Recently I have been to Baltimore District Office to collect my interim EAD, I was told that if INS Processing Center(Vermont) requested some additional documentation, that requested documentation should be sent to Vermont(that information should be updated in INS database), then only they can issue interim EAD. They are taking 30 days to issue Interim EAD.
I walked in to the Detroit USCIS Center on Monday Sept 9th 2003 at 11:30pm. They gave me the waiting number & gave me an application form for Employment Authorization. At around 3:00 pm the duty officer wanted receipt notices (over 90-day proof), the original I-765 application, I-94 & driving licence (proof of picture ID). She asked me to get photo copies of each of these documents, which I got it immediately for her. After an hour someone called my name and took my picture and provided the card good for 6 months.
Rajiv S Khanna's Law Firm, based in Virginia, is working on my Green Card. I should tell you that I am extremely happy with their service. I have never gotten a chance to speak to Mr. Khanna but I have been 'constantly' in touch with one of his staff, Homa Naderi. She is simply the BEST!! Goes the extra mile to get the job done. Very pleasant to talk to. Someone whom you can count on as a friend. I would first recommend you to visit their website before contacting them. The have a fabulous website, www.immigration.com . It has got a wealth of information ranging from the legal fee structure to the latest news on immigration policies, status, etc. If you decide to go with them call their office and do insist for Homa Naderi to be your point of contact. She will make this long-hard-laborious-US-Visa-pilgrimage a pleasant experience. Feel free to call me or email me if you have any questions at 972 571 1882. Krishna
I want to thank Homa Naderi for her efficiency,promptness and patience. She answered telephone calls and emails within the hour and did not tire of answering questions that appeared confusing to a lay person. Most importantly she always conveyed to us her belief that the applications will be accepted. I will be happy to refer people to her.
My family visas have been denied as they were filed 4 months late, by my hospital lawyer.We are really grateful to Mr Rajiv S.Khanna who filed this case with INS, with a proper good cause and got approved in very short time.I strongly advice to go with this firm.Right from the beginning we have been advised honestly and promptly. Mr.Rajiv S.Khanna and his paralegal staff were brilliant and showed their professionalism working on my case.Both Charu Bhagat and Anna Baker were really good in communicating with us and keeping us up to date. Rajiv S.Khanna and his team rock my world!!!!!!!

"When I join Rajiv Khanna and speak to Amrita about green card process somehow i got feeling that I am in good hand for green card". It is really nice to work with Rajiv Khanna's Law Office and people who works there. Specially Amrita whom I am working with my green card process. She gives really good response, explanation on the phone and email and give enough time to discuss questions and issues that I have. She does conference with Rajiv Khanna when needed for discussion. I have got my PERM approved in this process. It is really nice experience while working with them. They go through case very deeply and discuss pros and cons with us so you get better picture. Thanks for all you do Vishalkumar Patel
USCIS released a user manual that provides guidance on E-Verify processes and outlines the rules and responsibilities for federal contractors.
I got the PERM application approved in 10/06/2010 and I applied on August 2nd week. It is really great to work with Rajiv Khanna & Mathew and they will guide us to the right way so that no mistakes are made in the complete process. I really feel that I am in good hands!
Attorney Khanna and his staff are very meticulous and posess the skills to handle anykind of roadblocks that come across during the process of immigration filing. I filed my permanent residency application under EB-1A category through them and got an approval. Diane was extremely helpful and diligent in answering questions and seeking appropriate information from me throught out the process. I was amazed how quickly she got acclimated to the research work i was doing and provided excellent guidance in obtaining required letters and other information. I am thankful to them for their efforts and highly recommend their services.
I did my BSc (3 years) in Computer Science From St Xaviers Mumbai. Then I did my MCA ( 3 years ) from REC Trichy. I have 7 years of work experience and all those years have been in IT industry.My company is going to file my GC for me. Am I eligible for EB2 category?
Yes, you are eligible for EB-2.
I am married to a U.S. born citizen we just got married, is there a problem if I apply for the visa right after marriage? Do I have to leave the U.S? How long will it take to receive the visa?
I see no reason to wait. Bear in mind, if consulate receives your I-130 approval, they will not issue a K-3. They will ask you to wait for your green card.
If you are from El Salvador, Honduras or Nicaragua and have successfully re-registered for TPS, you should be aware that new Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) may not be issued until early November 2010.
While awaiting your new EAD, you may provide your existing EAD as proof of employment authorization. You may also provide your employer with a copy of your country’s most recent Federal Register notice announcing the TPS 18-month extension and the 6-month auto-extension of EADs.
I am a British citizen with Canadian permenant residency. The US office of my company (I work out of the canadian office) wants me to move to the USA to work on a L1. My wife (canadian) and 2 children (canadian/british) would move with me.I am concerned about 2 things, the first being what happens if I leave the company or get laid off? It's a huge issue since we would have uprooted a good life in canada. Secondly I am not completely sure about the company. Its a new employer and they seem to be pressuring me to make the move. I am worried that they could simply lay me off whenever they want which would cause turmoil if we had to move back and start again.
I am not sure it is worth the risk, either. You have no right to continue to live in USA if the company fails or lays you off. You can negotiate a large severance package, but that is all the protection you can get.
I am a foreign dentist with US degree MHA, employed with a dental company as dental tech (DT) under H1B. In 5 months I was moved internally to a Clinical reserach coordinator position. However, my visa was still DT position even after 3 yrs but doing a totally different job. It is time to renew my H1B visa and again they have renewed H1b as DT since the company lawyer said it is risky to renew the H1B under another title as this may be subject to approval. Can this cause any problem for me? I want to apply for my greencard, but because of the title I am still under DT I fall under EB-3.
You have no choice. When the job changes substantially, you are REQUIRED by law to file an H-1 amendment. Any lawyer/employer who advises you differently is breaking the law.
I graduated from a 4 yr US BSChE program and a 2yr MS ChE program and have been working on an H-1B for the same U.S. University as a Research Associate for 2 yrs.All my publications (2-3) are still pending and I am secondary on most of them.What requirements would the position I am promoted to need in order for me to qualify for the EB-2?
You qualify for EB-2, of course, whether or not a promotion is required is entirely up to your lawyer and the employer to determine. Any position that requires an MS OR BS = 5 years experience (progressively responsible) qualifies for EB-2 filing.
My wife filed for Skilled worker (EB-3(A)(i)). Can I apply for NIV to visit her?
There is nothing in law that stops you from getting an NIV. But grant of visas like B-1/B-2 is completely discretionary.

A. STATUTORY NUMBERS
Had a question about my I-485 approval and how to proceed forward with naturalization. Mr. Khanna was really helpful. After the consultation he let me ask follow up questions over the mail without any extra charge. Of various immigration attorneys I have spoken to over past five years, Mr. Khanna has been my favorite. Not only does he know the law but he cares about his clients.
I tried 2 different attorneys before employing law offices of Rajiv Khanna, one attorney took money but didn't even bother to call me and other who wouldn't fill the basic information properly before filing the application for LC. Myself and My wife, we got our passports stamped yesterday (11/21/2002), the whole process took us about 2 yrs and 1month without any problem or query from INS. Working with the team of Rajiv Khanna was PLEASANT. Being a professional myself, I am really pleased with their DILIGENCE, PROFICIENCY, CONFIDENCE and EXPERIENCE. Even though my company messed up in making monthly payments, Ms. Lakshmi Kompella, Ms. Diane Lombardo and Ms. Suman Bhasin gave me an opportunity to clean it up without holding up the processing of my application. I am thankful for their CARE and UNDERSTANDING. Ms. Leila Lehman are praise worthy too, for all their support and PERSONAL attention given to my case. Thanks to the whole team for making the process EASY and PLEASURABLE. If the job needs to be done RIGHT, this is "THE TEAM".
