The following questions were asked in today's community conference call. I feel the answers should be of use use to many folks.
We have worked with Mr. Khanna's law firm over past 3 years for my Green Card process. I found the team to be meticulous and very responsive. Recently I had to switch employers while my I-485 was still outstanding. Mr. Khanna's team had no obligation to provide any counsel, since I would not be their client anymore. Despite that, they made themselves available to answer the questions during uncertain times, so that I would any missteps in this often confusing process. I believe Mr. Khanna's law firm offers more than just handling of the legal process. They go above and beyond to create a sense of community and offer a great service to folks dealing with varying immigration circumstances. It's a comforting feeling to know that you have Mr. Khanna's firm by your side.
