I have a question regarding the impact of the recent Executive Order on my parents' greencard application, which is currently underway. I’m a US citizen (India-born, recvd greencard via EB category) and have sponsored the greencard application for my parents, who live in India, via consular processing.

Does the EO impact their case, or given it’s already in-progress (past I-130 approval), will it continue unaffected?

Thanks to Leila and Shivane for the wonderful work and prompt response to all the requests.
Joy, Charu, Rena, Ursula and the rest were very patient in answering any questions I had.
Joy was handling my case and she is really good. These guys are the best.
I have had several years of experience dealing with incompetent and certainly less informed immigration lawyers than myself. Changing to Mr. Khanna's office was probably one of most sensible things I've done. He and his staff are well informed, knowledgeable, respond very promptly to questions and provided me with a level of service that I would expect from an expert in the field of immigration law.
Your service is one of the best.
We take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Rajiv S. Khanna & his wonderful staff for working on our Employment Based Green Card processing.
Our Green Cards are approved on Jun 21, 2004 (Both mine & my wife's cases approved). Rajiv's office had shown excellent professional quality and was keen on keeping warm client relationship throughout the GC processing. The service was always courteous, professional and prompt. They were very prompt in responding to Service Center as well as responding to our queries. Any time I was able to contact the staff and they have given us a feeling that we are talking to some of our friends. They were really prompt in answering either by email or phone. We would like to thank Leila, Dian, Suman, Pooja & Mathew for their great job done for us. I will definitely recommend the Law firm of Rajiv S. Khanna to my friends and whoever ask for an opinion.
We wish all the best to Rajiv and his staff for their current efforts to make the GC processing more efficient from Govt.'s side. May God bless you All.
