I have used this firm for a number of years for H-1B visas. They are extremely professional and organized. And most recently I had an employee require H-1B status quickly due to a student visa heading toward expiration. We did the premium process through this group and the approval came back in much less than the 15 day turnaround time. That in itself should tell you everything you need to know. If you don't hire this group, you are doing yourself a disservice.
Through this I wish to record my appreciation for the services provided to me by the Law firm of Rajiv. I would like to thank Rajiv and his team member Charu for excellent work and prompt response to all my queries and getting my H1B1 approved.
Thanks and regards to Rajiv S. Khanna and his co-workers for the advice and professional work to get our Green Card. We started in Sep'99 and the approval came in Oct'01. It was RIR under EB2.

Reconsideration Request to the CO | April 2021 |
I am on Initial OPT which expires on November 30, 2021. A company filed H1-B lottery for me this year (2021) which got picked and approved but I was laid off in May and immediately the company filed H1-B withdrawal and sent to USCIS on June 1st, 2021.
1) I have joined a big MNC company few days back who’s willing to sponsor me. I have approval and LCA Notice. What are my options now to get H1-B back?
2) If I can’t do anything with My H1-B. What’s the time frame generally it takes to withdraw my H1-Status? My Status still shows H1-B approved in the portal.
The usual consensus of opinion is that in such cases you have lost your quota so you are back in the quota. You have to go through the lottery again next year when you apply. More...

Attorney Rajiv Khanna and his team are one of the best immigration attorneys out there, they thoroughly understood my case scenario and also the hiccups that might come in future and filed my case accordingly and got approval without RFE. They know the best about what they are doing and also very prompt in responding to all requests and questions. Pavithra was very helpful throughout the documentation process she patiently verified all the documentation through every step of the process.
Can I do a second job using GC EAD which I recently got and continue working for sponsored employer on H1B (unexpired I-797) for not more than 6 months? i am being told that this actually would void H1B status. I'm fine with it (moving to AOS status) as long as i do that secondary job until I-797 with current employer expires. But will it cause any issues with AOS whenever priority date becomes current ?
As long as you have the intention to remain there indefinitely what you do on the side whether you start your own business and do another job I don't think it's relevant. The key here is to have an intention to continue working with the primary employer. More...

How much unemployment gap is permitted while being on AoS EAD/AP?
Will the USCIS ask for each and every month's paystubs during the final EB2 AoS adjudication.
Well, there is no rule on that as long as you have a job at the end of your wait, you should be given a green card. More...

We have finally got the employment based green card after applying almost 12 years ago my question is around taking some time off. Most people ask the question of switching employers after getting the EB Green Card but my question is if I can just quit my job and take a break for 6 months before getting back into the workforce next year. Do I have to wait a certain amount of time before quitting or can I do it now?
I think that's perfectly legitimate because when you received your green card approval on that date you had no intention of quitting, but rapidly thereafter the situation changed so if the situation changes there is no problem somebody quitting work and staying out of work for as long as needed.

Rajiv and his team are excellent to work with; they have a set process for everything. Rajiv has loads of experience and guides the clients accordingly.
Heather is quick at responses and takes care of things as a priority if the situation needs immediate attention.
I would certainly recommend them and they richly deserve 5 stars.
I would highly recommend the services of Rajiv Khanna for any immigration issues. They were successfully able to process my green card even though I had stopped working for the sponsoring company for about a year.
