I am very thankful to Rajiv Khanna and his team of professionals for their work on my employer sponsored green card case. All of the people from the firm I had to deal with in the process were very nice, always responded to the numerous questions that I had on timely basis. On a couple of occasions, I needed somethings done really fast in order to catch a passport expiration date and another deadline and Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna were there for me, handling my paperwork in the fastest possible way as requested by me. With their help and probably some luck I was able to complete the whole green card process from start to finish in less than an year. This time also includes three months during which the ball was in my court, while I was gathering different documents for the I-140 and I-485. I am very happy with the services of The Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna and hope this message can bring them more business, which they deserve.
We thank Mr.Rajiv Khanna and his team, especially Bharathi and Ursula for their professionalism and diligence in handling our case. We have successfully got our H1B and H4 approvals. Thank you very much for the excellent service.
With best regards,
George and Teena
Dear Rajiv,
I would like to say my BIG "thank you" to the Mathew/Aruna team. I posted message early after my I 140 was flawlessly done. Now finally I and my family reached very important milestone - we received our Green Cards in the mail. What I can say - the excellent job of the Rajiv's team and a bit of luck I got the whole process PERM-EAD/AP-I140-I486 for a little bit more that 8 months. Not a single RFE. Not a single hiccup. That can only speak of how professional all the paperwork was prepared. I HIGHLY recommend Rajiv's company. If you want to put your fate in good hands, you can count on this company. Always with good advice, with excellent open communication channels and ready to get in action to serve better its clients.
Now that my journey reached its final destination and there are new prospective on the horizon, I will continue to spread the word about this excellent company –
The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khana.
Good luck to every one.
Signing out.
Nick
: Dear Rajiv:
I really appreciate the diligent work that you and your team put into my case.
The fact that we didn't get any RFEs for my I-140 and I-485 petitions, in spite of having my previous I-140 petition and the MTR denied by USCIS, shows clearly that you know the way to present material to USCIS so that it doesn't leave any questions/doubts in their minds that we qualify to stay in this country. I believe this is the result of your analysis of each case meticulously and preparing the supporting documentation according to the nature of the case, rather than following a cookie cutter formula like lot of other attorneys. I have seen my previous attorney do it and lot of friends' attorneys doing this. The standard statements I have heard so many times... "We don't need to submit that document now. We can submit that if USCIS asks for it". Forget about sending the documents to USCIS, they don't even let us know that we may need a piece of document and ask us to have it ready. Everything seems to be reactive, rather than proactive. No wonder USCIS takes so long to process some applications. They have to ask for every piece of information and at some point, they might even deny the petition for lack of clear evidence.
For all people who are going through the long and painful process of getting GC, there is only one advise I would like to give. Try to have a highly experienced immigration attorney like Rajiv on your side from day one. It is really hard to correct the mistakes done by other attorneys later. A petition filed with all the necessary paperwork, in the correct form and order will save you from a lot of heartache later on. Even if your company doesn't reimburse for the expenses, it's worth paying for it from your pocket.
And Rajiv, I would like to make a small suggestion to your staff too. While both my I-140 petition (re-filing) and H-1B extension petitions were being processed at the same time (during Dec 05 - Jan 06 timeframe), when your staff asked for copies of the same documents multiple times, it was getting on my employers nerves. The rant I kept on hearing from my company's HR people was, 'we just mailed/faxed them that document last week. Why are they asking for another copy again?'. Members of different teams didn't seem to have any idea that another petition is being handled by a person in the same office and that those documents already exist in another folder in the same office. A few small notes tagged to the files or consolidation of documents for each client might make the experience even more pleasant.
Thank you so much for your help and attention. I wouldn't even think of going to any other attorney for any future immigration related work I might have.
Regards,
Ravi
My wife and I received our GC approval within 10 months for the whole process with Rajiv S. Khanna as our attorney. We are very impressive on the professionalism of Rajiv. He and Diane helped us at every point in the whole process. The application is so smooth that we never get any problem or in completion about the paperwork done under their guidance. Great thanks to Diane Lombardo, who is always available and is happy to respond to any questions. Also many, many thanks to Kumuda, Rita, Lakshmi and other staff members who are very co-operative and would return calls and emails promptly. We are really glad that we chose this Law firm. We are greatly pleased with the service provided by Rajiv and his staff on my GC application.

I got my PERM Labor certified in less than a week. Special Thanks to Mr. Vijay Durgam. They prepare and review the documentation very thoroughly, I always got the feed back from Vijay on my queries within 24 hours. Vijay was so patient to answer my queries during the process.
Many Thanks to everyone who helped me get my labor certified!
Dear Roopa, Pramita, Vani, and all those who handled my case,
I would like to thank you all for your efforts in documenting my case (RIR/EB2) in a professional manner that led to the approval of Labor Certification.
I sincerely thank Roopa for her prompt responses whenever I requested information. She was very efficient and made sure that I was updated whenever there was a update.
I hope that the team will do its best in the next steps as well.

Excellent job by Rajiv and co! First I got my I-140 approval within 2 weeks and now I've got my Green card within 9 months of concurrent filing of I-140 and I-486. Thanks to Rajiv and the whole team for their wonderful help. My special thanks are due to Diane, who was instrumental in putting my package together for all her help and for her prompt response to all my queries.
I got my I-140 approval in 15 working days. Wonderful job done by Aruna and Mathew. They are very good in coordinating with employer, clarifying GC related questions during the process.
Thanks to Aruna, Mathew and Rajiv's.
Excellent team. Very quick effective correspondance and communications skills by Mr. Vikas.
Though still waiting for my last stage of GC to be cleared, I went with Rajiv S. Khanna as my attorney. Rajiv is an expert on Immigration Laws and is straight up and abreast of rules & regulations. He helped me at every point in the whole process even when my 6 yr H1-B was getting expired to file the renewal with appropriate paperwork and was very quick to do this. I never had any problem or incompletion about the paperwork done under his guidance, which has been perfect. Perfect paperwork reduces the total time of this lengthy process. His associates who worked with me on my case are very thorough. I am greatly thankful to Richa Narang who worked with me from the begining of the process and then Prerna Mehta who took over later who is always available and is happy to respond calmly and peacefully. Also many, many thanks to Sheena, Mathew, Lakshmi and other staff members who are very co-operative and would return calls & e-mails promptly. I even got good & prompt advises on some legal issues even if it wasn't the area of interest for them and not related to my case. I am really glad that I chose this Law firm. I am greatly pleased with Rajiv and his staff as far as their professionalism, courtesy and promptness regarding my GC.
Many thanks to all for doing a wonderful job, excellent team.
Law offices of Rajiv Khanna did a good job in getting my labor approved. My special thanks to Richa and Suman My case is EB2 with masters. But, I got masters after joining the company. Attorneys has provided good instructions on how to get promotion on to a position requiring masters etc. It worked very well and the documentation is really good. Response to the client is quick. Overall I am satisfied with the skills.
Hi i am from Greece i had a telephone conversation with Mr Khanna about EB1 and EB2 and NIW he was very helpful explaining to me that applications for the above are quite difficult for sb that has only a masters degree hence under his guidance i decided to do an MBA and later with his help to get H1B and apply for the green card. thanks , sotiris
Immigration.com has provided fabulous service for the multiple cases that I referred to them for my firm. Their clarity in approach and domain expertise makes these elaborate process seem very simple. Staff employees are courteous and sensitive to your needs. The best part is personal attention from Mr. Rajiv Khanna to every case that I dealt with him on. Nothing but FABULOUS is my experience. All the best to Immigrations.com and the firm. Abhishek
I would like to thank Mr. Rajiv and team for the excellent service they have been providing me for my GC processing.Ours is not a straight case. Rajiv's timely legal advice, ability to analyze the situation was very helpful when we encountered numerous twists in our GC case. The staff is quick and prompt in processing filing requests, setting up appointments with attorneys when required. Many thanks to Heather, Seema and Prerna for speeding up my case - Suman.
American Indians born in Canada (with at least 50% American Indian blood) cannot be denied admission to the United States. However, a record of admission for permanent residence will be created if an American Indian born in Canada wishes to reside permanently in the United States.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is publishing a proposed rule that could save U.S. businesses more than $23 million over the next 10 years by establishing an advance registration process for U.S. employers seeking to file H-1B petitions for foreign workers in specialty occupations. The proposed electronic system would minimize administrative burdens and expenses related to the H-1B petition process—including reducing the need for employers to submit petitions for which visas would not be available under the statutory visa cap.
During my immigration processing, I have dealt with many immigration lawyers with rather disappointing results. The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna stand out in many ways for their professionalism, quality of customer service, promptness of business, profound legal knowledge and expertise, and above all, professional ethics. My case was complicated - I had an I 751 petition denied for lack of supporting evidence and did not have my US Citizen husband's support. So I wanted to get an H1 visa to be able to stay in the country. Mr. Khanna and his team members really helped me with my case by giving me a very sound advise. I found several differential advantages of Mr. Khanna and his team members: They were able to grasp and line up all the facts of my case with no confusion or room for interpretation. The did legal research for my case before giving me legal advise and BEFORE deciding whether to take my case or not. So they do not waste their clients' money. The work that they performed on my case was done very promptly without leaving me up in the air waiting for the results. The work that they did for me left me confident that I got the best legal help available on my case, which is very important as dealing with USCIS and Immigration lawyers can be very frustrating. Overall, Mr. Khanna and his team members saved me time, money, frustration, trouble, stress, and made working with them an enjoyable experience.
Mr. Khanna proved to be the best lawyer I had to deal with. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna to everyone without any doubts. I hope I will not sound too strong if I say - if there's anything that can be done on complicated immigration cases, Mr. Khanna and his team will do the best job for the best value with professionalism, honesty, ethics, and integrity that makes them markedly stand out amongst the immigration lawyers. If I ever need any legal help for my immigration, I will not go to any other place.

On February 8, USCIS posted a notification regarding the delay in processing approximately 36,000 immediate relative petitions that were transferred from the California Service Center to the Texas Service Center. In that notification, we advised that some cases were transferred back to our California Service Center to take advantage of currently available resources. We also committed to providing you with updates on our progress.
What happens if your H-1 expires before the PERM audit is cleared by DOL. Are we supposed to leave country. I have 20 months of H-1 life left to reach 6 years and my LABOR is in AUDIT status I am just wondering if I get an extension or will I be checked out of USA.
While a PERM audit or even an appeal against a denial after the audit is pending, you would still be entitled to H-1 extensions beyond six years.
After a PERM DOL certification petition has been filed for an EB-2 application for someone currently on H1-B, at what stage is it safe to change employers without affecting the application process? In other words, will change in employer mean starting the process anew?
I had a conference call with Mr. Khanna. I from India and have done my PhD. I was interested in filing for Green card through EB1 or NIW category. However, after looking at my CV he advised me that my case is not strong enough for either of the two. He said that whether I get the green card or not the lawyer will get paid, so I should be careful in selecting a category to file my green card under. This honesty really impressed me about him. I will take more legal advise before reaching a conclusion but at least Mr. Khanna was honest enough to give me his frank opinion and not take me for a ride as I have read about other attorneys / law firms. Thank you Mr. Khanna for your time !
First of all; I would like to thank the entire Team member who has worked in my case. Special Kudos goes to my case manager 'Aruna Marthi'; she did absolutely fabulous job to get me through this whole process. The time, and efforts you guys have given me the only reason of this case successful. Can you believe it, I got my whole process completed within 6 months and I-485 got approved in less than 2 months.
Thanks again for all of your efforts.
Regards:
BK
