ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC LEGAL SERVICES!!!It's with heartfelt appreciation and gratitude that I want to express my Thanks to the Staff of Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, especially to Ms. Charu Bhagat, Ms. Reena Wadel and Ms. Sirisha Durgam for the patience with which they worked my very complicated case. I was basically in an out-of-status mode in the US for a long time with my past employment and it was a big question as to whether I would get my Visa transfer approved. Thanks to the ABSOLUTELY METICULOUS preparation of documents and the constant communication between INS and Rajiv S. Khanna's Office that amde it happen. The only thing that I would STRONGLY reccomend anyone that has the privilege of getting help from Rajiv S. Khanna's Office is...1. Be Patient and WORK (really, without question) with the lawyers who are handling your case.2. PROVIDE every bit of documentation asked for and be very PROMPT with it.3. Respect their effort in helping you and do not be impatient.Ms. Sirisha, Ms. Charu and Ms. Reena were three of the most friendly and helpful persons. Thank you so much!!Aravinth Kaliappan
It was a very pleasant experience working with the Law Offices. I would like to make a special reference to the person I worked with who kept me informed on each step during the process removing any anxiety - I did get prompt responses on all queries and she returned every call, that was amazing. I look forward to working with this team again when I apply for my Green Card.Thank and appreciate all your efforts.
Rajiv Khanna and the people at his office did a very good job in processing my Green card. All of the people(Leila Lehman, Shivane Sharma,and others), I used to contact were very knowledgable. It has been a nice experience! Thanks and keep up your good work!
I just got my GC approved through the Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna. Over the last four years I had a very good experience with all the professionals who handled my case at your offices. After so many years waiting at the labor certification stage (PBEC story), they helped me to put together the I-140/485 application, with timely and to-the-point responses to my questions along the way, is a short time. As a result, my application got approved within a couple of months way before my expected timeline. Many thanks to Richa, Amrita (LC stage) and Mathew, Rita (I-140/485) for a job well done. Keep up the good work.
For the second time in a row, Mr. Rajiv's office impresses me. This time they got my I140 approved in 7 days, Yes 7 days. This time Suman and Tarun have done superb job as Amrita and Seema done in my PERM. These people are very meticulous. They review the file multiple times. Finally, I repeat my pledge to you, if you got problems with your lawyer or if you are out to choose a law firm, Go with Rajiv's office. Every Penny you spend here is well spent. Thanks all Emad
Thanks to the firm and Mr.Jitesh who did excellent work in replying to the RFE for I-140.
This law firm did good job in replying to RFE that I got while processing I-140.Timely tip off and good documentation work.
Thanks for the help
Mr. Rajiv Khanna gave the best advice for me. Thank you Mr. Khanna.
I'd like to use this opportunity to thank both Mathew and Tarun for their great job in preparing my I-485 case. Especially Tarun, who helped me a lot during the process. I understand that most of your clients put their comments after their cases got approved. But I'm so impressed by him, I'd like to thank him before we even file the case!! Tarun is very prompt in response, very helpful and very patient. I'm very happy that your office hired such a wonderful person. -- Best regards
Thanks to Jitesh, my law suit against USCIS was successful and my GC application is finally approved. I am very happy with his service.

I got my all the approvals for different documents in very decent time frame which reflected the professional excellence of all the people working as team.
Thank you to Mathew,Richa,Aruna and Kumuda for your coordination and support.

Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv in the article:
The challenge to the validity of H-4 EAD program was dismissed by court. #immigration #H4EAD
Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. Exchange visitor (J) visas are nonimmigrant visas for individuals approved to participate in exchange visitor programs in the United States.
Release Date
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is issuing policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual to clarify the types of venues USCIS may use for administrative naturalization ceremonies.
My sister is in India and the prospective groom is a US citizen. They have concerns about how to proceed with marriage and relocation of the girl to US in a timely manner (prefer not to wait more than a year for marriage/ living together post-marriage for personal reasons) Current fiancé visa processing time seems to be 15 months. It was not this long pre-covid, realistically can this processing time reduce this year? If they do marriage in India first, what’s the quickest way for her to come to US and how long would it take She has a valid B1. Can she travel on that to US post-marriage for 5-6 months only without any risk to her green card application? She is trying to get an L1-B visa through her current company. Will that visa approval be affected if they get married in the meanwhile? In short, what is the quickest path for her marriage & relocation to the US right now?
She can travel with a B-1 visa as long as she tells the truth. L-1 and H-1B visas are the quickest paths.
I got my H1B visa approval recently and I have got my stamping date in May. My company is going through a bad phase financially and has had 2 layoffs (might do another layoff in next few months) I go to India for stamping and get laid off before getting my visa stamped (Can I come back to the US with 60 days left? Can I get my visa stamped if my company pays me for another month or so considering that my last day is a month later? Can I get my visa stamped even if my last day has passed)I go to India for stamping and get laid off after getting my visa stamped (can I come to US and do my job search) If I get laid off while in India but have an offer letter from another company (H1B transfer done/ transfer to be done after returning to US)
This is a pertinent question. I don't think you should go for visa stamping if you have been laid off. If you do go, you should make it clear to the consulate that you have been laid off. However, under the law, you have a 60-day grace period during which you intend to apply for another job. I don't think it's going to work like that. I don't remember the details of the regulation off the top of my head, but I think there might be some restrictions against travel.
An offer letter is not good enough just to get the H-1B approval. Then, I don't think there's a problem with traveling.
Currently working with Employer B since 2020.
Employer A - 140 Approved in 2013. EB2 category.
Employer A - Provided form 485J in Aug and I applied for I485 in Aug. My dates retrogressed to Oct 2011 now.
Employer A - Desi consulting company, we couldn't find a project for me to join them and they withdrew I-140 in Jan. At the time of the I140 withdrawal I485 was at 150 days timeline. Now that 180 days have passed since I485 was filed in Aug, can I provide 485J with my current employer to port the I485 application? Will USCIS approve porting or deny as I140(approved in 2013) was recently withdrawn before I485 reaches the 180 days mark? Is there any way to appeal the withdrawal of I140 as beneficiary with pending AOS or ex-employer can withdraw without any issue? Are there any laws to safeguard the beneficiary when dealing with abusive and mean desi consulting companies?
You should talk to an employment lawyer.
