I cannot thank enough the Law Office of Rajiv S Khanna and my direct contact in this case Anna Baker for doing such a wonderful job in getting me approved for H1B classification within such a short period of time. Anna Baker has been a tremendous help with regard to the case and especially getting back to me on answering my questions at her earliest. Fee is very reasonable for the service I was provided. I would definitely recommend for any immigration issues and I myself look forward to taking care of my future immigration issues with the Law Office of Rajiv S. Khanna.
Anna Baker Great Job. I am very pleased.!!!
Very efficient, helpful and personal services. The process was made easier thanks to the professional staff. Thank You very much. I highly recommend their services.
My labor certification was done without any problem and the guidance I am getting for filing I-140,I-485 for me and my family members is excellent and I shall be grateful to Mr.Khanna and his team
There is no question that there might be a large number of good Attorneys around but Mr. Khanna and his superb team can provide what only a few can. That is honesty, excellent advise, easy accessibility to him and the rest of the team, fast work and over all results. I had experience with few attorneys and I can say without a doubt that he is the one and there is no need to look around. If you are looking for quality here it is.
I think you guys are bunch high quality legal experts on immigration. Thanks for your good works.

I give full credit to Ms. Subha at Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna for this as she so carefully prepared my application form that the State labor department had no problems with it.
It has been a great experience working with your firm towards my green card process.
My husband has an I-140 approved from Company A ( Priority Date April 2008 , EB2). He is now eligible for EB1 under Employer B ( He is currently on L1 A ). Can his priority date from EB2 be ported to EB1 ?

It has been a long and anxious path to a GC application lasting a little over ten years but I would like to thank Rajivji and especially Art and Mark who have helped by providing step by step support through the entire process, including multiple H1B renewals and EAD renewals. Thank you for being a helpful and knowledgeable team.
