Your team was very helpful, right from start to finish. I am definitely going to come back to your office for future immigration needs. Thank You for all your help.
I got Mr. Khanna's Reference from a friend of mine as Immigration Lawyer. Since my first discussion,and then applying for H1-B visa for one of my employees, Mr. Khanna and his staff has been exceptional in response, knowledge, promptness and understanding. To say the least our employee got the H1-B visa and everybody is so happy, that all our future work needed for our company on immigration question will be done by M. Khanna's office.
Awesome work, we are regular clients of their law firm and each time the experience is the same: Helpful, fast and APPROVALS!
Rajiv is an expert on Immigration Laws and is straight up and abreast of rules and regulations and is strict about the law and stays strictly as defensive. Rajiv has an excellent team in Mathew and Heather. They are very knowledgeable, proactive and understanding. I highly recommend Rajiv and his team of Mathew and Heather as your case managers.
Your team is very professional, diligent and has very good attention to details. Everybody there including Vikas, Anna, and Fran were very punctual and responded to our queries promptly and guided us through every step in a professional manner. Even after getting a RFE, they came up with good solutions to resolve the issue and get the application approved. I will definitely refer your firm to my friends and colleagues.

Rajiv, Suman helped and encouraged me when my 140 was denied even after filing the amendment to treat it EB-3 . They were very prompt, knowledgeable and helping . I strongly recommend Mr Rajiv Khanna for any immigration related work
Rajiv Khanna's office is handling my Green Card process and in general, his entire team is very responsive and provide a good support. I received an RFE on my I140 petition, with very peculiar queries. Sheena Gill took the responsibility of compiling the response for the RFE. She did a great job in following up and compiling the evidences and gave me very good suggestions. She was prompt in responding and provided necessary information to me to take the appropriate steps. It has been great to work with her. Her dedication, effort she expends are great. Great Team.
I received approval for my I-485 adj of status for me and my family on July 21,2008. I knew about Rajiv and his team from my H1 transfer, LC and I-140. Now one more chance for me to thank Rajiv and his team for getting my GC approved. I can proudly mention that my case was in a good hand. Rajiv a kind-hearted and knowledgeable person who handles the cases very cleverly. We get good advices from him always. I also have to mention that Rajiv has a very good team in his office. They also act immediately and response quickly for all our issues and questions. I understand all his team people are good in providing a good service to clients. Especially I would like to thank Attorney Mathew Chacko, who is a very good man personally and officially while handling my case. Mathew acted very quick and responded my questions immediately without any hesitation. Every time I get upset Rajiv and Mathew only convinced and encouraged me. I really thank other team members Subha, Prerna, Bharathi also for their immediate and quick action every time. I strongly recommend every one to go through Rajiv's Office for you immigration process. He and his team not only act as an Attorney's Office but they acted as a very close family member to get GC and other process for us. I cannot forget Rajiv and his team in my life time. They lighted my future with brightness. Once again my heartfelt thanks to Rajiv and his team.
Perfect and straight guidance given by Lawyers/persons handling my case, help me achieve my Labor certification. Great Team. Professionalism is KEY here. I would recommend others to Rajiv Khanna/Vijay Durgam who handled my case.
We received our approvals. A special thanks to Leslie and Heather for supporting us through the entire process. They were very responsive, knowledgeable, and took prompt care of all our questions and inquiries right to the last few days. Mr. Khanna has a great team in Suman, Heather, and Leslie. Thank you for all your help.
you are looking for competent, aggressive lawyer, your search ends here. Do NOT hire ordinary lawyers that your company asks you to hire.
My wife & kids H4 was not renewed and were Out of Status due to company's fault and my ignorance and trust on the company. This happened in 2003. We hired a local lawyer, best in town, to handle my case in 2005, when I found out on my own that my dependant's H4 was not renewed. We applied at USCIS, but was rejected. We appealed in the Court, but was denied.
I contacted Rajiv Khanna and we applied in 2008, after more than 4 years in Out of Status. My H1 was renewed, along with H4 in 2 days!!!!! Can you believe it?
After 4 years of Mental tension and all the agony, we passed through, we felt so relieved.
We got our new I-94s attached for my wife and 2 kids. Great People, Nice Dedicated Staff, Intelligent Lawyers.
I would recommend him to anyone, no matter how big or small the case is, Do NOT look any further. I did all my research for all these years looking for good lawyer, don't spend any more time searching. If you are in trouble, take my advice, talk to him and he can definitely help you. I was told by other lawyers that there was no chance that I would be able to get them back on status. but Miracle happens and it happened to me. Lots of smart work at Rajiv's end. Thanks Rajiv and Good Luck to all.
The service provided by Art Shiflet and Mathew Chacko from Mr.Khanna's office during my citizenship process was exceptional. They both provided me prompt answers to my inquiries, updated me with information as soon as they became available and were extremely knowledgeable . I would highly recommend Mr.Khanna's office for any sort of immigration cases
Both me and my wife filed for our I-485 processing through LORK in July 2007. My file got through and I received my EAD,I-485 receipts and AP. But my wife's file got lost in USCIS and we did not got any receipts. Roopa and Matthew put in great efforts to get her application through. We really appreciate the work done by entire Rajiv's team.
Fran Fisher and Anna Baker were very dedicated to insuring that this sensitive issue was processed diligently. Follow up was constant, insuring that nothing was left undone.
I would like to give special thanks to Mathew Chacko,Rita Dhakal,Pramitha , Suman B for thier prompt service & quick responses during the process.The GC was filed in May 2003 & from then till April 2008 ( when my 485 got approved, wife is yet to be aproved )I have been in close touch with RK's office & I really should say that how every busy these guys are, they have always got back to me for any questions,doubts that I had from time to time.
I have heard stories from other colleagues , friends about some law offices & how they handle the client GC cases.I would highly recommend RK's office & his team to anyone who wants to file his GC thru employment. You are guys are no -1 in every way.
I would also add that my employer has been equally cooperative & supportive to me during the whole process.
A big thanks to Rajiv and his excellent team including Mathew, Heather, Mark, Anna, Rena and everyone else who touched my case over the past five years. Thank you for sharing my pain when I was waiting (sometimes impatiently) for the Green Card and for responding to all my questions (of which there have been many) as I tried to understand the options available to me through the green card process as well as all the H1B renewals.
Rajiv, thank you also for the phone consultations as they have helped my decisions during crucial moments in my career.
Thanks to Mr. Vijay Durgam and his firm who did a great job to get my Labor certification done in less than 4 months of application.
Rajiv has an excellent team in Mathew & Heather. They are very knowledgeable, proactive & understanding. They would call me at home with an update. I highly recommend Rajiv and his team of Mathew & Heather as your case managers
Wonderful and thorough team- Att. Diane, Sheena and Matthew helped me at every step with RFE for I-140 as well as I-485. Ever ready and alert team. They would call me immediately whenever we were in need. Besides, Mr Khanna, personally took interest and supported, made suggestions when we had queries. Att. Diane and Sheena worked very hard on my case and did their best to put the message across.
I am grateful to you all and thank myself for choosing you.
Regards
Dear all
I came to the USA from New Delhi, India with a Master's in Microbiology in 1992 - to pursue a Ph.D. in Biochemistry / Molecular biology specializing in protein engineering. In 2000, started a post doc- 7 months at Brigham and Women's hospital - did not get along with the indian jerk of a boss so changed to the main Harvard medical School quad under a fantastic caucasian post doc mentor and a very good friend, a very liberal democrat (Go John Kerry).
Should H-1 be renewed while the AOS is pending?
Bottomline - I think H-1 should be renewed.
A little more info: A few months ago, I used to feel strongly that AOS applicants should keep their H-1 active for several reasons. Two of these are:
One, EAD issuance was erratic and CIS had discontinued issuance of interim EAD's (that is, if in 90 days your EAD is not issued, you could walk with a infopass appointment to your local CIS office and get an EAD). Thus, EAD's were unreliable and given for only a year. You could have interruptions in your work.
Rajiv, this month’s visa bulletin shows our category is current. What does this mean for people who have already applied for 485. Have AP and EAD. And now their dates are current again? Does it mean they will get a GC via mail? What if I haven’t had my FP done yet?
As of July 2008, this is how the system works.
First, let me provide a little background. Priority Date is the date your PERM is filed (in Case of EB-1 or NIW – the date your I-140 is filed; in case of Family-based petitions – the date your I-130 is filed.).

Thanks to Mr. Rajiv Khanna's team for going through the long process of Green Card. I got my green card last week. Especially my thanks to Mr Mathew Chacko and Mr Vijay Durgam. They are so helpful in my case.
