Great Firm, excellent service. Ursula E., was very dilligent, sincere, provided excellent customer service. The firm is fortunate to have paralegals of such great calibre.
I went to Arlington office on Wednesday, October 27th early in the morning around 7am. There were maybe 30 people already waiting in front of the building before me. Normally office opens at 7.30 if I am not mistaken. I was waiting not more than 15 minutes when immigration officer showed up and started asking people if there was anyone having an appointment. He came to me and asked the same question. I said I did not have any appointment and that I came for interim EAD. He told me that everyone has to have an appointment in order get an interim EAD.
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!
The services provided by Mr. Rajiv & Ms. Suman were outstanding and the timely help during emergencies were really professional and courteous.
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.
Green card experience : I would like to thank Mr Rajiv Khanna, Fidelina and their staff for all the help they provided through my Green card process. I am glad I selected them as my lawyers and would recommend others too if they want a hasle free green card processing. My Labour was done in Feb 98 and it came in under 6 months. We tried for EB2 I140 but since I did not have masters, we got an RFE. We selected EB3 as an option then but due to some confusion at the VSC side, my I140 was denied, they thought we are asking for EB2 again. My date had luckily become current at that time. Due to the quick response from Fedilina, my 140 was approved in about a week or so. That was something really extraordinary and I am glad Fidelina was handling my case. We are able to file 485 at that time, Aug 99. Got the EAD in about 3 months. But unfortunately, the dates went back. At that time, my wife’s 140 got approved in EB2 and through another lawyer. Her date was current. We were in a dilemma whether to file another 485 while earlier 485 was still pending, do CP or just wait. We finally decided to go for CP. We had our interview on 25 October at Delhi and had to wait for 2 weeks at delhi because of Name check problem. Fidelina had been nice to answer my queries every now and then through the whole process. The CP process was very smooth without any problems. If anybody has any specific question, please write to me at KHERAA@YAHOO.COM and I will be really glad to answer.
Rajiv's staff is well informed, prompt and very friendly. I had no problem during all the phases of processing. I received prompt response to my emails and Rajiv or his staff members were easily available to answer any questions. Further he has a real good system to organize and store documents; because of which I never had to refer to any of my old documents over the course of my 3.5 years of Green card processing. Further his consultation fees are reasonable. I would recommend his services.
I applied EAD & 485 concurrently. I got EAD and 485 approval within 3 months. I sincerely thank to the team who prepared the documents and who worked to get it done. The response time to any email/voice mail was extremely good. You are very good in explaining things and clarifying any doubts. I sincerely thank you all who worked for me.
Thanks
Dear Prerna,
Kudos and Congratulations to Rajiv Khanna and his team. Another I-485 approved.
Thinking back, I first reached your office on 31 Mar, 2001 to start my GC process. The team worked meticulously and by the end of the day, mission to
post the application in USPS office was accomplished.
Special thanks to Suman, who when contacted by a team member, refused to allow my application to leave Khanna’s office till it was meticulously correct in all details.
Special thanks to Charu, who accompanied me from Post Office to Post Office late in the evening and finally found one, which will accept the Envelope
containing the application.
Special thanks to Chacko and Shivani who kept me informed of the development when they were handling the case.
And of course, Special thanks to Prerna who so painstakingly, prepared the I-485 (and Travel Document, year after year) and was always so happy to inform me about the developments in the case.
And finally, please convey my thanks to Mr. Khanna, who is so carefully conducting Backlog Reduction Case, which I read with serious interest.
And special thanks to those whom I forgot to mention.
Thanks all. Keep up the good show.

I and my family would like to convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr. Khanna and his staff for helping us to get through the approval of 485 within 10 months of filing of 140/485 concurrently.
I want to personally thank Mr Khanna and his staff especially Amrita, Prerna,Leila, Diane, Suman, Vijay ... and the list goes whomever I interacted during the process.
I highly recommend this team.
Good Luck for all you. Thanks
Mr.Khanna and his efficient team has smartly answered my complex H1 RFE to get it approved in 2 weeks. I can't thank them enough. I recommend all companies no matter what the size of the company is.
My first contact with The Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna was in 2001 and since then, between me and my wife, we have done 5 H1s and our PR petition.
All I can say is they are an amazing bunch of people and both of us trust them and follow their advice on immigration matters blindly. They are that good.
Many thanks to Rajiv, Charu, Anna, Suman, Vijay and Rena any many others who have helped us.
Thanks again and many regards.

Just want to post my success story to help all those silent sufferers who are looking for guidance on Vacation recapture.

Hi Folks
With reference to my earlier post, I was really desperate to get replies regarding my query for first time Stamping at Chennai embassy, for first time stamping for H-1 B from J1 Visa.
Now, atlast I got my visa stamped and here are more details to folks who are sailing in same boat.
Hello Folks;
I successfully got my H1 (& H4 stamp) in Ottawa on March 8.
This was my third H1 stamp (second for the same employer)
It went very smooth...hardly 5 min interview...
Things seem to have improved a bit. Applied for EAD (J2 Visa holder) online on September 2. When I checked the status of the case, I got the message that my EAD had been approved on November 8. Sounds great, but lets wait until the card has arrived.
By the way, if you want to apply for an interim EAD after expiry of the 90 day period, you no longer have to stand in line all night long but can make an appointment on the USCI site (http://usci.gov) at the INFOPASS section. Good luck to everybody.
My Wife and I received our GC approvals within 34 months for the whole process with the grate Rajiv Khanna team. The team so responsive and dedicated in their work. Especially I have to Thank you Rajiv Khanna for his fighting efforts to stream line the Green Processing to all the immigration community. He is a great man!. We are really glad that we chose this Law firm.We are thankful to Rajiv and his staff.
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.
