Dear Rajiv,
I would like to thank every one in your office who is working my green card case. The first two major steps in my green card process, Labor and 140 have been completed. Special Kudos/thanks to my case manager Aruna Marthi. She did put awesome effort in preparing my case, did necessary follow-up with INS and very patient in answering my calls with detailed information. I’d highly recommend law offices of Rajiv for every one who are looking for future green card process. Thank you all once again.
Thank you for all your assistance. After 10 years in the US and almost 5 years after filing for our green cards we can now relax and enjoy our lives. Would recommend you to anyone needing immigration assistance
Heather and Mathew were most efficient, personable and timely in the processing of the application and clarification of any doubts I had. The total time for a Schedule A worker Permanent Residency/Green Card took under 4 months from filing.
I also appreciated the reasonable payment option.

I am on H-1 Visa and my son is on H-4 visa. He is 17 years(studying 11th grade). I wanted to know whether i need to change the visa status at the age of 21.

I highly recommend Rajiv's law offices for any immigration issues. Rajiv personally looked into my case and handled it meticuliously. I really admire his attention to detail, in depth research, knowledge and prompt responses provided from time to time. My case was one of the few cases where STEM OPT was denied. From the beginning, both Rajiv Sir and Kalpana were very confident that my motion/appeal would be approved. They not only helped me with the case, but also with my appeal to expedite the case. I contacted his office numerous times over a period of 4 months and each time they patiently and promptly responded back. They are very well organized and must say best at thier work. My motion was finally approved and credit goes to Rajiv and Kalpana. I am glad I chose Law offices of Rajiv Khanna.

I sincerely thank Rajiv Khanna and his team of professionals for their work on my PERM (Labor) stage of my Green card process. I would extend my heartiest thanks especially to Subha, Roopa and Pramita who were actively involved in my case. I got my approval in 2 weeks. I would like to mention that I work for a medium sized company and this is the first time my employer was filing for permanent residency. We were patiently educated and guided through the entire process. Mr. Khanna’s team did all paperwork professionally. I am very happy with the services of The Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna and would definitely recommend them for any immigration case.
