From 2003 I have been working with Rajiv Khanna's office. My thanks to Rajiv,Subha,Roopa and Tarun. My questions were always answered on time. Tarun deserves a special mention.He had been quite helpful and was always very prompt in dealing with all the issues. Hopefully I will be able to write a "thank you" note soon once my Green Card comes through.

Layoff during Self-NIW application, changing jobs with NIW not yet filed, pending or approved
Question details
I started the self-NIW application while working with employer A, but for some reason, I could not file the petition. Later I got laid off from employer A and now I'm working with employer B.
I want to restart the NIW application. Questions:
1. Since I got laid off with employer A, will that be a challenge/red flag in my petition?
2. It's only been one month with employee B. Shall I wait some time at company B to restart my NIW application? or doesn't it matter?
FAQ Transcript
Answer 1. Being laid off is not a challenge/red flag.
Answer 2. There's no reason it should be. You don't need to wait to restart the application. You can file it even though you've only been with employer B for a month.

Benefits of National Interest Waiver
Question details
Two general questions,
1. What are the benefits of filing an EB2 NIW for a person whose I-140 has already been approved by an employer in the same category apart from NIW, not depending on your employer? Also, can you get your I140 approved priority date to your NIW?
2. Is it possible to renew the H-1B visa stamp before expiration? For example, if my H1B expires on November 1st and I apply for a visa stamp in October with approved extension I797, Would I be able to renew it?
FAQ Transcript
While an approved I-140 with an employer offers some benefits, an EB-2 NIW grants portability - you can keep your green card across job changes in your field. It also allows extending your H-1B past the 6-year limit and enables your spouse to work and travel with you. For those with backlogged priority dates (e.g., India), NIW can help with I-130 petitions in specific situations. If your I-140 is approved already, the main advantage of NIW becomes self-sponsorship. Finally, you can renew your H-1B visa stamp before expiry, though consulate lead times (like four months) might apply.
The team work at Law Offices of Rajiv S Khanna reflects the vastly experience, committed staff, prompt responses, which can be seen only in the leaders of their business.
Special thanks to the entire team, including Rajiv, Mathew, and Rita for their work for my green card process.
