Filing I-824 together with the I-485 - The right thing to do when filing the I-824 is to file both the I-824 together with the I-485 or wait till the I-485 is approved. USCIS identifies the reasons as to why an I-824 is interfiled. However an I-824 should not be rejected or denied only because it is interfiled and the I-485 is not yet approved.
Note: If an I-824 is interfiled, it may not be approved at the same time as the I-485 and the I-485 processing times will apply.
Administrative Appeals Office is an office within USCIS that decides appeals from denials of various petitions by USCIS such as H-1, L-1, I-140 etc .
Hello, I have contacted Mr. Rajiv for advice on my Marriage Based Immigration case. He gave me phone consultation. Here, I would like to thank him for the best advice. Very helpful and great advice. Thanks.
As of September 18, 2009, approximately 46,000 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been received by USCIS and counted towards the H-1B cap. Approximately 20,000 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits.
Hello everyone Thanks to everyone in the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, particularly to Rajiv Ji, Mathew, Rita and Bharathi. Rita has been very patient in explaining the process from the very beginning. My GC process started in the old labor process. Still I got it after about five and a half years of efforts - which is pretty impressive. Thanks everyone, once again. Regards Sitarama.
Q: Why is the wait so long for my employment-based green card?
We have recently won a case following a Request for Evidence for a professor - Ph.D. in Mass Media and Communication. USCIS requested additional “documentary evidence” to support our claim that the applicant qualified under the EB1 Outstanding Researcher and Professor category based on applicant’s publications, acting as a judge of her peers as well as her original contributions.
I was in need of direction and help on my immigration complications and Mr. Khanna was very patient and prompt in explaining the entire case and steps involved to me. I highly recommend their law office to all who need help and advise related to immigration.
My father in law is a US citizen.He went to India in january 2009.There one of his relative register a false case against him and the Punjab police took away his passport from him.Then the case started in the court.His passport is in the hands of police till now.The judge is just giving him dates.how can he get his passport back? He is still in India.
I checked with Rajiv. He said that a passport is ultimately the property of the issuing government. Punjab police will probably not be able to hold the passport beyond a certain time. We do not practice laws of India (US only). They need to discuss this with local counsel.
It was a nice experience. The application was filed in a timely manner. The USCIS did not request any RFE and bottom line is that the lawyers got the work done.
Thank You Joy.
It was a very good experience working with Rajiv, whose office handled my green card application under Outstanding Researcher category. They did an excellent job in a very timely manner, and I got my I-140 followed by I-485 approval all within two and half years from LIN center. Thanks a lot to Diane, Prerna, and Suman.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for immigration related services without any reservation.
A note: Prior to Rajiv I worked with a lawer representing my company and wasted lot of time.
Myself and my family got GC approved. My case had become bit complex due to my doctor's ignorance in preparing medical report properly.
Mr. Rajiv & his employees were very patient through the entire process and helped me through the approval process.
No need to say he is an expert in the Immigration & Naturalization affairs and best part of him I liked is: he is always reachable by email and also by telephone as and when needed without any waiting time!!!
Usually when we want to get some advice from an attorney or a doctor, first thing that comes to mind is they are not reachable without a formal appointment etc. Mr.Rajiv though he is so famous among immigration lawyers, he is still reachable at anytime as and when needed.
His employees were also very cordial and provided personal attention to my case.
In short, he saved my life here.
I would strongly refer him for any USCIS related work.
I have had a wonderful experience working with Rajiv and his team. I want to thank Anna Baker esp. for all her work.
If you are seeking for a some one to represent you I recommend Rajiv's firm with great enthusiasm.
Thanks Rajiv for being so kind and answering all my queries.
Best wishes and God's blessings on your firm.

Excellent work by the team of Immigration.com.
