Choosing Rajiv Khanna's office for GC processing is one of the best decisions in my career. They did excellent job. They 've got my GC done in about 18 months. Appreciate the services of Rajiv, Leila, Diane and Vijay.
I received excellent service from Rajiv’s office. Rajiv and his staff stay on top of latest immigration issues. Rajiv was always available for advise on my case. My special thanks to Diane Lambardo, Suman, Leila Lehman, Pooja Sama and Mathew Chacko.
When an I-485 is accepted at the Service Center, requests for FD-258 FBI fingerprint checks, fingerprint fees, and G-325A consular background checks are made by USCIS. Responses to these requests come back to USCIS and must be matched up with the appropriate files held in staging. File Maintenance "file connects" these responses to the corresponding files.
My wife and I had our passports stamped after a 6 hour ordeal that started at 8:30 a.m. and ended at 2:30 p.m. Here are some tips based on what we experienced,
1. For an 8:40 appointment, get there before 8 if at all possible. They were not checking appointment timings, so people with 9/10 a.m. appointments were ahead of us in the line. All they care is that you have an appointment for that day.
My Green Card is approved as of 02/16/2005,I thank all members of Rajiv S Khanna Team specially, Shivane, Heather, Suman and many more they are very professional in their work and I will recommend him for any legal advise regarding GC...thanks
The folks at Mr. Khanna's office did a thoroughly professional job guiding us every step of the way. Prerna, Shivane, Vijay, Diane and everyone else I came in contact with was extremely helpful. I would recommend them to anyone whole heartedly.
I am also one of the happy clients of Rajiv Khanna. I found all the staff promptly helpful and knowledgeable in every aspect of the process. I felt proud and lucky to have my case filed through Rajiv Khanna when my other colleagues who filed their cases with other lawyers didn’t get the same quality services. I sincerely appreciate all of them, especially Prerna. I wish all the best for them.
I am really impressed with the lawyers at Rajiv Khanna, they do everything meticulously and are very supportive.
I am very pleased by the whole experience of my GC process.
My GC was done with the help of Prerna, Richa, Hellen, Shivane, Raksha, Savita and Subha. Hats off to them
The office of Rajiv S. Khanna is absolutely one of the best in the business. If you are looking for quality representation, look no further. This is your firm.
From the Labor Certification through the Green Card process, they were both polite and very professional. They would take time to patiently answer all my questions and address all my concerns.
My sincere thanks and gratitude to all of you especially Jitesh, Shivane, Prerna, Matthew and Subha.
You guys are touching the lives of thousands of people in this country. Keep up the good work.
For ever grateful,
Mr. Rajiv and team are amazing. They really supported our GC processing by all means. The immigration Portal is so informative and helpful in making critical decisions.
Rajiv, Subha, Leila, Suman, Lakshmi, Charu, Prerana, Richa every one were so helpful during the process.
They were consistently supporting during the long process of 3years and 9 months to get our GC.
I wish many more other clients of this company will succeed like us in getting their GC because this talented team help.
Your website has best information available for immigration. Hats of to you and your team for keeping all the information upto date and answering to some of the most complex questions arising from unique situations people pass through in different conditions.
Thanks & keep up the good work.
I got my GC approved (AC 21 case) last week. Mr. Rajiv Khanna and His team represented me through this long process. They were very helpful with their advice, suggestions and timely filings. I would really recommend anyone to use this firm to represent you and you will definitely have peace of mind.
Mr. Khanna successfully represented me in my green card petition for the Outstanding Researcher category. We submitted the I140 on April 24, 2003 and I485 on September 12, 2003, with the Texas Service Center. I received I140 approval on January 11, 2005 and I485 was approved on January 13, 2005. There has been no request for further evidence throughout the whole process.
I am extremely satisfied with the services and grateful to Mr. Khanna for the professional work he has done for me. He was extremely professional and supportive through the whole process. His advice to submit the two applications concurrently has been crucial for me having now the passport stamped with the green card approval.
To me, Mr Khanna was supportive as if I would have been his relative, not his client. I have gone through some scary moments because of the March 2004 memo which I am convinced it significantly slowed down my entire case. I also had one glitch with my current employer, which, at his advice, I was able to overcome. I was worried about not having the I140 approved for so long and almost lost hope that anything good is going to result. Mr. Khanna was very confident in the case he put together for me and for very good reasons. You can trust that if he is going to accept your case he is confident that your application will be approved and he will be there with you for the whole journey.
Finally, I have very good words for Mr. Khanna's staff, especially Ms. Suman Bhasin and Ms. Diane Lombardo. As a client you can call or e-mail his office at any time and you will promptly find his staff at the other end helping you. They will constantly help you put all the bits together and understand the meaning of every step of the process.
For all people out there contemplating on embarking to this journey I can confidently say that you will have in Mr. Khanna the best professional advice and work along with something money cannot buy, your best friend.
Mr. Khanna, THANK YOU!
and, Good luck to everybody.

FAQs: H-1B visa transfer before arrival into the USA|| Employee paying for green card and H-1B premium costs || Using an old H-1B visa stamp of a different employer
This is regarding the H-1B transfer from India before working for Employer.
I have the H-1B visa stamped with employer A, but now I want to transfer the H-1B to Employer B. I have not yet entered the USA and I have not started working for employer A.
Can I transfer the H-1B visa to new Employer B, and what are the mandatory documents that are required?
Also, I wanted to know if the pay slips are mandatorily required for H-1B Transfer as I don't have any. Looking for more details about pay slip requirements.
If I can transfer my H-1B to Employer B, then should I travel to the USA and then start the process or should I do it from India?
Yes, you can transfer your H-1B visa from employer A to employer B even if you have the visa stamped with employer A and haven't entered the US. Pay stubs are not mandatory for this transfer, and you can travel on the old visa stamp with the new employer's H-1B approval. However, it's advisable to consult with H-1B lawyers before traveling. Ensure you obtain the H-1B approval from the new employer before entering the U.S.

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.
