Rajiv and team are just awesome! I must mention Heather for her personal attention! You guys have been personally reviewing my questions/concerns and giving a valuable suggestion right from the start!
Thank you guys!
Our software company has worked with Rajiv and his staff for 2 years on various visa applications (H1B, L1, EB2) and couldn't be more pleased. The entire staff is professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and friendly. Rajiv is never too busy to have a call to provide updates & recommendations, and even just to put employees at east during these most stressful times. I highly recommend the Law Office of Rajiv S. Khanna.
I would like to thank Bharathi Gajjala for her efforts on my I-140 and I-485. Case got approved with out any RFE.
Thank you Rajiv and staff for helping me out with my GC process. Its been a long 12 year journey and i am glad that i was represented by one of the top immigration attorney offices. Every single application from H1, Labor, 140, 485, and then all the EAD's in between were handled so professionally.
A special thanks to Art, Heather, and Mathew for being so prompt in answering my questions.
I highly recommend everyone to use Law offices of Rajiv. S Khanna, for all the immigration matters.
Thanks,
Siva Kanumuri
Mr. Khanna, I would like to thank you and your staff for all of your direction, guidance and support throughout my green card journey. It was a bumpy ride with lots of barriers but the outcome was fruitful. I somehow forgot to share my feedback on the bestest services I received from your legal team and I sincerely apologize for that. Your firm really did an amazingly thorough and professional job and Words cannot give any appreciation justice. Thanks much to Bharathi, she was superbly positive, efficient and professional. I could not have wished for a better person to have dealt with it and the service I have received from you has been excellent. You have kept me well informed and up to date with everything. I would always refer your firm if the need ever arises for any legal assistance. Once again my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for you and everyone else worked on my case.
Best Regards
Anup
My parents are getting ready to file their N400 naturalization application online soon. Here is their situation :
They got their Green Card ( I sponsored them) in April 2013. They have made four trips to India , two of which were less than 32 days. However one trip in 2013-2014 was for 204 days but this trip is outside of the 5year look-back period now. They took another trip in in August 2014 ,returning in March 2015 for a total of 193 days outside. They had to stay back longer due an unexpected health issue when my mom had to undergo surgery. They have paid filed their tax returns as a resident for every year since getting their GC even-though they do not owe any taxes - they do have some passive income in India. They do live with me and while they have bank account there are not many transactions in it. Also they have medical coverage through ACA where they get premium assistance. Would 5 years of tax returns along with medical documents that show my Mom's diagnosis and surgery followed by physiotherapy be sufficient to overcome the presumption of abandonment of residence in US because they stayed about 13 days more than 180 during their trip in 2014-2015 ?

I took consultation with Rajiv Sir twice. In few words, I would say he is excellent in his knowledge and he really reads your case, tries to understand it before he talk to you over the phone. My case is very much complicated ( labor substitution, EB2, concurrent filing, previous comp filed chapter 7, new comp filed another GC with different salary and job duties...etc).
During my first consultation, I asked same set of questions (10 - 15) from both Rajiv Sir and Sheela Murthy but I got all my queries answered with satisfaction and piece of mind only from Rajiv Sir.
During my 2nd consultation, due to dynamic nature of my queries, discussion needed more time than scheduled and Rajiv Sir gave me another slot free of charge to give me right direction before closing discussion thread with him.
Finally, I would say his fees is highest amoung all lawyers I have met but is worth paying as it gives you piece of mind at the end.
Hi, My experience with 'Law office of Rajiv S. Khanna' was very satisfying so far related to my EB2 Green card. I made a point to write this on the service provided so far by their employee Mark for process my AOS. He was very prompt and efficient during the process of filing, I sincerely appreciate his professionalism and the same for the Law firm. Thank you.
I hired attorney Khanna for my I-140 case in EB1 category and worked with Diane Lombardo for my case. She gave me immediate feedback on whatever question i have. I filed in premium processing and got my case approved within 2 weeks. I will say She prepared a strong case for me. Thanks to Diane and Rajiv Khanna.
Heather initiated my PERM process and handled it so professionally that it felt like in Immigration University.She explained each and every step of the process throughly enough to leave discussion without any doubts what so ever.My case had some special bumps on the way to I-140,which needless to mentioned was again handled with top most priority. Mark took over the last step of filling 485 and cleared with flying colors.I have GC approved in 4 months time from submission to Card in hand after dates became current. It is worth to mention about availability of Mr Khanna on coneference calls,as and when needed without any delay when certain key decisions were needed throughout the journey of 5 years. Honestly..I had many mis-conceptions about attorneys and associates about lack of professionalism and transparency.Thanks Rajiv,Heather and Mark for proving me wrong. Mr Rajiv,Your office reputation is in good hands. Highly recommended !!
I had an accident and am on disability while my green card adjustment of status application ( form I-485 ) has been pending for over 4 years. My I-140 had been approved about 5 years back but my case has been caught up in the visa backlogs at USCIS and Department of State. I wanted to know if there was any provision for help in the immigration laws, in case I am sent for long term disability or my employment is terminated before I receive my green card. I learnt that employment and disability are subjects to be discussed with a benefits or employment attorney. The only immigration benefits are via AC 21 or via a private bill. Also, that one should not loose the advance parole anytime while the AOS is pending. I want to thank Mr. Rajiv Khanna for his generosity with time and expert guidance. Over the phone I found him to have a very pleasant personality. he had me feel comfortable and didnt seem money minded at all.
I am quite thankful to Rajiv Khanna and his staff for getting Green Card to me and my wife. The case manager for my case is Bharati. She handled my case very well and huge kudos to her in getting the GC. Bharati is quite knowledgable in immigration matters. She responded to all my questions quickly. Her response time is very qucik. She applied Labor Certification, I-140, 485 and EAD Renewals. She is quite friendly and good going to work with. I am very thankful to Bharati for her continous support through out the Green Card Process. Thanks once again to Rajiv S Khanna, Mathew for getting my Green Card approved. Appreciate all your help.
Thanks a lot for all your efforts in helping me get to this stage in my immigration journey. Me and my spouse received our green cards last weekend. The journey started back in 2006. I have had a totally professional experience with Rajiv's team. Hope I did not miss anyone who has helped me in this journey. I would like to sincerely thank Pramita, Vani, Mathew, Rita, Bharathi and above all Rajiv for all your efforts. My special thanks to Prerna Mehta for answering all my queries patiently for the last 4 years.
Consultation I received was instrumental in helping me make a vital decision with regards to career change. Thank you!
I am a US citizen who Sponsored my fathers green card in 2010. His green card is expiring oct 2020. He had to stay in India since Jan 2019 due to health conditions. With the Covid pandemic situation and his age (81) and health conditions, he is not able to travel back to the united States before the green card expiry. My father does not have any family in India to take care of him and will have to come here so that my brother and I can take care of him. What are our options for avoiding the expiry of the green card? Secondly, is there a 60 day extension on the expiry date due to Covid 19?
You should try to get in touch with the consulate and send them emails, etc., asking them their guidance and that way you have at least some proof that you are trying to get back into the USA on time, but if it goes past one year it can't be helped, you can always start a new green card if you like, not too many options here.

I worked with Rajiv and Diane for my EB1-B greencard petition. The initial consultations with Rajiv were a big help in understanding my eligibility (I have a PhD and work as a scientist at a Biotech company) and the paperwork required for the petition. Diane’s amazing organizational skills made the daunting process of preparing the I-140 petition very manageable. The I-140 was approved within a week of submission which is a testament to how thoroughly prepared it was. Due to the dates for EB1 India being retrogressed, the I-485 (adjustment of status) process took 3 years during which the office helped me with switching jobs via AC21 portability, renewing three EAD/AP cards and answering any questions that I may have had. The sense of urgency and empathy from both Diane and Rajiv at every step is what makes them the best at what they do. They are of course also incredibly knowledgeable and in step with all the various changes that have rapidly occurred in immigration. My husband and I finally have our green cards and we can’t thank the team at the Law offices of Rajiv S. Khanna enough for everything they do.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to Rajiv, Leslie and everyone else at the Law Offices of Rajiv S Khanna for the excellent work done on my Green Card case. We received approvals for our I-485s yesterday and are delighted! Mine was a case requiring porting of priority dates from EB3 to EB2 and Rajiv's firm did an excellent job of that. They are very response to my queries and have an excellent system in place to support us thru all phases of the GC process. They are also cutting edge in terms of using technology. Excellent firm and would definitely recommend it. Thanks!!
Excellent work by the team of Immigration.com.
Rajiv has been of incredible help to me for the last few years. I'd applied for the 485 Adjustment of Status and it looked like I'd be stuck in the queue for years before my greencard arrived. So, as I thought about my career, I decided to go back to school for a Ph.D. However, I was told by most everyone that getting an F-1 visa to go back to school would be very difficult. Rajiv gave me excellent advice to still go ahead and apply for the F-1 -- I ended up getting it with no trouble whatsoever. As the years went by, I then ended up getting the greencard as well -- Rajiv has been really helpful in letting me know the specific requirements (in terms of the job classifications, travel etc) related to obtaining permanent residency. I have been following his advice and I have been really pleased -- he's been absolutely accurate in all of his advice and I'm certainly counting on him in times to come as well.
Rajiv and his team are simply awesome. Rajiv knows the subject matter and is very thorough with all the rules and regulations. I was impressed with the humility, simplicity and honesty.
I was assisted by DIane Lombardo a colleague and team member of Rajiv, who was diligent, detailed, prompt and persistent. Diane is highly focussed, paid attention to minute details and analytical. Diane always responded to calls and emails within 2 hours, and referred the matter to Rajiv, whenever required for specialist advice. A great team indeed. Anna Baker also was involved in the coordination and I did see that Anna made extra efforts to ensure all documentations are perfect.
I highly recommend Rajiv and team for all immigration related work.
My first experience with Rajiv's Law firm..
Right from Day one the service was excellent.. Clear explanations in each step along the way. Very professional.
Follow up on each items were on right time.
Really happy with the way my PERM process was handled and would recommend to anyone. Couldn't ask more
Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, is one of "THE BEST LAW FIRMS" to work on your immigration issues. My case was very complicated and attorney worked very diligently in resolving my case and getting I-140 Approved and also H1B case. The attorneys and paralegals are very easy to get to and respond to your needs immediately. This is essential for your case to be "Successful". I especially appreciated your attention to detail and prompt responses from "Rajiv" and Heather working on my case. They are very knowledgeable, creative and well determined and excellent quality of work and well documenting the process towards success. I have no words to say much how I am thankful to Rajiv. I would highly recommend Rajiv to anyone who required help with immigration related issues. "AWESOME!"
I have been working with Prerna and Mr. Khanna for several months now to convert my EB3 to EB2. They have been very responsive each time and I really appreciate that when it comes to big firms. In the past, my trouble with other firms were with responsiveness. I would give 5 out of 5.
For immigration need, so far I have got prompt help whenever I ask for. Thank you very much Heather, Mark and Attorney Rajiv.
Its been a long journey that started with completion of masters (F1) visa and today receiving green card (GC). I have been with Rajiv ji and his team since the beginning of my immigration journey (F1(OPT) -> H1 -> H1 Ext.-> Perm -> I140 -> I765 -> I485).
As said by everyone else here in the guestbook i also concur with all the things.
Firstly, they know what they are doing and are best at it. They have a solid knowledge about all the immigration rules, jargon, what can cause potential problem in future and how to handle the complexities a case has.
Secondly, very professional, prompt replies and free consultations. One thing that i liked is that they all are very easy to reach including Rajiv ji itself and that helps a lot in calming down the immigration anxieties of clients.
Best wishes to you and your team.
