Excellent service from Rajiv Khanna's team members ... Thank you JJ
Dear Rajiv I am very much delighted to say that I received my Employment based permanent residency status last week. Hats off to you and your excellent team for having done this for me within 19 months. I never ever dreamed that I would get this status within such a short time. Throughout this period I never had a feeling that your office is somewhere hundreds of miles away as I got all the work done electronically within minutes, which would not have been possible even if I had an Attorney’s office in my neighborhood. I highly appreciate the excellent work, responsibility and the best & fastest communication delivered by you & your team. Also, kindly accept our heartfelt thanks for maintaining such a wonderful web site IMMIGRATION.COM, which is the best site I ever used to obtain real immigration related experiences & information. Please convey my wishes and thanks to Subha, Shivane, Leila and all others who did a splendid job related to my Green card and Sirisha, Charu & Rena related to my H1B renewal. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR TEAM. Thanks again. MT
My family members and I have completed stamping at Chicago, IL. I am really glad that I chose Rajiv’s law firm for our GC processing. I have got all the help and support from Mr.Khanna’s law offices for my GC processing. The whole process went very well at every stage. I appreciate Mr.Khanna and his team for their expertise and perfect paper work. Thanks to Mr. Khanna and Suman ji for responding to many of my emails during the process. I would also like to thank Diane Lombardo, Leila Lehman, Shivani Sharma and other staff members for their professionalism and promptness.
Hi,
I want to share my interim EAD experience. I went to the local office on July 6 in Arlington,VA.
Well, I arrived at INS @ 7:15AM. There were like 250 to 300 people before me. By the time I got my EAD card it was 4:30PM. There is only one person that was helping issues related to work permits. Part of the reason for the delay was they closed early on july 2.
Anyways, be prepared to take day off (for those who are already occupied during the day) when you plan to go for your interim EAD.
Had our EADs done in a day too.My wife had a job offer confirmed but did not have an EAD on the day she received her offer letter.Since we had passed the wait period to qualify for an interim EAD we went on a expedition to the BCIS office at 5am and were among the 20's in the line.Got it done in less than a hour and drove to the nearby office for Photo.Had to wait for the office to open the counters and were one among the first few to get it done.Everything was done by 10.30am and my wife got her job too
I applied for an EAD in April 2004 along with an I-485 etc. The EAD was applied for through e-file.
I heard nothing for 90 days, then made an appointment with Tampa USCIS.
I arrived and was told that as I e-filed the EAD application before I received my I-485 notice of action (but after I sent the I-485 pack) that my EAD COULD be denied. I was told that they couldn't issue an interim EAD and that I'd need to apply again. She then laughed at me and I was asked to leave for no reason.
They say about 30 days, but my wife got the letter in 2 weeks. Once she has this letter, it was pretty easy for her to get that interim EAD. They generally dont listen to you...unless you follow their procedures.
1. Got in line at 4:15AM. 8 people in front of me.
2. At 7:30AM, they started taking folks with appointments.
3. At 8:00AM, they started taking walk-ins.
4. After security check, sent to the 3rd floor.
5. Told that computers for the ticket system are down, only I90 applicants can be processed.
6. Started giving out numbers manually. Mine was E0002. I176 receipt was taken.
7. Was sent to the EAD section across the big room.
8. Asked to fill I765 application. I brought one from home.
Excellent work done by team members in pleasantly, promptly and efficiently processing the H1B transfer for a new employee.
I am extremely pleased with the services provided by Mr. Rajiv Khanna and his extraordinary team in getting our Permanent Residence approval successfully. From the beginning, my case was reviewed (I started my process at around 3.5 years in to my H1 term) and I was given proper guidance to obtain the PR before my H1 expired. They were always there when we needed them. They paid personal attention to the various special requirements in handling my case at different phases of the whole process. Special thanks to Suman, Shivane, Subha and Leila for their undivided and prompt attention at different stages. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. I would also like to thank you and the contributors to the Forum which provided me with many useful information.
My wife and I got our Passports stamped in Orlando, FL after less than 2 years of process. The whole GC process through with Rajiv S. Khanna as our attorney and his office was a wonderful experience. With Mr Khanna's guidance we haven't had any problem during the whole process. This saved us a lot of time, I know it because I have seen people who started their process long before me but they haven't got their green card I would like to thank all of his team members, especiallly Suman and Leila. In particular, I would like to mention their proffesionallism, concern,understanding and patience. They have retuened my emails and calls promtly Rajiv and his staff made the whole process very easy, simple and painless. I would recommend him to everyone who needs help and a great expert on immigration issues
Excellent firm to work with. Special thanks to Ursula and Charu.
This is a very good firm to work with, Everyone especially the person who worked with me was very helpful in clearing all my question and she was very prompt in replying also. I troubled them with lots of silly questions but they answered all my questions patiently. Thank You Rajiv & your team!!!

Release Date
WASHINGTON— U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will honor Veterans Day this year by holding more than 90 ceremonies naturalizing more than 4,440 current and former members of the military and their families. Each year, on Nov. 11, the nation honors members of the U.S. armed forces who have served the country and defended freedom.
I have an approved I-140 from my old employer 'A' with a priority date from 2017. Now I am working for employer 'B'. I have a couple of questions about this:
i) Is it worth doing my PERM here through employer 'B' again if I plan to change jobs soon (maybe in a year or so)?
ii) Are there any benefits of doing the PERM now through employer 'B'?
iii) Or would you suggest doing the PERM with my next employer and not bother with the PERM through employer 'B'?
If you are likely to keep moving employers, you could hold off until you know where you will be working long term. You already have a priority date. The date is not likely to become current soon, although freak fluctuations do occur. It makes sense to wait to file PERM again once you are in a long-term position. More...

USCIS recently updated the following USCIS form: |
Number 60
Volume X
Washington, D.C
A. STATUTORY NUMBERS
This bulletin summarizes the availability of immigrant numbers during December for: “Final Action Dates” and “Dates for Filing Applications,” indicating when immigrant visa applicants should be notified to assemble and submit required documentation to the National Visa Center.
I was on L-1A and later switched to H-4 EAD 3 years back (working with the same Indian multinational company for 15+ years). I manage a large team here in the USA, and some of my reportees are in the U.K. Since the H-4 EAD extension is taking time, my company plans to move me to Canada for one year. As per the plan, I will be back to the USA on an L-1A visa, and then the company will file for my green card in the EB-1C category. I don't have any team in Canada, and I will mainly manage the same U.S. and U.K. team from Canada.
The USCIS will consider the broad range of your duties within the business context, including employees being supervised and managed in countries other than the USA (or Canada). In our experience, the USCIS looks at whether the benefit of the work you perform with your dispersed team flows to the petitioning employer and the corporate group, department, or division within the L-1/EB-1C equity/control relationship. But, of course, your particular facts need to be examined in context. So have your lawyers look at them very carefully.

ajiv Khanna and his team were very prompt in the my GC application. They are knowledgeable; and Rajiv especially is very supportive, thoughtful, prompt and up-to-date. I am pleased to unhesitatingly recommend their services to my friends intending to start the process.
