I filed for my H 1 visa less than a month back through Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, and got the petition letter approved today. The way Rajiv and his employees' handle each case is worth appreciating. Their dedication, support and professionalism, throughout the process is commendable. I can very confidently say that the pain they took to cover even the tiniest point is worth mentioning. This is the reason why they are so successful.
As of August 7, 2009, approximately 44,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions and approximately 20,000 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.
USCIS has received 8,974 H-2B petitions for the first half of FY 2010. It has approved 8,183 and 791 are pending.

As stated by "Indian Express" :
A proposal that will hit Indian IT companies the most, US software giant Microsoft Corporation has suggested a whopping fee of USD 10,000 (over Rs 5 lakh) for a new category of H-1B visas and USD 15,000 (more than Rs 7.5 lakh) for permanent residency or Green card.
This could raise a huge USD5 billion over a decade, it said.
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.
Rajiv and his team were very swift and helpful in answering our questions related to some of the challenges we faced on non-immigrant and immigrant petitions filed through a different attorney. Rajiv is approachable and honest on what he can and cannot do.
If I do not file my petition using premium processing, how long will it be before I receive a decision from USCIS?
For an H-1B petition filed not using premium processing, it can take from two to six months before a decision is received from USCIS.
I will be completing my Bachelor's Degree in August 2013. Am I eligible to apply to submit my petition on April 1, 2013, for the 2014 H-1B quota?
All requirements towards the Bachelor’s Degree must have been met at the time of submitting the H-1B petition to USCIS.
I applied for my Initial H1-B Extension .I was scared as the USCIS was asking too many questions abiut the project,codes and othe evidences as I also received an RFE for my case. But I really want to thank Rajiv Khanna and his staff at the non-immigrant office who was very calm and prepared a point - to -point response and also Rajiv personally reviews all the responses sent to the USCIS. So my case was approved yesterday and I really appreciate thier work.
