I Had my interview today, in the DO of Atlanta, GA at 10:00. I was really stressed. The officer who called us was a nice young lady in her mid 30's. We took the Oath to tell the truth, she asked for IDS, marriage ceriticate, previous divorce certificate, she asked where my husban worked, she verified our address and phone number. And finally she asked for most recent taxes for my husband and jpint sponsor. We had a bit of a problem with the taxes because we didnt have the most resent tax return/w2 for my joint sponsor or my husband for 2005.
By the end it turned out that we were waaaaay overprepared. We did our final preparations last night, the only thing we were worried about were those 3 months that we didn't live together after we got married so my husband even printed out a calendar and made references to receipts for every single weekend that he went to visit me while I was up in school.
I would like to thank my Case Manager, Subha, Roopa and their team for getting my Labor Certification under EB2 with PERM in 2 1/2 months. I also would like to mention the care they have taken while filling the LC form, which got reviewed many times before applying.
I sincerely recommend their service and quote them as very Professional and Excellent Service.
Thanks to all.
Excellent work done by Rajiv S. Khanna and my case Manager Richa helped me with the process to obtain Labor certification for EB3 category under PERM process. I am sure they will continue the good work all the way to getting my Green Card.
I received my PERM approval in 3 days.
Richa and Mohana has been very co-operative, professional
and prompt throughout the case
Special Thanks to Richa Narang and Mohana Navran for their timely help, valuable legal advise
I strongly recommend their services.
I started my GC processing in November 2005 through Rajiv Khanna’s law firm. He is a lawyer of great standing and has helped me at every point in the whole process. I must mention here that the paperwork done under his guidance has been perfect and I had no inquiries during the process. My PERM labor was approved in 58 days from the date of filing and my I-140 was approved in just 32 days from the date of filing. I found the staff in his office in general and with a special mention of Aruna and Amrita, both of them have been very co-operative. Thanks to rajiv and his staff.
Happy News. That's why I prefer and recommend Rajiv's office to every one. I get always good suggestions and ideas from Rajiv. Eventhough there was big confusion in applying EB2 for my case. Rajiv did a very correct and good decision for my back up case process to file it in EB2. I did not even expect the approval so early. My I 140 got approved in one month and we received the approval on June9th. I had good support from Mathew,Subha,Prerna earlier and now I had the same support and good care from Aruna also. Once again I thank Rajiv and his team for another successful move in my case.
Thanks to Aruna and everyone worked on my case. I got my I140 approval without any RFE. Looking forward to working with Mr. Rajiv Khanna's experienced staff to get my GC.
My wife and I received our GC within 9 months for the whole process with Rajiv S. Khanna as our attorney. I would like to thank Aruna for all her help and being very responsive on my case. Thank you all, it is was a pleasure to work with you. Regards...
I like to thank Pramita and Roopa for their great efforts and works that made my Labor Certificate approved in 1 day.
Hi,
Mine is a long story and will write-up the story in detail when I get a chance. I'm still hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Eventhough, it was Unfortunate that my first labor certificate was denied (for some reasons!!!) which changed my entire career plans (and also changed a lot on the way to file PERM petition after that...) Thanks for Subha and Roopa for their efforts to get my second PERM labor certificate approved in 20 days. So I'm still having little hope with the direction I'm heading towards. I appreciate Rajiv for his courteous nature.
Regards,
Manju
Mr. Khanna's firm and specifically my case manager Mr. Vijay Durgam helped me with the process to obtain Labor certification for EB2 category under PERM process. I am sure they will continue the good work all the way to getting my Green Card.
I have got my H1B extenstion approved for 3 years after my 6th year H1B period in 7 days using the approved I-140 petition. I had my last 3 H1B extensions processed through Mr.Khanna's office and Ursula Escoto prepared the forms three times PERFECTLY and NO RFEs. Thanks SO MUCH to Ursula Escoto. I am greatly pleased with Rajiv and Ursula as far as their professionalism, courtesy and promptness regarding my immigration. THANKS A LOT URSULA...

I hit a major block! My interview went with no problems until the very end, when the officer said that my old A-file was missing, and no decision can be made until it's found. I'm heartbroken.Interview:
Can you let me know when we can start filing H-1B cases again for this year?
If the beneficiary is not subject to the quota, you can file an H-1B for them at any time. If the beneficiary is subject to the quota, the new H-1B cannot be submitted to USCIS before April 1, 2014, with an effective date of October 1, 2014. We will start working on next year’s quota cases in January 2014.
How long will it take to get a receipt notice for my H-1B petition that was not filed with premium processing?
According to USCIS, "Usually, customers can expect to receive their receipt notice within 30 days of delivery confirmation. However, due to an unexpectedly high volume of I-129 petitions, it may be an additional two to four weeks before customers receive a receipt notice."
Can I send a scan of the forms? Can I use an electronic signature?
Forms need to be signed by hand in ink, and the original signed documents submitted to USCIS by mail or courier.
This week I went for my oath ceremony and I am now officially a US Citizen.
The process was very smooth overall.
My only beef is that for the interview I had to go to Holtsville and for the oath I had to go to Central Islip. I live in Queens and I don't drive so getting to those places was a major issue.
Here's my N400 timetable:
Queens/NY

So I just had my interview at federal plaza in NYC. Interview was at 11 got there around 1015. Took 15 mins for security got up stairs around 1030, and waited until 1105 till they called my name. The IO wasn't mean but neither was she friendly, I guess she just wanted to get it over with. When we got into the office she asked me to raise my right hand and swear to tell the truth. Then she asked for passport and green card. We went over the application and then she asked me to read "WHO CAN VOTE" and write "CITIZENS CAN VOTE"
She then asked me 7 questions because I got one wrong.

Please check the attachment to read USCIS Policy Memo.
USCIS is reopening the FY 2013 Citizenship and Integration Grant Program funding opportunity announcement (DHS-13-CIS-010-002). Applications may be filed through Grants.gov from June 3, 2013 through June 5, 2013 at 11:59:59 PM EDT. USCIS learned after the close of the original application period on May 22, 2013 that Grants.gov rejected a significant percentage of applications to this funding opportunity. Given those rejections, USCIS is reopening this opportunity for a brief period to allow potential applicants to resubmit an application.
