Hi All, Rajiv has been a great help to me in understanding the H-1B/Green process as well as answering all my queries at NO CHARGE when I am not even an existing client of Rajiv.

Green Card Expenses

14 years ago By Chief Editor
Question details

For an employment-based green card application in the EB2 category, my employer has said that they would be willing to make the application if I am willing to pay for it. Can the employee bear the total cost of the entire process -- including attorney's processing fees, filing fees for all stages, advertising fees, EAD, advance parole fees -- from start to final stamping?

The employer is bound by law to pay for all expenses, including legal fees, associated with the PERM process (but not the rest of the green card process).

Mr. Khanna has sound judgement and deep knowlege about US Immigration laws. He gave me an honest and straightforward answer everytime I've had a complex situation in the past ten years on a range of issues from F1 to H1 to GC. The staff at Mr. Khanna's office is awesome too. They are very efficient and have good templates for most forms.

The U.S. Department of State's Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting Division, has confirmed a dramatic reduction in the use of EB-1 immigrant visa numbers and the resulting favorable effect on the EB-2 category for immigrant visas chargeable to India.

DOS advised that demand for visa numbers in the EB1 category has declined significantly. Thus, approximately 12,000 unused EB1 numbers will be available to shift downward to the EB2 category, starting in May 2011.

Perm process during OPT

14 years ago By Chief Editor
Question details

I completed my master’s degree last summer and started working with a company from 2 months.
I am in OPT status right now and I wanted to know, if I am eligible to file for Green Card process with my current employer. If yes can I file in EB2? I have 2 years IT experience in India If no, do I have to wait until I get H1b. Is the Green card process dependent on H1B?

This question requires your lawyers to assess the case. Generally speaking nothing stops you from filing a PERM application while on OPT and an Eb2 appears possible.

Job description for the EB-2

14 years ago By Chief Editor
Question details

I've been working for the company that is sponsoring my green card for the past 2.5 years and some of the experiences/skills required in the Job Description were acquired working with this company. Is it valid to include those skills on the Job Description? Should I have acquired those skills before?

It is possible to use the after-acquired skills only if the job in the past and the green card job are more than 50% different.
