I have two Bachelor's degrees from US universities. A 3-year Bachelor degree in Science and a 2-year Bachelor's degree in engineering. Will I be considered for a EB-2 visa with this?
In case I don't qualify for EB-2, my dilemma is that, I have worked approx 4 years at my current job. Should I wait another year to file EB-2 or should I just file EB-3 now? Also, do internships qualify when counting the number of years of work after school?
Internships do qualify as experience. You need to get your degrees evaluated under AACAO EDGE standards first .
Am I allowed to apply for TN status while EAD is pending. E.g Based on my new DS2019, I apply for EAD in May/14 for authorization beginning Jul1/14-Jun30/15. Now I get an offer letter. In Jun/14, can I apply for TN status at the border or for COS with I-129 with USCIS?

I am satisfied with the service. Thanks. - Srini
I would like to thank Mr. Khanna and all the staff members - Mathew, Shivani, Homa(presently not working with you) and all other remaining members who have helped me get through this process. You all were just great to work with.
Mr. Khanna has been my immigration lawyer for H1-B as well as Greencard. My 485 was approved from TSC last week in a record 11 months! He and his staff (Vijay, Suman, Shivane, Prerna, Rena) have all been exceptional! They never hesitated to answer the million questions I had and were always prompt in calling or emailing me back. Mr. Khanna too always made time out of his busy schedule to call me whenever I needed to speak with him directly. This is one exceptional group of folks and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a good immigration lawyer.
I am so glad I hired the services of Mr R S Khanna. The staff is so dedicated and responsive. I always felt I was in good hands and help was always round the corner.
Special thanks to Leila Lehman for responding promptly to all my queries and for being so very friendly and helpful. She is certainly a pleasure to work with and will always hold a special place in my family for being so very nice during the whole process from I-140 onwards.
Also, Subha was very professional and helpful during labor processing and Shivane helped very promptly and efficiently with filing I-140.
I always thought Consular processing was risky business but Mr Khanna and Co. really made it work without a glitch.
I wish them good luck with their business and hope they continue to serve many more with the same efficiency. I rate them as A+++
Many thanks !

I am so thankful and greatfull to the wonderful people in The Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna for filing my GC and getting my approval and stamping. Their consul at very stage was excellent and always accurate. My 485 was cleared in 18 months. I would like to thank Mr Khanna for his consul and assertiveness in my case, Leila Lehman - a wonderful person, for taking care for my case and clearing all my doubts and Suman for initial supervising of my case. They were always reachable and would respond immediately. I rate them as the most precious people in my life with my Parents, Family, My favorite Teacher and best friend. Their help and consul cannot be thanked in words. I shall always be indebted to them.
I would strongly recommend The Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna for any issues in your GC. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about the Law Offices of Rajiv Kanna. Apart from their professional services, their site has been in my opinion the greatest contribution to the immigrants in the US, I cannot find a parallel to a site anywhere in the net which benefited so many, so much.
Wishing them the best!
Great work by the team. Seamless transfer from one person to another through the different stages of the processing. Great response time and guidance. Thanks for all the help.
First of all I would like to thank Mr. Khanna, Joy, and Charu for accepting my case and working on it.My case was a bit complicated, but with the help of Mr. Khanna, I was able to get the H1B Visa. Excellent service, very professional, and very patient. I know that for any future legal matters, I will definitely return to the Law offices of Rajiv. S. Khanna. All my good wishes to Mr. Khanna and his staff.
Excellent service , very cooperative , courteous and patient staff.Always gets the prompt response and the everyone seems to be knowledgeable .. Very happy and will consult again for any future needs..
I have no words to describe my heartfelt gratitude to Attorney Khanna and his excellent team for their hard work during the processing of my green card. I had previously filled out the client book when my self-petitioned I-140 was approved. A long time passed between that and the I-485 stamping which warrants me to add something more about Attorney Khanna and his team.
Attorney Khanna and the people in his office are fully accessible and in spite of their busy schedules will contact you within a day if you have any questions. Sometimes you get answers to your queries on the weekends too. All paperwork is efficiently processed and throughout the tedious and time consuming process of multiple EADs, APs etc, not once did I have any problems. They will patiently answer your questions without charging you (which is such a rarity in today's world). I have had no hesitation in recommending my friends and family to Attorney Khanna for his legal services because I know that they will be in good hands, as was I. My sincere thanks to Attorney Khanna's team some of whom, like Diane Lombardo, Mathew Chacko, Leila Lehman and Suman Bhasin, I had the privilege of talking to during the processing of my case. Great team indeed !
Feel free to email me if anyone has questions about the law office of Attorney Khanna.
Best Regards.
How to Make Your Communication with the USCIS Contact Center More Effective
The USCIS Contact Center has made changes to reduce reliance on telephonic live assistance while promoting the use of online self-help tools and digital inquiry channels. This is the result of financial limitations and resource constraints that make it impossible for USCIS to offer live assistance to every customer in the face of increased inquiry volumes.
When does it make sense to reach out to the USCIS Contact Center?
This nonimmigrant classification applies to people who wish to perform services in a specialty occupation, services of exceptional merit and ability relating to a Department of Defense (DOD) cooperative research and development project, or services as a fashion model of distinguished merit or ability.

“USCIS upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve.”
Release Date
On Feb. 6, the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services joins other U.S. government agencies and the international community in calling for an end to the practice of female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C).
FGM/C refers to all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
We would like to convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr. Khanna and his staffs for helping us to succeed in our immigration petition through EB-1 (OR) category. We were very thrilled to note that our petition was approved without RFE in a record pace (within 9 months of submission).
Without his kind support and dedicated staff, we think we could not have achieved this. We would like to convey our special thanks to Ms. Diane Lombardo who meticulously put all the evidences together and shaped the case as a strong one.
I highly recommend this team.
Good Luck for all you. Thanks.
Senthil.
