I am doing my GC through your offices. In fact most of our employees from my company are doing their GC through your company. I was the first one and have referred quite a bit of my colleagues because they are well organized and well responsive the 2 main things that we can control, rest are controlled by USCIS. Good team of people and Vijay Durgam has helped me through this tough process and has been a great case manager for me. So did Anna Baker who has helped me with H1B related things though my H1B is not processed through Rajiv's office, they have always helped me. Great show team. Thanks to Rajiv and Team.

Few years back I entrusted my GC processing with Mr. Rajiv Khanna. The professionalism and prompt support extended by the entire team was so very impressive. This lead me file the GC’s of my employees when I started my software consulting firm. Over the years I have see the professionalism and focused attention each case is getting increase. Last week we filed PERM for another employee and support Seema and Amrita gave is really commendable
The professionalism and prompt support extended by Seema and Amrita gave is really commendable.
This firm takes client service to the next level. Rajiv's firm worked with me the first time for an H1B 3 years back. I had a great experience that time.
They have done it again this time for my Labor cert. Amrita and Seema worked on PERM with me and Amrita called me on a SATURDAY to inform me of the approval. Only 2 days after the filing! They pay attention to every detail and know their stuff.
Thank you Amrita, Seema and everyone at Mr. Khanna's office.
Seema and Amrita were extremely helpful in my process and they did everything on time. Good job!
Thanks and Regards.
My I-485 petition was filed just couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to appreciate the work Tarun Sharma did for my petition and the prompt responses.

Just came to know from the USCIS website that our I485 petitions have been approved and cards have been ordered. I want to thank each and every member of your firm who were with me through this long road that took 4 years and 7 months to travel . My sincere thanks to Richa Narang, Helen Anchillo, Kumuda Prasad, Attorney Jitesh Mallik and Attorney Mathew Chacko for handling various stages of our application process in the most efficient and professional ways possible. We call ourselves permanent residents today only because of the help and guidance that you provided and we sincerely appreciate your services. Specifically I would like to mention the promptness and efficiency that was shown by the team in responding to the I-140 RFE. During this past 5 years, there was never an email or a phone call that went unanswered from your office. That really shows how professional you are as a team.
My sincere thanks to you Mr. Khanna, for all the help and guidance that you
gave us through out the application process. You were always ready to answer all my questions (whether GC related or not) and I really appreciate all the help that you provided.

Question: I have been in the U.S since 2017, and my F1 visa expires this month due to the 5 year validity period.
Answer: First of all, unless you are traveling, you do not have to renew your visa. If the visa expires while you're still completing your course, it's absolutely no problem.

I am currently working at a company in India. I am eligible to claim Employee Stock Option (ESOPS) on 17th August 2022. However, I will be landing in Dallas, USA on 10th August on F-1 Visa (For Fall 22). The company will still offer those ESOPs, but the official relieving date will be on 17th August. From 9th August onwards till 17th August, I will be on Loss of Pay Leave i.e (unpaid leave). I am worried that situation would create a conflict with my F-1 visa status.
1. I want to know whether this is legal as I will be employed at a company in India for 7 days after arrival in the U.S. on an F-1 visa.
2. Whether this will cause problems in future when I apply for OPT or H-1B or even EB-3 as my previous employment end date is 7 days after arrival in the U.S.?
1. It appears that you are getting a benefit based on the work you have already done. You will NOT be performing any "new" work for the Indian company.
2. I do not see this as an issue.

If I request a name change on form N400, will it take longer to adjudicate the case? Is the name change processed by the adjudicating officer or by a judge?
It can take longer. The USCIS notes:
You can legally change your name after filing your application for naturalization with USCIS. If your name has changed after you filed a naturalization application, you must promptly provide USCIS with the document(s) that legally changed your name(s), such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, court order, or other official record. Make sure to mention your name change and bring the documents related to your name change at the time of the interview.

Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv in the article:
According to Rajiv S Khanna, Managing Attorney at Immigration.com, “There may not be a second H-1B lottery this year. The USCIS has electronically issued several ‘non-selection’ notices, which is a step taken only when there will be no more lotteries.”

My Wife and Kid have an appointment to get stamped on H4 as i have a valid H1 till Jan2023 and I am in USA. Now I just received a notification that my EAD card is approved for my GC. Will this impact in any way for my Wife and Kid's H4 Stamping?
Your H-1B remains valid as long as you do not use the EAD. Mere approval of an EAD has no impact.

I started my relationship with Rajiv and team from 2000. They were with me all the time from 2000 to 2006 for whole journey of 6 years in my green card processing.
Half way through my company changed its name forced to start all over again and then went with the many hick ups due to my employer ( a start up company) going up and down. Rajiv team was with me to help me to resolve the issues. Finally my green card is approved after 4 EAD extensions. Thanks for the advice and constant help from Rajiv's team. I could have lost this battle long back with out your help. Once again Thanks for making it happen
