US Work and Immigration Options for Foreign Professionals
A discussion with two members of our community
I have been working within the financial industry in New York since past 6 years on H1-B visa. For my GC and H-1B extension, I chose to work with Mr. Khanna and his extremely capable team. In past 6 years, I have worked with different groups of attorneys for immigration visa things a couple of times, I can easily say that Mr. Khanna and his team was the best. Also, I had so many one-off non-standard situations with my visa application, but everything was very pleasantly accomodated and carefully handled by Mr. Khanna's team. There was no mistakes made and their advisement was absolutely spot on. Very very professional indeed. Thank you very much to all the guys who worked on my applications.
I had an accident and am on disability while my green card adjustment of status application ( form I-485 ) has been pending for over 4 years. My I-140 had been approved about 5 years back but my case has been caught up in the visa backlogs at USCIS and Department of State. I wanted to know if there was any provision for help in the immigration laws, in case I am sent for long term disability or my employment is terminated before I receive my green card. I learnt that employment and disability are subjects to be discussed with a benefits or employment attorney. The only immigration benefits are via AC 21 or via a private bill. Also, that one should not loose the advance parole anytime while the AOS is pending. I want to thank Mr. Rajiv Khanna for his generosity with time and expert guidance. Over the phone I found him to have a very pleasant personality. he had me feel comfortable and didnt seem money minded at all.
