CASE : GreenCard My case got stuck at the very last stage and Rajiv offered great help and excellent service and I have to mention, you will not find this kind of prompt service especially when you are tensed and in need of desperate help. My case got resolved with Rajiv's expertise and Heather making multiple calls to USCIS/Customs/other departments. I would like to thank Rajiv and his excellent team of 1. Heather Crump , she is very very very very very helpful, polite, generous, smart and always in track of your case and very very prompt, and also EXCELLENT follow ups. 2. Art Shifflett , he is very very prompt and polite person, he always responds to emails right away and even if you forget he reminds and follow ups, he forwards all questions to appropriate person and makes sure you get the answer you are looking for. 3. Mathew Chacko, he has excellent knowlege and right advice for you, he is very busy yet takes time to reply to your emails and in cases he will call you to discuss what exactly you want and how to go about it, with his expertise you for sure are in safe hands. Rajiv as you know is the head of heads, and is extremely busy, yet he reviews each and every case and always available. If situation arises he jumps in like the superman / spiderman and pulls you out of trouble.

Filing I-824 together with the I-485 - The right thing to do when filing the I-824 is to file both the I-824 together with the I-485 or wait till the I-485 is approved. USCIS identifies the reasons as to why an I-824 is interfiled. However an I-824 should not be rejected or denied only because it is interfiled and the I-485 is not yet approved.
Note: If an I-824 is interfiled, it may not be approved at the same time as the I-485 and the I-485 processing times will apply.
Administrative Appeals Office is an office within USCIS that decides appeals from denials of various petitions by USCIS such as H-1, L-1, I-140 etc .

As of September 18, 2009, approximately 46,000 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been received by USCIS and counted towards the H-1B cap. Approximately 20,000 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits.
Hello everyone Thanks to everyone in the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, particularly to Rajiv Ji, Mathew, Rita and Bharathi. Rita has been very patient in explaining the process from the very beginning. My GC process started in the old labor process. Still I got it after about five and a half years of efforts - which is pretty impressive. Thanks everyone, once again. Regards Sitarama.
Q: Why is the wait so long for my employment-based green card?
We have recently won a case following a Request for Evidence for a professor - Ph.D. in Mass Media and Communication. USCIS requested additional “documentary evidence” to support our claim that the applicant qualified under the EB1 Outstanding Researcher and Professor category based on applicant’s publications, acting as a judge of her peers as well as her original contributions.
I was in need of direction and help on my immigration complications and Mr. Khanna was very patient and prompt in explaining the entire case and steps involved to me. I highly recommend their law office to all who need help and advise related to immigration.
My father in law is a US citizen.He went to India in january 2009.There one of his relative register a false case against him and the Punjab police took away his passport from him.Then the case started in the court.His passport is in the hands of police till now.The judge is just giving him dates.how can he get his passport back? He is still in India.
I checked with Rajiv. He said that a passport is ultimately the property of the issuing government. Punjab police will probably not be able to hold the passport beyond a certain time. We do not practice laws of India (US only). They need to discuss this with local counsel.
I am on H-1B and my spouse is on H-4 EAD. She got her EAD last year. She would like to do online business where she will sell items online on eCommerce website like ebay, amazon, etsy. These items will be shipped from India. I would like to know if she can do such online business where the items are going to be shipped from India.
Of course on H-4 EAD, she can do anything she likes, she can do online business, sell items on ebay amazon no problem at all. These items shipped from India is perfectly fine.
