I had a brief phone consultation with Mr. Khanna. I found him to be very down-to-earth and personable. He had carefully reviewed the issue before the phone call and his advice was to-the-point. I will gladly recommend friends and family to seek his advice on immigration matters.
Since March 4, 2013, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has been accepting applications for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers (Form I-601A). USCIS, however, rejected many of these applications because customers did not provide proof that the required Immigrant Visa Application Fee was paid to the U.S. Department of State (DOS).
REMINDER: USCIS cannot accept a Form I-601A unless it includes evidence that the applicant paid the Immigrant Visa Application Fee to DOS.
Please make sure you:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that the automation of Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record is now effective which will streamline the admissions process for individuals lawfully visiting the United States. Form I-94 provides international visitors evidence they have been lawfully admitted to the U.S. which is necessary to verify alien registration, immigration status, and employment authorization.
I had an introductory call with Mr Khanna regarding an H1 visa and the supporting process. Mr Khanna was extremely knowledgeable and gave me some great guidance regarding the requirements and timing. I look forward to working with him and his team in the future.
We have just received our first H-1 quota receipt notice. That indicates the H-1 lottery is concluded.

FAQs: EB-1C (International Managers and Executives): Eligibility for H-1B managers in the USA
Rajiv and Diane are the best immigration lawyers I've worked with in my 12 years in the US, across the several firms I've worked with over the years. I worked with them on my O-1 visa. Processing timeline delays with my PERM application nearly threatened my work authorization in the US. Rajiv and Diane worked on a tight timeline expeditiously not only to get my O-1 visa approved but also to get my green card approved, all within 6 months. This is the fastest timeline I have seen - they are a great team!
I had a great experience dealing with Rajiv Khanna ji's office. My US EB1A petition received amazing support. Being proactive and meticulous, Diane in his office is a terrific expert to deal with. I-140 approval went through a smooth process from start to finish. Rajiv ji's accessibility made sure I could make the proper choices when I needed to. Although at first I thought Rajiv ji was being unreasonable in asking that I gather and submit all the documents for the petition, I came to see that his demands were there to ensure my success. Rajiv ji's office is unquestionably the best place to go if you want to meet your US Visa milestones on schedule. I'm grateful to you, thank you Rajiv Ji.
I sought Mr. Khanna's advice and he took all the time to listen to me and povided the required guidance. He did this even when i am not a client. I deeply appreciate his help and advice.
