Good Morning, I am the Founder and Executive Director at Sallie B. Howard School at North Carolina for the past 17 years. I am happy to give the reference and recommendation for the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna.
We have been working with him for past 3 years and the work he has done for us has been excellent. In the past, we have had large number of immigrant teachers here at Sallie B. Howard . We have used various attorney's over the years some are good some not well, some very knowledgeable and some not so very knowledgeable and that resulted in complications and some problems time to time we get through those.
One of our staff members brought Rajiv’s business to our attention. He actually had done some research and found great record, well regarded, highly regarded in the industry and consultant some times for the government. It was really great resume for the office. Even though he was in Washington D.C and we are in North Carolina we took the trip up there to meet with him and to discuss what the service would be for us.
Typically, we do H-1B visas and green card petitions. And so we started out with him and found his services to be well beyond our expectations. More than that, for me I found him to be just stunningly brilliant, when it comes to the immigration laws and processes. We have had over the time pretty difficult cases that teacher had given upon and we all said wow! This is the shot in the dark to see if we can clean this part or clear this up and get the net result. But Rajiv's folks were very confident and they always tell you exactly what you can expect. They don't promise something that they can't deliver and they have been able to help us in every single case for past three years.
So, I highly recommend his company - they are people of integrity and they tell you exactly what to expect and we were pleased with their services. There are several characteristics of the service that we get from this company that I want to point out. One is that timeliness and the responsiveness to our applications and to the conversations if we have to consult then they get right back to us but more than that meticulousness in which they do their work.
Everything is checked and double checked and nothing is submitted with errors and mistakes as we have experienced that many times in the past with other attorney's. I don't know if they are not as careful as they need to be sometimes or what happens. In the case of Rajiv's team they check and double check, they are careful. I don't think we ever had any application which returned or denied because of some error, even the telephone number everything is exactly the way it supposed to be and that means everything in this particular business when you are working with Federal government.
The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) conducts administrative review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers’ decisions regarding immigration benefit requests in order to promote consistency and accuracy in the interpretation of immigration law and policy. We have appellate jurisdiction over approximately fifty different types of immigration applications and petitions.
The AAO Practice Manual describes rules, procedures, and recommendations for practice before the AAO. It is organized into seven chapters, including:
Dear All,
I want to inform the full story of my GC Episode. I am writing this on Sep-22-2004.
I was planning to apply for my GC during 2001 March. I was visiting many Attorneys office personally in Houston and through phone. I found out that, Attorney Rajiv S.Khanna was collecting the decent fees among all.
Then I checked his reputation. It was amazing. So, I contacted him through email.
Within 24 hours, with free of cost he talked to me. Listened my case and suggested me to apply through EB1 (OR).
I chosen him and his office gave me case number and opened a file for me. Then they assigned me to interact with one of Attorney’s Associates Ms.Diane D Lombardo. A Wonderful lady.
She walked through with me for the entire case (around 3 years). I could have asked at least 100 questions in my full three years, because my case was getting complicated. I lost my Job before I140 approval. I am a software engineer, so it is not a surprise for me. But, INS cannot understand that. I thought I lost my GC almost. But, Diane in continuous consultations with Attorney Rajiv rescued me from the deep problem. My sincere thanks to her.
Next Thankful person is Mathew Chaco. He also one of Attorney’s Associates. Great Person. Free to approach and also fast in responses. When my Finger Printing was not raised by INS. I approached him. He arranged for a talk to INS from Attorney office immediately. Within 30 days I got FP from INS. While many of my contemporary GC candidates are yet to get FP, I got it because of him and my GC also approved within 2 months after FP.
Next thankful Person is Ms.Suman. Over all supervisor. She talked to me several occasions. She is always to the point. If you approach for any issues. She will inform you the time for the reply. Exactly within the mentioned time (after the discussion with Attorney Rajiv or some times she arranged Attorney to talk to me) she will always reply with the possible positive answer.
All these questions I raised with them are free. Because I am a client for them.
Their office people also having excellent hospitality. Polite in answering and approachable.
BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE, ATTORNEY RAJIV AND HIS ASSOCIATES ARE THE BEST LAWYER FOR IMMIGRATION RELATED PURPOSE IN USA.
Email me if you have any questions.
Good Luck.
Thanks to all the wonderful professional staff at Rajiv's Offices. The entire experience from getting a L1 visa to a GC approval within 24 months was awesome. I really appreciated the personal attention and constant updates on status. I also want to highlight the superior service Savita Krishnamurthy extended, many times going beyond the call of duty. You people are A1.
This is to announce to everyone that Offices of Rajiv Khanna extended their service without sparing any efforts to get my green card approved. I was extremely happy with their service and I'm more than willing to answer what I went through and how Rajiv helped me out.. Thanks.. Ram
Thanks for helping me getting my green card. Spacial thanks to Shivani Sharma, Liela Lehman, Sri, Diano Lambardo, Mathew Chacko and Vijay Durgam. Every body did good job in preparing paper work which helped me getting green card earlier than others.
I am working with Rajiv's office for over a year now. Staff is extremely professional and very prompt. I would highly recommend the firm.
My wife and I received our GC approval notices and got stamps on our passports on August 31, 2004. We are thankful to Mr. Khanna and his team for getting our GC approved. The whole GC process was not smooth but Mr. Khanna was very helpful all along. Whenever we wanted to talk to him for the problems we faced throughout the GC processing, he was always kind enough to spend his valuable time to discuss with us about our case. And finally after three years of struggle we have had happy ending. Again, we would like to thank Mr. Khanna and his staff especially Diane for the good job they have done for our GC process.
Rajiv, Sirisha, and Anna,
I am extremely happy to inform you that my father's visitor visa has been approved. I just heard from my parents and wanted to share my joy with you. Thanks to all your efforts and the valuable advice of the law
offices, I and my wife are now in a position to enjoy some much-needed family time. The whole process took my parents 9 months and 4 visits to the consulate and finally it is over. It is not known if the approval
is for 6 months or 10 years at this time.
Sirisha, I am greatly thankful to you for working with me closely and professionally looking at every minute detail of this case. You're simply
awesome.
Appreciate all the efforts of the Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna.
Very thorough, extremely efficient, you get the job done, and are patient with regard to questions. All in all, a very smooth process of getting a difficult H-1 application approved
I am a US citizen who Sponsored my fathers green card in 2010. His green card is expiring oct 2020. He had to stay in India since Jan 2019 due to health conditions. With the Covid pandemic situation and his age (81) and health conditions, he is not able to travel back to the united States before the green card expiry. My father does not have any family in India to take care of him and will have to come here so that my brother and I can take care of him. What are our options for avoiding the expiry of the green card? Secondly, is there a 60 day extension on the expiry date due to Covid 19?

You should try to get in touch with the consulate and send them emails, etc., asking them their guidance and that way you have at least some proof that you are trying to get back into the USA on time, but if it goes past one year it can't be helped, you can always start a new green card if you like, not too many options here.

Video Testimonial, Reza Zarafshar, President, Advanced Computer Concepts
Advanced Computer Concepts (ACC) is an IT solutions provider and we have been established in Northern Virginia right outside the Washington DC for the past 30 years. When we cannot find talent in the US we depend on talent and expertise available overseas. A few years ago we needed to hire networking engineering talent from outside United States. A friend of mine whose company had done a lot of hiring in this area recommended Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna to me.
That year we hired two very capable network engineers outside the United States using the H-1B visa programe. The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna handled these H-1B cases for ACC. Since then in addition to H-1B they have handled permanent residency application for a few of our employees. They have also given us very valuable advice on many immigration matters.
We at ACC are very pleased with the work Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna have done for us. They are very thorough and meticulous and properly handling and completing the applications so that the applications could process in expedite manner without any problems. They have always been very prompt in answering our questions and do an excellent job of documenting the progress of each case.
I would recommend Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna for others looking for a US immigration attorney. Rajiv Khanna is a very knowledgeable immigration attorney. He is an expert in his field. His firm has a very high success rate and is very precise and thorough in filing the applications. Their fees are reasonable and they are easily accessible. I have interacted with them via email and phone calls many times. They have always been very prompt responsive and accurate and treat us as a client very well.
