Excellent service from Rajiv Khanna's team members ... Thank you JJ
Dear Rajiv I am very much delighted to say that I received my Employment based permanent residency status last week. Hats off to you and your excellent team for having done this for me within 19 months. I never ever dreamed that I would get this status within such a short time. Throughout this period I never had a feeling that your office is somewhere hundreds of miles away as I got all the work done electronically within minutes, which would not have been possible even if I had an Attorney’s office in my neighborhood. I highly appreciate the excellent work, responsibility and the best & fastest communication delivered by you & your team. Also, kindly accept our heartfelt thanks for maintaining such a wonderful web site IMMIGRATION.COM, which is the best site I ever used to obtain real immigration related experiences & information. Please convey my wishes and thanks to Subha, Shivane, Leila and all others who did a splendid job related to my Green card and Sirisha, Charu & Rena related to my H1B renewal. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR TEAM. Thanks again. MT
My family members and I have completed stamping at Chicago, IL. I am really glad that I chose Rajiv’s law firm for our GC processing. I have got all the help and support from Mr.Khanna’s law offices for my GC processing. The whole process went very well at every stage. I appreciate Mr.Khanna and his team for their expertise and perfect paper work. Thanks to Mr. Khanna and Suman ji for responding to many of my emails during the process. I would also like to thank Diane Lombardo, Leila Lehman, Shivani Sharma and other staff members for their professionalism and promptness.
Excellent work done by team members in pleasantly, promptly and efficiently processing the H1B transfer for a new employee.
I am extremely pleased with the services provided by Mr. Rajiv Khanna and his extraordinary team in getting our Permanent Residence approval successfully. From the beginning, my case was reviewed (I started my process at around 3.5 years in to my H1 term) and I was given proper guidance to obtain the PR before my H1 expired. They were always there when we needed them. They paid personal attention to the various special requirements in handling my case at different phases of the whole process. Special thanks to Suman, Shivane, Subha and Leila for their undivided and prompt attention at different stages. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. I would also like to thank you and the contributors to the Forum which provided me with many useful information.
My wife and I got our Passports stamped in Orlando, FL after less than 2 years of process. The whole GC process through with Rajiv S. Khanna as our attorney and his office was a wonderful experience. With Mr Khanna's guidance we haven't had any problem during the whole process. This saved us a lot of time, I know it because I have seen people who started their process long before me but they haven't got their green card I would like to thank all of his team members, especiallly Suman and Leila. In particular, I would like to mention their proffesionallism, concern,understanding and patience. They have retuened my emails and calls promtly Rajiv and his staff made the whole process very easy, simple and painless. I would recommend him to everyone who needs help and a great expert on immigration issues
Excellent firm to work with. Special thanks to Ursula and Charu.
This is a very good firm to work with, Everyone especially the person who worked with me was very helpful in clearing all my question and she was very prompt in replying also. I troubled them with lots of silly questions but they answered all my questions patiently. Thank You Rajiv & your team!!!
USCIS has revised Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status and will publish the revised form on the website on March 11, 2019. Starting on March 11, 2019, USCIS will only accept the revised Form I-539 with an edition date of 02/04/19.
We filed a Form I-140 petition for a professional cricketer in the EB1A category. This immigration preference category is for foreign nationals of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics. After receiving an RFE questioning the applicant’s eligibility, we responded with documentation evidencing that the applicant has a level of expertise indicating that he is one of that small percentage who have risen to the very top of the field of endeavor.
Our client received a request for evidence, questioning its ability to pay all beneficiaries it petitioned for. We reviewed the company’s tax returns and other relevant financials, and demonstrated to USCIS that the unique totality of circumstances of this particular employer warranted approval.
Me and my wife would like to thank Rajiv, Diane and the rest of the team involved for the meticulous work done. In today's scenario, willingness to take up my case and delivering nothing but positive results, we feel extremely humbled and grateful. My employment based green card process once transferred to Rajiv and team went very smooth and quick . It just took about a year and a half from process initiation to green card in hand.
Special shout out to Diane for taking our calls and queries and calming us down at all times.
Highly professional team, who genuinely care. Highly recommend this team for your immigration needs.
Applicant sought out our firm after receiving a misrepresentation finding against him at the consulate for visa stamping. We reviewed his file and were unable to ascertain any factual basis for the fraud/misrepresentation finding. We began directly corresponding with the consulate, and requested information from various government agencies In addition, we consulted with The Office of Visa Services (Visa Office) within the Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs .
USCIS recently updated the following USCIS form(s):
Topics of Discussion: Reentry permit|| OPT STEM extension|| I-485 RFE and EAD Card|| F2A priority date and filing I-485|| Apply for COS to F-1 visa|| Convert to O1 visa and then to GC|| Passport Impounded in INDIA: H1B Visa status invalid?
USCIS will resume premium processing on Tuesday, March 12, for all H-1B petitions. If you received a request for evidence (RFE) for a pending petition, you should include the RFE response with the premium processing request.
My previous employer deducted half of my monthly salary and put deduction under loan in salary sleep. I never took any loan from him or never signed any document. Previously he asked me to pay all H1b expenses in email which i refused and seems like he has deducted amount as retaliation of my resignation. Can he take bonus back as loan(deduction he mentioned in salary slip as loan) from my salary which was given to me in 2016 and 2017? if he can then I don't have anything to claim.What are my legal options considering I never took any loans? is it worth fighting him considering my H1b status and can he harm me with my status or application (which he intend to do as he said in 1 to 1 meeting) ?

Rajiv S. Khanna, managing attorney at Immigration.com told TOI: “Anecdotally, from our own clients, we see difficulty in hiring qualified people in STEM professions. Several of our clients have opened offices in Canada, simply because US immigration policies are implemented by the current administration inconsistently, creating maximal difficulty, often beyond the boundaries of the permissible laws.” “We can see no rationale for any change in policy making it more difficult for US trained students to remain in the USA and for US businesses to hire and retain qualified people,” he adds.
Simple, smart changes to make the H-1B visa program work better
I recently got my Green Card. I'm planning to look for a part time job in addition to my full time job to make some extra money. Is it Legal to do this on Green Card without breaking any laws ?

For employees who are coming from outside the United States, even though the premium processing will begin in June, it offers a great deal of comfort in knowing where a case stands. If the application is denied, which is quite common these days, there will be enough time to appeal or litigate it before the October 1 start date,” Rajiv S Khanna, managing attorney at Immigration.com told TOI.
I was planning on going to India for vacation (after I graduate, before I start work) and I had some questions about whether that would be alright from an immigration stand point. My lawyers are filing my H1B visa application this April; would there be any potential issues with the application if I was to leave the US in May/June?
There are multiple issues involved in traveling.
First, if someone travels while a change of status request is pending, they will have to obtain a visa stamping or reapply for an H-1B for change of status to activate the H-1B on or after October 1.
Second, getting visa stamping is by itself a highly uncertain process that could take from days to months. The consulates reopen and dissect the entire H-1B case from the ground up and try to find any reason they can to deny the case.

We had reached out to Rajiv S Khanna's law offices on a recommendation from a friend to help us with filing a green card for our parents. From the initial conversation till after the GC approval, their offices have been extremely informative, responsive and professional. They went out of their way in making us comfortable, patiently responded to all our queries and guided us through the entire process. We are happy to say that the GC card was approved in the first go with no issues and thanks largely to the excellent up front preparation of the case/documentation. We would gladly recommend their services to anyone looking for immigration help. Heather Riddick, who helped us through the entire process was excellent to work with. Thanks again to Rajiv S Khanna and team for successfully guiding us through this process.
ajiv Khanna and his team were very prompt in the my GC application. They are knowledgeable; and Rajiv especially is very supportive, thoughtful, prompt and up-to-date. I am pleased to unhesitatingly recommend their services to my friends intending to start the process.
