Question details
1. One of my friend had his 140 approved in 2005. He has his 485 pending since 2005. now he got RFE which essentialy says that 140 was approved in error and asks for ability pay prooof. Can USCIS go back and raise RFE's in this manner?
2. If yes then would he have been better if he had changed the job using AC21 ? My impression was that Once one is eligible for ac21( 180 days past 485) , RFE's related to old employer should not come. seeing this , using AC21 seems very risky. what happens if someone changes job and then USCIS says that 140 approved was in error , and asks for bunch of proof from the old company. what is your take?
1. There is some legal argument for saying no, but in my opinion, USCIS can do this. In fact, I think there is a 9th circuit case from last week that says they can.
2. My take is AC21 would be a better idea, although, not fool proof.
I detest this current trend of USCIS of over-scrutinizing every case and making impossible demands while operating in an environment of regulation by memorandum. I could share some horror stories with you.
Mr Rajiv Khanna and his staff are the best!! I had my green card filed through them in 2001 and their response to all my queries was always prompt and perfect! Lately, I am hiring their services for filing H1B for my newly formed company and as usual Mr Rajiv Khanna has taken personal interest and devoted his time in understanding our situation and recommending the best options. His staff is always forthcoming in helping us meet the timelines and answering our questions promptly. So much appreciated and what a pleasant experience! No wonder our first H1B was filed through him and recently was selected in the lottery. We look forward to additional Visa sponsorships from him. Awesome work, Mr Khanna! You are an inspiration for everyone. My best wishes to you and your staff!! Shashi Prakash CEO, Net Serpents www.netserpents.com www.hadoopexpress.com
