This comment for Law Offices of Rajiv Khanna should be written 3 years ago. Sorry for the delay. My case was one of the most complicated and long-shot cases, regarding the fact that I was a diplomat in USA and my wife, as a diplomat Spouse (A-1 dependant) found a unique opportunity to work as a Senior Developer in a big company. After company's decision to sponsor my wife for GC, we didn't want to go with company law department, but instead decided to apply to Mr. Khanna and his staff to lead and guide us through the process. The reason for our choice was positive recommendations and all those admires happened to be true that my wife was able to get her GC in 6 months. Because of my diplomatic position, we were advised to hold my case and activate it when I was back home. We left US in 2008, activated my file by 2009, and as of 2011 my wife, our 3 y/o son and myself turned back to USA as permanent residents, thanks to Mr. Khanna and his proffessional staff which followed every detail and filing efforts precisely. We will definitely ask their assistance for our naturalization process.

In today's scenario, H1B approval with out any RFE becomes extremely difficult. With the excellent documentation work from this team, dream becomes true and H1B transfer approved with out RFE in just 4 days. This team reviewed all the documents line by line and made necessary changes, this is something new and unique, have not seen with any attorney so far. Kudos to the team.
Special thanks to Bharathi for taking our calls and queries at all times.
Highly professional team, with excellent support to the customers. I strongly and Highly recommend this team for all your immigration needs.
