Comment
My wife and I got our Green Cards through the Law Offices of Rajiv S Khanna. Every single employee who handled our files starting with the Labor Certification through the I-140 process and the I-485 application was a pleasure to work with and was extremely professional and helpful. I can definitely see why 'The Law Offices of Rajiv S Khanna' has such a great (and well deserved) reputation across the US.
B visa while GC pending or similar situation
Question details
After a long-term relationship, earlier this year I married a U.S. citizen. I do not want to change my immigration status and do not wish to immigrate nor reside permanently in the United States since we both have steady jobs outside the U.S. and I do not want to leave my country. All I want is to be able to travel temporarily into the U.S. for pleasure and leisure as most tourists do, once or twice a year for a couple of weeks each time.
I want to know if I can just apply for a new B-1/B-2 tourist visa to travel into the U.S. or if my husband needs to file an I-130 petition for alien relative and I-129 and K visa thereafter instead –which I understand would be the right process if I ever wanted to adjust status or become a U.S. permanent resident.
This is upto the discretion of the consulate and then again upto CBP when you land in USA. Consulates have the discretion to issue you a B visa - despite your presumed immigrant intent - if they are convinced that you will return. This is true for all cases where a B (or F or similar) visa is sought while GC is pending or could be pending.
Green Card through Citizen brother
Question details
My brother got US Citizenship this month. I would like to apply Green Card using my brother's citizenship.Is it possible ? How long it will take . Now I am holding H1B.
This is usually not a feasible option. To see how long it would take, look at the Visa Bulletin:
http://www.immigration.com/newsletter/vbarchive.html
You will note that it will take more than a decade to get a green card through family-based category 4. You are not permitted to stay in the USA just because this application is pending.
Mr. Rajiv Khanna, Mr. Kunal Sharma and the rest of the team have been very patient and extremely supportive.
I had filed for my immigrant visa through my spouse, and it was quite complicated. Couple of the other lawyers we spoke to said that there are no chances in winning this case, but Mr Khanna was firm, that the fundamentals are right and thus we have a good chance. Finally, after 2 long years, my immigrant visa has been approved.
What impressed me the most is the Mr. Khanna would immediately schedule an appointment (no charge, of course) every time there was some news from the immigration office or from my side. Even during the final stages, I had asked him a few questions regarding my DS-260 as i was very nervous, he scheduled an appointment immediately and told me exactly what to answer in each question. They made me feel as if I was their only customer. Excellent effort and care for each case by the team, and I would surely refer his firm to everyone.
