Just would like to know that how soon can a spouse and children apply for a H4?
There is no time limit. As soon as you get an H-1.

My father applied for a green card for me back in August 1993 and I was wondering when am I going to get my interview for my green card.
I was on J-1 visa for 18 months of training in a dental lab as a dental technician .I got my waiver on my J-1 visa .I came back from USA to India and applied for the F-1 visa in a community college .But I was denied f-1 visa on bases of section 214(b) of immigration (possible immigrant).What can I do next to get back to USA?
If the consulate is not convinced of your nonimmigrant intent (214(b)), it is extremely difficult to remedy that. Usually, people in that situation should explore options like H-1, L-1, green card - all of which do not require a nonimmigrant intent (intention to remain in USA only for a brief period of time).
The provision establishing the S visa in the INA was originally due to expire on September 13, 1999, but Congress had extended it until September 13, 2001. Aliens admitted through the S visa categories are designated as S-5 and S-6 nonimmigrants. Request for these visas must be filed by a state or federal law enforcement agency, and the filing agency must assume responsibility for the alien from their time of entry until their departure, or until they adjust status.
This memorandum establishes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy for the handling of removal proceedings before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOlR) involving applications or petitions filed by, or on behalf of, aliens in removal proceedings. This policy outlines a framework for ICE to request expedited adjudication ofan application or petition for an alien in removal proceedings that is pending before U.S.

I got my labor certification approved a few days ago. Mr. Khanna's office did a wonderful job gathering all the details and working with my company to get it done. The process was very smooth and my employer was really happy with the response time from Mr. Khanna's office. Special thanks to Richa for patiently answering all the questions and filing the petition on-time and accurately. She is a true professional and a great resource of information to all new applicants. Thank you once again! I would definitely recommend Mr. Khanna to all my friends for all their Visa needs!
A great big heartfelt thanks to the Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna. After much waiting I finally got my green card approved. It has been an excruciating 3 year wait since I filed my I485 and during these years every time I had a doubt with what I can or cannot do and with any travel related questions, I have had great support from the Law Office. A special thanks to Mathew Chacko and Prerna , whom I have been in touch with primarily over the past years. Mr Mathew Chacko's speedy response amidst his busy schedule is commendable and much appreciated. A big heartfelt thanks again and I am sure I will only think of this law office for all my legal needs.
I and my husband received our GC on Aug 20, 2010. This whole process took almost 4 yr and 8 months. We are thankful to Rajiv Khanna and his team for constant support and guidance. Their paper work was excellent and team was very accomodating. Thanks for excellent work and support. Dolly and Rajiv Chavan
I am currently in the U.S. with B2 visa. Can a company that intents to hire me, apply for a work permit on my behalf and change my status while I am in the U.S.?
You can, but it is almost never a good idea to convert from a B to a longer term visa. Please discuss the consequences with your lawyers.
In a month I will have lived in the US for one year as PR. My company is sending me to do some work for them overseas.
1. Do I have to eligible for naturalization FIRST before I file N-470? Or is this just for any LP who have lived in the US for an uninterrupted year?
2. Can I file it while I am overseas?
3. Can I file when I come back having lived outside the US for less than a Year?
4. Can I file the application and leave BEFORE I hear back from USCIS?
5. What should my employer write in the supporting documents?
6. What makes my company an American corporation/firm?
1. No, you do not have to be eligible for naturalization.
2. No, you have to file while in USA.
3. No.
4. Yes.
5 and 6 require a lawyer to look over your company's details.
