Comment
I would like to really thanks a lot for the guidance provided by the law office of Mr.Rajiv during my H1 extension process. In my case it was a double RFE and the whole team worked a lot to get me out of it. Finally got my H1 approved. I can strongly recommend taking services from Mr.Rajiv's law firm as I personally feel we are in safe hands.
I-140, Education Foreign Degree Equivalence
The applicant completed a three-year Diploma in Computer Engineering from an accredited institution in India (Government Polytechnic Mumbai). The applicant was then directly admitted to the second year Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) program at an advanced level and completed the four-year degree B.E. program.
We provided several items of evidence that indicated that the applicant had attained the foreign equivalent of a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering from an accredited U.S. college or university.
The I-140 was approved.

I-140 Petition Through Premium Processing
Question details
Should I file my I-140 petition through regular processing or premium processing?
Currently USCIS is accepting premium processing for certain I-140 categories. In addition to the regular filing fee, there is an additional $1,225.00 filing fee to upgrade to premium processing. If an I-140 is filed with premium processing, USCIS will issue a determination or an RFE within 15 calendar days.
Typically, these are some of the reasons when an I-140 should be filed through premium processing:
1) When an I-140 approval is needed to extend H-1 beyond the 6 years. Please see Rajiv’s blog entry for more information:
Green Card through Consular Processing with Approved I-140
Question details
Question 1. I have done MS from US and worked on H-1 for 5 years. Started GC process, I-140 approved with Priority date May 2011. Came to India for H-1 stamping and it was denied twice. If I apply for my H-1 and if I don't get H-1, then can my employer continue processing my GC through Consular Processing when I am in India. Also is there any law stating that my employer can not keep the I-140 when my H-1 has been expired & if it so then for how long can my employer keep my I-140 active?
Question 2. If my employer revoke my I-140 & if I come to US on any other visa, then Can I process my GC and port the PD ?
Answer 1. As long as the job offer exists and the employer is capable of paying the wages, the green card process can go on, even though you are not in USA. You should discuss this matter in detail with your lawyers to better understand the implications. Also, I-140's do not expire.
Answer 2. PD can be ported even if the 140 is revoked by employer. I have a video on this issue
We have great trust in this firm and we have been receiving excellent service. We strongly suggest using services of Mr. Khanna for any immigration related cases. We wish them all the best.
