GC processing service is a grueling process, but at Rajiv Khanna's office they handled very nicely and professionally even at difficult time. Though still my I-485 is not yet filed but on Labor and I-140 filing Rajiv's office shown their professionalism and my special thanks to Amrita, Mathew and Kumuda for their excellent service. I'll update more with how my I-485 filing goes in near future. So far with my experience I can give four stars. ****

My experience with Mr. Khanna's firm was extremely satisfying. I applied for my I-140 earlier this year and recently got an ill-considered RFE. Mr. Khanna and him team were very professional in replying to this RFE and I got my I-140 approved within a week. Their service was very courteous and highly professional. All my e-mail’s got immediate response from both Mr. Khanna and Ms. Lombardo and furthermore, the rest of their team were quiet helpful in calling me promptly and explaining the process thoroughly. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend Mr. Khanna’s firm to anyone.

Supplement J timing and joining previous Employer
Question details
I was working with employer A for 7 years on H1 B and they have filed Labor and I-140 with Priority Date 2014. Now I am on H4 EAD since 2019 and working for employer B for same role .
My Priority date was in filing date chart and my ex employer A agreed and filed my I-485 with form J on November 2020. Do I have to join my old Employer A now or it's fine if I join them after I-485 is Approved? If I don't join them now , will there be any problems in the 485 interview if I intent to join after I-485 approval ? Is it possible that employer B can file form J form after 180 days of I-485 receipt date without joining my old employer A considering my Priority date will be on the final action date after 4, 5 years .

Job Change after I-140 Approval, Before I-485 Submission
Question details
I have a PERM and i-140 approved by my previous employer. My priority date is 15 Mar 2015. I changed my employer in Jan-2020 with a similar job occupation. I was told that I don’t need to file a completely new process for PERM and i-140 with the new employer but the new employer can file an i-485J form when the priority date is current to complete the remaining GC process. Is this a valid process to complete my adjustment of status(i-485) and apply for EAD? What are the complications involved of going through the route with old i-140 and getting an approved i-485? If that option is not viable, will I have to file a new i-140 with the new employer? There’s got to be an easier way of dealing with this, because I’m sure many people have changed their employer after their i-140 approval.

Loss of H-1B Job and Opting for B-2 Visa
Question details
1) I lost my job almost 6 months ago. I was on H1B with I-140 approved. I filed for a change of status to B2 (not approved yet). Now I have to extend again since I wasn't able to find a job and cannot move out of the USA right now.
How long/many times can one extend a B2 under the given circumstances?<br>
2) If for whatever reason say the original B2 petition filed in July gets denied do I get illegal presence for all these months from July? How long(days/weeks) does a person has to leave the country in this case?
<br>
3) Any suggestion on what steps to take if USCIS does not approve COS from B2 (pending) to H1b but processes as consular processing. I am a Canadian resident but I heard only emergency visa appointments are available.

1. Until the B-2 is denied you could try to keep getting it extended.
2. No, as long as a timely filed B-2 was pending you have no unlawful presence.
