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.
Thanks to Mr. Rajiv Khanna's team for going through the long process of Green Card. I got my green card last week. Especially my thanks to Mr Mathew Chacko and Mr Vijay Durgam. They are so helpful in my case.
Your team was very helpful, right from start to finish. I am definitely going to come back to your office for future immigration needs. Thank You for all your help.
I got Mr. Khanna's Reference from a friend of mine as Immigration Lawyer. Since my first discussion,and then applying for H1-B visa for one of my employees, Mr. Khanna and his staff has been exceptional in response, knowledge, promptness and understanding. To say the least our employee got the H1-B visa and everybody is so happy, that all our future work needed for our company on immigration question will be done by M. Khanna's office.
Awesome work, we are regular clients of their law firm and each time the experience is the same: Helpful, fast and APPROVALS!
Rajiv is an expert on Immigration Laws and is straight up and abreast of rules and regulations and is strict about the law and stays strictly as defensive. Rajiv has an excellent team in Mathew and Heather. They are very knowledgeable, proactive and understanding. I highly recommend Rajiv and his team of Mathew and Heather as your case managers.
Your team is very professional, diligent and has very good attention to details. Everybody there including Vikas, Anna, and Fran were very punctual and responded to our queries promptly and guided us through every step in a professional manner. Even after getting a RFE, they came up with good solutions to resolve the issue and get the application approved. I will definitely refer your firm to my friends and colleagues.
I received our GC within 16 months for the whole process with Rajiv S. Khanna as our attorney. Rajiv is an expert on immigration laws and is straight up and abreast of rules and regulations and is strict about the law and stays strictly as defensive.

Perfect paperwork reduces the total time of this lengthy process. We are greatly thankful to Mathew, who is always available and is happy to respond calmly and peacefully. Also many, many thanks to Heather, Judi and other staff members who are very co-operative and would return calls & e-mails promptly. In short Rajiv and his staff made the whole process very easy, simple and painless. We are really glad that we chose this law firm. We are greatly pleased with Rajiv and his staff as far as their professionalism, courtesy and promptness regarding my GC. I will recommend to all of my friends and everybody I know to go through Rajiv S. Khanna’s Law Firm. We are thankful to Rajiv and his staff.
Rajiv, Suman helped and encouraged me when my 140 was denied even after filing the amendment to treat it EB-3 . They were very prompt, knowledgeable and helping . I strongly recommend Mr Rajiv Khanna for any immigration related work
Rajiv Khanna's office is handling my Green Card process and in general, his entire team is very responsive and provide a good support. I received an RFE on my I140 petition, with very peculiar queries. Sheena Gill took the responsibility of compiling the response for the RFE. She did a great job in following up and compiling the evidences and gave me very good suggestions. She was prompt in responding and provided necessary information to me to take the appropriate steps. It has been great to work with her. Her dedication, effort she expends are great. Great Team.
I received approval for my I-485 adj of status for me and my family on July 21,2008. I knew about Rajiv and his team from my H1 transfer, LC and I-140. Now one more chance for me to thank Rajiv and his team for getting my GC approved. I can proudly mention that my case was in a good hand. Rajiv a kind-hearted and knowledgeable person who handles the cases very cleverly. We get good advices from him always. I also have to mention that Rajiv has a very good team in his office. They also act immediately and response quickly for all our issues and questions. I understand all his team people are good in providing a good service to clients. Especially I would like to thank Attorney Mathew Chacko, who is a very good man personally and officially while handling my case. Mathew acted very quick and responded my questions immediately without any hesitation. Every time I get upset Rajiv and Mathew only convinced and encouraged me. I really thank other team members Subha, Prerna, Bharathi also for their immediate and quick action every time. I strongly recommend every one to go through Rajiv's Office for you immigration process. He and his team not only act as an Attorney's Office but they acted as a very close family member to get GC and other process for us. I cannot forget Rajiv and his team in my life time. They lighted my future with brightness. Once again my heartfelt thanks to Rajiv and his team.
Perfect and straight guidance given by Lawyers/persons handling my case, help me achieve my Labor certification. Great Team. Professionalism is KEY here. I would recommend others to Rajiv Khanna/Vijay Durgam who handled my case.
We received our approvals. A special thanks to Leslie and Heather for supporting us through the entire process. They were very responsive, knowledgeable, and took prompt care of all our questions and inquiries right to the last few days. Mr. Khanna has a great team in Suman, Heather, and Leslie. Thank you for all your help.
I had wonderful experience working with Rajiv and his team. Vikas Varma was very professional and prompt in responding and providing necessary information to me to take the appropriate steps. Rajiv's whole team is very professional and I would recommend to all my friends.
We have a great experience working with Rajiv and his team. Vikas Varma was very professional and thorough. They prepared the RFE response of a very completed case so great that we got the approval of a very tough case. Its really worth the money they charge. We would like to continue using the services of LORK in the future.
I've been working with LORK the last 5 years, and it has always been a pleasure working with them. They've dealt some tough cases for us, and I have immense confidence, when they are handling our cases. Recently, we had our L1 petition approved, and we are very impressed with extent of details covered. It was a pleasure working with Vikas Varma, and LORK's attitude of making sure the employer's reputation is not at stake at the USCIS.
Me and my employer worked with Mr. Khanna's firm for GC process. It took almost 4 years for us to get GC. Solving complex case with care and experience is what we got. Thanks a million to Mr. Khanna, Mathew and all case managers who helped in every way possible. If any of you need to get GC done, please contact Mr. Khanna without any 2nd thought.
He is just the best attorney you can ever work with for all of your immigration needs. God bless him and the entire team.
Should H-1 be renewed while the AOS is pending?
Bottomline - I think H-1 should be renewed.
A little more info: A few months ago, I used to feel strongly that AOS applicants should keep their H-1 active for several reasons. Two of these are:
One, EAD issuance was erratic and CIS had discontinued issuance of interim EAD's (that is, if in 90 days your EAD is not issued, you could walk with a infopass appointment to your local CIS office and get an EAD). Thus, EAD's were unreliable and given for only a year. You could have interruptions in your work.
Rajiv, this month’s visa bulletin shows our category is current. What does this mean for people who have already applied for 485. Have AP and EAD. And now their dates are current again? Does it mean they will get a GC via mail? What if I haven’t had my FP done yet?
As of July 2008, this is how the system works.
First, let me provide a little background. Priority Date is the date your PERM is filed (in Case of EB-1 or NIW – the date your I-140 is filed; in case of Family-based petitions – the date your I-130 is filed.).

Q. I am a student graduating in December with my Masters degree. I have an offer from an university. I understand that universities apply for exempt-H1B. I also understand that exempt H1B's cannot be transferred to non-exempt H1B's.
Will I be able to work in the period from April to October 1st with the private company, when my non-exempt H1B is still in process? Will accepting this offer be a problem if i want to move to a private firm later?
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!
