Please see the attached memorandum released by the USCIS on Dec 10,09.
As of December 15, 2009, approximately 64,200 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved sufficient H-1B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H-1B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H-1B cap of 65,000.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2010. USCIS is hereby notifying the public that Dec. 21, 2009 is the “final receipt date” for new H-1B specialty occupation petitions requesting an employment start date in FY 2010.
I hired the services of Mr. Rajiv Khanna's law firm after a so-called big shot immigration attorney here in Dallas proved to me that his incompetence & sheer lack of knowledge came at an exorbitant price. Being a perfectionist by nature, I decided not to go in to the H1 process with that conman and chose to go with Mr Khanna's law firm instead after thorough research. Can easily say that it was one of those decisions for which u pat yourself on the back. The sheer promptness, professionalism and clockwork precision exhibited by Anna Baker, Rena Waddell & Charu Bhagat was exemplary. At the same time, they were very patient with my constant complex queries. I never felt a lack of warmth in my interaction with them, which is pretty uncommon otherwise, especially when it comes to law firms. The processing & paperwork was super-quick and the ball was always rolling. It was hardly any time after my case was filed that I got a call one morning informing me of my approval. And to think that I have never even seen or met any of these wonderful people. One word to describe these guys. Brilliant.
Hi Rajiv, I just wanted to take this opportunity to complement you and your highly skilled team of lawyers on doing such a fantastic job of helping so many people out there who don't have enough understanding of US laws. You guys are not only knowledgeable but also EXTREMELY courteous and willing to help to all of us. I would specifically like to mention Leila M. and Hanna Baker, as the two individuals, I had an opportunity to talk to, and both of them were really helping and understanding. I can't thank them enough for providing the MOST accurate advice which helped me a lot and that too without expecting anything in return which makes it even more noble. Please keep up the good work.
Thanks.
Thanks to Chary Bhagat and Rena Wadell for a job well done. Extremely helpful, diligent and patient!!!
Hope to do many more cases through immigration.com
I welcome this opportunity to thank the Law Office of Rajiv S Khanna and especially my direct contact Ms. Rena Waddell for her valuable time and the terrific job she has performed in getting me approved for the H1B within such a short period of time. The sheer promptness, professionalism and clockwork precision exhibited by Ms. Rena Waddell was excellent. The processing & paperwork was very prompt and it was hardly any time after my case was filed that I got a call from Ms. Waddell informing me of my approval.
Thanks once again Rena and expect to receive the same kind of treatment and professionalism from your office in future.
Work: H-1B Visa Petitions Can you contact me as a Reference: YES! Comments: Anna Baker and Fran Fisher have helped a number of my employees obtain H-1B Visas as well as file for extensions of existing H-1B Visas, with a 100% success rate! I believe we've now succesfully filed 10(at least) Visa petitions and extensions with them, and they've made the process incredibly easy for me. Even during the stressfull times of having to respond to RFE's, they always manage to successfully guide me through the process and ensure approvals. And while my knowledge of the immigration and H-1B petitioning process is minimal, to say the least, they always thoroughly explain everything to me, no matter how silly my questions are. They promptly respond to my emails on a daily basis and are incredibly professional from start to finish. No matter how many curveballs I throw their way; whether it's telling them someone's Visa expires in 3 weeks and we need to file for an extension immediately, or if we're missing a critical document requested by USCIS, they ALWAYS have a solution that ultimately results in an approval. I cannot recommend their team highly enough, and my employees cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work in ensuring their ability to live and work here in the US. I just hope Rajiv gives them plenty of vacation time, because they deserve it :-)
