Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv in the article:
"F-1 and H-1B visa holders turned to the CIS Ombudsman when they hit bureaucratic roadblocks within US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that threatened their legal status," said Rajiv S Khanna, an Arlington-based immigration attorney.
Resolving immigration issues:
Khanna gave the example of a Bengaluru engineer whose H-1B extension was pending since 11 months.
Despite following procedure and raising several service requests, the case didn't budge till the Ombudsman stepped in.
"After the Ombudsman's intervention, approval came within two weeks," Khanna added.
He also recounted how a student's Optional Practical Training (OPT) request was wrongly denied due to misinterpreted documents, but fixed by the Ombudsman.
