Excellent and Timely job by Aruna, Prerna & Bhrathi And Timely & Accurate advice by "The Big" Mathew. We got our anxiety put to rest in respect of our daughter's college admission with pending GC. last night we got our "card production ordered" email from CRIS. Today we are truly global residents with Indian background, New Zealand citizenship and now PR of United States. Thanks to R Khanna and his incredible staff and ofcourse my employer Multivision Inc. who have supported throughout the GC process going beyond the business.

It has been a long journey from Jan 2004 when my labor was filed. I want to convey my sincere thanks to TARUN he filed my I140 and I485. Tarun is very prompt in response,very helpful and very patient in answering all my questions.
Law Office of Rajiv S. Khanna is best immigration firm. I strongly recommend the "Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna" to my friends and family.
My company did the right thing by getting Rajiv Kanna's office to work with GC,Just want to share my experience with you all.
I got my RFE for I 140 on the May 23 rd and Tarun Sharma promtely directed me to sheena gill without any time delay and From that time I was really amazed by sheena responded to my RFE and the extra mile she went on each aspect for my case and the Rfe was filed on the June'18 th and I got my I 140 approved on the June'20 th.I am really glad that my company choose Rajiv's firm and I am very thankfull to all of his staff.Looking fwd to work with you all in the future.

I got excellent advice from Rajiv for my problem of wanting to go back to school after having filed for my green card. The whole team was very efficient with handling my sufficient request for H1B transfer so I can go to school while working on an H1 visa.
Great work and many thanks!
Rita and Suman ji have been very prompt and helpful with my Green Card process. I got my I 140 approved last week! The team at Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna is the best.
My I-140 was denied because of some issues with educational evaluation (B.Sc(Tech) equivalence to B.E) that was done with my first H1. We worked closely with Rajiv ji and Sheena ji in getting the issue resolved. We filed an appeal notice with a new detailed educational evaluation and got the I-140 approval with in 15-20 days. My I-485 that was also denied was also returned to pending status. I was very happy with the whole experience and the way the issue was handled and resolved.
I would like to thank Sheena ji and Rajiv ji for the pleasant and swift way the appeal process was handled.
I am very satisfied the way my case was handled by Mr. Rajiv Khanna. I specially want to thank Anna and Francesca for their effort and availability whenever I had issue with any paper format or so.
I will definitely have you(Mr. Rajiv Khanna) process any of my future legal issues.
I have applied for 485 as the primary applicant and my wife is the secondary applicant. Right now both of us are on H1 visa. We had applied for EAD and AP and intend to apply for renewal soon as we near 120 days.
I am on my 7th year of H1 and my wife is on 2nd year of H1 and 3 year of (H1 and H4 combine). Her current H1 expires on April 2010.
I intend to remain on H1 itself and have no intentions of using my EAD.
Can you please clarify these questions.
Qo1. Would it be advisable for my wife(secondary applicant) to change to EAD in case she gets a better employment with another employer? This employer is not willing to transfer H1.
Ans. That should be fine.
Qo2. All that is required to work on EAD is fill in form I-9 and submit a copy of EAD with it. Does the employer have to do anything like notifying USCIS etc?
Ans2. The employer has to do nothing more than prepare the I-9 and keep updating it every time new EAD is issued.
My friend lost his job on Friday when he was working on EAD (this is not the employer who has applied for GC). His i-140 was approved last year in May. He is looking for new job which would take couple of weeks. I have following question for the situation:
Q1. Is there any limit or restriction for number of days without work between changing job?
Ans. No. I do not believe a few weeks should make a difference.
Q2. Will this impact his GC process?
Ans. Not as long as he is eligible for AC21 portability.
Can a PERM case be filed through a company that is owned or controlled by a relative of the beneficiary?
The answer is yes, BUT, the case is likely to be very closely scrutinized and may even require supervised recruitment. That means, USDOL will most likely ask us to place advertisements again under their direct supervision. So, we could end up repeating the advertising. This could cause delays (and of course even denial).
This question had come up a few weeks earlier also. I wanted to clarify this with the USDOL so we wrote to them. Our letter and their response is attached.
Qo. If an AOS (adjustment of status or I-485) applicant has already used up six years on H1 and is currently in 8th year of H1, what are his/her options if AOS gets denied before the 8th year on H1 expires?
Ans. A lot depends upon the grounds of denial and whether they are likely to be overturned on a Motion to Reopen/Reconsider. Do note, there is no appeal against a 485 denial.

Good job by Vijay Durgam! The labor was certification was pretty quick. Just took us about 2 months to get certified. We had an extremely busy schedule when we applied for the LC and did not have enough time to go over the paper work and other stuff.
Vijay thoroughly prepared the documentation and provided us with just the right information we needed.
Thanks,
