Please accept this small token of my appreciation for your support and efforts in helping all the way from LC to I485 - for a successful GC application approval. I believe Mr. Rajiv's team of people exemplifies how cooperation can achieve great results. My special thanks to Suman, Homa, Leila, Shivani, Iqbal and Diane Lombardo. I can always count on you to get the legal work done and on time!
I have retained the services of the law offices of Rajiv S Khanna for my Green card processing/filing. It has been over a year since the process started. In one word I would say the services that I received were "EXCELLENT" I would like to express my frank opinion and comments on some of the experiences 1. Even before the process started, Rajiv Khanna replied to my queries, concerns, questions within a few days of emailing him. This was even before the retainer agreement was signed. 2. LC: I was in a real hurry to get the process going since I had very little time on hand. I found that the people I had to interact with were able to put themselves in my shoes and actually try their best to speed up the paperwork required so that the application could be filed at the earliest. 2. I-140: Preparing ahead: On suggesting that we prepare ahead and have the I-140 application ready to be sent when the LC is received, I was happy with the co-operation, advice and support I received. As a result my I-140 application was sent to the INS just one day after the certified LC was received in the offices of Rajiv Khanna!! 3. I am sure the same kind of service will continue all through the process, and if past experience is any indication, I expect that my paperwork for 485 will be ready to be filed the day my I-140 approval is received by the Law office of Rajiv Khanna. 4. As for the fee arrangement, I really like the payment on monthly basis instead of one or two lump sum amount. Overall, based on my experience so far, I would, without hesitation, recommend the services of the Law offices of Rajiv Khanna for a Green card application.
When we were doing our research to find an attorney, Rajiv Khanna's law firm was very strongly recommended by a friend. My friend said that he got great personal attention from Mr. Khanna himself but most importantly, that the law firm was always persistent in getting papers moved quickly through HR departments or agencies. My wife and I have certainly experienced that ourselves. The interview call has come in a record 3 MONTHS!!! Thanks to Homa Naderi who developed a great relationship with us and for staying on top of things, ensuring the forms were filled out accurately, and being prompt in replying to our questions and e-mails. Thanks, God Bless.
Rajiv Khanna's office is very client-friendly and will understand the client's problems and work with them closely. This will ease the tensions/worries. And they are very prompt on updating the information to the clients.
Mr. Khanna's office is working on my GC case through Labor Certification and I cannot say enough great things about his team! I had some really bad experiences in the past with some s* lawyers, and know I can be at peace knowing I am in great and competent hands. Richa Narang was of great help during the 6-month RIR recruiting process, always reminding me to turn in documents ASAP. I have never had this experience before, most law firms don't care about their clients, they only care about collecting their fees. A friend of mine just got his H1B approved with no RFEs and in record time. He and his family are ecstatic and very grateful. And so am I. Thanks for always having the time to talk to me and answer my questions. You guys are great!!
I started my relationship with Rajiv and team from 2000. They were with me all the time from 2000 to 2006 for whole journey of 6 years in my green card processing.
Half way through my company changed its name forced to start all over again and then went with the many hick ups due to my employer ( a start up company) going up and down. Rajiv team was with me to help me to resolve the issues. Finally my green card is approved after 4 EAD extensions. Thanks for the advice and constant help from Rajiv's team. I could have lost this battle long back with out your help. Once again Thanks for making it happen
PERM filed Nov. 20, 06 Approval notification on Nov. 27, 06 in just 7 days. Excellent teamwork and attention to detail by Amrita and Seema at Rajiv Khanna's office. Highly commendable.
Labor filed Nov 10 2006, Approval received Nov 16 2006.Amrita and Seema did a fantastic job. Of course Mr Khanna, the architect, once again proved his work.Keep up the good work.
I am doing my GC through your offices. In fact most of our employees from my company are doing their GC through your company. I was the first one and have referred quite a bit of my colleagues because they are well organized and well responsive the 2 main things that we can control, rest are controlled by USCIS. Good team of people and Vijay Durgam has helped me through this tough process and has been a great case manager for me. So did Anna Baker who has helped me with H1B related things though my H1B is not processed through Rajiv's office, they have always helped me. Great show team. Thanks to Rajiv and Team.

Few years back I entrusted my GC processing with Mr. Rajiv Khanna. The professionalism and prompt support extended by the entire team was so very impressive. This lead me file the GC’s of my employees when I started my software consulting firm. Over the years I have see the professionalism and focused attention each case is getting increase. Last week we filed PERM for another employee and support Seema and Amrita gave is really commendable
The professionalism and prompt support extended by Seema and Amrita gave is really commendable.
This firm takes client service to the next level. Rajiv's firm worked with me the first time for an H1B 3 years back. I had a great experience that time.
They have done it again this time for my Labor cert. Amrita and Seema worked on PERM with me and Amrita called me on a SATURDAY to inform me of the approval. Only 2 days after the filing! They pay attention to every detail and know their stuff.
Thank you Amrita, Seema and everyone at Mr. Khanna's office.
Seema and Amrita were extremely helpful in my process and they did everything on time. Good job!
Thanks and Regards.
My I-485 petition was filed just couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to appreciate the work Tarun Sharma did for my petition and the prompt responses.

Just came to know from the USCIS website that our I485 petitions have been approved and cards have been ordered. I want to thank each and every member of your firm who were with me through this long road that took 4 years and 7 months to travel . My sincere thanks to Richa Narang, Helen Anchillo, Kumuda Prasad, Attorney Jitesh Mallik and Attorney Mathew Chacko for handling various stages of our application process in the most efficient and professional ways possible. We call ourselves permanent residents today only because of the help and guidance that you provided and we sincerely appreciate your services. Specifically I would like to mention the promptness and efficiency that was shown by the team in responding to the I-140 RFE. During this past 5 years, there was never an email or a phone call that went unanswered from your office. That really shows how professional you are as a team.
My sincere thanks to you Mr. Khanna, for all the help and guidance that you
gave us through out the application process. You were always ready to answer all my questions (whether GC related or not) and I really appreciate all the help that you provided.

I was working with employer A for 7 years on H1 B and they have filed Labor and I-140 with Priority Date 2014. Now I am on H4 EAD since 2019 and working for employer B for same role .
My Priority date was in filing date chart and my ex employer A agreed and filed my I-485 with form J on November 2020. Do I have to join my old Employer A now or it's fine if I join them after I-485 is Approved? If I don't join them now , will there be any problems in the 485 interview if I intent to join after I-485 approval ? Is it possible that employer B can file form J form after 180 days of I-485 receipt date without joining my old employer A considering my Priority date will be on the final action date after 4, 5 years .

I have a PERM and i-140 approved by my previous employer. My priority date is 15 Mar 2015. I changed my employer in Jan-2020 with a similar job occupation. I was told that I don’t need to file a completely new process for PERM and i-140 with the new employer but the new employer can file an i-485J form when the priority date is current to complete the remaining GC process. Is this a valid process to complete my adjustment of status(i-485) and apply for EAD? What are the complications involved of going through the route with old i-140 and getting an approved i-485? If that option is not viable, will I have to file a new i-140 with the new employer? There’s got to be an easier way of dealing with this, because I’m sure many people have changed their employer after their i-140 approval.

You have to start your green card all over again, no question about that. FAQ in detail...
Note: This is a verbatim transcript of the referenced audio/video media delivered as oral communication, and, therefore, may not conform to written grammatical or syntactical form.
1) I lost my job almost 6 months ago. I was on H1B with I-140 approved. I filed for a change of status to B2 (not approved yet). Now I have to extend again since I wasn't able to find a job and cannot move out of the USA right now.
How long/many times can one extend a B2 under the given circumstances?<br>
2) If for whatever reason say the original B2 petition filed in July gets denied do I get illegal presence for all these months from July? How long(days/weeks) does a person has to leave the country in this case?
<br>
3) Any suggestion on what steps to take if USCIS does not approve COS from B2 (pending) to H1b but processes as consular processing. I am a Canadian resident but I heard only emergency visa appointments are available.

1. Until the B-2 is denied you could try to keep getting it extended.
2. No, as long as a timely filed B-2 was pending you have no unlawful presence.
