The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables nationals of 36 participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business (visitor [B] visa purposes only) for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. The program was established in 1986 with the objective of eliminating unnecessary barriers to travel, stimulating the tourism industry, and permitting the Department of State to focus consular resources in other areas. VWP eligible travelers may apply for a visa, if they prefer to do so.
Hi ALL It took me sometime to write this comment, because it was hard to find the words to express my admiration and satisfaction with this winning Law office, especially my Case Team (Amrita and Seema). I come from a background that I had few failures with other offices; Needless to say, I lost both Money and Time. When I moved my case to this office, I thought it was a little more Money than I paid before. Also, the process seemed a little slow, because my Case Managers was very careful and cautious about every detail. They always said, we look at the long term implications, not to have you pass the PERM and fail in the next steps. Frankly, I felt bad sometimes because of the time spent to get everything perfect. Here come the surprise, when they finally submitted my case, I got approved within 72 Hours. it was obviously shocking unbelievable surprise. This result made appreciate they way the case was prepared and the time spent. That being said, this office worth every penny paid and more. I'm really impressed with my Case Managers (Amrita and Seema). Amrita, Seema, Thank you very much for all what you done. Looking forward to applying I140, I485 with your office. Everybody out there, forget about your law office you are using, go with immigration.com, these people know what they are doing! Thanks all Emad Girgis
Awesome service. No problems at all. Case got approved in less than expected time.
Entire staff at Rajiv Khanna law firm is very helpful especially Diane Lombardo. My green card petition got approved and i received my green card. Many many thanks Mr.Rajiv Khanna and Diane Lombardo.
I would like to thank the law offices of Rajiv S. Khanna with getting 129f petition approved. Also with my case manager Ursula with explaining each step of the process and answering all of my questions. I would have been lost with all of that paperwork without their help.

Everyone was so prompt in answering my questions. I would strongly recommend the services of this firm, great job!
I was working with Mathew all along from labor to finish the green card process. They are very professional and very very helpful. I recommend to every body confidently to go to Rajiv S Khanna office for any immigration needs. I personally like Mathew the way he dealt and helped me answering every small concern.
They are awesome.

This is great . I got my Labor certified within 6-7 working days. I would like to Thank Pramita Shidhore who was handling my case , for doing an excellent work and to keep me updated on the status. I use to get response to all my question almost immediately. I was confident when I decided to go through Rajiv Khanna for my GC process that every thing will flow smoothly and this confirms it. I highly recommend Mr.Khanna's office and staff for all immigration purposes.
The very next day , when my Labor was certified , I got call from Tarun Sharma whose Handling my I140 case, giving me all the details about I140 process and answering all my questions . This is really great , no waste of time and every things move very fast.
We got our GC approved on June 5th, 2007 and the cards were received within a week. The journey was long with several roadblocks. The expertise of Mathew Chacko did the trick. His commitment to excellence and above par communication always made me feel at ease. I knew a professional is handling the case. The fee was so reasonable. Our earlier attorneys were more interested in prepayments than service. Mathew's knowledge and expertise on immigration matters is remarkable. I would strongly recommend the services of this firm.
I had my first H1 petition and subsequent H1 renewal processed through the Law offices of Rajiv Khanna. I strongly recommend these folks for any immigration related issues as they go about the business in a very professional and sincere way. My case manager for H1 renewal was Mr. Chris Harman and I very much appreciate his quick responses and clarity in responses to multiple questions that I had posed. We are very thankful for all the help and have no doubt will come to your office for any immigration related matters. Please keep up the good work and the excellent website. Best regards.

Any lawful permanent resident (LPR) or a conditional resident (CR) must present an admission document like special immigrant visa (obtained at consulate abroad), green card or reentry permit upon entry to the U.S. after their temporary trip abroad. In the absence of such document he/she is considered inadmissible. If the LPR or CR seeks admission to the U.S. after more than one year since her departure from USA, the green card may not be sufficient to allow them back into the United States.
USCIS has reached the congressionally-mandated 65,000 H-1B visa cap for fiscal year 2019. USCIS has also received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to meet the 20,000 visa U.S. advanced degree exemption, known as the master’s cap.
