I would like to thank Mr. Khanna and his team members esp. Suman, Leila and Diane Lombardo for the great services they have provided to my family. We started our GC process two years ago and got approved in Sep '01 and received card in Dec '01. Applied under EB2 RIR.
I would like to thank Mr. Khanna and his team members for the great services they have provided to my family. My wife and I started our GC application three years ago and got approved last month. It's EB2 RIR.

I have been using the services of Law offices of Rajiv S.Khanna for my labor certification. The whole process was very smooth and thanks to the excellent coordination by Pramita Shidhore. Everyone was so prompt in answering my questions. I would strongly recommend the services of this firm, great job!
I was working with Mathew all along from labor to finish the green card process. They are very professional and very very helpful. I recommend to every body confidently to go to Rajiv S Khanna office for any immigration needs. I personally like Mathew the way he dealt and helped me answering every small concern.
They are awesome.
It‘s a great news to receive my green card finally on 06/29 after long waiting.
It took around 4+ years (LPD: 09/2002, EB3, I-485 08/2003).
I really appreciate every body’s time, help and patience from the Law offices of Mr. Rajiv Khanna.
My special thanks to Mr. Mathew Chako and Mr. Jitesh Malik who have been very helpful through out.
It’s my pleasure to work with such a great legal team and I truly recommend this firm to every body for their Immigration needs.
Looking forward to work with you.
This is great . I got my Labor certified within 6-7 working days. I would like to Thank Pramita Shidhore who was handling my case , for doing an excellent work and to keep me updated on the status. I use to get response to all my question almost immediately. I was confident when I decided to go through Rajiv Khanna for my GC process that every thing will flow smoothly and this confirms it. I highly recommend Mr.Khanna's office and staff for all immigration purposes.
The very next day , when my Labor was certified , I got call from Tarun Sharma whose Handling my I140 case, giving me all the details about I140 process and answering all my questions . This is really great , no waste of time and every things move very fast.
We got our GC approved on June 5th, 2007 and the cards were received within a week. The journey was long with several roadblocks. The expertise of Mathew Chacko did the trick. His commitment to excellence and above par communication always made me feel at ease. I knew a professional is handling the case. The fee was so reasonable. Our earlier attorneys were more interested in prepayments than service. Mathew's knowledge and expertise on immigration matters is remarkable. I would strongly recommend the services of this firm.
I had my first H1 petition and subsequent H1 renewal processed through the Law offices of Rajiv Khanna. I strongly recommend these folks for any immigration related issues as they go about the business in a very professional and sincere way. My case manager for H1 renewal was Mr. Chris Harman and I very much appreciate his quick responses and clarity in responses to multiple questions that I had posed. We are very thankful for all the help and have no doubt will come to your office for any immigration related matters. Please keep up the good work and the excellent website. Best regards.

I'm an Indian, living in Canada on PR. I recently applied for a visit visa to the US, and got denied. The main questions I got were regarding University of Farmington. It was a fake university setup by ICE, and then they did a swoop and arrested and deported a lot of the students. I was enrolled into Farmington from Feb 2017 - Feb 2018. <br>
I was asked if:<br>
1) How I didn't think it was weird that there were no classes?<br>
My response - Well yes, that's why I left after a year<br>
2) So what did you do for a year?<br>
My response - waited on more information from the university regarding class timings, and just kinda hung around<br>
3) I was pressed on what I did when I was hanging around, how I paid for things<br>
My response - I worked during that time<br>
<br>
The officer typed up something into the screen for sometime (I'm assuming it's whatever was discussed above) and gave me a denial.
<br>
I did not want to start a debate about immigration laws or how this was Entrapment, or the "bait car" tactic. I thanked him, took my passport and the pink rejection letter and left.<br>
What are my options ahead? Should I:<br>
1) Re-apply and give it another shot?<br>
2) Wait to become a Canadian citizen, then apply?<br>
3) Enroll into an organization that has conferences and such in the US, and based on an upcoming conference (eg: Chicago, or NY), then apply for that conference only?<br>
4) Hire a lawyer to fight this in court as being unfair.

WASHINGTON — This week, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will celebrate the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the country by welcoming almost 7,500 new citizens in nearly 110 naturalization ceremonies between July 1 and July 5. The naturalization ceremonies will be held in venues across the country, and include several notable ceremonies.
My wife and I are currently on EAD's since Feb 2012 when the dates became current for our priority date and we were able to apply for the I-485. She is the primary applicant and I am the dependent on her application. Since 2012 the EAD/AP card is being renewed every 2 years. With the EB3 category now going ahead of EB2 does it make sense for her to downgrade to EB3 - Apply for I-140 under EB3. I believe it takes 6 months for approval so we would essentially be doing this preemptively in anticipation of our date becoming current under EB3 in 6+ months.

Hi everybody.. Thanks to excellent work by Rajiv and his colleagues, we received our GC in about 10 months - filed 485 in Jan01, approved in Nov01 EB2 RIR. There is no doubt Rajiv & team are the best- one can feel assured about the entire process - we got step by step explanation of the entire process, the documents that will be required, sample of all affidavits that may be required. We just provide personal and work info, Rajiv's office completes all paperwork and send them for your signature - very quickly by Fedex. Diane is very thorough and a pleasure to work with. We had no RFE's but had to file I140 amendment for company merger. Everything went on smoothly, thanks to Rajiv's staff and their solid preparation. Entire GC process started in Sep 99 to approval in Nov 01. Great job Rajiv. Once labor was approved, we had info as to what we can expect in the I140 and I485 process. All we had to do was fill in our part and leave the rest to RSK's office. Rajiv is so easy to reach as is the person working on the case. Prompt response to your queries and no-nonsense communication are other highlights one can find when working with Rajiv. In closing we have no hesitation in recommending Rajiv Khanna to look after your immigration needs. Just look at how many folks felt happy working with Rajiv. Thanks to his famous website immigration.com and the various links (the forums section is my favourite) he has surely helped so many of us to successfully complete the long journey to residency. God Bless.
