I and my family received our GC stamping on June 25th,2001. I started the whole process in Oct 1998 with Rajiv Khanna as my attorney. He is a lawyer of great standing and has helped me at every point in the whole process. I must mention here that the paperwork done under his guidance has been perfect and I had no RFE's except at the last stage for an employment letter. This substantially reduces the total time of this lengthy process. I am specifically mentioning this because I have seen some of my friends stuck for years in the process because of careless paperwork. Also I had some problem regarding the evaluation of my education and Rajiv's correct strategy helped me and I could come out of the problem. I found the staff in his office in general and with a special mention of Suman Bhasin, Laila Lehman, Shivani Sharma and Diane Lombardo, very co-operative. Thanks to Rajiv and his staff.

USCIS has launched an H-1B Employer Data Hub to provide information to the public on employers petitioning for H-1B workers.
I am currently located in India and working as a Technical Architect in software MNC. I had a prior H1B valid from Feb 2008 till Dec 2014 which was sponsored by my previous company and has about 17 days left in it to complete a total of 6 years. After this I have joined a new firm, so wish to know if my current company or a new company can file for a Green Card while I am still in India. If yes , what is the way forward?

This forum has been very helpful, and motivational for me. I finally got approved after almost 3 yrs.
On April 10, USCIS used a computer-generated random selection process to select enough H-1B petitions to meet the congressionally-mandated regular cap and the U.S. advanced degree exemption for fiscal year (FY) 2020. After completing the random selection process for the regular cap, USCIS also determined that it has received a number of petitions projected as sufficient to meet the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S.

In January 2017, the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) modified how it presents processing time information. Previously, the AAO reported, by form type, the average completion time for the month’s cases. But certain scenarios (such as a month with few completions in certain categories) could result in an imprecise portrayal of processing times.
Vijay Durgham guided us with the labor certification process very professionally. Though our organization was new to the process, he showed a lot of patience and expertise in successfully completing this for us.
There have been many instances where his colleagues have assisted me in matters not quite related to this process either.
A big thanks to him and his team.
I would strongly recommend Rajiv Khanna for immigration related services.
I worked with Prerna and few others for my green card and I'm very happy with her service.
Good job by Vijay Durgam! The labor was certification was pretty quick. Just took us about 2 months to get certified. We had an extremely busy schedule when we applied for the LC and did not have enough time to go over the paper work and other stuff.
Vijay thoroughly prepared the documentation and provided us with just the right information we needed.
Thanks,
Excellent and Timely job by Aruna, Prerna & Bhrathi And Timely & Accurate advice by "The Big" Mathew. We got our anxiety put to rest in respect of our daughter's college admission with pending GC. last night we got our "card production ordered" email from CRIS. Today we are truly global residents with Indian background, New Zealand citizenship and now PR of United States. Thanks to R Khanna and his incredible staff and ofcourse my employer Multivision Inc. who have supported throughout the GC process going beyond the business.

I got excellent advice from Rajiv for my problem of wanting to go back to school after having filed for my green card. The whole team was very efficient with handling my sufficient request for H1B transfer so I can go to school while working on an H1 visa.
Great work and many thanks!
Rita and Suman ji have been very prompt and helpful with my Green Card process. I got my I 140 approved last week! The team at Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna is the best.
My wife and I received our GC within 28 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 & regulations and is strict about the law and stays strictly as defensive. He helped us at every point in the whole process. We never get any problem or incompletion about the paperwork done under his guidance, which has been perfect. Perfect paperwork reduces the total time of this lengthy process. We are greatly thankful to Diane Lombardo, who is always available and is happy to responds calmly and peacefully. Also many, many thanks to Leila, Suman, Lakshmi, Shivani 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. Many of my friends and employees of our company went through Rajiv and all of them are also happy like me. We are thankful to Rajiv and his staff.
