I just got my H-1B renewed for a 7th Year through the Law offices of Rajiv S. Khanna. Rajiv, with whom, I had been corresponding on various issues pertaining to my greencard, H-1B, etc., is always accessible and extremely helpful. He is extremely prompt in responding to the email--usually in a few hours and sometimes almost instantaneous. His promptness had always helped to ease the anxiety levels. I will be always be grateful for that, THANK YOU RAJIV. I also would like to thank Richa Narang, Shivane Sharma for their work and time on my GC case. And, Anna Baker and Charu Bhagat for their time and work on my H-1B 7th Year extension. I had countless conversations with Richa, Shivane, and Anna. They are not only diligent and professional in the work they do, but more importantly all the three have a great human trait: EMPATHY. They are prompt in responding to emails and in keeping me informed of the status. My sincere thanks to all of you and keep up the good work. I have already recommended Law offices of Rajiv S. Khanna to several of my friends. And many are now his clients.
Rajiv S. Khanna's office was very thorough, professional, and most importantly responsive. We worked with Rena Waddell. She was very easy to work with and knowledgeable. We will definitely use this office for any other immigration issues. Elyse Lazerwitz
I would be glad to recommend Rajiv S. Khanna's law office to anyone, without any hesitation. I have successfully got approval of new H1B visa (premium processing) in a week and services provided by Rena Waddell is excellent, quick and very professional. One of the major benefit is that they exploit the past experiences through expertise of various attorneys working within firm which could reduce chances of RFE/queries from USCIS dramatically and saves time. Thank you.
One word - SUPER! They are super. It is my second time of having a very pleasant experience with these people. Everything is very professional. Their services are worth every red penny!
My H1B visa application was recently approved and the entire process with the Rajiv Khanna's Law firm was a pleasant and no-stress experience. The team was very professional and I really appreciate the prompt, friendly, to-the point approach of Ms Rena Waddell. She really gave me tips on how to fill out all the long explanations one has to give while filling out the application.She was very helpful overall.It really saved me a lot of headache and everything went smoothly. Wishing you guys the best of luck and keep up the good work. Given the present scenario regarding the H1 application process, this was a welcome experience.
I could not have got a better service with any other law offices. I had no problem and the advice I got was always timely, precise and correct. I had recommended my friends and family and they always got great advice from Mr. Khanna.Everybody in the office is always approachable and helpful. I still visit immigration.com regularly for various reasons and the effort that goes into keeping it up to date is really appreciated.
The Law Offices Of Rajiv Khanna was very efficient in processing my H1-B application, especially Rena Waddell my case manager was prompt and handled my case carefully, she always kept me updated on my case. Lastly they made my case approved in 2 months with normal processing which usually takes 4-6 months these days. I would highly recommend immigration.com.
USCIS released the January 26, 2010 National Stakeholders Meeting Questions and Answers.
I am currently in the U.S. on an L-1 visa. My fiance is Hungarian and currently visiting me on a tourist visa. My L-1 was issued in Tokyo, Japan. Can we get married in the U.S. and get her an L-2 visa without her having to leave.
My fiance's mother wants to visit him , but his income tax for 2009 not enough to sponsor his mother. Can I put my income tax to co-sign to let his mother get the visa visit US ? If its work how much my income should be that would qualify with the situation ? ( i'm a single mom with 2 kids).
Whats the relevance or importance of having continuous pay stubs (How much gap is permissible if Not significant?) in the processing of Green card of an H1B holder.
Continued payments are required by law for H-1 holder, unless they come under some very limited exceptions for leave for employee's personal reasons. Not paying, exposes the employer to investigation and penalties and may place the employee out of status.
In the green card context, non-payment can lead to problems with demonstrating ability to pay wages.
For both H-1 and GC, nonpayment can lead to an assumption that no genuine job exists. That could lead to cancellation of one or both processes, except for situations where AC21 portability is involved.
Work Done: J1 transfer, H1 and 485-finally approval of Green Card.I started working with Mr khanna's office for transferring my J1 waiver job from one state to another. His team has been extremely professional and helpful in the process. They have been helpful not only in transfer but also succesfully filing and getting my Green Card approved. I strongly recommend Rajiv's office to anyone with immigration issues. At every level I noticed special attention and exemplary professional standards that one seldom sees in todays world.I would like to thank all of your team members. Specifically Rena Waddell, Anna Baker, Heather Crump, Mark Riddick and of course Rajiv Khanna himself......
Once again Thank your such a wonderful teamwork and unique expertise provided by Rajiv in my case.
Regards...

Hi: I would like to thank Mr. Rajiv Khanna for giving me and my employer some guidance on my case. The conference call with him was well worth the time and the money - his staff was very professional in setting it up and during the call he was very helpful and was not at all rushed. What I liked was even though we ran onto the next appointment's time he asked us to jump back in the call after sometime to make sure all our queries were answered. Thank You Again.
