How can I bring my fiancé to United States, can I apply for him by green card? I am not still a citizen.
There is no fiance visa for non-citizens, but look into the waiting times for spouses of green card holders. Those times are pretty good right now.
I got my BSN in the US, passed NCLEX and got my employment authorization. I am currently on F1 visa, and working at a nursing home. I live in MN and it was extremely hard to get a job. How do I apply for a green card and what role will my employer play in this process? Is it going to cost my employer any money? And how long is it going to take to get a green card?
Your employer's role in this process is limited. You can pay for all expenses yourself. The length of the process is determined by the country of birth.
The attached document explains the criteria.

1. Is it advisable or compulsory to get the prevailing wage determination from the states or Online Wage Library is enough at the time of taking LCA? Because most of the time we are taking the LCAs for the job titles like: Software Engineer, Programmer Analyst and System Analyst for which the wage determination available in the online wage library.
Ans. OES wages can be used as long as the correct job category and job level are used. Applying for prevailing wages from the govt. is time consuming, but does have the benefit of being almost beyond question in case of an audit.
My son was about to age out when his H4 to F1 was denied at US Consulate in Chennai. It was then that we sought help from Immigration.com.
The entire staff there was very professional and their guidance was very invaluable. Their review of our documents was so meticulously.
Mr. Rajiv Khanna is very knowledgeable. He literally handheld us and guided us, every single step of the way. We were so comfortable working with him that we felt we were working with a family well wisher, (besides the fact that he is a top notch immigration attorney) who was always there for us, wanting us to succeed.
But for him, we would not have made it.
Thank you, Rajiv Sir, for helping us with my son's visa and keeping our family together.
Special thanks to Kalpana, Pavithra and others, who patiently took our questions and guided us.
I would VERY STRONGLY recommend their services.

1. I am contemplating switching from H-1B status (in Year 4) to an L2 status (wife holds L1B status) and then applying for EAD. After I receive the EAD (receipt of application sufficient for starting work?), (1) am I allowed to hold on to my current H-1B status or does it automatically lapse upon conversion to L2?
2. Can I hold a CAP-EXEMPT H-1B with an academic institution/ think-tank etc CONCURRENTLY with the L2, (3) work as an independent contractor (1099)?
3. Does EAD allow one to be do multiple things as a free-lance professional?
1. Ans. It lapses upon change of status from the date the status is changed.
2. Ans. You cannot have H-1 and L-2 status at the same time. But on the L-2 EAD you can do both jobs.
3. Ans. Yes.
1. Are we OK in keeping an H1B worker without work as long as we pay him during the project break too - at the LCA wage level.
Ans. You must pay your H-1 workers the legal wage. This is the higher of the prevailing wage or the actual wage. Actual wage is defined as that which you pay other similar employees in the same geographical location. So, as long as you pay the legal wage, there is no problem.

Working with Mr. Rajiv Khanna and Diane was very smooth and professional. I worked with them for L1 A visa and my experience working with them was awesome.
On one hand, while Mr. Khanna was available to personally assist whenever required, Diane on the other hand was very prompt with her communication and was even available outside the regular working hours to attend to my queries.
Their knowledge and help resulted in getting my I797 petition approved without any RFE and eventually post interview get my visa approved.
Would like to sincerely thank Mr. Rajeev Khanna and the entire team for their services.
