Dear Prerna,
Kudos and Congratulations to Rajiv Khanna and his team. Another I-485 approved.
Thinking back, I first reached your office on 31 Mar, 2001 to start my GC process. The team worked meticulously and by the end of the day, mission to
post the application in USPS office was accomplished.
Special thanks to Suman, who when contacted by a team member, refused to allow my application to leave Khanna’s office till it was meticulously correct in all details.
Special thanks to Charu, who accompanied me from Post Office to Post Office late in the evening and finally found one, which will accept the Envelope
containing the application.
Special thanks to Chacko and Shivani who kept me informed of the development when they were handling the case.
And of course, Special thanks to Prerna who so painstakingly, prepared the I-485 (and Travel Document, year after year) and was always so happy to inform me about the developments in the case.
And finally, please convey my thanks to Mr. Khanna, who is so carefully conducting Backlog Reduction Case, which I read with serious interest.
And special thanks to those whom I forgot to mention.
Thanks all. Keep up the good show.

I and my family would like to convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr. Khanna and his staff for helping us to get through the approval of 485 within 10 months of filing of 140/485 concurrently.
I want to personally thank Mr Khanna and his staff especially Amrita, Prerna,Leila, Diane, Suman, Vijay ... and the list goes whomever I interacted during the process.
I highly recommend this team.
Good Luck for all you. Thanks
Mr.Khanna and his efficient team has smartly answered my complex H1 RFE to get it approved in 2 weeks. I can't thank them enough. I recommend all companies no matter what the size of the company is.
My first contact with The Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna was in 2001 and since then, between me and my wife, we have done 5 H1s and our PR petition.
All I can say is they are an amazing bunch of people and both of us trust them and follow their advice on immigration matters blindly. They are that good.
Many thanks to Rajiv, Charu, Anna, Suman, Vijay and Rena any many others who have helped us.
Thanks again and many regards.
am sharing the following info for all, i am sure it helps:
my parents came to US in mar2004, got 6 mon entry. 6-mo extn filed early aug, website showed approval late sept, approval letter recd early oct. they have come to US 2 times earlier (2000 for 1 month and late 2002 for 5 mo). Note that we sent photocopy of I-94, NOT the original.
DOCUMENTS SENT WITH APPLICATION:
3 LETTERS: 1 from my father requesting extn, 1 from me saying I will take them around and will support them, and 1 similar letter from my brother.
Just want to post my success story to help all those silent sufferers who are looking for guidance on Vacation recapture.
My 6th year H1 expired on Oct-13-2004. My company filed for LC in Feb-2004 and I did not meet criteria for 7th year extension.
Hi Folks
With reference to my earlier post, I was really desperate to get replies regarding my query for first time Stamping at Chennai embassy, for first time stamping for H-1 B from J1 Visa.
Now, atlast I got my visa stamped and here are more details to folks who are sailing in same boat.
Hello Folks;
I successfully got my H1 (& H4 stamp) in Ottawa on March 8.
This was my third H1 stamp (second for the same employer)
It went very smooth...hardly 5 min interview...
Things seem to have improved a bit. Applied for EAD (J2 Visa holder) online on September 2. When I checked the status of the case, I got the message that my EAD had been approved on November 8. Sounds great, but lets wait until the card has arrived.
By the way, if you want to apply for an interim EAD after expiry of the 90 day period, you no longer have to stand in line all night long but can make an appointment on the USCI site (http://usci.gov) at the INFOPASS section. Good luck to everybody.
My Wife and I received our GC approvals within 34 months for the whole process with the grate Rajiv Khanna team. The team so responsive and dedicated in their work. Especially I have to Thank you Rajiv Khanna for his fighting efforts to stream line the Green Processing to all the immigration community. He is a great man!. We are really glad that we chose this Law firm.We are thankful to Rajiv and his staff.
I am on H-1B working in the IT industry. My wife has H4 EAD, and with the same status, she is working in the hospital as a Physical Therapist.
1. Can her employer file for GC while she is on H4 EAD status?
2. If she is eligible for NIW, could you please let me know if the PWD and PERM are both required if her employer file for GC?
3. Can she use my priority date to file an adjustment of status?
1. Absolutely
2. I doubt it.
3. No she cannot. That is one thing husband and wife cannot transfer to each other their priority date.
I am an international student currently of F-1 visa status and will be graduating in May-23. I have the below questions:
1. Can multiple companies / employers apply for H1-B on my behalf in this upcoming H1-B cap pool?
2. If yes, is there a possibility that the employers might get to know about this?
3. Should my name in the passport and birth certificate match exactly? My birth certificate has an abbreviation my last name but my passport has my complete last name.
When there is no connection between two companies, and they are not colluding to help somebody get an H-1B visa or increase their chances of getting selected in the H1B lottery, multiple companies can file. Interestingly, even different units within the same bigger company could file if they have a genuine need and not face any issues.
I am an LLM student on H4 (no EAD). My college offers paid and unpaid supervised externships (optional classes) for 2/3 credits as part of our course. Can I participate and work in an unpaid supervised externship on H4 without EAD?
Sure. I don't see any problem for you, the employer should watch out for themselves.
I wanted to say thank you Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, P.C. for helping us with EB1A based immigration. The professionalism, constant guidance, and experience in dealing with attorney Rajiv and senior paralegal Diane is just commendable. Based on our experience, Rajiv is an expert in US immigration and his fact-based insights are very helpful to make informed decision.
1. The best part is that the initial assessment is FREE of charge unlike many law firms. This will help any one to take a decision based on his initial consultation. 2. Once Attorney Rajiv ji advises to move forward, he will spend enough time along with Diane to gather, conduct in depth analysis, validates against the criteria of USCIS and provide honest advice in the interest of time and cost involved. 3. Diane has drafted the petition amazingly with minute details and corresponding evidence, honestly, we were very impressed with the detailed work.
Thank you so much for your constant guidance, professional updates to the petition and continued support through out the I-140 process.

Release Date
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has published additional online resources on uscis.gov to provide an overview of some of the temporary and permanent pathways for noncitizen entrepreneurs to work in the United States. This guide also highlights some of the most important immigration-related considerations for entrepreneurs contemplating starting or managing a business in the United States.
New pages:
Can an H4 EAD holder start a business in any state, or do they have to be in the same state as the primary applicant's H-1B?
Another question is can a relative's LLC file for H-1B if they have a need and it aligns with my MS coursework?
It can be done, but H-1B is not complicated that's absolutely straightforward.
I applied EAD & 485 concurrently. I got EAD and 485 approval within 3 months. I sincerely thank to the team who prepared the documents and who worked to get it done. The response time to any email/voice mail was extremely good. You are very good in explaining things and clarifying any doubts. I sincerely thank you all who worked for me.
Thanks
