My interaction with Rajiv dates back to March 1999. I was in a very difficult situation, had to change employer in the first one month of my entry into US. I was not on the payroll, as a result I did not have paystubs. Rajiv helped with a 60 day rule, filed my H1 B petition within first 60 days of my entry in US, at an unbelievable pace. The best part, Rajiv’s unique insight and understanding of the law and applying to specific immigration situation., I am a US citizen and living the American dream as a first generation American of Indian origin. Last seven years I have been running a company. When I look back in time, the best thing I did was to seek the right professional help. For any immigration needs the only name that comes to my mind is the law offices of Rajiv, S Khanna. Ganesh Venkatraman

Richa Narang was handling my case and did an excellent job. My labor certification was denied just few days before one of the paper ad expired. It was denied because my employer did not respond to the questionnaire sent from USDOL. Based on Richa's advise we were able to give an ad within next couple of days. She also find that my wage was expired just before refiling. She talked to concerned people and got one for me just few minutes before their COB that day (next day was a national holiday) and refiled successfully late in that evening. And my labor certification was approved within next few days. I had been waiting for several years to hear this news in this country.
I really appreciate and thank Richa and her team for this excellent work.
I would like to thank and appreciate the help and dedication showed by Rajivji, Sumanji, Mathewji, Richaji, Prernaji and Vaniji for their tireless support and excellent suggestions during the whole green card processing, SPECIALLY during I-485 filling.
May God Bless You All!
Thanks and regard,

I contacted the Law Offices of Mr. Rajiv S. Khanna for secondary advice in regards to my and my husband's green card process and filing of G-639. Via telephone conference I received helpful advice, more detailed information and clarification than I had received from my other lawyer. I found Mr. Khanna very knowledgeable. I wish I had come to Mr. Khanna's office at the start of my green card process. I strongly recommend his service. /EAB
