I've been working with Rajeev Khanna and his team who have helped me tremendously in applying for PERM and since my PERM was certified just three days before the 30th September 2005 deadline for I-140/I-485, Rajeev's team (especially Vijay Durgam, Prerna Mehta and Pramita) did an amazing job of compiling all the documents and getting everything ready and getting my I-40/I-485 packet to the processing center within 2 days (few hours before the deadline expired).
I am now waiting for my I-140/I-485 processing but would like to thank Rajeev Khanna and his team profusely for all the hard work they did on behalf of me and my company.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

Rajiv is an expert on Immigration Laws and insists on perfect paperwork. I have never seen him making false promises or being unnecessarily defensive on the other hand.
His efforts in immigration matters are simply exemplary.
I received my PERM approval in 2 days.
Vijay Durgam was my case manager and he has been very co-operative, professional
and prompt throughout the case. I can certainly say he was right on money every time.
Many special thanks to him, Suman and other staff members.

Thank you!
I am back once again in the client feedback forum to express my appreciation and thanks to Rajiv and Savita for their brilliant and extra ordinary work they did for my I-140 (EB1 Multination Company Manager/Executive) My case needed all their brilliance and ability because I dont work for a well known company and my company is a small business with operations in 2 countries. Off late I have been getting irritated with a few of my friends if they hire any other lawyer other than Rajiv and I am now very much convinced that I am right. I sincerely thank Rajiv, Savita and everyone at their offices for their excellent and efficient services.
I just got approved for my Labour in PERM in 10 days. I was very surprised when Pramita (My case Team member) called me yesterday since I was in my 8th year extention for my H1B. My case manager Vijay Durgam and his team has done a good job and responded to my call very promtly. I Thank Mr. Khanna for his good stratagy on my case. I strongly recommend anyone to go with Mr.Khanna's Team. This company has very good support and care for their clients.
I just got the LC approved and I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Khanna and Ms. Richa Narang my case manager.
I was pleased with the strategy suggested by Mr. Khanna on approaching my case. Richa did careful checks of the documents supporting my application and maintained a good communication with Mr. Khanna during the entire process. My case manager did understand the specifics of my case and she was always available in returning my emails the same day.
I work for a company that provides great support for its customers and I fully appreciate the law firm of Mr. Khanna for doing the same. All my colleagues used in recent years the services offered by this law firm due to the great confidence it inspires.
Mr. Khanna's team processed my 8th year extension of H1-B. I was in a big soup before I want to Mr. Khanna's firm for help. Everything was done according to the book and in the fastest time frame possible. I received the approval within 4 days. I strongly recommend anyone to go via Mr. Khanna's firm.
This is to thank Mr. Khanna and his team for sharing their experience and giving exact guidelines on responding to an RFE on my I-140 application. We filed the response as suggested by Mr. Khanna during the phone conversation and got the approval just 4 days after filing the response.
Mr. Khanna and his team do great work, are very professional in their approach and have always given exact to the point solutions to all our problems, many of which were resolved through phone consulations with them. Wish the team all the best for the future.
QSSI is an IT Consulting Company located in Gaithersburg, MD with a staff strength of 120+ . We have been working with Rajiv Khanna's office for close to four years. They are the best. Rajiv's staff is very knowledgeable, dedicated, prompt and professional. Rajiv is always willing to talk anyone who needs legal counsel for immigration. We are very impressed with their service, though it is tough to single out an individual, as we find all of them to be real professionals but would still want to single out the few: Rena, Anna, Mathew, Amrita, Suman, Hellen and of course Rajiv.
I am very much thankful to Rajiv's team and special thanks to Vijay Durgham, Mathew Chako and Pramitha who worked on my PERM and the LC got approved in 20 days time. The team was very prompt in responding to any questions and request for clarifications.
Mr.khanna and his team is really super,they are very professional and always commited to provide high quality services to their clients.I am so happy to get my E-2 visa within 6 days via premium process.I would highly recommend Mr. khanna's consultation blindly to everyone,those who need to solve immigration problem without having any difficulty.
Thanks Mr.Khanna,Ms.Anna,Ms Savita for great work!!!!!!.

I am very much thankful to Rajiv and his team including Anna and Joy. Few month back, I returned using advance parole and due to this my L1-H1 transfer was almost got denied but due to Rajiv's special effort that got approved.
Very much thankful to Vijay Durgam (my case mannager for the GC Labor) for his very sincere and dedicated work. My Labor got cleared in 3 days time.
I am currently on H-1B , which expires on 20 Jan 2018 , Instead of filing H-1B extension my employer filed for my COS on L-1A , As i meet all the eligibility criteria. I also have my EB-1C I-140 approved , but we cannot file 485 as the dates are not current. My L-1A COS is rejected (Denied) . Will this impact my already approved I-140 ?

If your L-1A is denied and not just the change of status, then we have to look at the reason for denial. Typically L-1A is denied if the government feels that you don't rise to the level of an executive or managerial employee for whatever reason, whether it is on the foreign country side or the US side. If you don't rise to that level government can deny your L-1A and if they are denying the L-1A on that basis and your EB-1C I-140 was approved also with the same or similar job description, then obviously there is a potential impact because the criteria used for determining your eligibility for L-1A and EB-1C are the same as far as qualifying as a manager is concerned.
So indirectly because you are using the same job description you could have a problem with the L-1A denial. Yet now, if it is a change of status which can happen because you file your application two days late then the green card I-140 remains unaffected but then you have to worry about the unlawful presence problem. If you have been unlawfully present for 180 days you cannot come back for 3 years, except with a 212(d)(3) waiver and that's always a possibility in cases like these.

If a GC holder applies for permanent residency in another country (say Canada or Australia) is that automatically considered an abandonment of the GC here in the US? I am getting a very good job offer in Australia and would like to go try it out for a few months to see if its a good fit.
FAQ Transcript:
The question here is can I have permanent residency in more than one country?
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.
Mr. Khanna and his staff are very meticulous in preparing the case and the paperwork, and take the time to do it right. It paid off for my labour certification; I got my approval January 25, 2006.
