Allison Hight

I had an excellent experience with Allison for my EB-2 NIW petition at Ellis Porter. I am a physician and applied on the basis of my research work in the medical field. From the beginning, the team was organized, timely, and very clear about what was needed from me. They sent detailed drafts of the a...pplication materials and guided me through each step of the process. I initially tried to make changes to some of the proposed drafts, but they advised me to trust their strategy and wording. I followed their advice, and my case was approved without any RFE in 40 days under premium processing. Highly recommend Ellis Porter for EB-2 NIW cases, especially for physicians, researchers, and academics.

I hired Allison Hight for my EB-2 National Interest Waiver (I-140) petition, and I could not be more grateful for the outcome and for how she got us there. Midway through the process, USCIS issued a Request for Evidence that challenged all three prongs of the NIW standard. The RFE was long, templa...ted, and frankly demoralizing to read. Allison did not treat it as a form letter. She went through it line by line, explained exactly what the officer was and was not persuaded by, and gave me a clear, prioritized list of what new evidence would actually move the needle: employer verification letters, independent expert letters, proof of real-world adoption of my work, and a sharper personal statement. Every request came with a reason and a deadline, so I always knew where we stood. What impressed me most was the quality of the legal brief and the way she handled revisions. I am a detail-oriented person and I sent back tracked changes and comments more than once. Allison and her team took every point seriously. Substantive edits were accepted, exhibit citations were corrected, quotes from my supporting letters were verified against the signed originals, and when they disagreed with a suggestion they told me why instead of just going along with it. The final 97-page package was clean, well-organized, and read like a genuine argument rather than a stack of documents. Communication was excellent throughout. Emails were answered quickly, revised drafts arrived when promised, and when Allison was out, a colleague was fully briefed and kept the work moving without any gap. I never had to chase anyone. The result: my I-140 was approved, and we are now moving on to the adjustment of status stage with the same team. If you are facing an NIW petition or, especially, an RFE that feels like an uphill battle, I recommend Allison without reservation. She is thorough, straightforward, and genuinely invested in getting her clients across the finish line.
