Mr.Khanna is very knowledgable with his work,very humble,least arrogant, never panics us. He studies the case and sees the facts we give and gives us an honest review of our situation.I have seen other lawyers right from the day we landed in the country who keep us in the dark,get the work done for the moment- we are not known of the implications as we are just as new to everything legal. Our lives and existence in the US depends on immigration status and we cannot afford to risk it Thanks again Mr.Khanna !

Mr Khanna, Once again, your humble nature along with your intellegence / vast knowledge and experience sets you apart from other immigration lawyers! Thank You!
I have worked with Mr. Khanna' Law Firm for over 12 years now, in many ways, either through having my questions answered (when I was still a student), to getting my work visa done, or most recently, for visitor' visa inquiries / clarifications. Mr. Khanna and his team, have ALWAYS provided me with their valuable time and advice very graciously. Their 15 minutes of a conference call time to answer / address a question / issue, mean a lot to people who are on the receiving end. While there are many Lawyers / Attorneys who provide such services to their communities, I hardly know of ANY Law Firm who do so regularly, have done so for many, many years, and will continue to provide such services even in the future, including to those who are NOT their clients. There could be many instances when an individual is not able to pay the consultation fees. If it is not an abuse of his time and a genuine, sincere request has been made, Mr. Khanna and team WILL work out a way to provide those consultation services free of cost. Why so? Because, this is THEIR PASSION, ... to help people in the community. I personally admire this gesture and professionalism.
Very recently, I had specific and some general questions regarding B-2 visa RFE's for my Mother, who has been here under medical and humanitarian grounds, for quite a few years . This being the 2nd RFE that I have received, put me into some worries, questioning the Agency' motives as to why such RFE' after so long when all the required documents were handed to USCIS each time the application/petition was sent for a renewal. Clearly the Agency wants to get a clear picture about my Mother' health condition, and the costs associated with that and who is paying for her support so that she doesn't become a public burden. Her health condition doesn't allow for her to travel and the notion of her separation from me, due of the care that I give to her, makes her physical condition worse. Not to mention, that the most recent economic downturn has put me into some dire situations, conditions to provide for medical support. She did receive state' help for her medical expenses recently. I'm worried for this situation, which I wasn't earlier. It was for this reason, I contacted Mr. Khanna, and he provided me with his valuable answers, the best approach to answer such RFE, and what to do next.
I CANNOT thank Mr. Khanna and his whole team much. It was so nice to have talked with Rena W. after many years, and to know that some of the team members, like Ana B. with whom I had worked earlier, are still there, providing their excellent services.
I was first referred to Mr. Khanna by one of my friends, who also got his work visa and permanent residency done through Mr. Khanna. I can certainly refer anyone, to Mr. Khanna' Immigration Offices, to receive excellent and prompt services, anytime, without any hesitation.
Thank you for all that you do, for the community and its people. My very best wishes.

My application was strong but my interview was weak and I slipped on a question or two. Towards the end of the interview, the asylum officer was very quiet and cold and when I told him that I would send him the document he requested he seemed like he didn't care. Do you think that means he is going to deny my application? How many days did it take for you to get your decision by mail
Hi All,
Sorry for the delay in posting about my experience.
As some of you know, I filed in August 2007 and got stuck in the front-log, and was unable to do my finger prints until December 2007. However, luckily, my interview was scheduled right away for March 2008.
In Buffalo, we do not have same day oath, so I knew going in that I would not be sworn in the same day. I did know however, that I would get the oath notice right away (on the spot) if I passed, because they hold ceremonies every 2 weeks.
COMMENTS: I heard a lot about Rajiv S. Khanna's legal firm through a friend of mine and true to his word, they have proven themselves. Rajiv S. Khanna's firm has been very CONFIDENT, WELL INFORMED, HELPFUL AND PROMPT throughout the case. ABOUT MY CASE: I work for a Software company (around 300 employees) with branches throughout the world. I had to go to India for 1-2 years to train our off-shore team and streamline processes for handling US Clients. I already had a GC for about 2 years. I was worried about my stay out of US as it would hinder US Citizenship processing. N-470 seemed to be the best approach (as it would treat my stay out of US for business/employment purpose, as if I was in US). For e.g., Without N-470: Apart from other requirements for Citizenship, following must be fulfilled. . Has been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the previous five years (absences of more than six months but less than one year shall disrupt the applicant's continuity of residence unless the applicant can establish that he or she did not abandon his or her residence during such period) has resided within a state or district for at least three months. With N-470: If you live outside US for about 2 years on business/employment purpose, then these 2 years are counted as residing in US as long as we abide to the rules for N-470. The entire process took about a year (ie. time between submitting N-470 and getting the approved N-470 via mail) Some of the requirements are: 1. Must be on GC for at least 1 year with continuous residency in US (without any absences from US for 1 year). 2. Must apply for N-470 before leaving the country. 3. Must have a valid reason and supporting documents to show that your company is sending you to its sister company for the purpose of business improvement. 4. Apply for I-131 (Re-entry permit) before leaving from US on your assignment. Rajiv's staff has been very helpful and has all the information on how to apply for N-470. They even provided counseling to help me understand the requirements and if I qualify for N-470 before taking up my case. Good Luck...
Thanks a lot to Law Offices Of Rajiv S Khanna for doing an excellent job to get my H1 and my wife's H4 renewed. My case was a little complicated and my employer has very little knowledge about the whole process, but Rena and Anna did an outstanding job in preparing the job description letter and coordinating with my employer. They are both extremely polite and patient and are very prompt in responding to emails/phone calls.
Thanks a lot to both Rena and Anna for all their help and special thanks to Rajiv for his expert advice.
I am glad i Chose "Law Offices Of Rajiv S Khanna"!
My experience with Mr. Rajiv Khanna's Law office has been excellent so far. I have received my Labour and I-140 within a year inspite of getting an RFE (which was handled very well).
We have applied our I-140 and 485 petitions through Rajiv's law office. We received our GC approvals the other day.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr.Rajiv Khanna and his team.
My Special thanks to Mathew Chacko, Prerna Mehta and Suman Bhasin for their help and attention with all of our GC related matters.
Since day1 we have received exceptional service. Their staff is easily approachable.
I would also like to thank Rajiv Khanna for the great service he provides for the immigrant community through his Live chats.
The attorney fees are reasonable for the valuable service they provide compared to other noted firms.
Looking forward to recommend your law firm to my friends and family.
I would like to thank Mr.Rajiv and his team (especially Anna Baker and Fran Fischer) for getting my H1B transfer with extension. It may sound simple but both my I-94 and Visa were expired for more than 240 days and my extension with the previous employer was pending with USCIS for almost 9 months. We were really impressed with the way the case was prepared and presented to the USCIS. Anna Baker and Fran Fisher was very supportive during the entire process and answering even the simplest of questions promptly. I was surprised one evening when Anna called me at 7:30 PM to discuss about the case. That shows the level of professionalism by LORK's team. I would recommend LORK for all immigration needs.

We thank you very much Mr. Rajiv Khanna, for providing us by far the best advisement on our case. Your suggested course of action turned out to be the winner since it comprehensively favored us. So we would like to take this opportunity to convey our appreciations for your meticulous judgment and astute advisement on our case.
We believe that people, who engaged services of Mr. Khanna's law firm for their immigration matters have certainly made one of the best choices in their lives. Also we would strongly recommend hiring Law Offices of Mr. Rajiv S Khanna, if anyone can choose to pick and is on the look out for a reputable Law firm to handle his/her immigration needs. Rest assured you can’t go wrong with that decision. In fact your case will be dealt with utmost trust and care by this firm that you won’t worry about anything ever again. Surely, you will agree that such a feeling is priceless.
Mr. Khanna and his staff constantly keep abreast of all the changes that are taking place in immigration law on daily basis is another reason why one should trust them completely.
Rajiv Khanna and associates are helping me in my Green Card processing since January 2004 and recently they did a very good job to get me the I-140 approval. I received an RFE on my I-140 in Feb 09 and response was well prepared by one of the Lawyers and sent within a weeks time. I got the approval on my I-140 just after a weeks time. It was a great job and effort from the Rajiv Khanna's office and their associates. I appreciate their good work and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good immigration lawyer for their Green Card or any other immigration related work.
Just wanted to update everyone and say we had our interview this morning, scheduled for 8 AM in Atlanta. We got there at 7.55, checked in at 7.59 and were called at 8.02. Interview was all done in 10 minutes and we were out of the building at 8.15.
I had a brief telephonic consultation and Resume review with Mr. Khanna. He seems like very through and knowledgable attorney. He provided me right information and suggestion as what should be the next step to follow and in which category my GC petition has more chances to get approved. This is all within 15 mins of consultation and that too with no charge/fee. I would strongly recommend him and his firm. - Pallav
