A very professional group of people working to help us out in all aspects. Their approach, quick response to queries and most of all their initiative and drive to follow up for us are fasinating. Their work definitely needs appreciation.
We got our 485 approval (07/13/02) and got that stamped in the passport from the local INS. There are no words to thank Rajiv S Khanna and his team. Diane, Leila, and Suman had helped us in each and every stage and more important thing is, they return the call in matter of hours. Very prompt and courteous in reply, and they are all highly talented. There were no unanswered questions and I would recommend Rajiv and his team to anyone. With their teams doing the process, I knew I am in safe hands. Thank you all.
My H-1B premium processing was done by the offices of Rajiv Khanna and his staff. He and his staff (Sirisha) were really helpful and I wish to thank them for the same. My overall experience: I feel he is a BRAND NAME in this business. "His name says it all"

I had a 11 AM appointment (ND-4/6/2004 at VSC) via infopass but showed up at 10 AM just in case.
1. The guard at the building entrance asked me to enter at the beginning of the Q since I had an infopass appointment.
2. In room 310, I stood in the line just like everyone else. Got a ticket at 10:30 and headed to room 900 on the 9th floor.
3. My number was called at 11 AM and I handed my infopass appointment sheet and filled out 765 form. The person at the counter asked me to wait for the number to be called again.

Dear Friends and Fearfuls! This is the message I posted on my Facebook Page after speaking with Rajiv for the first time. (and before I knew about this opportunity to post comments on his own page.) I felt it was so important to let other people know that there is someone like this who is actually practicing law, much less IMMIGRATION LAW! Hooray for the good guys. One more in the camp. --- FB Message: If anyone you know needs a good immigration attorney, I encourage you to speak with Rajiv Khanna. Riajiv has an on-line blog which is incredibly helpful and a FAQ page that is so informative that I found my self reading pages of it that weren't even related to my questions. I was very struck by his ability to communicate in layman's English and his understanding and compassion for people with problems. When I spoke with him by phone, he shared his philosophy. He said (in essence) "We tried to figure out how much we could give away without it hurting our practice, and we discovered we could give away almost everything." I'm sure this doesn't mean the man works for free--but it does seem his career is motivated by compassion and generosity--TOO RARE in the legal field as we all know. Rajiv has a gift for simplifying the complicated and speaking to the person. In addition, he doesn't "work" on Fridays. Instead, he dedicates one day a week to community service and helping people by phone, answering questions, and trying to find quick solutions. AMAZING! Especially in today's very complex world of immigration. Office phone # 540-886-6321 in Staunton, VA (suburb of DC) Competent, Quick, compassionate, hopeful, follows-through, finds the solution--I am very, very impressed. And last but not least, you come away from speaking with Rajiv feeling smart, not stupid. Also, so rare when it comes to lawyers. Many thanks, Rajiv. Susan

I am working in a Federal Gov't Agency, and in the near future leaving for Frankfurt, Germany, for a conference, and with a plan in mind to fly to USA via Germany after my conference is completed. My question, here, is that whether I can use my US visa, which is valid up to Apr 06/2012, whereas the passport has already expired by last May 23/2011, and due to be replaced by a new one.
You will need an unexpired passport to enter USA. People in your situation carry both the new and the old passports.
Regarding EB-2 application, which is more likely to be approved (or faster), the Master's equivalency (BS graduate to be evaluated in a university to be master's equivalent) OR the 5 years progressive experience? There's only one Occupational Therapist that I know personally who was approved and it was through the Master's equivalency (she didn't even have 5 years experience). Also, would it rely/depend on the employer's capability to support documents or does it also depend on how meticulous the lawyer is with the details to be submitted in the USCIS?
It all begins with the lawyers. So, make sure your counsel are meticulous and plan for every possible eventuality they can think of. The job HAS to be described truthfully.
If somebody is without status in U.S.A can the person apply for investment visa?
Yes, of course. Especially when you are going through a regional investment center.
I have just received my BSN and I'm currently awaiting certification from California. Will actively look for job once certification is approved. Have F-1 visa and just received OPT for a year. Can I qualify for "green card for nurses" after OPT period is over if already in country and having matriculated in the US? Any other recourse for permanency?
You will have several years of wait in the green card process.
Mr. Khanna gives clear, useful advice. I have consulted on the phone twice, and on both occasions was very satisfied and very happy.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a final rule in Federal Register that establishes a Transitional Worker (CW) classification for workers in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). The CW classification allows employers in the CNMI to hire nonimmigrant workers who are otherwise ineligible to work.
In response to my rather urgent queries submitted online, Mr. Khanna offered me a free phone consultation. He articulated his advice in a manner that provided a clear understanding of the general (ideal) approach to immigration through marriage and then shared his professional opinion on my case in particular. I appreciated his straightforward approach and willingness to share his opinion on cases that warrant the need for legal counsel. I would highly recommend Mr. Khanna to friends and colleagues in need of immigration-related counsel.
