I will begin with a sincere thanks for all the information I have got from these forums over the last few months and the amount of confidence I have gained through it.
Now, its my turn give back something by sharing my experience and hope this helps in giving some information to the others like me.
My visa was scheduled for 08:15 AM I reached the car parking in the nearby Malcha Marg parking by 7:45 AM. It is few minutes walk from there. I reached embassy by 7:55 or so. I was with my wife who would get an H4.

I just got my H1B approved. Really thankful to Jagbir and Khanna. They have responded to my RFE. They are easy to reach always and their response was really quick. Would definitely work with them for future immigration issues.
H-1 Transfer
Question details
I have an H-1B Approval Notice that is valid until next year.I have been working with my present employer for two years, but have found a position with a different company. Can my H-1B approval be transferred to this new company?
It is possible to apply for an H-1 transfer with USCIS, provided the H-1 holder is maintaining legal status and fulfills all the requirements.

Mr. Khanna and his team were extremely responsive and professional. Mr. Khanna himself took the time to address all of my questions and concerns and gave excellent advice.

I'm still very amazed and appreciative of how Mr. Khanna approached my case. My case is a very unique and uncommon H-1B transfer. I have approached a few different lawyers but none of them really know the answer. Mr. Khanna was kind enough to spend his valuable time to consult me at no charge because he himself is curious about my case. I could tell he loves what he is doing and constantly keeps up with the latest of what is happening in the immigration laws. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Khanna to anyone seeking legal consultation.
H-1B Amendment
Question details
My work location had changed and my employer had filed an H-1B amendment. Now I am moving back to the original location, which was filed in the first H-1B petition. Is there anything that needs to be done?
All H-1Bs are employment, employer and location specific. Therefore, it is necessary that an H-1B amendment be filed with USCIS if there is any change of location.
H-1 to H-4
Question details
My spouse and I work for the same IT company. My spouse who is on H-1B visa is already in the US and my H-1B is under process, hoping to get it stamped latest by October 13th. I plan to quit my current job after stamping is over(may be in Oct13) and join my spouse on dependent visa (H-4).
1) When I apply for H-4, will my H-1B be valid or my company will cancel my H-1B?
2) Assuming H-1B still remains valid after my H-4, can I apply for change of status to H-1 later and search for jobs while on H-4?
3) How long does it take for change of status from H-4 to H-1?
1. H-1 cancellation (revocation) is not automatic, but the company would have to be extremely ill-informed not to revoke the H-1. They must.
2. You can revert back to H-1 from H-4. You will not be subject to quota.
3. The same time as a new H-1. Apply premium if in a hurry.
Great team at Attorney Khanna's office. Excellent work done by Gene Oxford and Anna Baker for my employee's H1.
