Comment
I filed for my H 1 visa less than a month back through Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, and got the petition letter approved today. The way Rajiv and his employees' handle each case is worth appreciating. Their dedication, support and professionalism, throughout the process is commendable. I can very confidently say that the pain they took to cover even the tiniest point is worth mentioning. This is the reason why they are so successful.

Question details
I am already on a cap-exempt H-1B working for a non-profit full time. Another employer filed my H-1B petition on the cap-subject quota on april 2018 and got an RFE april 2019 and was denied with a reason for maintaining of status. They asked my paystubs from my current employer. My questions are:
1. will there be any impact to my current H-1B?

I applied for my Initial H1-B Extension .I was scared as the USCIS was asking too many questions abiut the project,codes and othe evidences as I also received an RFE for my case. But I really want to thank Rajiv Khanna and his staff at the non-immigrant office who was very calm and prepared a point - to -point response and also Rajiv personally reviews all the responses sent to the USCIS. So my case was approved yesterday and I really appreciate thier work.
