I have been with Rajiv's team for the last 3 years and successfully obtained green card for me and my wife. I must say that I have never seen a more efficient, accessible, effective and excellent firm anywhere else.
I have to say thanks to Rajiv, Mathew, Suman, Subha and Hellen for the excellent work that they do.

If anyone's interested: I had an appointment today for H1B visa revalidation. Overall it was a smooth experience. I was asked for my paystubs though.
Degree etc was not asked for. Total interview time was 2 minutes. The only question I was asked was whether I am working for the same company for which I had received an H1 visa previously. In my case that holds true. I also had an F1 visa previously. US Degree.
