I would like to thank Ms. Shivane Sharma for her follow up with INS almost everyday for last few weeks. INS has misplaced my file and lost one of the important forms. Ms. Sharma has done a very great job by communicating with INS and at the same time giving me the status from time to time. She is very professional at her work and prompt in replying an email or returning a call. This is another Green card story: We never received any Receipt from INS after filing my I-140. Ms. Shivane Sharma contacted INS to get the status and noticed that INS cashed the check, but could not find my file. In order to track my file, INS told Ms. Sharma to get the copy of Front & Back side of the check, sent by my employer to INS. (INS prints Receipt # on back side of the check and sends it back to the bank) Ms. Sharma contacted my employer and explained the situation. My employer then obtained the check from the Bank and gave the necessary information to her. Ms. Sharma again contacted INS and furnished the Receipt #. This time INS tracked my file, and informed that they have sent the Receipt to some unknown Lawyer in Connecticut. INS also informed Ms. Sharma that they did not receive form G-28 along with the application (God knows how it was lost?). Ms. Sharma again contacted my employer, got the signature on the ‘new’ Form G-28, and faxed it to INS on very same day. Finally she contacted INS again to confirm that INS received everything required to process my application. Thank you Ms. Shivane Sharma for everything !!!
I started my association with Rajiv's office way back when I had questions about my F-1 visa in 1997. Since then, Rajiv and his remarkable office staff have helped me first with my H-1B and then my EB-2 green card. While these cases were all very different and I had the chance to deal with many people at Rajiv's office, there was one thing that remained a constant: meticulous attention to detail and prompt, courteous help. Of course, with an attorney of Rajiv's stature, you will benefit from the best legal advice possible. If your case is even slightly complex, you will NEED this expertise. Unlike other big-name law firms, Rajiv's office has a certain cohesion and close-knit touch to it. This helps greatly whenever you have questions. You never get a runaround and always get timely help. I had the opportunity to work with Rajiv, SumanJi, Leila, Homa, Diane Lombardo and LakshmiJi during my various cases and they were all GREAT!! I would highly recommend Rajiv and his law office to others.
As usual, RK & Co. has done excellent job helping get my H1 extension. It was done professionally and expeditiously. The extension was approved without any problem. Good job!
When I applied for the green card, Attorney Khanna was kind enough to spend one hour with me talking about the process and the work that will need to be performed in order to file the papers. We also talked a little bit about the meaning of life which was refreshing. He mentioned that Diane Lombardo who asists him will be incharge of my case and said that she is thorough and there should be no problem. He completely understated the capabilities of Diane. She is very thorough and to say the least one of the most thorough people I have ever worked with. Her attention to detail and thoroughness was impressive. My I-140 had a record turn around of 45 days from the date of mailing to approval notice. My EAD came back for in 14 days. This was mainly due to Diane's hard work. Since my filing I have referred 2 other people to Attorney Khanna.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved at your law firm for taking a meticulous and methodical approach to do a good job. Your firm managed to do Labor Certification to I-485 approval in 25 months. No RFE at any of these crucial stages. Diane Lombardo, especially, is very knowledgeable and her quick responses to my innumerable queries were highly appreciated. I would also like to mention a terrific 'customer service' by Leila Lehman, Richa Narang and Nimia Arnibar. The discussions on your website are also extemely helpful. I would recommend your firm any day for my company's immigration needs. Keep up the good work, Rajesh
COMMENTS: I heard a lot about Rajiv S. Khanna's legal firm through a friend of mine and true to his word, they have proven themselves. Rajiv S. Khanna's firm has been very CONFIDENT, WELL INFORMED, HELPFUL AND PROMPT throughout the case. ABOUT MY CASE: I work for a Software company (around 300 employees) with branches throughout the world. I had to go to India for 1-2 years to train our off-shore team and streamline processes for handling US Clients. I already had a GC for about 2 years. I was worried about my stay out of US as it would hinder US Citizenship processing. N-470 seemed to be the best approach (as it would treat my stay out of US for business/employment purpose, as if I was in US). For e.g., Without N-470: Apart from other requirements for Citizenship, following must be fulfilled. . Has been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the previous five years (absences of more than six months but less than one year shall disrupt the applicant's continuity of residence unless the applicant can establish that he or she did not abandon his or her residence during such period) has resided within a state or district for at least three months. With N-470: If you live outside US for about 2 years on business/employment purpose, then these 2 years are counted as residing in US as long as we abide to the rules for N-470. The entire process took about a year (ie. time between submitting N-470 and getting the approved N-470 via mail) Some of the requirements are: 1. Must be on GC for at least 1 year with continuous residency in US (without any absences from US for 1 year). 2. Must apply for N-470 before leaving the country. 3. Must have a valid reason and supporting documents to show that your company is sending you to its sister company for the purpose of business improvement. 4. Apply for I-131 (Re-entry permit) before leaving from US on your assignment. Rajiv's staff has been very helpful and has all the information on how to apply for N-470. They even provided counseling to help me understand the requirements and if I qualify for N-470 before taking up my case. Good Luck...
Thanks a lot to Law Offices Of Rajiv S Khanna for doing an excellent job to get my H1 and my wife's H4 renewed. My case was a little complicated and my employer has very little knowledge about the whole process, but Rena and Anna did an outstanding job in preparing the job description letter and coordinating with my employer. They are both extremely polite and patient and are very prompt in responding to emails/phone calls.
Thanks a lot to both Rena and Anna for all their help and special thanks to Rajiv for his expert advice.
I am glad i Chose "Law Offices Of Rajiv S Khanna"!
My experience with Mr. Rajiv Khanna's Law office has been excellent so far. I have received my Labour and I-140 within a year inspite of getting an RFE (which was handled very well).
We have applied our I-140 and 485 petitions through Rajiv's law office. We received our GC approvals the other day.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr.Rajiv Khanna and his team.
My Special thanks to Mathew Chacko, Prerna Mehta and Suman Bhasin for their help and attention with all of our GC related matters.
Since day1 we have received exceptional service. Their staff is easily approachable.
I would also like to thank Rajiv Khanna for the great service he provides for the immigrant community through his Live chats.
The attorney fees are reasonable for the valuable service they provide compared to other noted firms.
Looking forward to recommend your law firm to my friends and family.
I would like to thank Mr.Rajiv and his team (especially Anna Baker and Fran Fischer) for getting my H1B transfer with extension. It may sound simple but both my I-94 and Visa were expired for more than 240 days and my extension with the previous employer was pending with USCIS for almost 9 months. We were really impressed with the way the case was prepared and presented to the USCIS. Anna Baker and Fran Fisher was very supportive during the entire process and answering even the simplest of questions promptly. I was surprised one evening when Anna called me at 7:30 PM to discuss about the case. That shows the level of professionalism by LORK's team. I would recommend LORK for all immigration needs.

We thank you very much Mr. Rajiv Khanna, for providing us by far the best advisement on our case. Your suggested course of action turned out to be the winner since it comprehensively favored us. So we would like to take this opportunity to convey our appreciations for your meticulous judgment and astute advisement on our case.
We believe that people, who engaged services of Mr. Khanna's law firm for their immigration matters have certainly made one of the best choices in their lives. Also we would strongly recommend hiring Law Offices of Mr. Rajiv S Khanna, if anyone can choose to pick and is on the look out for a reputable Law firm to handle his/her immigration needs. Rest assured you can’t go wrong with that decision. In fact your case will be dealt with utmost trust and care by this firm that you won’t worry about anything ever again. Surely, you will agree that such a feeling is priceless.
Mr. Khanna and his staff constantly keep abreast of all the changes that are taking place in immigration law on daily basis is another reason why one should trust them completely.
Rajiv Khanna and associates are helping me in my Green Card processing since January 2004 and recently they did a very good job to get me the I-140 approval. I received an RFE on my I-140 in Feb 09 and response was well prepared by one of the Lawyers and sent within a weeks time. I got the approval on my I-140 just after a weeks time. It was a great job and effort from the Rajiv Khanna's office and their associates. I appreciate their good work and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good immigration lawyer for their Green Card or any other immigration related work.
Mr. RS Khanna’s team is very efficient, knowledgeable, prompt, and I am running out of words to praise them. I had filed my I485 (May’01) in Nebraska and currently waiting for my GC. Mr.Khanna, Leila, SumanJI, Diane Lambardo are all great and prompt. I have been his client for well over 3 years. Over this period I had relied him and his team for several (non) immigration related questions and every time my call was returned within 24 hrs. Even in my dead sleep, I will recommend Mr.Khanna for anyone. Just trust him and his team, and rest assured well. Hats Off!! Mr.Khanna.
