USCIS will resume premium processing on Tuesday, March 12, for all H-1B petitions. If you received a request for evidence (RFE) for a pending petition, you should include the RFE response with the premium processing request.
My previous employer deducted half of my monthly salary and put deduction under loan in salary sleep. I never took any loan from him or never signed any document. Previously he asked me to pay all H1b expenses in email which i refused and seems like he has deducted amount as retaliation of my resignation. Can he take bonus back as loan(deduction he mentioned in salary slip as loan) from my salary which was given to me in 2016 and 2017? if he can then I don't have anything to claim.What are my legal options considering I never took any loans? is it worth fighting him considering my H1b status and can he harm me with my status or application (which he intend to do as he said in 1 to 1 meeting) ?

Simple, smart changes to make the H-1B visa program work better
I was planning on going to India for vacation (after I graduate, before I start work) and I had some questions about whether that would be alright from an immigration stand point. My lawyers are filing my H1B visa application this April; would there be any potential issues with the application if I was to leave the US in May/June?
There are multiple issues involved in traveling.
First, if someone travels while a change of status request is pending, they will have to obtain a visa stamping or reapply for an H-1B for change of status to activate the H-1B on or after October 1.
Second, getting visa stamping is by itself a highly uncertain process that could take from days to months. The consulates reopen and dissect the entire H-1B case from the ground up and try to find any reason they can to deny the case.

My wife's I-140 was approved and I was also on her I-140. My non-profit employer also filed my PERM and is pending with USICS. If I have to switch employers before my I-140 approval and pending 180 days, I am assuming that my new employer would have to file my GC all over again. Given that I was on my wife's I-140, will I be eligible for H1 extensions after my 6yr period if I don't have my own I-140?
Also, can I change employers and my job roles once I have my I-140 approved and pending for 180 days?

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.
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.
