Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today launched the “Blue Campaign”—a DHS-wide initiative to combat human trafficking through enhanced public awareness, victim assistance programs, and law enforcement training and initiatives.
I want to apply for a K 1 visa for my fiance and her 10 year old child. What is the waiting period for this visa type, and what can I do to expedite the process.
The processing times can be determined from this page http://www.immigration.com/processing-times-and-status-checks. As to expedite, check with USCIS customer service if they have any recommendations.
I have completed my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science Engineering (4yrs) and working as a Subject Matter Expert in US on L1B visa with a work experience of 4yrs. I have completed 2 Microsoft certifications and AICPCU certifications. Will I be eligible for processing Green card on EB-2 category ?
You will need 5 years of post-bachelor's experience. Certifications do not usually help.
I am an OT practicing here in the US and came from another country. I graduated with BSOT and had an OT VOLUNTEER work for 2 years in an adult setting back home. Would that count as a part of the 5 years experience? And from that 2 years, I was not yet licensed OT for the first 6months.
GENERALLY speaking, for EB-2, there is no requirement that I know of mandating paid experience. Volunteer experience could potentially be used.
I recently switched jobs and had my H1-B transferred from Company A to Company B. I have all the H1-B sponsorship documents in place from Company B.
I am married and my wife is on H4 visa. My wife is currently in India and she has a valid visa and I-94 based on my Company A H1. My wife’s visa and I-94 are valid thru Sept. 30, 2010.
My question is, although I have the all the approved papers for my wife’s new H4 visa based on Company B, instead of having her go for a re-stamping can she fly back on her old but valid visa and I-94?
I am exteremly impressed by Rajiv Khanna law firm and my case manager Amrita.I got audited on my PERM labor clearance. With Mr.Khanna and his team, I got my LC approved on 1/7/08. A big thanks to the entire team and special kudos to my case manager Amrita. She was very prompt and readily availabe whenever I had any questions. I would highly recommend Rajiv Khanna law associates for green card filing. My sincere thanks to Attorney Sheena too.

Bhavna

I have come to US through my company with my L1 Visa. I am currently working with my client. There is an agreement between my company and my client not to hire my company employees within 6 months after quitting. I cannot move to any other company here in US as i am on L1. My company is not willing to file H1 either. If I have to move to a different company I should have a H1 Visa filed.
Recently my client offered me to join their company, but I don't have my H1 and i cannot join my client company even if i get my H1 because of the 6 months restriction. What are the different options to join my client.
This seems to be an issue of contract only. Immigration law does not stop you from changing.
Our green card applications just got approved and now we are waiting for the cards to arrive. Law offices of Rajiv Khanna did a wonderful job in our green cards processing. Rajiv Khanna is a nice person and his advice through phone calls and emails helped us in resolving the issues. Rajiv's team is one of the best team I have ever worked with and they beat my expectations in terms of QUALITY of service. Especially Amrita and Bharathi are helped me several times and they are very helpful and prompt in responding to emails. I would strongly recommend Law offices of Rajiv Khanna to anyone in the future who require immigration assistance.
At present, the United States has two main programs for temporarily importing low-skilled workers, sometimes referred to as guest workers. Agricultural guest workers enter through the H-2A visa program, and other guest workers enter through the H-2B visa program. Employers interested in importing workers under either program must first apply to the U.S. Department of Labor for a certification that U.S.

I want to know whether I am eligibile for EB2. Following are the key information. Is it a requirement to have 5 years experiences outside of US ? I have combined experiences of 6 years (US +India).
Education - B.Tech (Electronics) in 2004 from India
Experiences - 6 Years ( 3 years in India and 3 Years in US)
With a four-year Bach. Degree and more than five years of post Bach experience, you should be able to have a shot at EB2.
I have a concern regarding EB2 application in my current employer, I will complete my 5 years experience next year and they are willing to promote me as a Clinical Specialist to count my 1 year and 1/2 as a staff/lower position with them to complete my 5years experience. My question is, is it possible that they could sponsor me for EB2 after they promote me as Clinical Specialist even if my 1 year and 1/2 experience with them?
Under the current law, it is possible to use the expience gained with the same employer if the labor certain job is more than fifty percent different from the earlier positions held with the same employer. Only a competent lawyer can help you assess the chances.
