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"

What is I-485 Pre-adjudicate/Pre-adjudication?
How soon must I join my future green card employer?
Situation -
I have my EB2 India PD as March, 2008. I applied for I-485 in Oct 2014 (Future based GC application). My PD is not current as of yet but I have got an RFE for expired medical form I-693 ONLY in Oct, 2015.
Question: What is I-485 Pre-adjudicate/Pre-adjudication?
You are at the last step of the green card process. Your priority dates became current, you filed the I-485, then the priority dates slipped back two years, at this time USCIS has two choices. They can either put your file in their filing cabinet and forget about the case, until the priority dates become current again. Or they can sit down and can say look we have time, let’s go over the case, adjudicate all the details, decide that the case is completely qualified to receive a green card, so we pre-adjudicate, decide that the person is entitled to get the green card. Make a note on the file. If you need some documents, we send an RFE get the documents so when the priority dates become current again all we have to do is issue the green card. That’s pre-adjudicate.
Question: How soon must I join my future green card employer?
There is really no rule of thumb. But within a commercially reasonable period of time. Three to four months maybe, after approval of the green card, you should join the future green card employer. In your particular case that appears to be a requirement sometimes it may not be a requirement because of AC21 and remember AC21 portability is available even in future employer green card cases.
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.
