This is to share my experience with all of you who are anxious about various issues with immigration processes. We recently contacted Rajiv's firm for guidance in our case. I consider myself very forthright when it comes to my opinions and valuesystem.  My small step of seeking their assistance led to great strides in terms of my confidence and optimism. I mean it. I personally feel the consultation with Rajiv has tremendously helped get clarity and direction. Normally we are vary of approaching attorneys with our ignorance regarding the legal issues. Interacting with different levels of knowledge and on diffrent planes of understanding is normally not very comfortable. All such discomfort was dispelled in my very first consultation with Mr Khanna. I felt he is a professional with a sensitivity towards naive clients.  I felt he showed a very authentic and a genuine concern to understand where a person is coming from. That human touch sometimes has a huge bearing on our sense of hope and life in general. Expertise, knowledge in just hands, with a nice human being. With a competent and an understanding individual at the helm one would be in stronger starting place to pursue one's objectives. I vouch for that. His team members Suman Bhasin, Leslie, Chengappa also are competent, courteous, and prompt. I am happy to associate with them.

Co sign

Question details

Can a friend co-sign for me to bring my brother to the United States, I have green card and i don't make enough money. I just want to know if a friend can co-sign for me.

An affidavit of support can be co-sponsored by your friend. But green card holders cannot sponsor siblings for green cards, only US Citizens can.

P1 visa to green card

Question details

I have a P1 visa. Is there anyway to change this to a green card?

You may be able to apply for a green card if you meet the requirements of EB-1, aliens with extraordinary ability or based upon a job offer, and of course, if a family-based possibility exists

USCIS To Issue Redesigned Green Card

 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has redesigned the Permanent Resident Card - commonly known as the "Green Card" - to incorporate several major new security features.  The Green Card redesign is the latest advance in USCIS’s ongoing efforts to deter immigration fraud.  State-of-the-art technology incorporated into the new card prevents counterfeiting, obstructs tampering, and facilitates quick and accurate authentication.  Beginning today, USCIS will issue all Green Cards in the new, more secure format.

Re-entry permit

Question details

If you have a valid LPR and you went and stayed over 2 years in the philippines and you want to come back here. If you don't have a re-entry permit how can you get a re-entry permit?

Reentry permit can be obtained only by people who have a valid green card. Your only option (other than filing for a green card again) seems to be to ask the US Consulate for a Returning Resident Permit if you can show them a genuine reason for your absence. Note that this would be a difficult application.

I highly recommend Rajiv Khanna services, We used them for our corporate  Green card sevices,  It was a great experience working with them, they know the immigration law, and they do have ability to guide employers and employees properly. As of now Rajiv filed around 40 PERM LABOR applications for us,  and I am proud to say that all of them got approved. Couple of cases went thru audits also.  Our filrm point of contact was Heather, she did a great job for the company and also to the employees. Normally Attorney offices won't entertain to talk to company employees, but in Rajiv office, Heather is so kind to answers our employee calls and made them aware of the case updates, as an employer we felt so happy when our employees experiencing good and great service.

I'm a researcher at a university and I will probably try to apply for EB1, Outstanding Researcher. I'm currently on an H-1 (since Oct. 2007). Are there certain stages in the process in which I won't be able to travel outside the US?
