I wanted to take this opportunity to write about my experience with in regards to the interaction with Mr. Rajiv Khanna's Law firm. I consulted with Mr. Rajiv and explained my situation to him.
Scenario My case was complicated in nature , in the sense, that my attorney who applied for my GC was fired from my company and when priority date became current, I could not proceed without the I-140 Physical copy which was needed to fill out the various immigration forms. As a applicant caught in between an attorney and my company, I was basically left in the lurch and was told that without I-140 physical copy, I wont be able to apply for my I-485.
After waiting for 10 years in line, this was not what I wanted to hear.
Hence I got in touch with immigration.com and spoke to Mr. Rajiv. I want to say this, in the first 5 minutes of the conversation, I knew I can apply for the i485 with all the documents that I have and could request I-140 through FOIA. Mr. Rajiv talked to me in such a manner that I got my confidence back which I had lost with my own attorneys from my company.
I was told about the process and Mr Rajiv, explained to me how to deftly (Practically and Kindly) to handle the attorneys of the company to get what I wanted from them without ruffling feathers (AKA Ego's).
I made notes while have the consultation and I executed what I was advised.
The wealth of information and the confidence he gave me are the only reasons why I was able to handle the stress that I was going through that day.
All in All, It worked out and I got what I wanted.
For all of that, I am humbly grateful.
Om Sai Ram, Vijay
