We got our 485 approval (07/13/02) and got that stamped in the passport from the local INS. There are no words to thank Rajiv S Khanna and his team. Diane, Leila, and Suman had helped us in each and every stage and more important thing is, they return the call in matter of hours. Very prompt and courteous in reply, and they are all highly talented. There were no unanswered questions and I would recommend Rajiv and his team to anyone. With their teams doing the process, I knew I am in safe hands. Thank you all.

My H-1B premium processing was done by the offices of Rajiv Khanna and his staff. He and his staff (Sirisha) were really helpful and I wish to thank them for the same. My overall experience: I feel he is a BRAND NAME in this business. "His name says it all"

Thanks to Rajiv and his team. My LC was filed in Nov' 99 and got approved on Nov'12th 2000. Applying for I-140. This team is very prompt, patient, energetic and knowledgeable. The team reply to every question very carefully. Rajiv even replied to some personal immigration questions when I need to change my wife's H4 status to F1 (we went to Mexico for this). Thanks to Rajiv for all his answers and suggestions. GC is a major milestone in our life, for those who want to make a career in U.S. We need patience and above all must follow the attorney's suggestions for successfully getting the GC.

I would like to thank Mr. Rajiv Khanna for guiding me through from the time I applied for HIB through and until I got my green card. My special thanks to Ms. Bharati Gajjala, my case manager who was very responsive and she handled the process of submitting all the relevant doucumets professionally. I also thank Ms. Suman, who also assisted me when I requested for information. I would strongly recommend the services of "The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna" to any one who want to apply for H-IB or for a Green Card. RAMA

Its been a long journey that started with completion of masters (F1) visa and today receiving green card (GC). I have been with Rajiv ji and his team since the beginning of my immigration journey (F1(OPT) -> H1 -> H1 Ext.-> Perm -> I140 -> I765 -> I485).
As said by everyone else here in the guestbook i also concur with all the things.
Firstly, they know what they are doing and are best at it. They have a solid knowledge about all the immigration rules, jargon, what can cause potential problem in future and how to handle the complexities a case has.
Secondly, very professional, prompt replies and free consultations. One thing that i liked is that they all are very easy to reach including Rajiv ji itself and that helps a lot in calming down the immigration anxieties of clients.
Best wishes to you and your team.

Citizenship interview schedule
We completed our interviews and oath ceremony this week. I speak from my personal experience only but I believe when you submit your N-400 applications, they try to keep track of both spouse's cases together. We filed 3 years ago and both our case statuses would change at the same time, even though I know I was the primary applicant responsible for the delay due to name and security checks.
Citizenship and Naturalization
Seattle USCIS DO Naturalization interview and Oath experience

I am really impressed and appreciated his expertise in Immigartion issue. I talked to him on the phone but feel like I am taking to him personally. He is so clear and spontaneous on any Immigration issue. Thanks lot....
