The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables nationals of 36 participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business (visitor [B] visa purposes only) for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. The program was established in 1986 with the objective of eliminating unnecessary barriers to travel, stimulating the tourism industry, and permitting the Department of State to focus consular resources in other areas. VWP eligible travelers may apply for a visa, if they prefer to do so.
I want to thank the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna for their excellent work with my H-4 petition. Mine was a difficult petition but the office prepared all my paper work within a week and I received my approval in 3 months. I also want to thank my case manager Ursula for her thorough work with my case.
The Law Office of Mr. Khanna is well established in the immigration field and offers excellent services. Their website is a great database regarding the immigration matters.
Special thanks to Ms. Richa Narang and Ms. Prerna Mehta who thoroughly prepared my documents and were always available for answering my questions .
I got my H1B and also GC under PERM.
The entire GC process took less than two years and went smoothly.
I am very thankful to the staff at Mr. Khanna's office, especially Mathews and Rita. From beginning to end, they were very prompt, co-operative, and very thorough in documents. We used a labor substitution and the entire process went really quick, with no big hassles.
