Mr. Khanna is very helpful. He gives right decesion which is suitable for client. I really thank him and very happy to work with him in future. MB
My mom lost her extension approval letter and couldn't board the flight from India because airline authorities said that letter is required. Thank you Mr. Khanna for your suggestion of contacting my area congressman to get the details of missing extension approval letter. That was very helpful and I got those details. I have all the information to file I-824 to get a copy of extension approval letter.

I have found Rajiv Khanna to be very forthcoming always. He has helped me numerous times on immigration issues and questions that we have had in the past. Unlike some other attonerys Rajiv takes the time to explain each issue. I would strongly recommend to use the services of the law offices of Rajiv Khanna to all.

[Public Notice 8332]
I have a valid H-1B until April 2014. I left my employment with my company March 2013 and we were in the process of applying for the GC. I did not have time to find another employer and file a GC application before entering my final year. Therefore even if I transferred my H-1B I still would have had to leave in 2014. Therefore I have decided to come back to England for a year and reapply when I have completed 365 days out. I have 2 questions:
1) Does my time start from when I left the US or do I have to cancel my H-1B?
2) If I go back to visit, I assume I just visit under the visa waiver?
1. The one year out starts when you leave USA.
2. It may be best not to visit during that year.
We represented a physician working for a healthcare network within several counties of a Medically Underserved Area (MUA). Initially, we submitted the required documents, but the tricky issue was the division of the physician’s service over several counties. The approval in this case required that we work closely with officials from the State Health Department to provide proper documentation and verification of the full-time nature of the job, albeit across several areas and proof of physician shortage within each area.

Extension of the Designation of El Salvador for Temporary
Protected Status
Over the last few years, approvals of L-1B cases have become particularly difficult. An L-1B (Intra-Company Transfer Visa) petitioner retained us after receiving a Request for Evidence from USCIS requiring additional proof that the beneficiary had specialized knowledge and that the job duties required an individual with unique knowledge of the petitioner’s complex technology. We provided documentation to show that the beneficiary had skills that could not be obtained in the open market. We were also able to show that, within the petitioner’s employee pool, the beneficiary was unique and
Mr. Khanna and his team have been processing my H1B application this year and I only have words of gratitude for them. You really feel like they care about you and are always willing to give you the best service. I had some questions about travelling outside the USA during the CAP-GAP extension. Eugene set up a conference call with Mr. Khanna right away and they answered all my questions and also sent me an email with the USCIS regulations that covered these issues. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in a similar situtation.
USCIS recently updated the lockbox filing location information for the following form(s). Please see the “Where to File” section of the webpage for your form.
Release Date
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is publishing an update to its Policy Manual to clarify that a current or former service member who received an uncharacterized discharge may be eligible for naturalization under sections 328 and 329 of the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA).

Question: I have been in the U.S since 2017, and my F1 visa expires this month due to the 5 year validity period.
Answer: First of all, unless you are traveling, you do not have to renew your visa. If the visa expires while you're still completing your course, it's absolutely no problem.

I am currently working at a company in India. I am eligible to claim Employee Stock Option (ESOPS) on 17th August 2022. However, I will be landing in Dallas, USA on 10th August on F-1 Visa (For Fall 22). The company will still offer those ESOPs, but the official relieving date will be on 17th August. From 9th August onwards till 17th August, I will be on Loss of Pay Leave i.e (unpaid leave). I am worried that situation would create a conflict with my F-1 visa status.
1. I want to know whether this is legal as I will be employed at a company in India for 7 days after arrival in the U.S. on an F-1 visa.
2. Whether this will cause problems in future when I apply for OPT or H-1B or even EB-3 as my previous employment end date is 7 days after arrival in the U.S.?
1. It appears that you are getting a benefit based on the work you have already done. You will NOT be performing any "new" work for the Indian company.
2. I do not see this as an issue.

If I request a name change on form N400, will it take longer to adjudicate the case? Is the name change processed by the adjudicating officer or by a judge?
It can take longer. The USCIS notes:
You can legally change your name after filing your application for naturalization with USCIS. If your name has changed after you filed a naturalization application, you must promptly provide USCIS with the document(s) that legally changed your name(s), such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, court order, or other official record. Make sure to mention your name change and bring the documents related to your name change at the time of the interview.
