I want to Thank Rajiv ji and his team for the invaluable services they provide. While maneuvering the arduous process of immigration, most immigrants need an attorney who understands their concerns and has no qualms in going above and beyond the business relationship. Mr. Khanna and his team do just that..... Go above and beyond. I had burnt my fingers with a law firm in NY, and I had become cynical about the whole process and about the abject indifference some law firms have towards their clients. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have come in contact with Rajiv ji. The best part of Mr. Rajiv khanna's Team is that it comprises of like minded, highly professional, and empathetic individuals. Rena, Anna, Sumanji, And Jagbir took care of my case as if it were one of their own. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for all their sincere efforts and formidable support. Thier professionalism coupled with empathetic attitude is a perfect antidote to the challenges one has to endure during the immigration process. I strongly recommend Mr. Rajiv Khanna and his stellar team. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Sincerely, RM.
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?
See the marked clip below from Rajiv's video recording for the answer to this question.

My sister filed petition for me last year maybe I-130. I am an Indian and my wife is Italian, I am in California nowadays since last week. Can we stay here permanently under I-485 or AOS whatever?
That category takes 13-14 years. During the time you are waiting for your priority date to be current, you cannot stay in the USA just because your green card is pending. You can, however, stay or come to the USA under a visa independent of the green card such as L-1, H-1. You can also apply for a green card in several categories simultaneously.
On July 8, 2013, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) approved OFLC's revised retention schedule following a 30-day period of public notice and review. As part of its review and approval process, NARA determined employer applications for labor certification and supporting documentation, whether retained in paper and electronic form, are temporary records and subject to destruction in accordance with an approved disposition schedule.
It has been a great experience with Mr. Khanna's office. The law office executives and Managers are highly helpful, meticulous, providing assistance even to the simplest query.I would always recommend their service for any immigration assistance.
