Few years back I entrusted my GC processing with Mr. Rajiv Khanna. The professionalism and prompt support extended by the entire team was so very impressive. This lead me file the GC’s of my employees when I started my software consulting firm. Over the years I have see the professionalism and focused attention each case is getting increase. Last week we filed PERM for another employee and support Seema and Amrita gave is really commendable
This firm takes client service to the next level. Rajiv's firm worked with me the first time for an H1B 3 years back. I had a great experience that time.
They have done it again this time for my Labor cert. Amrita and Seema worked on PERM with me and Amrita called me on a SATURDAY to inform me of the approval. Only 2 days after the filing! They pay attention to every detail and know their stuff.
Thank you Amrita, Seema and everyone at Mr. Khanna's office.
We had a Labor certification case filed for an IT professional. The requirements were Bachelor's degree and 5 years of experience. We filed I-140 under EB-2 category. After approximately 8 months, USCIS sent us an RFE saying Bachelor's plus five years would not qualify under EB2 unless the experience required is progressive in nature. We knew that USCIS was wrong under the circumstances of the case, but an argument with the government was unnecessary because the EB-3 priority dates were then current.
I have a priorty date(PD)of dec 07 filled under EB3.my I-140 got approved this march.I have 5 years experience as of 2010.can I file as EB2 with another employer as my current employer is not willing and still use the same PD? My first labor certification was in audit for 2 years before they cleared it.Do I have to go through all these steps again with new employer? Can you please explain the process if possible?
You do have to start the green card all over again, but your PD is yours to take with you to the new job.
My employer has being try to file labor for the last 2 years and finally decided filing as Finance major would be risky & decided to go with engineering specialization.Two major issues:
- I have 4 months remaining for 365 day deadline (H1B with time captured outside US would be Dec '11)
- My employer is asking me to go on F1 staus to freeze the time on H1.Two questions:
Is 4 months enough time for me to find a new employer & ask them to file for labor? Is it legal for me to work on F1?
It could take a bit longer than 4 months to file. You can work on F- 1 if the school allows Curricular Practical Training.
My Perm is filed in October 2008 under EB3 and was audited. As per your current dates, guessing it might be approved in October 2010.
1. I would like to know if I can file I-140 under EB2 as I got my work experience eligible for EB2 category.
2. If I change employer before my PERM approval, will my priority date change? If so, to retain Oct'08 date, till what time, I can be with my employer?
3. Once I-140 is approved, can I change employer or stay for 6 months and then change employer so that my priority date will retain oct'08?
1. No. PERM application determines what your category is.
2. If your I-140 is not approved, you cannot carry your PD to a new employer.
3. Once approved, you can carry your PD, even if you leave earlier than six months. You do have to start your green card process all over again.
If a company is willing to sponsor green cards for a number of valuable employees, currently working with temporary worker visas, does it reduce the chances of success? (like applying to 4 to 5 employees simultaneously)
Generally speaking, as long as the jobs are genuine and the employer has the ability to pay, the number is irrelevant.
I came to the United States by an H1B visa. The H1 visa was filed through my company's attorney which later I asked them to apply for my green card as well. Unfortunately, the attorney made several mistakes and I cancelled my contract with them. After some research and asking from friends and colleagues, I decided to go with the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna whose web site, immigration.com is well known. Obviously the cost was higher than our company's attorney but I used to hear lots of sad stories about how some unexperienced attornies lost the customer's hope, time, and money. So, I think it was really worth it because last week I received my green card after less than 3 years. This is a very good record for EB2 category. Another Iranian friend of mine took about 7 years to get his GC! Heather Riddick, Art Shifflett, Mathew Chacko, and Rajiv Khanna worked on my cases during this time and I am extremely satisfied by their experience, knowledge, care, and accuracy. Cheers to all of them and thanks again!
I was in my fifth year in USA without starting my LC process. Since it was a critical stage for me, I asked my company and Mr. Khanna to file PERM LC for me ASAP. My contact person, Seema, helped me a lot in preparing the case in a speedy manner and also answered all my questions promptly. Its a very good feeling when you work with nice and professional people. Today after three months of filing my case I received a "Congratulations" email from Seema that my LC got approved. Still have a long way to go but sure its a good start.
PERM filed Nov. 20, 06 Approval notification on Nov. 27, 06 in just 7 days. Excellent teamwork and attention to detail by Amrita and Seema at Rajiv Khanna's office. Highly commendable.
