I was greatly pleased with the level of professionalism, courtesy and promptness of Rajiv Khanna and his staff with regard to the dealings of my green card case. Rajiv Khanna's advise was invaluable in my case and I was able to obtain my GC in 14 months through CP at chennai. His staff made the whole experience very easy, simple and painless. I would greatly recommend him and have done so to several of my friends. Please feel free to contact me if any questions. Regards Tg

Rajiv is certainly an expert on Immigration Laws and will give you your options, straight up. He has retained staff who are professional, helpful and supportive. Many, many thanks to Diane Lombardo, who was always available and also to Leila and Suman, who would return calls and e-mails in a timely manner. This is a Law Office which allows you to maintain sanity through the tedious and complex INS process, and one which I highly recommend.

I appreciate the work you all done for getting through the H1 and H4 intime. Thank you very much for Rajiv, Charu and Ursula
Ph.D. M.Sc. in Endocrinology/Zoology
We won this case following a response to a Request for Evidence. Service requested further clarification on the "permanency" of the job offer, which was with a University. We submitted the HR policies/procedures documentation to show that the position was permanent and met the Service requirements. Letters from the HR as well as the Department were submitted to show that the position would continue and that funding was available to support this position.

I have received excellent service from attorney Mr. Rajiv S. Khanna and his entire talented team. I got an audit request on my case after two weeks of PERM filing at DOL. Mr. Khanna and his dedicated team, attorney Sheena, Amrita and Kim everyone worked relentlessly in response to the audit request. Finally my Permanent Labor got certified within one week of their response. I would like to thank attorney Mr. Khanna, attorney Sheena, Kimberly Phill and Amrita for their generous support on the success of my case. I will definitely recommend everyone to consult attorney Mr. Khanna and his well-experienced team for any immigration matter.

I recently received a GC for me and my wife filed in the employment based EB2 category. The office of Rajiv S Khanna was extremely professional and responsive and the process went really smooth. Prerna Mehta was the contact person and she was always available to answer queries and doubts. Received a RFE at the I-485 stage which was handled in a timely manner with all relevent documents by the law firm. I highly recommend this law firm for all kinds of Employment visa, Permanent Residence cases.

B-2 visa
Question details
I'm a non-married Iranian citizen who’s my first-degree family members are US citizens, currently residing in USA. During last several years I've been rejected every time I requested for a US visa (both F and J).
Now, I am qualified to become a Canadian PR through the skilled-worker program. The visa is issued and I will be soon landing in Canada. I was wondering if my chances for getting a B-2 visa to visit my family will be any better once I'm a registered Canadian resident. Is it wise to ask for a visa once I get my PR card?
I think if you wait till you have a steady job and roots in Canada, and then apply to visit USA, you should have a better chance.
H-1 extension beyond 6 years
Question details
My situation. I work for company A
1. My 6th yr H1-B ends in Dec 2011
2. Labor approved (PD May 2010) and I-140 (applied Sep 2010) pending - EB3
3. Once my I-140 gets approved (hopefully) my lawyer's plan to apply for a 3 yrs extension some time next year (Till Dec 2014).
After/If I do get my extension for 3yrs with my company A, then Can I change my job to company B in 2012(who is willing to do my labor and I-140 again).
An extended H-1 can be transferred, but obtain the extension before the former employer revokes the I-140. I see no issues (generally speaking) with a PD transfer, unless USCIS (not the employer) revokes the I-140. Ask your lawyers for details.

I contacted Law firm of Rajiv Khanna with the highest recommendation from my friends and I must say I have not been disappointed. They helped my file my H1B. My employer had never done this before and had a lot for doubts during the whole filing process. The staff here was extremely helpful and patient. I felt really safe here. I will be happy to recommend them to anybody.

H1-B Visa Transfer
Question details
I worked in US till August 2010 through my H1-B visa in some company. I had to come to India due to some problems. Now I am in India. My question is, can my visa be transferred when I am in India by some other US company so that I can again go back and work in US. My H1-B visa expires on 2013.
The H-1 can be "transferred" - yes.
K-3 Visa
Question details
How long is it taking for K-3 visa to get approved? If we moved the wedding to Jan 31st, is there a chance to get K-3 approved by July 31st? My sister's fiance is in India. She lives in Philadelphia (Vermont service center). I also hear K-3 is getting closed automatically because I-130 is approved. Is this true?
Once the I-130 is approved and consulate is notified of the approval, they will not issue a K-3. They expect us to wait for the green card approval.

My ETA form 9089 (PERM) has been certified in the record time of just 5(!) business days after it was filed by your office. Special credit goes to my case manager Ms. Richa Narang and also to Mr. Rajiv Khanna for their restless dedication, diligence, and hard work. You guys have shined by meticulously closing any possible gap there could have been in executing the filing documents. Your advise has been prompt and refreshing. it was always in plain English and right on point on the law without overcomplicating things. Your patience is unmatched. This overall impression echoes the experience I have made when we filed the h-1b for my wife who received her visa in less than a month after filing. I look forward to tackling the next stage (I-140) knowing that things will almost run on auto-pilot. Best wishes to your entire team for 2011. Thanks, Chris Alberti

USCIS Publishes Memo On Approval Of Petitions And Applications After Death Of Qualifying Relative

Please check the attachment for details.
After a bad experience with a prominent NY law firm dealing with immigration, I came to this site. I was initially skeptical because the firm was not based in the city I work and live in but the promptness of getting the paperwork done, the willingness to answer doubts whenever they arose and reassuring me about my status when I had to leave the country on a sudden emergency back in India- all of these point to an organization and its people who clearly are the benchmark I would use for any professional service rendered in the future. Great job! Thanks.
