It has been a great experience with Mr. Khanna's office. The law office executives and Managers are highly helpful, meticulous, providing assistance even to the simplest query.I would always recommend their service for any immigration assistance.

I am reporting here comments from and my responses to a member of our community, "Julissa," regarding whether or how she could apply for a green card herself if she has a Master's degree. Do note, if a set of new immigration laws gets passed, all this could change.

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas have outlined a series of policy, operational, and outreach efforts to fuel the nation's economy and stimulate investment by attracting foreign entrepreneurial talent of exceptional ability or who otherwise can create jobs, form startup companies, and invest capital in areas of high unemployment.
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.

Each month, the Visa Office subdivides the annual preference and foreign state limitations specified by the INA into monthly allotments based on totals of documentarily qualified immigrant visa applicants reported at consular posts and CIS Offices, grouped by foreign state chargeability, preference category, and priority date. If there are sufficient numbers in a particular category to satisfy all reported documentarily qualified demand, the category is considered "Current." For example: If the monthly allocation target is 3,000 and there is only demand for 1,000 applicants, the category wi
I am back once again in the client feedback forum to express my appreciation and thanks to Rajiv and Savita for their brilliant and extra ordinary work they did for my I-140 (EB1 Multination Company Manager/Executive) My case needed all their brilliance and ability because I dont work for a well known company and my company is a small business with operations in 2 countries. Off late I have been getting irritated with a few of my friends if they hire any other lawyer other than Rajiv and I am now very much convinced that I am right. I sincerely thank Rajiv, Savita and everyone at their offices for their excellent and efficient services.
