I am still in the process of getting a green card. During this process I want to change my job from a present one to another one that is more challenging than the present one. Would this in any way affect getting the green card or is it advisable not to shift jobs now?

Good Morning, I am the Founder and Executive Director at Sallie B. Howard School at North Carolina for the past 17 years. I am happy to give the reference and recommendation for the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna.
We have been working with him for past 3 years and the work he has done for us has been excellent. In the past, we have had large number of immigrant teachers here at Sallie B. Howard . We have used various attorney's over the years some are good some not well, some very knowledgeable and some not so very knowledgeable and that resulted in complications and some problems time to time we get through those.
One of our staff members brought Rajiv’s business to our attention. He actually had done some research and found great record, well regarded, highly regarded in the industry and consultant some times for the government. It was really great resume for the office. Even though he was in Washington D.C and we are in North Carolina we took the trip up there to meet with him and to discuss what the service would be for us.
Typically, we do H-1B visas and green card petitions. And so we started out with him and found his services to be well beyond our expectations. More than that, for me I found him to be just stunningly brilliant, when it comes to the immigration laws and processes. We have had over the time pretty difficult cases that teacher had given upon and we all said wow! This is the shot in the dark to see if we can clean this part or clear this up and get the net result. But Rajiv's folks were very confident and they always tell you exactly what you can expect. They don't promise something that they can't deliver and they have been able to help us in every single case for past three years.
So, I highly recommend his company - they are people of integrity and they tell you exactly what to expect and we were pleased with their services. There are several characteristics of the service that we get from this company that I want to point out. One is that timeliness and the responsiveness to our applications and to the conversations if we have to consult then they get right back to us but more than that meticulousness in which they do their work.
Everything is checked and double checked and nothing is submitted with errors and mistakes as we have experienced that many times in the past with other attorney's. I don't know if they are not as careful as they need to be sometimes or what happens. In the case of Rajiv's team they check and double check, they are careful. I don't think we ever had any application which returned or denied because of some error, even the telephone number everything is exactly the way it supposed to be and that means everything in this particular business when you are working with Federal government.
The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) conducts administrative review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers’ decisions regarding immigration benefit requests in order to promote consistency and accuracy in the interpretation of immigration law and policy. We have appellate jurisdiction over approximately fifty different types of immigration applications and petitions.
The AAO Practice Manual describes rules, procedures, and recommendations for practice before the AAO. It is organized into seven chapters, including:
I am glad that i chose Rajiv Khanna for my GC. These guys are just incredible. Special thanks to Amrita for making the PERM process as smooth as possible. Its been a pleasure so far to work with Rajiv's team and i am confident that it will be.
I would like to thank Ms Amrita for her patience and professionalism in preparing all the necessary paper work for my PERM application. She is very diligent and explained carefully what my employer had to do for the application. Thank you for the excellent work.

First of all thanks and Kudos goes to 'Subha Chennubhotla': my Case Manager; who made this first step successful. My labor got certified less than 3 months. She did make sure all the paper works was done properly and checked with me several times before the filing.

Video Testimonial, Reza Zarafshar, President, Advanced Computer Concepts
Advanced Computer Concepts (ACC) is an IT solutions provider and we have been established in Northern Virginia right outside the Washington DC for the past 30 years. When we cannot find talent in the US we depend on talent and expertise available overseas. A few years ago we needed to hire networking engineering talent from outside United States. A friend of mine whose company had done a lot of hiring in this area recommended Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna to me.
That year we hired two very capable network engineers outside the United States using the H-1B visa programe. The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna handled these H-1B cases for ACC. Since then in addition to H-1B they have handled permanent residency application for a few of our employees. They have also given us very valuable advice on many immigration matters.
We at ACC are very pleased with the work Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna have done for us. They are very thorough and meticulous and properly handling and completing the applications so that the applications could process in expedite manner without any problems. They have always been very prompt in answering our questions and do an excellent job of documenting the progress of each case.
I would recommend Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna for others looking for a US immigration attorney. Rajiv Khanna is a very knowledgeable immigration attorney. He is an expert in his field. His firm has a very high success rate and is very precise and thorough in filing the applications. Their fees are reasonable and they are easily accessible. I have interacted with them via email and phone calls many times. They have always been very prompt responsive and accurate and treat us as a client very well.
