Rajiv is undoubtedly & hands down the best immigration lawyer in the United States. He provided us the best, fair and precise advice without any interest on his part. His demeanor to help others, offering free services such as community calls and most of all his time in actively managing his website is unparalleled. You will not find a better immigration law firm than this. Thank you Rajiv for all that you do!! - Gaurav
Great help and follow through every queries from USCIS in detail. Mr. Khanna team is very helpfull. From the start of my H1 until my GC
I applied green card for me and my family through Rajiv Khanna's office and it went through successfully. Its been a great experience working with his team throughout the process. Diane Lombart was the one assigned to my case from their end. She has been very supportive, responsive and encouraging. No matter how many questions that you put or how many emails that you send, she handled all of them very patiently. She very well understands the emotions one goes through (eagerness, frustrations etc) during this process and be was very supportive during tough times. Thanks Diane for all the support!!
Rajiv Khanna took my EB2 portability case (from EB3 PD of July/2004) got all approvals. Recently I got Green Card. Earlier, I used another attorney to port EB3 but PERM was audited and then rejected. All the money invested there was a complete loss of time and money, not to mention all the frustation that comes along with any rejection. Rajiv Khanna and team are best in business. They are priced flat so they really want to take care of your case in most efficient manner. If it takes more time initially to "prep-up" for case then they want to make sure that all grounds are covered in case they are audited. Trust them! they know what they are doing. Now the big question - Rajiv Khanna or Murthy? Pretty much thats what you have been thinking anyways. My vote goes to Rajiv Khanna all the way. Why? Its very Simple, initial consulation was very direct, free and it was with Rajiv Khanna himself plus his team. Any decision made on file was consulted with Rajiv Khanna. If I ever wanted to talk to Rajiv Khanna about any thing around my case, his team would setup an appointment and I would be able to get answers in no time. Again, they charge flat fees so I never paid for any of sessions I had with Rajiv directly. His knowledge, experience and humble approach makes big difference. I am glad I don't have to go through Green Card processing again, but if I do, I would blindly pick Rajiv Khanna to guide me through again.
We have great trust in this firm and we have been receiving excellent service. We strongly suggest using services of Mr. Khanna for any immigration related cases. We wish them all the best.
I have contacted Mr. Khanna second time to evaluate my resume for appropritae green card caterogy. Since first talk I have made quite nice case and Mr. Khanna honestly told me where to improve my case. This information is really helpful! I thank Mr. Khanna for his time and all the help. regards, Mahesh
We have known Mr. Khanna and his firm for many years. We contact The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna primarily to receive expert advice on H1B petition including transfer.
Mr. Khanna is very experience counsel and his continued advice to our firm as well as our potential employees is greatly appreciated. Besides performing well at his duty, we found Mr Khanna and his team including Anna Baker to be a great source of information on H1B and more. Mr Khanna and Ms Baker are always willing to provide professional immigration advice to business owners like us over and above their normal call of duty. Hence I fully recommend Mr Khanna’s firm to provide immigration services to employers and its potential hires that may require work visa including H1B.
I would like to really thanks a lot for the guidance provided by the law office of Mr.Rajiv during my H1 extension process. In my case it was a double RFE and the whole team worked a lot to get me out of it. Finally got my H1 approved. I can strongly recommend taking services from Mr.Rajiv's law firm as I personally feel we are in safe hands.
We consulted with Mr. Rajiv Khanna on our possibilities of getting a GC through EB1. He was the first lawyer we talked to who was very honest with us and even suggested waiting for the new immigration law to be passed to make our case easier. In addtiton this was our our first phone call consultation with him and he didn't charge us for it which was amazing because my own lawyer who is doing my EB2 case charges us for an hour even for a 5 minute phone-call for any clarification. He was a refreshing change from all the lawyerswe talked to. Mr. Khanna was really interested when he talked to us and gave us honest advice which I appreciated immensely. I regret that he was recommended to us after I had already processed by EB2 application with another lawyer. I would highly recommend him to all immigrants who are looking to file for their GC. I have talked to many other lawyers in the DC metro area and by far he was the best lawyer I have talked to!
They processed H1 B very smoothly. They are very helpful and guided me very well and just within 2 weeks, i received my Approval for H1B. Thanks to FRAN FISHER.
I recently got my H1B approved. I find everyone in the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna very supportive and attentive to each detail. I would like to thank Rajiv and his team for such a good job and would strongly recommend their services to anyone. Best Wishes!

Question 1:
I am a US citizen and my mother who is in India has a ten year visitor visa that is expiring in April of next year. I would like to apply for a green card for her. What is the best way? Also she has PR Canada stamp on her passport that has expired. Will this be an issue? Can she travel?
Canadian immigration should not be an issue whether it is expired or current. Traveling within six months of the expiration of the tourist visa is no problem. A visa is merely the permission to show up at the airport. So even if you show up at the airport a day before the visa is expiring it is ok. At the airport the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers decide how long you can stay which is typically six months. So even if the visa expires the stay 1-94 should not expire. That is the important part. Entering is no problem. So first issue Canadian immigration is not an issue, visa expiring is also not an issue.
But the third point which is applying for green card is tricky. If somebody uses tourist visa to enter USA with the preconceived intention that I am going to convert to green card that can be considered to be fraud by the government. However if you enter USA and a few months later your intention changes and you want to apply for a green card that’s ok. There is a difference between preconceived intention and an intention that is formed after you enter USA.
In case if she decides to renew the visitor visa the same procedure is applied like the first time although there might be some relaxation in interview requirements. Best thing to do is to check on their website.
Question 2:
How will I know if my H-1B petition has been accepted in the quota?
You will get a receipt.
Question 3:
As my husbands H-1 expires we are moving back to India around August/September. I am exploring options to quit my job and I am also on H-1. I am looking for a smooth economical transition. I also have a tourist that is valid and can I take advantage of this.
Tourist visa will probably not help you. You have to step outside USA and get back in and it is entirely possible that CBP may not let you back in a tourist visa when you have been here so long on a H-1. As far as the economics are concerned you have to check what the Form I-539.
I sought Mr. Khanna's advice and he took all the time to listen to me and povided the required guidance. He did this even when i am not a client. I deeply appreciate his help and advice.
I had a brief phone consultation with Mr. Khanna. I found him to be very down-to-earth and personable. He had carefully reviewed the issue before the phone call and his advice was to-the-point. I will gladly recommend friends and family to seek his advice on immigration matters.
I had an introductory call with Mr Khanna regarding an H1 visa and the supporting process. Mr Khanna was extremely knowledgeable and gave me some great guidance regarding the requirements and timing. I look forward to working with him and his team in the future.
Rajiv Khanna Law offices is a very professional unit of people who help you right on the point. The best service and clear distinction offered by them stands in the way they present the case as it is and also with the right kind of knowledge in the limited amount of time available to make a decision. I am grateful for their truthful advise on my travel during H1B approval.
