I have a lot of experience with the immigration lawyers. This time with Rajiv's office is a WAY different (better) experience:
* immaculate filing preparation - this is not some sloppy paralegal preparing your docs with bunch of misspellings and inaccuracies;
* excellent communication - forget your voice-mails with no responses or the your attorney's email black-hole. Rajiv's teams are fast in response and their answers are clear and focused on what you need to know.
* deadline oriented - with Rajiv S. Khanna's office you KNOW the answer of all your when,where,why and hows....If they commit to date - that is your filing date.You never get nonsense excuses.
* respect - all we know that immigration process is not straigth forward and trivial process. Some times things can get bumpy and you may loose your patience. At this time you need moral support and respect no less then a legal help. Rajiv's team is there for you - your best friend and guide. Actually you become at some point member of the team.
* professional awareness - here I'm going to say just one thing and if you read this you'll understand what I'm talking about. This is the first attorney company that I'm working with and I DO NOT have the feeling that I'm more up to date with the immigration law changes and updates then my attorney.
I know at a time I sound like commercial ad, so let me put some names to my words.
My awes goes to the Mathew and Aruna team. Thank you for the excellent job done so far.

Khanna and his colleagues (Richa,Mohana) did a great job in getting my labor certifed with in 8 days,I like their personal interest in going through the documents very keenly to cover up pit holes,sending the drafts timely at each stage,followup and more over very honest in giving status about whatz going on with the case.
I can recommend anyone to blindly go ahead and trust this people.i feel blessed by knowing these folks and working with them.YOU WILL HAVE A PEACE OF MIND WORKING WITH THEM.
Thank you everyone in Mr.Khanna’s firm.
Excellent quality service. Immediate e-mails response. Paperwork prepared very well. Mr Khanna is very knowledgeable attorney. Very good representation.
My sincere thanks to Rajiv Khanna and Amrita for their efforts in getting my PERM approved in a remarkable time frame.
My case was a bit complicated. Initially my PERM application got rejected three times over a four week period. The DOL was being quite vague about the reason stating that the alien does not qualify for the job.
However Mr. Khanna's expertise in this matter and dedication of Amrita got my application through, in the fourth attempt,
in a matter of three business days.
Mr.Khanna is very patient and helpful when it comes to dealing with employers. He spoke with my employer several times throughout the process, answered all the
queries that my employer had and helped him understand the perm process.
I really feel that Amrita put her heart in to my case. Amrita was extremely good about acting promptly on the rejection letters
from DOL. My Advertisements were expiring in 3 days from the day the fourth attempt was made. If she hadn't acted quickly i
probably wouldn't have had a chance.
I personally feel that Mr. Khanna's Law office pays close attention to details. They
are also very good about responding promptly to emails, phone calls and clarifying the smallest doubt you may have.
I strongly recommend their services.
My PERM EB2 petition got approved on May 3rd. The amount of attention given to each little detail in the process and their professionalism had given me the confidence that the labor petition would go thru without any snag.
My sincere thanks to Mr. Rajiv Khanna, and especially to Ms. Reecha Nareng and Ms. Mohana Navran. I appreciate your help and hard work you have put in on my application. You were always prompt and responsive and very helpful.
Thanks

I would like to thank Amrita, Seema for the effort they put in to get my labor approved in 5 working days. Great work!!!
I worked with Ms.Richa and Ms.Mohana. Mr. Rajiv is my attorney.
They have done an incredible job of completing my PERM in time which once I thought would be nearly impossible. We started our process very late in my 5th year.
I am highly impressed with their patience and prompt replies. I highly appreciate them. I found both of them easy to work with. They went thru the documents over and over, and prepared very convincing case.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE.
Thanks

I'm on H-1B with employer A and am currently in the PERM process(recruitment done). I'm in India right now and would like to know what happens if:
1) PERM approved and i140 filed; (while I'm in India)
2) Receive PERM audit; (while I'm in India)
3) I-140 approved and Post I-140 approval; (while I'm in India)
Do I need to return to the US in any of the above scenarios? Any worst-case scenarios I should keep in mind?
1. No problem.
2. No problem.
3. No problem.
Do discuss your long-term plans with your lawyers.
FAQs: Impact of job changes on pending I-140 and/or PERM applications for H-1B holder || Recommendation letters for EB-1A applications ||What happens if you stay outside the U.S. for more than 8 months as a permanent resident
If your company files a new PERM for a different role within the same organization after your initial I-140 is approved, will the initial I-140 still be active?
If your employer revokes your initial I-140 more than 6 months after it is approved and you move to a new role within the same company, is there any risk involved?
Will every organization need to apply for a PERM again in the future if you switch employers? Can you work for an organization that is not ready to start your PERM process, and can you use your previous approved I-140 to extend your H1B for a new employer?
If you lose your job post I-140 approval and don't find a new job within 60 days, can you still apply for jobs while outside the United States? Will your last approved I-140 still be active?
What are the cases or situations in which you can lose your I-140 or priority date (i.e., your approved I-140 is revoked)?
When filing for the permanent labor certification (PERM) application, it is important to file from the corporate headquarters instead of a branch or sub-office, especially for consulting jobs or jobs that can be transferred to different locations. This is because the U.S Department of Labor considers the corporate headquarters to be the job site for transferable jobs. After the I-140 is approved, the priority date belongs to the individual even if the I-140 is withdrawn, unless it is revoked for fraud, misrepresentation, or an obvious error. Additionally, as long as the I-140 stays approved for 180 days, the individual has the right to extend their H-1B beyond six years with any employer, even if the I-140 is revoked. After 180 days, the employer can revoke the I-140, but it does not affect the individual.
Thanks to Richa and Mohana, for your timely and well organised support, I got my PERM Labor Approved within 10 Days!!
