In January, the Taiwan Child Welfare Bureau issued an administrative order that requires all adoption cases filed on behalf of U.S. prospective adoptive parents with the Taiwan courts to undergo the U.S. PAIR process. The order applies to all currently licensed Taiwan adoption services providers (ASP), and any ASPs which may be licensed in the future.
Rajiv was a pleasure to speak with. His advice was genuine and he was very proactive. It was refreshing to speak with a lawyer who is a true professional and very considerate about his client's situation. Thank you for your help...

“The law permits H-1B visa holders to be non-productive as long as they are paid. It is important to note that employers cannot bench employees without payment of their full salaries,” explains Rajiv S. Khanna, managing attorney at Immigration.com

What is the chance for a L-1A visa holder of 9 years experience (2 years in USA) to qualify for a EB-1 category. Catch here is the original company which provided the L-1A visa will not apply for GC. Can I apply for GC myself in EB-1 category?
You or any company not a part of the L-1A employer cannot apply for green card based upon your international manager/executive status.
1. I am a dentist practicing in California, was working for FQHC ON H1 since 2017. I got temp layoff. As per HR they said placed on unpaid leave. My present status OK or am I on my 60 day grace period? 2. H1 Visa expires JULY, I was told they cant renew my visa until I return to work . How soon or late I have time to apply.
1. First of all the 60-day grace period only begins if you have been terminated from employment. More important for your purposes is that they have to tell you (doesn't have to be in writing) that they are terminating your employment. If they don't tell you they have failed to terminate your employment, so there's no question of a 60-day grace period. You can file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) - US Department of Labor. They will get the money for you.
2. In order to continue working and be in status your H-1B must be received by the USCIS before your current H-1B expires so your deadline is to get the physical filing over to the USCIS before your current status expires.
Rajiv Is an amazing attorney, extremely knowledgeable on immigration matters, he understands even the complex cases right away and gives the best solutions. Even with his busy schedules he is always reachable to his clients. The staff of Law offices of Rajiv S Khanna is very nice and reachable all the time, personally I am with them for the last couple of years and their office has followed up my I-485 case with USCIS and moved it to the local office to get an interview. I would highly recommend them for all immigration related matters. Please feel to contact me if you need any other information.
