested again for understanding language.My father has his oath ceremony next week.
I had my interview at the JFK Building, Boston. My appointment time was around 8am. I got there at 7:30. I was called in at around 9 am. It was a standard interview. I took oath to tell the truth. He asked for my GC, Passport and proof that I had registered for selective service. That is all he asked for.
We went through the N-400 first. He was very detailed. Chatted about my work in between. I had already prepared my travel log since the time of my application and he added that as an addendum to my application. After that we did the civics exams.
Efficient and super fast processing. I got the Labor cert approved in 5 business days.
My case manager Amrita is very knowledgeable about the process and clarified my doubts with utmost diligence.
Many Thanks to Seema and Mathew for helping in my case when needed.

I would like to thank Diana, Kumuda, Rita, Mr. Rajiv S Khanna for their services from the bottom of my heart. I always got reply from them so quickly that I cannot imagine. Particularly Diana, She is always faster than me. Mr. khanna,s firm ask less fees than any other law firms I contacted before processing the case. Finally I got my green card within 9 months, which I can not believe. I am extremely grateful to all of them.
I would like to thank my case manager Pramita and Roopa for getting my labor approved in EB2 Category. They prepared my labor certification perfectly and it got approved within a week after they applied my petition. I am quite thankful to Roopa and Pramita for their patience in answering my questions, and getting things done quickly from my employer. They had shown keen interest in my case and followed up with my employer with patience to get things done promptly.I once again thankful to the law office of Rajiv Khanna for getting my labor petition approved.
Great Job!!! I Got my Perm Certified in 5 days in EB2 Category. Thanks to Pramita and Roopa for their excellent work.
I Had my interview today, in the DO of Atlanta, GA at 10:00. I was really stressed. The officer who called us was a nice young lady in her mid 30's. We took the Oath to tell the truth, she asked for IDS, marriage ceriticate, previous divorce certificate, she asked where my husban worked, she verified our address and phone number. And finally she asked for most recent taxes for my husband and jpint sponsor. We had a bit of a problem with the taxes because we didnt have the most resent tax return/w2 for my joint sponsor or my husband for 2005.
By the end it turned out that we were waaaaay overprepared. We did our final preparations last night, the only thing we were worried about were those 3 months that we didn't live together after we got married so my husband even printed out a calendar and made references to receipts for every single weekend that he went to visit me while I was up in school.
I would like to thank my Case Manager, Subha, Roopa and their team for getting my Labor Certification under EB2 with PERM in 2 1/2 months. I also would like to mention the care they have taken while filling the LC form, which got reviewed many times before applying.
I sincerely recommend their service and quote them as very Professional and Excellent Service.
Thanks to all.
