I don't really know where to start. We started with another local immigration attorney with one candidate, but he insisted that a friend had gotten great results with Rajiv. Our company is very loyal with local businesses and even attorneys :). We went with Rajiv as this candidate was very persistent about his success rate and he was adamant that we HAD to use Rajiv's office. Personally I'm very skeptical so I went out on the web searching for information about this "Rajiv", who seemed to in our candidate's friends eyes - walk on water. I found myself looking at the C-SPAN video that is posted on the immigration.com web page. That one video had me SOLD on his knowledge base, his compassion towards others and his eagerness to help those who did not understand to understand! I was excited for our first conference call and I was not disappointed! After that introductory conference call we all breathed a sigh of relief as we were very new to the H-1 process. I had been designated the "H-1 EXPERT" for our firm so I knew I had to mesh well with Rajiv and his team. I knew also after speaking with his H-1 Team and later his Green Card Team that we were all a perfect match. Anna and Judi have been instrumental in pushing through TREMENDOUS amounts of documentation for H-1 transfers, new H-1 applications, and RFE's that we received from USCIS. Jagbir and Rajiv's attention to detail on those issues was truly astounding. We also have worked with Heather and Art with Green Card procedures and filings. Heather held my hand through all of the advertising, postings, job descriptions, fees...I felt like if I made one wrong move I would be responsible for a denial in this process. Of course my fears were calmed and I feel truly blessed to have come in contact with this firm. I am truly amazed each time with all of their knowledge of these processes. They are ALL always on top of things and great at getting POSITIVE RESULTS. Even when technically our representation is done, they are there to answer questions as a courtesy to our company. We are so very grateful for all of their assistance and we feel that we have a partner in the murky waters of immigration law. We HIGHLY recommend The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna to any company who is new to immigration or even old pros at it. We HIGHLY recommend The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna to immigrants who are working their way through the murky processes of immigration. We HIGHLY recommend The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna if you want a team who is not just in the "present" part of your case but are looking ahead at any stumbling blocks that could hinder your process. We highly recommend The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna if you desire EXCELLENCE! That is what it is all about! Thank you Rajiv, Anna, Judi, Heather, Art, Jabir, Leslie, and all the other team members who have worked tirelessly with our company, many other companies and individuals for the benefit of people who are looking for opportunities here in our great land...
State Dept. instructions for the year 2013 Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. This year, natives from South Sudan and Poland are eligible, while Bangladesh natives are ineligible. Entries for the DV-2013 program must be submitted electronically between 10/4/11 and 11/5/11.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is implementing the first phase in a series of proposed enhancements to the EB-5 program. Beginning today, Form I-924 applicants will be able to communicate directly with USCIS adjudicators via email in an effort to streamline the process and quickly raise and resolve issues and questions that arise during the adjudication process.
Mr Khanna is not only a prominent immigration attorney in US but also a very helpful person. Right from the days of Unitefamilies (back in 2004-2005), he is very helpful and a great adviser in helping us in all possible means. Even though his time is very costly, but he is always much willing to help us with entire heart and without any cost. I am very thankful to Rajiv Khanna for all the advises he has given me in all these years.
Mr. Khanna, You are one the most knowledgable and approachable immigration lawyer. Thanks a million for all your free advices - It certainly takes a good heart to do so!!!

Dear Stakeholder-
1) USCIS Announces Use of Fiscal Year 2011 Employment-Based Visa Allocations
For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010
WASHINGTON— Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton announced a new initiative to streamline the international student visa process for foreign students seeking to study in the United States. The Study in the States initiative is a key component of a government-wide effort to encourage the best and brightest foreign students to study and remain in the U.S.
I just found out a couple of days back by my international advisor that I was out of status for two years now for taking classes in a community and transferring credits and it made me a part time student..He suggested I left the country after the semester and come back with the new I-20 and letter of recommendation he gives me. And I also I have been married to a US citizen for 2 months. Is it safe to go out of the country?
You can just apply for your green card. Do not travel outside USA until you get your green card (or travel only as advised by your lawyers).
Can I use my J-2 visa for internship and work after completion of FPGEE?
J-2 holders can get work authorization and work as per the licensing requirements of their profession.
What is to be done when your green card is stolen? I just got mine not to long ago, I am 17 years old and I am not sure what I am supposed to do?
You can easily apply for a replacement green card. Read the instructions on Form I-90. Please visit this link for more information.

I am a US citizen turning 21 next month. Can I sponsor my dad to get a green card even if I am not holding his last name?
Yes you can. Having the same last name is not required.
This is the second time I am dealing with Mr Khanna and his team. I must say it's a team of not only highly talented but also very helpful people. I got some great sugggestions from everyone I delt with in this firm, everybody at the firm specially Anna always made me feel very welcomed with any questions I had. I would highly recommend Mr Khanna's lawfirm for immigration related work. Thank you so much for everything. Thanks a lot for everything
Released Sept. 19, 2011
WASHINGTON - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), marking a significant milestone in its efforts to provide relief to victims of crimes, has for the second straight year approved 10,000 petitions for U nonimmigrant status, also referred to as the U-visa.
On an annual basis, 10,000 U-visas are set aside for victims of crime who have suffered substantial mental or physical abuse and are willing to help law enforcement authorities investigate or prosecute crime.
ICE fact sheet provides information to designated School officials(DSOs) and responsible officers(ROs) in order to help F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa holders (including both primary and dependent status holders) obtain driver’s licenses or state identification cards.
My US citizen father is filing an I-130 for me; will my husband automatically be accepted at the same time as me if I get accepted?
Your father does not have to file a separate application for your husband. In the various papers you get from the consulate and the National Visa Center, you can indicate that he is getting his green card with you.
My J-1 at Cornell Psychology Department expired on Aug 31 2011 after 5 years. Currently I'm spending my grace period. I'm exempt from the 2 years rule. I was wondering if it could be further extended. If not, would it be possible for my department to issue a new DS-2019 (J1) instead? I have only been working here for about a year and have been at a different university before.
Extension is possible only if the program rules permit it. The worst case scenario in extension or new 2019 as I see it can be only that you have to go get a new via stamp.
I am a UK resident and currently have a B1 visa with 7 years to run. When I enter the US via LAX they always stamp my passport and issue the I-94 card for 12 months. We always leave before the date given. Question - do we have to go back to the UK (our country of origin) or could we go to Canada for a week and then re-enter the US?
You can go to a third country, but your entry back into USA can be declined if CBP believes you are spending more time in USA than you should. Typically, B visas are for brief visits (may be six months or less in a 12-24 month period).
US Labor Department postpones revising wage calculations for H-2B program. Delay avoids administering the H-2B program under potentially conflicting court orders.
Please check the attachment to see "Executive Summary Of TPS EAD Teleconference".
It was great.Cleared all my questions.Will recommend to anyone.
Rajiv and his team are great. they are most cordial and supportive.
WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) seeks public comments on a proposed rule published in the Federal Register today that would enable USCIS to process certain applications approved between 1995 and 1998 by immigrant investors under the fifth preference employment-based immigrant visa classification, also known as EB-5.
I want to know how I can come back to US. I came US 2006 like a guest, stayed about 5 years & left US. But my family still there, ex-wife, two daughters older 20 year old & younger 17. When my daughter turns 21 year old can she apply for family reunification, especially for me?
One of the ways could be for your daughter to apply for your green card when she turns 21. The problem is, if you were unlawfully present in USA for more than a year, you may be barred from entering USA for 10 years.
Dear Mr. Khanna and the immigration.com staff, I really express my sincere thanks for the sound and correct advise, help and support I have received from your esteemed offices. Thanks also for the kindness and benevolence, you showed on me by understanding my financial problems and doing my case pro bono. May God bless you all.
