AC21 AOS Portability

AC21 is the name given to a law that provides for several matters including the ability to change jobs while an employment-based green card is pending (I-485 AC21 portability) and to start working for an H-1B employer as soon as transfer petition is filed with the USCIS.

AOS Denial – Consequences for H-1

Qo. If an AOS (adjustment of status or I-485) applicant has already used up six years on H1 and is currently in 8th year of H1, what are his/her options if AOS gets denied before the 8th year on H1 expires?
Ans. A lot depends upon the grounds of denial and whether they are likely to be overturned on a Motion to Reopen/Reconsider. Do note, there is no appeal against a 485 denial.

It has been a great morale boost and also professional confidence when I contacted Rajiv khanna's office for providing the professional support for AC21 case.

The documentation and support from Mathew Chako was really good and it was clear and precise to the point.

Also at the time of interview, Rajiv provided good support without any additional economic consideration. It was really nice to have a person next to you at that time of interview process.

Really I am hats off for Rajiv Khanna's team......

I have had several years of experience dealing with incompetent and certainly less informed immigration lawyers than myself. Changing to Mr. Khanna's office was probably one of most sensible things I've done. He and his staff are well informed, knowledgeable, respond very promptly to questions and provided me with a level of service that I would expect from an expert in the field of immigration law.
