Mr. Rajiv Khanna helped us alot with our company's green cards and H-1B extensions. It was great working with Anna & Rena in the H-1B department and also in the green card department Seema, Richa, Prerna & Matthew helped us with PERM and I-140. Last but not least I would like to thank Leslie for scheduling the calls.
We have used the services of Mr. Rajiv S. Khanna for H-1B Visas for over the 10 years and found him to be reliable and up to date with latest information/regulations. All our cases have been successful and he has knowledgeable and courteous staff.
Mr Rajiv a humble person with vast knowledge on immigration helped me in getting out of(H1B) bad times and helping to me and my family to keep up the spirits............
My fiance is from Pakistan, currently working in Kenya.He has done IT and Web-design. He is willing to work in the United States, Is it possible to get the visa?
It is possible if he has the relevant degrees and has a job in his field in USA. The most commonly used visa for professional workers is an H-1B visa.
These Questions & Answers address the automatic extension of F-1 student status in the United States for certain students with pending or approved H-1B petitions (indicating a request for change of status from F-1 to H-1B) for an employment start date of October 1, 2012 under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 H-1B cap.
Q1. What is “Cap-Gap”?
USCIS has indicated that 22,323 cap-subject H-1B petitions had been received as of April 4, 2012.
Approximately one quarter (1/4) of these cases are for advanced degrees. According to USCIS, the number of filings received is almost double the number of filings received by USCIS during the same time last year. It would appear that H-1B numbers are likely to get exhausted a lot earlier than last year. Therefore, it is advisable to submit any quota subject cases as soon as possible to ensure timely filings before the quota is reached.
WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced it continues to accept H-1B nonimmigrant petitions that are subject to the fiscal year (FY) 2013 cap. The agency began accepting these petitions on April 2, 2012.
