Rajiv and his firm have represented my company for several years. They provided the entire suite of immigration services including the preparation work, H-1B, green card approvals (I-140, I-485) for several of my employees successfully. Rajiv, and his team under his guidance, provided exceptional service and personal attention to all our company cases and successfully won the approvals in all the cases. Quality, personal attention and diligent follow ups to ensure successful case completion are some of their hallmarks. I would gladly and highly recommend Rajiv and his firm to anyone looking for immigration related services.

AAO Sustains Appeal in EB-1 Outstanding Researcher Case

Petitioner is a university that sought to employ the beneficiary permanently in the United States as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Biostatistics. In this respect, the university sought to classify the beneficiary as an outstanding researcher pursuant to section 203(b)(1)(B) of the INA. USCIS initially denied the petition on the grounds that the beneficiary had not achieved the outstanding level of achievement required for being classified as an outstanding researcher.

I have engaged Rajiv's office for over 10 years now for many different reasons. I've also been recommending Rajiv's law offices to my aquaintences & friends for over 10 years now. I have very close examples of people who lost 3-5 years going to some other lawyer & later, at  my advise, going through Rajiv's office, who somehow 'fixed everythin' ???? Rajiv once told me ... ' why do you want to engage my office? this is so simple, you can do it yourself and save some money..."  if you expect more from a lawyer... you are crazy!!!!! For Rajiv, its not about the money... he REALLY wants to 'do the right thing'. Rajiv provided me guidance for a new case - at no cost just because I was a old client -  & literally advised me I could save money by doing the work myself - it was very simple. I was infact, ready to pay him or some other lawyer 100s of $s because this was a inquiry near & dear to me. There is no better example of honesty & forthrighness ( i've dealt with many lawyers in my lifetime & if you have a better example, I'd certainly like to hear it) .  I'd ( & have already ) recommend Rajiv for his unparalleled knowledge & honesty in a instant & have also, personally, gone back to him time and again - H1B , family visas, family GC, company visas etc etc etc - again & again......its a no-brainer for me... & yeah.. I'd put my money where my mouth is.... --DJ

L-1A holders trying for EB-1

Question details

I have 6 years experience with the same company with 4 years experience in US itself. I am on L1A visa and I have only a 4 year Bachelor Computer Science engineering degree. What GC category will I fall under?

L-1A holders should try under EB1. You could be done in a year.

Green card for L1-B or L1-A holders

Question details

I currently have a L1-B visa and I'd like to know if the company where I work(a Brazilian company where I did work for 2 years, one of them in a managerial position before coming to the U.S in 2009) could apply to change my status from L1-B to L1-A at the same time as filing my GC application.
The company is a giant in Brazil with 600 employees but we are still starting the operations in the U.S and I'm the only employee here.

Smaller companies can have a tough time getting an L-1A.

EB-1: 1 year in 3 years preceding the petition

Question details

I have been with the same company for 4 years as a manager (overall industry experience 11 years today). I joined the company in India, stayed there for 1.5 years, moved to US 2.5 years back. I read that "1 year employment outside the USA should be in the 3 years preceding the petition". All of my 12 months does not fall into the last 3 years. What are my chances of qualifying for EB-1?

There may be an exemption if you continued working with a related company ever since you came to USA.

Mr. Rajiv is very helpful and has enormous amount of experience. He also advises us correctly. He has the capability to clarify complex legal parlance to simple understandable terminology for clients.  His team with Anna Baker, Leslie are really thorough professionals.   They promptly respond to my emails on a daily basis and are incredibly adept from start to finish.   Ultimately, I can say that you are in safe hands.
