FAQ: EB-3 petition downgrade; CSPA protection for 21 year old son I-485 Green Card final interview process/questions asked, etc. Retaining valid H-1B status while AOS is pending and when to file Supplement J
Release Date
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is seeking data and information from the public that DHS intends to use to develop a public charge regulatory proposal. The purpose of public comment is to ensure that the proposal is fair, consistent with law, and informed by relevant data and evidence. Public comment also will help DHS ensure that the proposed regulation does not impose undue burdens on noncitizens seeking admission to or adjustment of status in the United States.
USCIS recently updated the following USCIS form(s):
1) Most attorneys don't recommend to abandon H1B status while AOS is pending.
What are the chances of AOS denial for someone who has had a clean history and is a law abiding alien living in the US waiting for AOS?
2) What are your thoughts about the timing of filing I-485 J? Upon job change, should it be filed proactively or wait for RFE Won't it delay the AOS adjudication if it's not filed proactively?
I do not think you should let your H-1B or even L-1 lapse just because you have a I-485 pending. There are times when things go wrong with the I-485. So it's such an easy thing to maintain your H-1B.
As far as the I-485 J is concerned, I personally feel that the Adjustment Of Status Supplement J should be filed as quickly as possible as it will give you an additional protection. More...

My son turns 21 years in August, and as per the August Visa Bulletin my EB3 Downgrade petition is current. Does this means my sons is covered under the CSPA and eligible for EAD renewals?
There are two dates based upon which green card applications move one date is the date for filing and the other date is the final action dates. Your CSPA protection is covered by the final action dates; the visa bulletin dates when they become current. Dates for his final action dates must become current before he turns 21, if they slide back again, that's not a problem but for one time they must become current. More...

1) Please list out what are the documents need to be carried for final interview by main applicant and the dependents?

1. Always tell the truth.
2. It is okay to say I don't know. Also, if you are struggling to reply you can say I don't remember and always ask for a clarification if something is not clear. More...

I have worked with Rajiv Khanna for all my immigration matters so far. My H1B, 140, 485 etc were all processed by the lawyers working at this firm. Each & every member of this organization is very organized & meticulous with quick turnaround. Rajiv'ji provides direction in complicated situations and always takes care of the client. Now I am processing my 3nd H1B amendment with this group and hopefully I get my GC soon.
According to the latest report from "Indian Express"

It was great working with Rajiv, Anna, and Aneet. They addressed all my queries. We went through all the processes, and every week we were updated about the progress and followed a path. The team is not money-minded, so ensured that everything is submitted in a detailed manner. They explain everything why it is done, so you understand it before putting in the effort and money.
5 stars for promptness, availability, quick response, attention to detail, knowledge, and experience.
