A perfect lawyer

I did my EB-2 from Ellis Porter and Michael was assigned to help me to prepare my petition and compile all the documents. Several things that I want to highlight: 1. Super responsive! -> He will reply to your message in 1x24 hour 2. Knowledgeable -> Ask him everything and he know the answers! 3. T...idy -> All documents will be compiled very tidy before send out to UCSIS You will be happy if he handle your case!

I-140 Attorney Performance Review

I worked with Michael Linn on submitting my I-140 petition. Michael was thoroughly familiar with all the steps and details required for preparing the documents and the petition, and was always available to assist me with my questions. Whenever I sent him a message, he replayed within a few hours. I'...m happy with the service I received and highly recommend it to other professionals trying to obtain green card through NIW process.

EB2-NIW I-140 success story

I am happy to share my success story of EB2-NIW. I contacted Ellis Porter, back in November 2021, for the evaluation of my case for I-140. I was put in contact with Mr. Michael Linn, attorney at Ellis Porter. Mr. Linn evaluated my CV and setup 30 minutes call session to answer all of my questions. He... answered all my questions thoroughly and left a strong impression of being an expert immigration attorney. I signed the retainer in mid of November, legal brief was prepared in just four weeks, and the I-140 petition was filed in mid of December 2021. My I-140 was approved in May 2022. It was approved within six months without any RFE. My experience of working with Mr. Linn and his team was just perfect. I was answered whenever I had a question. All the requests were accommodated. Case was prepared up to the mark, in a very short time. No unnecessary documents were asked that reduced the paperwork. I recommend their services to everyone.

Well versed and very supportive lawyer

I was scared to file I-140 as I had only master’s degree and only a few publications. Michael scrutinized my profile. He explained the law and why my research fit the criteria of NIW. That made me interested, and I applied. By the grace of God, my I-140 was approved in 10 months. During this process ...there was not a time when I had a question, and I did not receive an answer within an hour. He was always very supportive and always available. People who go through this process knows how frantic this journey is and how important it is to have a great lawyer by your side. I really appreciate his support throughout my I-140 journey.
