Mr. Khanna is very knowledgeable. They are very prompt in replying to all the queries both from the clients and the USCIS. Mr. Khanna and his team knows how to put the application together and, if necessary, how to answer the queries and RFE's from USCIS. I am very satisfied and would recommend them for anyone's immigration/non-immigration related applications to USCIS. They are a fine group of immigration lawyers.
Mr Khanna's amazing knowledge in immigration law helped my wife to get her H4 visa.
My PERM EB2 petition got approved on May 3rd. The amount of attention given to each little detail in the process and their professionalism had given me the confidence that the labor petition would go thru without any snag.
My sincere thanks to Mr. Rajiv Khanna, and especially to Ms. Reecha Nareng and Ms. Mohana Navran. I appreciate your help and hard work you have put in on my application. You were always prompt and responsive and very helpful.
Thanks

I would like to thank Amrita, Seema for the effort they put in to get my labor approved in 5 working days. Great work!!!
I worked with Ms.Richa and Ms.Mohana. Mr. Rajiv is my attorney.
They have done an incredible job of completing my PERM in time which once I thought would be nearly impossible. We started our process very late in my 5th year.
I am highly impressed with their patience and prompt replies. I highly appreciate them. I found both of them easy to work with. They went thru the documents over and over, and prepared very convincing case.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE.
Thanks

Dear Rajiv,
I wanted to share this information with you. I have received my e-mail
today that my EB1-EA has been approved at TSC on 27th April 2006, we have
submitted to CSC on 8th March 2006, and was transferred to TSC on 21st March
2006. So it is just a month that we got the approvel. I would like to thank
you and Diane Lombardo (my case manager) for your excellent work.
Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.
I got my PERM labor certified in 8 working days. Excellent job Richa and Mohana. Thank you SO MUCH for all your prompt responses and very high availability whenever I have a question throughout my PERM application process.
What a fantastic service for the money we spent. Your firm should be proud to have you as employees.
I am a US citizen and would like to sponsor green card for my parents once they arrive here. I have couple of questions related to that. 1) My mother’s birth certificate contains name before marriage, is this going to be an issue? Her passport contains her name after marriage. Her mother and father expired long time back, and she is the eldest daughter. 2) My parents does not have marriage certificate with them what are the options. They cannot go their original place to get the marriage certificate 3) My father does not have birth certificate but has College degree/certificates mentioning his date of birth. Will this suffice the requirement, if not what are the options he has? Again he is not in a position to go to his birth place nor is he in position to take help from his elders to give affidavit for him. His mother and father passed away long time back.
See clip from Attorney Rajiv S. Khanna's conference call video that addresses this question.

Q1. Among the documents needed for filing H-4, what are the ones we really need to make sure, we have them. I mean few like Date of Birth Certificate from Indian Municipal/Registration office..... is that needed even for H-4 EAD. What if the name on the Birth Certificate from Registration office is different from name on Passport? What should be done here? Any other documents etc. we need to be careful about and should be working to get ready now. (Education certificates and marriage certificate etc. we already have)
Q2. Would it again be first come -first served in terms of filing H-4 EAD? I mean people who file on May 26-27 --would their applications be processed earlier than the ones who file little later.
Q3. Approximately how much time it’s expected for EAD to arrive, everything going well
Q4. One last question, if I happen to change my employer at this time, and if my GC process is re-initiated would my wife be still eligible for filing H-4 EAD or NOT ( in a situation if old employer revokes I-140 )
A1. So far it appears to me and again we don’t have the details yet. The very least you will need is proof of marriage and birth certificate. I don’t think that is the normal requirement but I believe proof of relationship should be acquired and kept. Then the question what if the names on the birth certificate and passport are different.... we still don’t know lot about these issues. I would say an affidavit explaining the discrepancy and probably making efforts to remove the discrepancy whether you want to have the passport issued under the correct name or whether you want to have a Indian court give a declaratory judgment of some kind that the name X and Y are the same person. Something like that would be a good idea. But it is not going to stop you H-4 EAD application at least in my mind. I think even education certificates are irrelevant because the H-4 EAD is not given based upon what degrees you have, it is given based upon your relationship with the H-1 holder who is at a certain level of maturity in the green card process. I am not worried about the laminated original document. That doesn’t bother me.
A2. First of all USCIS just roughly follows the first in, first out rule. They are not always bound by that rule because there are so many variations within the processing times if it is given to a particular officer, which depends on what is their case load is and what if they have to take a couple of days off. It’s not always predictable that you will always be first in and first out.
A3. Under the regulations USCIS should adjudicate EADs within 90 days. But in case you don’t know they are finding it very difficult to keep to that time. I will be surprised if they are able to keep to the 90 days process, but if it is merely administrative process and there is not a whole lot of investigation involved then I don’t see why not but I really don’t know.
A4. The government has said as long as you have one I-140 that remains unrevoked they will give us the H-4 EAD. But if the I-140 is revoked then H-4 EAD will not be given.
My sincere thanks to Rajiv Khanna and Amrita for their efforts in getting my PERM approved in a remarkable time frame.
My case was a bit complicated. Initially my PERM application got rejected three times over a four week period. The DOL was being quite vague about the reason stating that the alien does not qualify for the job.
However Mr. Khanna's expertise in this matter and dedication of Amrita got my application through, in the fourth attempt,
in a matter of three business days.
Mr.Khanna is very patient and helpful when it comes to dealing with employers. He spoke with my employer several times throughout the process, answered all the
queries that my employer had and helped him understand the perm process.
I really feel that Amrita put her heart in to my case. Amrita was extremely good about acting promptly on the rejection letters
from DOL. My Advertisements were expiring in 3 days from the day the fourth attempt was made. If she hadn't acted quickly i
probably wouldn't have had a chance.
I personally feel that Mr. Khanna's Law office pays close attention to details. They
are also very good about responding promptly to emails, phone calls and clarifying the smallest doubt you may have.
I strongly recommend their services.
