I was really excited when I heard from Amrita that my labor certification has been approved so quickly. I would like to thank Mr. Khanna and his staff for their dedicated support in this regards. I am expecting the same level of support from you for the rest of green card process.
My GC was approved in less than two years through The Law Office of Rajiv S. Khanna. I got very quick response from the firm for any kind of questions related to my case. I highly recommend them.
My problems were solved through your office. Thank you very much.
Thanks Sushila. You did a wonderful job in filing the labor.
I received my GC within 3 years in EB3. All credit goes to Rajiv and his wonderful team.
This was my second attempt to file GC. (My first attempt got screwed up because of lawyer.) Second time I've insisted to go with Rajiv Khanna. My experience was wonderful. Rajiv, Suman, Mathew, Richa....they all did a great job. They are always responsive and available. I feel like I was dealing with friends.
I highly recommend Rajiv Khanna's firm.
Excellent service by Rajiv and his team:
My husband and I got our GC approved recently. It took us almost 5 years to complete our GC process from start to end. Rajiv and his entire team have been very responsive in answering any of my questions through out the process. Special thanks to Rajiv and Mathew for answering all my questions in the last 5 years. I would definitely recommend their services to any one that is looking for an Immigration lawyer.
Keep the good work going.
Thank you.
Thanks for your service. Myself and my spouse I-485 approved after nearly 4 years. I really appreciate Rajiv, Mathew and Jitesh for your help during I-140 denial, prompt returning telephone calls and emails. Never had problem to contact Rajiv to clear doubts about I-140 denial. Thanks again to Jitesh and Mathew to set up conference call with Rajiv to answer my questions.
I cannot thank enough the Law Office of Rajiv S Khanna and my direct contact in this case Anna Baker for doing such a wonderful job in getting me approved for H1B classification within such a short period of time. Anna Baker has been a tremendous help with regard to the case and especially getting back to me on answering my questions at her earliest. Fee is very reasonable for the service I was provided. I would definitely recommend for any immigration issues and I myself look forward to taking care of my future immigration issues with the Law Office of Rajiv S. Khanna.
Anna Baker Great Job. I am very pleased.!!!
Very efficient, helpful and personal services. The process was made easier thanks to the professional staff. Thank You very much. I highly recommend their services.
My labor certification was done without any problem and the guidance I am getting for filing I-140,I-485 for me and my family members is excellent and I shall be grateful to Mr.Khanna and his team
There is no question that there might be a large number of good Attorneys around but Mr. Khanna and his superb team can provide what only a few can. That is honesty, excellent advise, easy accessibility to him and the rest of the team, fast work and over all results. I had experience with few attorneys and I can say without a doubt that he is the one and there is no need to look around. If you are looking for quality here it is.
I think you guys are bunch high quality legal experts on immigration. Thanks for your good works.
The service provided by your firm was excellent. Ms. Homa Naderi in particular was extremely hopeful and responded to my queries within an hour. Mr. Khanna too was easily approachable and provided excellent advise.
I am surprised and at the same time very happy to learn about the immediate processing of my LCA by the SESA (It took just one day to be precise.) I give full credit to Ms. Subha at Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna for this as she so carefully prepared my application form that the State labor department had no problems with it.
It has been a great experience working with your firm towards my green card process.
Team is very professional, very knowledgeable and experienced in the immigration process. Team has a check list on every step in the process. Team is very prompt in responding to the emails and to the calls. Team will never submit without checking the documents properly. All my approvals at every stage are without any RFE's. They are always on time in submitting the documents.
A special thanks to Richa Narang, Prerna Mehta, Bharathi Gajjala and great attorney Rajiv Khanna.
