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.) Rajiv used the RIR process for my labor certification, getting the LCA in a very quick 3 months time period. I had to wait for my PD to become current to file the I-485. My dates. PD 7/97 RD 4/4/99 ND 4/22/99 FP 8/20/99 FBI processed it on 9/23/99 and approval 02/29/00 Thanks a lot to Rajiv and his associates. I am all praise for them. will gladly refer them to you anytime.

I work in the HR department at an IT consulting firm. We needed to get an employee on board to begin a project, but first needed to transfer his visa. Dan and Anna helped make the process extremely smooth, not to mention quick. It was a pleasure to work with both of them.
I started my GC process in March 2003 in EB2 RIR.Got LC and now I-140 approved(within 4 working days).Would like to sincerely thank Subha,Mathew,Tarun and Roopa for diligently working on my case.
I'm really happy that I choose Rajiv Khanna's firm for my GC.
Thanks: For expertly filing(case handled by Vijay Durgam)my LC application. Approved cleanly in 2 years.!!!! March 05 to Feb 07
My and my wife's I-485 has been approved last week (PD 07/2005) without any RFE. I'd like to express my thanks to Rajiv Khanna's office for making my PR finally come true.
I used Rajiv Khanna team services in 1998-2000 to process several H1 and GC cases for my employees in Indus Corporation, and received very good and professional services. I would recommend their services without any hesitation
Khanna's firm did a thorough, expeditious job of the recruitment and coaching my company's HR dept - specifically, Vijay Durgam who was the case worker on my file. I got approval in less than 20 days. Thanks!
I am on H-1B working in the IT industry. My wife has H4 EAD, and with the same status, she is working in the hospital as a Physical Therapist.
1. Can her employer file for GC while she is on H4 EAD status?
2. If she is eligible for NIW, could you please let me know if the PWD and PERM are both required if her employer file for GC?
3. Can she use my priority date to file an adjustment of status?
1. Absolutely
2. I doubt it.
3. No she cannot. That is one thing husband and wife cannot transfer to each other their priority date.
I am an international student currently of F-1 visa status and will be graduating in May-23. I have the below questions:
1. Can multiple companies / employers apply for H1-B on my behalf in this upcoming H1-B cap pool?
2. If yes, is there a possibility that the employers might get to know about this?
3. Should my name in the passport and birth certificate match exactly? My birth certificate has an abbreviation my last name but my passport has my complete last name.
When there is no connection between two companies, and they are not colluding to help somebody get an H-1B visa or increase their chances of getting selected in the H1B lottery, multiple companies can file. Interestingly, even different units within the same bigger company could file if they have a genuine need and not face any issues.
I am an LLM student on H4 (no EAD). My college offers paid and unpaid supervised externships (optional classes) for 2/3 credits as part of our course. Can I participate and work in an unpaid supervised externship on H4 without EAD?
Sure. I don't see any problem for you, the employer should watch out for themselves.
I wanted to say thank you Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, P.C. for helping us with EB1A based immigration. The professionalism, constant guidance, and experience in dealing with attorney Rajiv and senior paralegal Diane is just commendable. Based on our experience, Rajiv is an expert in US immigration and his fact-based insights are very helpful to make informed decision.
1. The best part is that the initial assessment is FREE of charge unlike many law firms. This will help any one to take a decision based on his initial consultation. 2. Once Attorney Rajiv ji advises to move forward, he will spend enough time along with Diane to gather, conduct in depth analysis, validates against the criteria of USCIS and provide honest advice in the interest of time and cost involved. 3. Diane has drafted the petition amazingly with minute details and corresponding evidence, honestly, we were very impressed with the detailed work.
Thank you so much for your constant guidance, professional updates to the petition and continued support through out the I-140 process.

FAQs: Volunteering on a non-profit board committee while on H-1B or H-4 visa: Implications for visa stamping and green card process
Release Date
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has published additional online resources on uscis.gov to provide an overview of some of the temporary and permanent pathways for noncitizen entrepreneurs to work in the United States. This guide also highlights some of the most important immigration-related considerations for entrepreneurs contemplating starting or managing a business in the United States.
New pages:
Can an H4 EAD holder start a business in any state, or do they have to be in the same state as the primary applicant's H-1B?
Another question is can a relative's LLC file for H-1B if they have a need and it aligns with my MS coursework?
It can be done, but H-1B is not complicated that's absolutely straightforward.
My daughter was born in Canada and is on my H-1 visa as an H-4 dependent. She is currently studying 2nd year of her Bachelor's degree and will turn 21 in July/2024. I have a couple of questions, and they are
1. By what date/age she needs to change her status from H-4 to F-1?
2. Once on F-1 status, are there a minimum number of months/semesters/years she has to complete before being eligible for a CPT or OPT?
