EB-1A Directly from India and Green Card
I am from India and holding an Indian passport. I work for a IT company. I manage around 250 members.
One of the agencies are tied up with another EB-1 and EB-2 processing agency in USA and informed me that they can help in processing EB1-A visa (Self Petition).<br>
My questions are:<br>
1. Is there a category of Visa as EB1-A?<br>
2. If so, is there a possibility for self - petition? i.e. without an employer?<br>
3. If I file EB1-A, what is the waiting period? Approximate is adequate.<br>
4. Once I get the EB1-A visa, can I self apply for Green card or should there be an employer assisting to file for Green card?<br>
5. If I apply for Green card on an EB1 A, how long generally with it take?<br>
1. Yes. See: http://www.immigration.com/greencard/eb1-green-card/eb-1-extraordinary-…-
2. Yes, self petition is possible under EB-1A.
3. Usually, it takes appx a year for the whole process.

Guestbook Entry for KL, United States
I have worked with Mr. Khanna and his staff on H-1B and green card applications for a few of my employees over the last 4 years. Never having done this before previously and with very limited knowledge of the immigration arena, I have found all of the staff members to be extremely helpful! There is never a time where I can't ask questions or seek guidance. Communication is very important and they never dissapear on me. Rather than it feeling like a client-lawyer relationship, I feel like it is more of a partnership. They are here to make the process smooth and as painless as possible. I would recommend their services to anyone who is in need, whether it be an individual or an employer.
Mr. Khanna is the best in the Business (if you don’t agree with me, he is certainly one of the Best). His law firm is handling both my H1-B and Green Card, and my experience has always been really really very very good. Mr. Khanna has a very good team but when crises arise or there is confusion in the application process he will directly get involved – this means a lot - as the best and brightest person in us immigration arena is dealing your case. I very highly recommend his law firm.
