I did at least 3 H1s and Green Card through this firm. I never had any glitches (no RFEs..never!)
Excellent courteous staff, prompt response are just some of the things that are so rare to find from other immigration lawyers. Rajiv Khanna himself is always available for advise.
Filed for my Green Card back in April of 2001,
NC State labor approval: May, 2002
Federal Labor approval: May, 2003
140-485 filed: May, 2003
140-485 approval: October, 2004
Fingerprinting: Dec, 2004
Plastic card received: Dec, 2004
I would like to thank Mr.Khanna for the fabulous work done on my Green Card.
I started my GC journey in July 2001 starting with Ads for RIR. My case was approved in Dec 2004. I thank all the team members who worked with me: Richa, Savitha, Matthew, Sri & Leila & Suman. They have always promptly answered my questions patiently. I would recommend this law firm to anyone for any immigration matter.
I started my green card processing in February 2003 with when I applied for the labor certification and I got my I485 approved on December 7th. My company was looking for different lawyers and I am glad that the company selected Mr. Rajiv Khanna.
The staff is really very knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. My special thanks to Prerena Mehta, Vijay Durgham, and Shivane. The staff was always available for clarifications for doubts raised either by me or by my employer.
Thank you so much to Rajiv and his staff.
I know Rajiv for the last 6 years and I would say " He is one of the Best Attorney for Immigration in U.S"

I have my I-140 approved under EB-3 category, even though I have Masters Degree from accredited US University. Can I change it to EB-2 now?

FAQ Transcript:
This FAQ is about H-1 quota, how does H-1 quota work?
I think this is an issue important for many people.
Question: I am on L-1 A, If I get H-1B this April, is it mandatory to work from October 1st. Can I continue on L-1A and then change to H-1B when I like.
I have two approved I-140`s in EB-2 from two different companies with same A# on them. One with 2009 PD and other with 2011 PD. I am working for the company with 2011 PD . 2009 case was approved after the 2011 case so we could not port the date at the time of filing for 2011 case I-140. Now my question is do I need to file for amendment to port the 2009 date? Or am I eligible for filing I-485 without the I-140 amendment? Both I-140's are alive and employer did not withdraw any of them.
PD (priority date) date transfer is supposed to be automatic. We don’t have to do anything about it and it is my understanding what USCIS does is they do periodic sweeps in fact several times a month. They do a sweep like queries of their database and whoever is entitled to whichever priority date at the earliest they automatically assign that to you. So if you have one I- 140 approved earlier another I-140 going on or approved they will automatically assign you the earliest priority date to which you are entitled. That may or may not reflect in your approval though. So just because it does not reflect in your approval it doesn’t mean that you are not going to get the earlier priority date. You can confirm it by opening a service request. You can confirm by asking them your priority date.
Hence the answer is you are eligible for filing I-485 automatically when the 2009 date becomes current. All you have to do is attach a copy of the earlier approval notice with it along with the current approval and you should be fine.
I am working for company A, last three years. In order to file green card I need to use my current experience(3 years) as I don't have previous experience to prove. Can I leave the current job from company A, go to another company(company B) and work for few months in ( company B) and go back to my previous company(company A) so I can use the three years experience for GC process? How long I have to be out of company A to use that three years experience?
Answer is No, unless you meet the following requirements. If the job being offered to you as a Green Card job is more than 50% qualitatively different than the software engineer. If you join as a software engineer you got 3 years of experience then next job offered is Project Manager for example where more than 50% of your time spent in managing projects not a hands on architecture or development. Now you can use the experience you gained because job offered is different than the job you had before. There is common sense reason for it. When you joined this employer you had zero experience, after three years employer claims that they require 3 year experience for the same job. USCIS or DOL would want to know what changed that their requirement changed.
I would like to thank Khanna's Law office in every stage. Now he helped to cross the first stage. My Federal Labor certified. Even though we are client's to Rajiv, He treats clients as friend and some one very close to him by giving personal care and attention. Also his personnel's are also doing good job particularly Subha(Case Manager). I felt that my case has been taken with close personal care by Subha. You will feel, if you are dealing the case through Subha. I appreciate Subha's immediate response and perfect guidance, by treating us like a family member. I have no words to thank her. Also the follow up by Rajiv's office is excellent. I would like to thank Suman(Supervisor),Bindhiya and Mathew Chacko also in this time. Once again my heartful thanks to Rajiv for bringing my case to this level. I am also least bothered about my next stage, as I have good group of people like Rajiv and Subha with me. I strongly recommend every one to process through Rajiv's Office to get success.
I wish a very Happy and Prosperous New Year for Rajiv and his Team.
