I really appreciate Mr. Rajiv Khanna's excellent clarfication about EB3-EB2 Porting and all possible options on this case. Unless I get those relvant information, it was too difficult for me to take decision on this matter. Whenever I faced issue and asked for help, Rajivji and Prernaji always try to clarify either through email or conference call, which is very rare in today's market and I believe this is one of the reason I would recommend Rajiv Khanna's law firm for any immigration related issue. Thanks and best regards!
We represented a Computer Software Engineer and his spouse. USCIS denied the applicant’s Form I-485 because his former employer withdrew his previously approved I-140 petition when the applicant moved to a different employer.
I would like to thank Mr Khanna for his availability and his advice. Mr Khanna was kind, patient and very helpful during the course of our consultation phone call. I now feel I have a better understanding of the matters concerned with the HB1 Visa procedures. Once again, thanks very much indeed for your assistance!

Canadian TN Nonimmigrants
On Oct. 1, 2012, USCIS will begin accepting the Form I-129, Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, filed on behalf of Canadian citizens who are outside the United States and seeking classification as a TN nonimmigrant.
With respect to the TN classification, USCIS currently only accepts Form I-129 in connection with a request to extend a TN nonimmigrant’s stay or to change a nonimmigrant’s status to TN.
Mr. Khanna is very focused, and gives very accurate information. He is very flexible and warm person. It was great experience working with him and his staff. I greatly appreciate it!!

What is ability to pay wages and how do employers prove to the USCIS that they have the ability?
At the I-140 stage, USCIS requires documentation that the employer can afford the employee's proffered wage and will be able to continue doing so in the foreseeable future. In this regard, employers must prove that: (1) the employer’s taxable income is equal to or greater than the proffered wage; or (2) the employer's net current assets are equal to or greater than the proffered wage; or (3) credible verifiable evidence that the employer is not only employing the beneficiary but also has paid, or is currently paying, the proffered wage.

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.
