Dear Mr. Khanna: My labor case is certified!!! I am so excited! I would like to thank you and all your fantastic crew for the great job you do. I greatly appreciate all your help and support. Thank you very much and have a great evening!
Dear Rajiv, Leila and All, Let me thank you all for such and excellent work done by all of you for my permanent residence application. I am so happy to thank you again and again for wonderful task. With God's grace, I got my permanent residence application approved by consulate general of America at Bombay, India on 27th Feb, 2001. I am really very impressed by good work of your esteemed office. Whole process took place within 14 mos of time. Thanks to great work of you and especially Laila, Richa, Suman and Vijay. I am very much convinced now that any Immigration related work in future, I will be not going anywhere but at Rajiv's Khanna' office. Thank you very much Rajiv. With all respect, Sincerely, Vipul Amin.
Hello everyone, I am glad that Rajeev and his colleagues (Charu + Rena) are our Immigration attorneys. Why?? (a) Well, we are a startup and definitely in need of expert advise as to whether we can or cannot apply for H1s to the INS. (b) Also, our needs are not just for Software Engineers, but for other skills that require justification to the INS that these are speciality occupations. (c) We have recd excellent service from his team and esp from Charu and Rena. They have always given a small company like us very quick response and turnaround for complex h1 cases. (d) We wish to adhere to the laws of INS and DOL and need expert advise in interpreting these ever changing laws. (e) The website is very useful and our prospective employees like it that our Immigrant Attorney owns and operates "www.immigration.com" . I look forward to using more of their services like GC Processing for our employees, L1s etc.. Thanks Rajeev SIRAJ CEO Kirloskar Multimedia
Rajiv and his associates processed my Green Card application under NIW category. I got my GC very smoothly. Excellent Service. He is very selective to take the case and doesn't accept it so long he is not fully convinced about the merit of the case. Moreover, he favored me by providing some legal information not related to immigration law. I am very satisfied.
Ever wondered to find an immigration attorney who not only takes interest in working with you saving your time but also knows the current immigration landscape. This is exactly how I feel about working with Rajiv and Diane they are masters in what they do they’re sincere well-versed with the current immigration landscape in the US. I could not thank them enough for the thorough analysis and guidance Through the EB1 one green card process. Also big kudos to Marty for all the work you do!! This is actually a dream team. God bless.

I'm working in an organization since December 2009. When my green card was filed in January 2016 my job title was "Senior Engineer", and the roles and responsibilities included following -
<br>
· Generally someone with industry knowledge and/or software knowledge
<br>
· SME in multiple areas
· Able to assist in even more areas
· Able to work without management intervention
<br>
My I-140 is approved, and Priority Date is January 2016. I'm due for promotion to the job title "Consultant", and the roles and responsibilities would be following -
<br>
· SME in a lot of areas
· Able to work in any area
· Able to talk accurately about the whole product whenever and wherever regardless of audience
· “Manager” on the floor, a mentor to “all” that need help, trusted adviser
· The one that the Engineer level people go to and want to be
<br>
My Manager and HR mentioned that they will have to file amendment for change in roles and responsibilities that matches with new title. They are concerned about filing amendment, and they mentioned that they are seeing less than 50/50 success rate and there is high risk involved in changing title as my green card might get declined.
<br>
I'm very surprised that changing only couple of responsibilities can jeopardize my green card processing, and I'm also finding it unbelievable that I can't get any promotion within same organization till my GC is approved, which could be another 10-15 years.
<br>
I thought since green card is filed for the future position, so there should not be much risk involved in filing amendment. I've seen many of my friends and family getting promotions within same organization after their green card process started. Since I'll be working in same organization and same team, and there is no drastic change in roles and responsibilities, so do we still have to file amendment? Can the amendment be filed later with I-485, or is it better to go back to old job without filing amendment?

Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv on the article:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is updating the USCIS Policy Manual to clarify the effect of travel outside the United States by Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiaries who are subject to removal proceedings.
I would like to thank Khanna's Law office in every stage. Now he helped to cross the first stage. My Federal Labor certified. Even though we are client's to Rajiv, He treats clients as friend and some one very close to him by giving personal care and attention. Also his personnel's are also doing good job particularly Subha(Case Manager). I felt that my case has been taken with close personal care by Subha. You will feel, if you are dealing the case through Subha. I appreciate Subha's immediate response and perfect guidance, by treating us like a family member. I have no words to thank her. Also the follow up by Rajiv's office is excellent. I would like to thank Suman(Supervisor),Bindhiya and Mathew Chacko also in this time. Once again my heartful thanks to Rajiv for bringing my case to this level. I am also least bothered about my next stage, as I have good group of people like Rajiv and Subha with me. I strongly recommend every one to process through Rajiv's Office to get success.
I wish a very Happy and Prosperous New Year for Rajiv and his Team.

There is not just 6 letter word 'THANKS' enough to describe this office and its experienced and friendly team. I have emailed Mr.Khanna about my case and Immediately I received the call from him the next day morning. He gave me the hope that this case can be resolved.
My special thanks to Jitesh Malik, the Attorney who prepared the legal arguments required for this case. He was very patient to listen to my case and always never let me loose the hope. He has been so responsive in preparing the case. Also thanks to Anna Baker who never got irritated by my phone calls. And of course Joy Sheppard who put all effort in putting all the papers in right order. On top of all this, my sincere thanks to Mr. Khanna, without whom i would not be able to write this appreciation note.
Thank you so much and thanks to all those whom i forgot to mention. You people are the best !!!
I got my medicals done in Chennai in early November, thought I would post my experience while it is still fresh in my memory.Note that I am not a Chennai resident - I reached Chennai at 6AM on the test day, and had booked my return the same night. I wanted to finish both the lab and the checkup the same day.

Got my I-485 approval on March/26/2001, less than 2 yrs from when the labor certification application was sent in. I would highly recommend Rajiv Khanna to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. Rajiv and his colleagues were all very efficient and prompt in preparing and filing the documents. Whenever I had any questions, they always replied promptly and explained everything clearly. Thanks a lot to all of them!
