ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC LEGAL SERVICES!!!It's with heartfelt appreciation and gratitude that I want to express my Thanks to the Staff of Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, especially to Ms. Charu Bhagat, Ms. Reena Wadel and Ms. Sirisha Durgam for the patience with which they worked my very complicated case. I was basically in an out-of-status mode in the US for a long time with my past employment and it was a big question as to whether I would get my Visa transfer approved. Thanks to the ABSOLUTELY METICULOUS preparation of documents and the constant communication between INS and Rajiv S. Khanna's Office that amde it happen. The only thing that I would STRONGLY reccomend anyone that has the privilege of getting help from Rajiv S. Khanna's Office is...1. Be Patient and WORK (really, without question) with the lawyers who are handling your case.2. PROVIDE every bit of documentation asked for and be very PROMPT with it.3. Respect their effort in helping you and do not be impatient.Ms. Sirisha, Ms. Charu and Ms. Reena were three of the most friendly and helpful persons. Thank you so much!!Aravinth Kaliappan
It was a very pleasant experience working with the Law Offices. I would like to make a special reference to the person I worked with who kept me informed on each step during the process removing any anxiety - I did get prompt responses on all queries and she returned every call, that was amazing. I look forward to working with this team again when I apply for my Green Card.Thank and appreciate all your efforts.
Rajiv Khanna and the people at his office did a very good job in processing my Green card. All of the people(Leila Lehman, Shivane Sharma,and others), I used to contact were very knowledgable. It has been a nice experience! Thanks and keep up your good work!
Hi Folks, I am extremly happy to inform you that I got my Green Card process completed in a record time of one year. I am just back from India after finishing the CP Interview in Chennai successfully. Mr. Rajiv , Ms. Fidelina Baptista and all his staff Suman Bhasin, Amel Berhe, Leila Lehman, Nimia were very helpful in the entire process. Needless to mention that Mr. Rajive is very good in handling EB2 cases. They did a great job in getting my labour and I-140 approvals and also cooperated very well in my persuit through CP instead of the regular I-485. During my I-140 stage, when I called and asked Mr. Rajiv that I want to opt for CP, he immediately agreed and accepted the challenge though it was not very popular at that time. I am extremly thankful to the entire Law office of Mr. Khanna without which I would not have got my Green Card so fast. I definitely recommend the services of Mr. Khanna who are looking for a good and efficient lawyer. Good Luck to all, Chandra.

I found Mr Khanna's office as very professional and prompt.
Mr. Khanna and staff were very prompt in responding to questions. Mr. Vijay & Ms. Nimia took special care in scrutinizing the papers and always went out of their way to get my papers processed in time.
I and my wife recently received our 485 approval notices in the mail. PD: August 21st, 1998 I-485 RD: August 5, 1999 FP: November 30, 1999 I-485 approval: February 28, 2000 Mr. Rajiv Khanna and his office helped us throughtout this process and provided expert guidance and timely advice whenever we needed such. Mr. Khanna was available at very short notice to answer any question and put us at ease many times throughtout this process. He is very much informed about the latest happenings in the field and uses this and his experience to perform the best possible service. I have been thoroughly satisfied with his office and commend their professionalism and honest approach of doing things. We would like to thank Suman Bhasin, Diane Lombardo, Leila Lehman, Fidelina Batista, Nimia Aranibar and Amel Barhe for their professionalism and hard work in getting us through this process. This would not have been possible without their help and support. Finally I would like to add that for anyone looking for a hard working, accessible, knowledgeable and trustworthy immigration lawyer, Rajiv Khanna and his office are a sure thing!
I just got the I-485 approval yesterday in the mail and Rajiv informed me about it through an email. I am writing this feedback to let people know of excellent and extremely professional job done by the law offices of Rajiv S. Khanna. (all dates given below.)

Thanks to Mr. Rajiv Khanna's team for going through the long process of Green Card. I got my green card last week. Especially my thanks to Mr Mathew Chacko and Mr Vijay Durgam. They are so helpful in my case.
Your team was very helpful, right from start to finish. I am definitely going to come back to your office for future immigration needs. Thank You for all your help.
I got Mr. Khanna's Reference from a friend of mine as Immigration Lawyer. Since my first discussion,and then applying for H1-B visa for one of my employees, Mr. Khanna and his staff has been exceptional in response, knowledge, promptness and understanding. To say the least our employee got the H1-B visa and everybody is so happy, that all our future work needed for our company on immigration question will be done by M. Khanna's office.
Awesome work, we are regular clients of their law firm and each time the experience is the same: Helpful, fast and APPROVALS!
Rajiv is an expert on Immigration Laws and is straight up and abreast of rules and regulations and is strict about the law and stays strictly as defensive. Rajiv has an excellent team in Mathew and Heather. They are very knowledgeable, proactive and understanding. I highly recommend Rajiv and his team of Mathew and Heather as your case managers.
Your team is very professional, diligent and has very good attention to details. Everybody there including Vikas, Anna, and Fran were very punctual and responded to our queries promptly and guided us through every step in a professional manner. Even after getting a RFE, they came up with good solutions to resolve the issue and get the application approved. I will definitely refer your firm to my friends and colleagues.
I received our GC within 16 months for the whole process with Rajiv S. Khanna as our attorney.

Rajiv, Suman helped and encouraged me when my 140 was denied even after filing the amendment to treat it EB-3 . They were very prompt, knowledgeable and helping . I strongly recommend Mr Rajiv Khanna for any immigration related work
Rajiv Khanna's office is handling my Green Card process and in general, his entire team is very responsive and provide a good support. I received an RFE on my I140 petition, with very peculiar queries. Sheena Gill took the responsibility of compiling the response for the RFE. She did a great job in following up and compiling the evidences and gave me very good suggestions. She was prompt in responding and provided necessary information to me to take the appropriate steps. It has been great to work with her. Her dedication, effort she expends are great. Great Team.
I received approval for my I-485 adj of status for me and my family on July 21,2008. I knew about Rajiv and his team from my H1 transfer, LC and I-140. Now one more chance for me to thank Rajiv and his team for getting my GC approved. I can proudly mention that my case was in a good hand. Rajiv a kind-hearted and knowledgeable person who handles the cases very cleverly. We get good advices from him always. I also have to mention that Rajiv has a very good team in his office. They also act immediately and response quickly for all our issues and questions. I understand all his team people are good in providing a good service to clients. Especially I would like to thank Attorney Mathew Chacko, who is a very good man personally and officially while handling my case. Mathew acted very quick and responded my questions immediately without any hesitation. Every time I get upset Rajiv and Mathew only convinced and encouraged me. I really thank other team members Subha, Prerna, Bharathi also for their immediate and quick action every time. I strongly recommend every one to go through Rajiv's Office for you immigration process. He and his team not only act as an Attorney's Office but they acted as a very close family member to get GC and other process for us. I cannot forget Rajiv and his team in my life time. They lighted my future with brightness. Once again my heartfelt thanks to Rajiv and his team.
Perfect and straight guidance given by Lawyers/persons handling my case, help me achieve my Labor certification. Great Team. Professionalism is KEY here. I would recommend others to Rajiv Khanna/Vijay Durgam who handled my case.
We received our approvals. A special thanks to Leslie and Heather for supporting us through the entire process. They were very responsive, knowledgeable, and took prompt care of all our questions and inquiries right to the last few days. Mr. Khanna has a great team in Suman, Heather, and Leslie. Thank you for all your help.
Should H-1 be renewed while the AOS is pending?
Bottomline - I think H-1 should be renewed.
A little more info: A few months ago, I used to feel strongly that AOS applicants should keep their H-1 active for several reasons. Two of these are:
One, EAD issuance was erratic and CIS had discontinued issuance of interim EAD's (that is, if in 90 days your EAD is not issued, you could walk with a infopass appointment to your local CIS office and get an EAD). Thus, EAD's were unreliable and given for only a year. You could have interruptions in your work.
Rajiv, this month’s visa bulletin shows our category is current. What does this mean for people who have already applied for 485. Have AP and EAD. And now their dates are current again? Does it mean they will get a GC via mail? What if I haven’t had my FP done yet?
As of July 2008, this is how the system works.
First, let me provide a little background. Priority Date is the date your PERM is filed (in Case of EB-1 or NIW – the date your I-140 is filed; in case of Family-based petitions – the date your I-130 is filed.).
I thank Mr. Khanna, Suman Basin, Leila Lehman and Diane Lombardo for helping me through the Employment based Green Card processing. The best thing I like about the Law offices of Rajiv S. Khanna is that they are there when you need your questions answered. Efficient and very professional team.
