The Department of State’s Visa Bulletin for August 2016 reflects a final action date of January 1, 2010*, for EB-4 visas for special immigrants from India.
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.
4. EB-1A IS a green card category. Nothing else is needed.
5. See 3 and 4.

I have two Bachelor's degrees from US universities. A 3-year Bachelor degree in Science and a 2-year Bachelor's degree in engineering. Will I be considered for a EB-2 visa with this?
In case I don't qualify for EB-2, my dilemma is that, I have worked approx 4 years at my current job. Should I wait another year to file EB-2 or should I just file EB-3 now? Also, do internships qualify when counting the number of years of work after school?
Internships do qualify as experience. You need to get your degrees evaluated under AACAO EDGE standards first .
I am very pleased with Mr. Rajiv Khanna and his team of professionals. My Employment based Green Card petition was very diligently prepared by legal experts and submitted promptly. It was approved soon and then on they had always guided for all other immigration formalities. They also counseled me when l had to change my job after I-140 approval so that my petition remained in compliance with all immigration requirement. Also got opportunity to have personal discussion with Mr. Rajiv Khanna on other immigration-tax related issue.
