Thank you for the most updated and recent valuable information and expertise provided by Mr. Khanna each time we seek fro advice!
I have recently filed for H1B 8th year extension under premium processing and I got the approval in a week. Rajiv, Fran & Anna did excellent work throughout the process. I really appreciate Rajiv for his attention to detail and his thought process before filing the application. He even submitted some documents even before CIS want to think about it. Thanks again Fran and Rajiv.
