WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THIS FIRM SINCE LONG TIME. THEY ARE EXPERTS IN IMMIGRATION RELATED.
WOULD RECOMMEND ALL
Our organization has worked with Mr. Khanna for almost 10 years, and retained their services for our immigration needs related to H1 and Green Card filings. Mr. Khanna’s advice has helped us as well as our employees in the most critical immigration related issues. I have worked very closely with Anna Baker, Rena Waddell and Vijay Durgam. I would say that Mr. Khanna has an excellent team in place, extremely approachable, efficient, having an eye for detail, helpful and professional. Inspite of the large volume of cases handled by their office; they manage to review minute details of each case, bring forth concerns if any in a timely manner, along with solutions to handle the concerns. We have secured a 100% success rate in all our filings till date through their office. Reason – efficient and trained staff, and above all Mr. Khanna who has always made himself available for any guidance which may be required. The community conference calls hosted by Mr. Khanna have been highly appreciated by employers as well as employees. This is a free service to the community and is commendable. Mr. Khanna has always provided the right guidance, at the same time keeps his clients updated with latest regulations / amendments. We look forward to work with him for many more years to come. Would highly recommend Mr. Khanna’s office for any immigration related matters and guidance. Good Luck to you and your team Mr. Khanna; keep up the good work! Appreciate it!
It was a delightful experience working with Rajiv Khanna Law offices. They are very accurate and prompt responding.
The whole team at Mr. Khanna's firm is extremely professional and experienced. I recently changed jobs and my new company had no experience working on H1 transfers. Mr. Khanna and his team were extremely patient with us in guiding us through the process and making sure every detail is captured and accurate. They really care about the employee and I believe that is what sets them apart.
Rajiv is very responsible,humble and loving person.His staff is reflection of his personality. He is Knowledgeable and most honest attorney. Rajiv is phenomenal and it is treat to consult with him.God bless his family and team Krishan
Couple of months back I received Employment Based Green Card (H1b to GC) and my dependents received Green Card too (H4 to GC). I had the intention to work for the Employer who sponsored me for the Green Card forever during applying for the Green Card and during the Green Card Interview too. However after working for couple of months for the employer now I am feeling that I should be changing the Employer to a different one near to my home due to the following compelling reasons: I am a Heart Patient and facing Health Issues due to the Travel (4 hours flight travel) that I am making every week to work in the Employer's Client Location for work.
And if I continue to perform my job this way I will affect my health. All the efforts I made to request a work near home did not materialize.
I am planning to search for a new job near my home and if I get it I am planning to put in a Resignation to the present Employer stating the facts about my Health Problems and join the new one.
My Question:
1. Will I face any issues now or in near future during I submit my Citizenship Application due to my employer change just after 2 months of getting the Green Card? If so what are the steps I should take to avoid it?
2. I am planning to save my Payslips / W2 of the Present Green Card Employer and my Heart Health records. Is there a Minimum duration that USCIS expects a Green Card Holder to work for the Green Card Employer?

1. No.

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced the upcoming launch of a package of customer experience improvements for H-1B cap season. The measures are expected to increase efficiency and ease collaboration for organizations and their legal representatives.
USCIS recently updated the following form(s):
Processing Queue | Priority Date |

Analyst Review | January 2023 |
Audit Review | December 2022 |
Reconsideration Request to the CO | March 2023 |
I entered the country back in 2019 to complete my Masters degree (F1 Visa). I am on an H1-B visa, which was approved last year (10/01/2022 - 10/10/2025). However, I have yet to go to India, so visa stamping is incomplete. I got laid off on December 14, 2023, so I am on my 60-day grace period. Suppose I cannot secure a new role within the 60-day grace period. In that case, I am considering changing my status to a B2 visa to extend my stay and continue looking for an opportunity. However, since my H1 visa is not stamped, will that create an issue filling for a change of status to a B2 visa? And when I land a new job returning from B2 to H1, would that be an issue since the visa won't be stamped either?
As long as you have a change of status, such as an F-1 to H-1B change, visa stamping is not an issue when transitioning from a B-2 to H-1B. The key consideration is the validity of your I-94 while inside the USA.
