Mr Khanna and his team were extremely focused and helpful in me getting my GC. They have demostrated extreme dedication, follow up and provided quality service when mattered. Mr. Khanna was available to me personally when I had to talk to him. I couldn't be more happier for employing the immigration services of Mr. Khanna. They know the importance of their service and commitment and they realize that it can make or break lives.

My wife and I received our GC within 30 months for the whole process with Rajiv S. Khanna as our attorney. Rajiv's team helped us at every point in the whole process. We never get any problem or incompletion about the paperwork done under his guidance, which has been perfect. Perfect paperwork reduces the total time of this lengthy process. We are greatly thankful to Diane Lombardo, who is always available and is happy to responds calmly and peacefully. Also many, many thanks to Diane, Subha, Vijay, Leila, Suman, Lakshmi, Shivani and other staff members who are very co-operative and would return calls & e-mails promptly. In short Rajiv and his staff made the whole process very smooth. We are greatly pleased with Rajiv and his staff as far as their professionalism, courtesy and promptness regarding my GC. I recommonded Rajiv's firm to lot of my friends. We are thankful to Rajiv and his staff.
