USCIS seeks your input on the draft policy memoranda listed below.
Employers and refugees should be aware that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has automated Form I-94 processing for refugees. The stamped paper form will no longer be provided to a refugee upon arrival, except in limited circumstances.
We have received approval of both an L-1A petition and L-1A visa stamping for a managerial employee of a small business from India. The business in India consists of five employees and is completely different from the business they are starting in the USA. Normally, small businesses present much difficulty for L-1A approvals – the key issue being why does a small business need an employee at the level of an executive or manager. Nevertheless, we were able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of both USCIS and the Consulate that this

I am contemplating marriage to a GC holder and I have a question regarding I-130 and AOS. My prospective spouse got GC in Jan 2015. I currently hold a valid visitors visa to USA and I have visited USA many times on this visa.Is it possible to get married, enter USA on the existing visitors visa and then immediately apply for I-130 and Adjustment of Status. What are the risks/implications with this approach. What is the best procedure in these circumstances?
See clip from Attorney Rajiv S.
When an I-485 is accepted at the Service Center, requests for FD-258 FBI fingerprint checks, fingerprint fees, and G-325A consular background checks are made by USCIS. Responses to these requests come back to USCIS and must be matched up with the appropriate files held in staging. File Maintenance "file connects" these responses to the corresponding files.
My wife and I had our passports stamped after a 6 hour ordeal that started at 8:30 a.m. and ended at 2:30 p.m. Here are some tips based on what we experienced,
1. For an 8:40 appointment, get there before 8 if at all possible. They were not checking appointment timings, so people with 9/10 a.m. appointments were ahead of us in the line. All they care is that you have an appointment for that day.
It tooks around 827 days.
Filed in TX and later moved to Ohio.
letter for interview was issued to me and my wife, but duing interview they asked kids to be present, So please make sure kids are with you. Asked for six fmily photos with kids and some school reports( Grades and mark or award) for the file - Please consider this to be with you, during interview.
Thanks...
I contacted the USCIS regularly from Jan ‘ 04 (I applied in Aug) and was told my security check is pending. I contacted the FBI directly who told me that they received no request for a name check from the FBI. I did this on 2 separate occasions. I had no idea if my name check was submitted or not.

My Green Card is approved as of 02/16/2005,I thank all members of Rajiv S Khanna Team specially, Shivane, Heather, Suman and many more they are very professional in their work and I will recommend him for any legal advise regarding GC...thanks
The folks at Mr. Khanna's office did a thoroughly professional job guiding us every step of the way. Prerna, Shivane, Vijay, Diane and everyone else I came in contact with was extremely helpful. I would recommend them to anyone whole heartedly.
I am also one of the happy clients of Rajiv Khanna. I found all the staff promptly helpful and knowledgeable in every aspect of the process. I felt proud and lucky to have my case filed through Rajiv Khanna when my other colleagues who filed their cases with other lawyers didn’t get the same quality services. I sincerely appreciate all of them, especially Prerna. I wish all the best for them.
I am really impressed with the lawyers at Rajiv Khanna, they do everything meticulously and are very supportive.
I am very pleased by the whole experience of my GC process.
My GC was done with the help of Prerna, Richa, Hellen, Shivane, Raksha, Savita and Subha. Hats off to them
The office of Rajiv S. Khanna is absolutely one of the best in the business. If you are looking for quality representation, look no further. This is your firm.

My sincere thanks and gratitude to all of you especially Jitesh, Shivane, Prerna, Matthew and Subha.

I got my GC approved (AC 21 case) last week. Mr. Rajiv Khanna and His team represented me through this long process. They were very helpful with their advice, suggestions and timely filings. I would really recommend anyone to use this firm to represent you and you will definitely have peace of mind.
My discussion with Mr. Rajiv Khanna was very reassuring for staying on extended time for personal care of my physically challenged son (F1) pursuing his Masters. I hope we get the extensions as we go forward with our stay.
