We contacted Rajiv Khanna for advice. His whole team seemed very professional. He went through our resume free of charge to suggest if we had a case; provided us with his opinion in a very honest way. Just the week before, I tried to talk with a different immigration attorney over phone, and the first dialogue I received was, "I work for money...I can't talk to you for free..". In that regard, the response I received from Rajiv Khanna's office was pleasantly opposite! I'll refer him to any of my friend who seeks for an immigration attorney.

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.
