We have worked with Mr. Khanna's law firm over past 2 years for my Religious Visa and Green Card process. I found the team to be meticulous and very responsive. 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.
I'm really thankful to Mr. Rajiv Khanna for his help and advices! Not long ago a good friend of mine from Washington told me about Mr. Khanna as about the best immigration lawyer. And after the appointment with Mr. Khanna, I can say that my friend was absolutely right. Mr. Khanna is a real professional, who knows the answer to any question. More than that, he is very polite and hardworking person, who respects his customers. One more important thing, he is a realist, who considers and evaluates the chances first and doesn't waste your money and time in vain. Though, my case is not finished yet, I feel that I haven't made a mistake by deciding to work with Mr. Khanna and positively sure in successful ending of my case. I would like also to mark the professionalism of his team, his assistants Leslie and Angela were very pleasant to deal with. I wish you good health, success and Lord's blessing!

Through the program, more than 100 unpaid student volunteer assignments will be available to support DHS’ cyber mission at local DHS field offices in over 60 locations across the country.
I would like to thank Mr. Khanna and his staff, especially Prerna and Richa in handling my green card processing. They are very professional, diligent and meticulous in their work. I trust them completely, they have always advised me in my best interests from a legal stand point. I would recommend their office for any immigration related issues without hesitation and I am glad that I went to them. Their responses have been very timely and that's one less issue to worry about. Thanks again.

Rajiv was very generous in providing the right guidance in resolving my H-1B salary issues. Prior to contacting Rajiv, another immigration attorney tried to represent me on a fee basis to help reclaim my salary. Rajiv offered his free consultation over the phone. He asked to me to do it by myself with the Depart of Labor. This happended six months ago. I just got some time this afternoon to go to the SF office of the DOL. The DOL will commence an investigation, which I believe should help me get my unpaid salary. Thank you, Rajiv!
Does the USCIS make a distinction as to whether a specialist physician works in a Medically Underserved Area vs Health Professional Shortage Area versus Physician Scarcity Area? My job falls in MUA, HPSA but not PSA , is this a problem for a specialist?

Is there a direct way for me to get a green card or apply for EB-3 without my employer's support? My employer is unwilling to support me for any working visa and I am already out of the status due to this.

An H-1B petition for extension may be submitted to USCIS no more than 6 months prior to the expiration of the current H-1B status.

Finally the day has come for which I have been waiting for a long. I sincerely thanks to Rajiv and his entire team for providing me high level professional services during the entire process. I especially thanks to Amrita and Prernaji for help me so much with all required processes and answering all my queries promptly. Both of them impressed me with their thorough knowledge of process. I would recommend Rajiv and his team to all my friends without any hesitation.
