Question details
Hello Rajiv Ji,
Thanks for your time and responses (over the email). I have below questions.
1) I am an EB-2, with Priority date Jun-2008. Applied i-485 in Jan-2012. Cut-off date became current in July-2014. Through congressperson / infopass found that my application is in background checks.
1.a) I have given fingerprints 2.5 years ago and background checks are not cleared yet. so what are my options in expediting it?
1.b) My worry is the checks may not be cleared before next time dates become current, and I may be in the same situation again.
1.b) Can I use Writ of Mandamus? Does my case (485 pending for 2.5 years, current for 2.5 months, but background checks are not completed yet) have enough reasons to claim "unreasonable delay"?
2) I am using my EAD. My labor says "Senior Analyst" as my job title.
2.a) Can I accept a promotion with a director/managerial job title ?
2.b) or does it cause a problem / RFE in future? Duties are more or less similar and work on same software technology, but will have few direct reports and need to manage projects.
3) Can I switch to H1-B as a safe measure?
3.a) Does switching mean I am abandoning my GC?
3.b) Do I need to go out of the country for stamping or can I continue to work without going out?
3.b) what are the risks involved?
My wife and I received our I-485 approval on July 3rd 2010 EB2 Category with PD September 23 2005. Rajiv S. Khanna was our attorney and he has simply wonderful team of case workers.I like to thank personally Prerna Mehta who was very helpful in every step of my I 485 and I 140 process. Also I want to thank Richa Narang for following up with me regarding GC filing during initial stages which lead to my GC approval. I like to thank Rita Dhakal who helped me in filing I 485 case by reviewing the file very carefully and pointing out any mistakes and it lead to my I485 approval. This is a great team of attorneys who you cannot get any where else. They are highly professional and very efficient. They are very polite and calm whenever you call them and also you get the response very quickly. Over all this was a great experience for me personally. I would consult them in the future if I need any immigration related legal advice. All I can say is that they both feel just like family and are truly the best team i have worked with for any such legal matters or otherwise. Thanks to Rajiv and his excellent team.
