“An out-of-status scenario, for the H-1B visa holder and his or her dependents (such as spouse and children) would mean a three-to-ten-year bar from re-entering the country. The mechanism to redress an H-1B denial (including that of a transfer) is also highly inefficient,” said Rajiv S Khanna, managing attorney at Immigration.com.
The work done by Rajiv Khanna and his team is awesome. The para legal is always prompt in her replies to my queries. I got my labor certification approval for GC in 30 days. I am still unable to believe that I have received it .
As I got my approval/551 stamp this week, I thought it would be best to share some experience to help others; This may be applicable in Texas and
Atlanta, so read with caution and use accordingly.
Texas SC
485 rcpt date 2/2002
FP done 4/2003
Approved 5/2004
My online status never changed, except when approved (No change during FP etc). This may help some who are worried like me when online status never changed.
Law offices of Rajiv Khanna is very professional in their job. They will make sure to serve you the best and they make sure that you get all the possible help.
I have always had good experience with them hence all the immigration services from my office have been moved to Rajiv Khanna. The staff is prompt, responsive and very helpful and so is Rajiv himself. He takes personal interest and explains things easily.
And I also would like to mention the www.immigrationportal.com forum from Rajiv Khanna, which is an excellent service.
My personal thanks to Rajiv for the services and efforts he is making for the immigration community and his fight to make things right.
I would strongly recommend Rajiv and his law firm.
I can depend on them.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Sundip.
