It was great help from Rajiv Sir to advice free to F1 students issues and questions. My friend recommended me to contact Rajiv Khanna Law Firm. God bless you with everything you wish. I applied my OPT and got rejected because of applied ahead of time. Then I again applied and got it. Now I have completed my program but still not have degree. I was worrying about my next status without having US degree in hand. But Mr. Rajiv suggested and explained it in real good manner and now I am just going with that flow. Thank you Mr. Khanna for your service to community in USA.
This is a great service. Mr. Khanna is very polite, considerate, and knows his profession very well. I did not pay him anything for consultation and yet he was very forthcoming and very generous in his time. He knows the ropes of the USCIS.
Following is our experience for OCI reissue at Houston:
I finally had my oath ceremony today at Cadman Plaza US District Court, Brooklyn.
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano has extended Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Next week, the Department of Homeland Security will publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing this decision.
The Federal Register notice will provide additional guidance on:
The Department is announcing the implementation of electronic filing in the H-2A and H-2B visa programs through the Department's iCERT Visa Portal System. We believe this new electronic filing capability will enhance the accessibility and quality of labor certification services, reduce the data collection and reporting burden on small employers, facilitate more streamlined business processes, and establish greater transparency in the Department's decisions.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds Syrian nationals (and persons without nationality who last habitually resided in Syria) that the registration deadline for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is Sept. 25, 2012.
Syrian nationals who have continuously resided in the United States since March 29, 2012, and who meet other TPS eligibility requirements, must file their applications for TPS with a postmark date no later than Sept. 25, 2012. The TPS designation for Syria will remain in effect through Sept. 30, 2013.
Do you have questions about the SAVE program?
I attended the Naturalization Interview today June 10th at the Newark USCIS office. The officer went over application and asked a few questions.
And then, he went on to give the English, History and govt test. he asked me to write a simple sentence and then asked me about 6 questions, all of which were from the 96 questions on the USCIS web site.
After the interview, the officer handed me the N-652 form, which has the following boxes checked:
1. You have passed the tests of English and U.S History and Government.
I had my interview today at 8:20AM. The interviewer called me in around 9:20AM.
He first went through the whole N-400 and asked me every question. It was like orally filling the form out. Then I told him about my traffic tickets. There were two - one in 2002 and the other in 2003. Both were speeding tickets (no DUI or anything like that). I had proof that both tickets were paid and kept the originals. He then asked to see my Selective Services card which I showed him. Then the english and history tests. I got all 10 questions correct.
The Department is in the process of implementing electronic filing in the H-2B programs through the iCERT Visa Portal System. This page will contain information related to the implementation of electronic filing in the H-2B programs, including technical details about accessing four training webinar sessions.

USCIS updated the following USCIS form(s):
Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification
08/01/2023 09:59 AM EDT
I have an approved I-140 with COMPANY A. However, I have recently moved to COMPANY B, and they have initiated the green card process on my behalf. I prefer not to include my experience with COMPANY A in the PERM filing with COMPANY B. My understanding of the terms with company A is limited, and I may encounter difficulties in obtaining experience letters and supporting documents from COMPANY A. Could omitting my experience with COMPANY A cause any potential problems when COMPANY B files the I-140 & PERM and requests the previous priority date from COMPANY A.
There is no need to omit past employers.

Release Date
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced changes to the way USCIS issues receipts for L-1 nonimmigrant intracompany transferees (executives, managers, or specialized knowledge professionals) under a previously approved blanket L petition.
I have an EB3 I-140-based EAD currently. If I set up a software firm for myself, can I sponsor EB2 or EB1 I-140 for myself? The main reason why I want to sponsor myself is I would not be under the constant fear that my employer may withdraw my I-140 for one or other reason. I will be able to work for myself. Is there any rule that stops me from filing an employment-based immigration petition for myself?
The answer is largely No, except under limited EB-1C circumstances.
I am on H1B with company A and currently working remotely from India. Given US rules don't apply in India -
1. Can I work for company B which is based in India and whose payroll also runs in India?
2. Can I start my own company in India while being on H1B for a US company?
The answer to both questions is that there is no problem.
1. How can I set up an LLC/CCORP company for a startup while on H1B?
2. How to become a board member and founder without being an employee while maintaining legal H1B status as per USCIS?
As long as you are only dealing with the USCIS and don't have to travel, I don't see any problem. The key factor is the employer-employee relationship, not the ownership.
I would really like to thank Mr. Khanna for providing me very precise & clear-cut advice on the immigration issues. It was a great pleasure dealing with Mr Khanna; he is very thorough, knowledgeable & friendly to work with. Regards, Nakul Saluja
