Rajiv Khanna and associates are helping me in my Green Card processing since January 2004 and recently they did a very good job to get me the I-140 approval. I received an RFE on my I-140 in Feb 09 and response was well prepared by one of the Lawyers and sent within a weeks time. I got the approval on my I-140 just after a weeks time. It was a great job and effort from the Rajiv Khanna's office and their associates. I appreciate their good work and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good immigration lawyer for their Green Card or any other immigration related work.

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) launched a Spanish-language version of I-9 Central, an online resource center designed to provide information and assistance related to the most frequently accessed form on USCIS.gov: Form I-9, Employee Eligibility Verification.
Canadian TN Nonimmigrants
On Oct. 1, 2012, USCIS will begin accepting the Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, filed on behalf of Canadian citizens who are outside the United States and seeking classification as a TN nonimmigrant.
With respect to the TN classification, USCIS currently only accepts Form I-129 in connection with a request to extend a TN nonimmigrant’s stay or to change a nonimmigrant’s status to TN.
Mr. Khanna is very focused, and gives very accurate information. He is very flexible and warm person. It was great experience working with him and his staff. I greatly appreciate it!!

What is ability to pay wages and how do employers prove to the USCIS that they have the ability?
At the I-140 stage, USCIS requires documentation that the employer can afford the employee's proffered wage and will be able to continue doing so in the foreseeable future. In this regard, employers must prove that: (1) the employer’s taxable income is equal to or greater than the proffered wage; or (2) the employer's net current assets are equal to or greater than the proffered wage; or (3) credible verifiable evidence that the employer is not only employing the beneficiary but also has paid, or is currently paying, the proffered wage.

Thank you Mr. Rajiv and his team for a prompt and supportive guidance on the whole H-1B Visa process. The team is knowlegeable, meticulous and helpful. They worked on the case keeping my interests in mind and at the same time going by the rules for a smooth visa processing. Mr Rajiv took out time to answer my questions and as well as Anna and Fran were very quick and responsive in any kind of communication that was needed from the start till the Visa was approved and also after that if I had any questions. I did not need to worry about anything during the process. I really appreciate the work they did, the support they gave and highly recommend their services for any kind of legal guidance needed.

Interview today in Seattle. Arrived 8:10am was called in at 8:30 - really nice guy reviewed my file, asked me a couple questions about my name change.
Just want to share my experience.
Application sent: June 12 2012
Applied on my own, no lawyers.
Interview Experience:
My interview was scheduled at 7:45 am on April 5th in SF. Got there 15-20 minutes early and there were probably only 10-15 others in the waiting area at the time. At about 8:15 am, an officer came out and called me. The interview was a breeze - he went through my answers in the N-400 application, made me repeat all the Yes/No answers filled in in the form.
I owe this one to this forum. Went in for the interview today. Got sworn in.
6 Questions:
1.
How soon after the case is filed can we expect a decision?
The time frames can vary, so it is hard to predict how long it will be before the cases are adjudicated. At the present time, USCIS is estimating five months to process these cases.
How long after I send in my information will the case be filed?
If everything is in order when we receive the case; i.e., job description/salary can be approved and all supporting data is in order, the case can usually be submitted to USCIS by two weeks from when the case is opened in our office.
I would like to thank Mr.Rajiv and his team (especially Anna Baker and Fran Fischer) for getting my H1B transfer with extension. It may sound simple but both my I-94 and Visa were expired for more than 240 days and my extension with the previous employer was pending with USCIS for almost 9 months. We were really impressed with the way the case was prepared and presented to the USCIS. Anna Baker and Fran Fisher was very supportive during the entire process and answering even the simplest of questions promptly. I was surprised one evening when Anna called me at 7:30 PM to discuss about the case. That shows the level of professionalism by LORK's team. I would recommend LORK for all immigration needs.
