It‘s a great news to receive my green card finally on 06/29 after long waiting.
It took around 4+ years (LPD: 09/2002, EB3, I-485 08/2003).
I really appreciate every body’s time, help and patience from the Law offices of Mr. Rajiv Khanna.
My special thanks to Mr. Mathew Chako and Mr. Jitesh Malik who have been very helpful through out.
It’s my pleasure to work with such a great legal team and I truly recommend this firm to every body for their Immigration needs.
Looking forward to work with you.
This is great . I got my Labor certified within 6-7 working days. I would like to Thank Pramita Shidhore who was handling my case , for doing an excellent work and to keep me updated on the status. I use to get response to all my question almost immediately. I was confident when I decided to go through Rajiv Khanna for my GC process that every thing will flow smoothly and this confirms it. I highly recommend Mr.Khanna's office and staff for all immigration purposes.
The very next day , when my Labor was certified , I got call from Tarun Sharma whose Handling my I140 case, giving me all the details about I140 process and answering all my questions . This is really great , no waste of time and every things move very fast.
We got our GC approved on June 5th, 2007 and the cards were received within a week. The journey was long with several roadblocks. The expertise of Mathew Chacko did the trick. His commitment to excellence and above par communication always made me feel at ease. I knew a professional is handling the case. The fee was so reasonable. Our earlier attorneys were more interested in prepayments than service. Mathew's knowledge and expertise on immigration matters is remarkable. I would strongly recommend the services of this firm.
I had my first H1 petition and subsequent H1 renewal processed through the Law offices of Rajiv Khanna. I strongly recommend these folks for any immigration related issues as they go about the business in a very professional and sincere way. My case manager for H1 renewal was Mr. Chris Harman and I very much appreciate his quick responses and clarity in responses to multiple questions that I had posed. We are very thankful for all the help and have no doubt will come to your office for any immigration related matters. Please keep up the good work and the excellent website. Best regards.

We would like to convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr. Khanna and his staffs for helping us to succeed in our immigration petition through EB-1 (OR) category. We were very thrilled to note that our petition was approved without RFE in a record pace (within 9 months of submission).
Without his kind support and dedicated staff, we think we could not have achieved this. We would like to convey our special thanks to Ms. Diane Lombardo who meticulously put all the evidences together and shaped the case as a strong one.
I highly recommend this team.
Good Luck for all you. Thanks.
Senthil.
The experience working with your firm was amazing. All the paralegals were great and everything was done in a prompt fashion. I will definitely recommend your service to all my friends who need help with visa processing.
Thank you very much again for all your help.
Best Regards

I am satisfied with the service. Thanks. - Srini
I would like to thank Mr. Khanna and all the staff members - Mathew, Shivani, Homa(presently not working with you) and all other remaining members who have helped me get through this process. You all were just great to work with.
Mr. Khanna has been my immigration lawyer for H1-B as well as Greencard. My 485 was approved from TSC last week in a record 11 months! He and his staff (Vijay, Suman, Shivane, Prerna, Rena) have all been exceptional! They never hesitated to answer the million questions I had and were always prompt in calling or emailing me back. Mr. Khanna too always made time out of his busy schedule to call me whenever I needed to speak with him directly. This is one exceptional group of folks and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a good immigration lawyer.
I am so glad I hired the services of Mr R S Khanna. The staff is so dedicated and responsive. I always felt I was in good hands and help was always round the corner.
Special thanks to Leila Lehman for responding promptly to all my queries and for being so very friendly and helpful. She is certainly a pleasure to work with and will always hold a special place in my family for being so very nice during the whole process from I-140 onwards.
Also, Subha was very professional and helpful during labor processing and Shivane helped very promptly and efficiently with filing I-140.
I always thought Consular processing was risky business but Mr Khanna and Co. really made it work without a glitch.
I wish them good luck with their business and hope they continue to serve many more with the same efficiency. I rate them as A+++
Many thanks !

I am so thankful and greatfull to the wonderful people in The Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna for filing my GC and getting my approval and stamping. Their consul at very stage was excellent and always accurate. My 485 was cleared in 18 months. I would like to thank Mr Khanna for his consul and assertiveness in my case, Leila Lehman - a wonderful person, for taking care for my case and clearing all my doubts and Suman for initial supervising of my case. They were always reachable and would respond immediately. I rate them as the most precious people in my life with my Parents, Family, My favorite Teacher and best friend. Their help and consul cannot be thanked in words. I shall always be indebted to them.
I would strongly recommend The Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna for any issues in your GC. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about the Law Offices of Rajiv Kanna. Apart from their professional services, their site has been in my opinion the greatest contribution to the immigrants in the US, I cannot find a parallel to a site anywhere in the net which benefited so many, so much.
Wishing them the best!
Great work by the team. Seamless transfer from one person to another through the different stages of the processing. Great response time and guidance. Thanks for all the help.
First of all I would like to thank Mr. Khanna, Joy, and Charu for accepting my case and working on it.My case was a bit complicated, but with the help of Mr. Khanna, I was able to get the H1B Visa. Excellent service, very professional, and very patient. I know that for any future legal matters, I will definitely return to the Law offices of Rajiv. S. Khanna. All my good wishes to Mr. Khanna and his staff.
Excellent service , very cooperative , courteous and patient staff.Always gets the prompt response and the everyone seems to be knowledgeable .. Very happy and will consult again for any future needs..
I have no words to describe my heartfelt gratitude to Attorney Khanna and his excellent team for their hard work during the processing of my green card. I had previously filled out the client book when my self-petitioned I-140 was approved. A long time passed between that and the I-485 stamping which warrants me to add something more about Attorney Khanna and his team.
Attorney Khanna and the people in his office are fully accessible and in spite of their busy schedules will contact you within a day if you have any questions. Sometimes you get answers to your queries on the weekends too. All paperwork is efficiently processed and throughout the tedious and time consuming process of multiple EADs, APs etc, not once did I have any problems. They will patiently answer your questions without charging you (which is such a rarity in today's world). I have had no hesitation in recommending my friends and family to Attorney Khanna for his legal services because I know that they will be in good hands, as was I. My sincere thanks to Attorney Khanna's team some of whom, like Diane Lombardo, Mathew Chacko, Leila Lehman and Suman Bhasin, I had the privilege of talking to during the processing of my case. Great team indeed !
Feel free to email me if anyone has questions about the law office of Attorney Khanna.
Best Regards.
My spouse is currently working on F-1 OPT or H-1 status. How can he/she change to H-4 status and obtain H-4 EAD without a gap in the ability to work?
We have received several requests about how to ensure there are no gaps in a spouse’s ability to work when converting from another work status (such as H-1) to H-4 EAD.
The short answer, as of now (November 2016) is that here is no way to guarantee that there will not be any gap in a spouse’s ability to work. The problems arise from the fact that there can be a gap between change of status to H-4 and receipt of EAD. The law requires that EAD must be approved and the EAD card must be in hand for the H4 holder to work.
I was working with Mathew all along from labor to finish the green card process. They are very professional and very very helpful. I recommend to every body confidently to go to Rajiv S Khanna office for any immigration needs. I personally like Mathew the way he dealt and helped me answering every small concern.
They are awesome.
