I am currently located in India and working as a Technical Architect in software MNC. I had a prior H1B valid from Feb 2008 till Dec 2014 which was sponsored by my previous company and has about 17 days left in it to complete a total of 6 years. After this I have joined a new firm, so wish to know if my current company or a new company can file for a Green Card while I am still in India. If yes , what is the way forward?

This forum has been very helpful, and motivational for me. I finally got approved after almost 3 yrs.
On April 10, USCIS used a computer-generated random selection process to select enough H-1B petitions to meet the congressionally-mandated regular cap and the U.S. advanced degree exemption for fiscal year (FY) 2020. After completing the random selection process for the regular cap, USCIS also determined that it has received a number of petitions projected as sufficient to meet the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S.

In January 2017, the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) modified how it presents processing time information. Previously, the AAO reported, by form type, the average completion time for the month’s cases. But certain scenarios (such as a month with few completions in certain categories) could result in an imprecise portrayal of processing times.
U.S. citizens (USC) and Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) may file immigrant visa petitions with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of a spouse or child, so that these family members may immigrate to or remain in the United States. Sadly, certain cases exist where U.S. citizens and LPRs misuse their control of this process to abuse their family members. Consequently, most battered immigrants are fearful to report the abuse to the police or other authorities out of fear of losing their immigration benefits.

I spoke with Rajiv Sir on two accounts regarding two separate issues. He was very helpful, unlike others who tried to scare me about my situation form time to time. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to him. I would recommend his services to everyone. He is someone who actually knows his job. He is highly knowledgeable in the matters of US immigration. Above everything else, he has a heart.

Introduction
The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State announced on, July 13, 2011, that Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov signed a bilateral adoptions agreement that will strengthen procedural safeguards in adoptions between our countries.
I have had my J1 Waiver transfer and H1B visas through the firm , and had a very nice and fruitful experience,J1 waiver transfer was tricky and challenging but Rena Wadell and Anna Baker handled it successfully I would specially thank Rena Wadell and Diane Lombardo for their prompt and polite service ,I would definitely recommend them to any one unconditionally.
I would like to appreciate Mr.Khanna for his service and would like to recommend my friends to take up his service for any future needs. I had an issue and he gladly offered me a free consultation and surprisingly when I asked him 'should I take your firm service for the issue?' - He said not required and it can be done by me. This shows the greatness of this firm and stands as a proof to show they do "Service" and not just charge clients like others do earn money. In addition a person like Mr. Rajiv who has a well established name not only provided free consolation but also more amazingly - prior to the conference he has gone through/read my issue and gave the solution without asking me to explain the issue again.
ThanksThanks
