I-140 for EB2-NIW

I worked with Michael Linn (and Jeremy Winograd) on the preparation of my I-140 for EB2-NIW, and am very satisfied with the service they provided. They have been responsive, knowledgeable, and skillful. Michael always responds to my messages in a few hours. My petition was well-written and very stro...ng, and recommendation letters were not needed. My case was approved without RFE. All in all, I recommend Michael to anybody looking for a lawyer to help with the EB2-NIW application.

Accurate / Responsive / Supporter

I worked with Michael Linn for my EB2-NIW case and he was absolutely helpful throughout the whole process. The most important thing for me throughout this process was to be able to communicate with my attorney whenever it was necessary. Michael was amazing since he replied to all my questions in a sh...ort time (less than a day usually) and with all the important details. The legal brief that he wrote for me was perfect (I just did a couple of very small edits). The recommendation letters were written accurately. The funding letters and all other documents were also perfect in my case. Special thanks to him for his support during the time I received an RFE since I really needed that support. The strategy that he set for the RFE response was absolutely amazing and strong. Finally, I got my I-140 approval and I definitely recommend Michael to others who wanna start this journey.

Highly Knowledgeable! Effective! Very Responsive!

I highly recommend Michael Linn to those who are planning to apply for the NIW I-140. He is highly knowledgeable, effective, and very responsive to any concerns you have. It was a very straightforward process. They collected all the necessary documents by my side; as long as I submitted the documents... and information they requested, they started preparing the legal brief. In a very short time, he prepared the legal brief. It was very well written with supporting documents, and it proved how knowledgeable, effective, and committed he was to his job. With this, my I-140 got approved without the need for an RFE. I am very glad I got to work with lawyer Michael Linn, and I am very grateful to him, and I am very satisfied with his service. Also, I should mention the kind support from Jeremy Winograd (Paralegal) as well with this process. Further, I must mention attorney Jonathan Goslow, who identified me as a potential candidate for the NIW application, offered me a 100% full refund service if my case is denied, explained the full process in the beginning, and introduced my lawyer Michael Linn to handle my case. Overall, I am delighted and satisfied with the service from my lawyer Michael and Ellis Porter Law Firm.

Great attorney for EB1-B I-140 application

Most of the immigration firms didn’t take my case and Ellis Porter came to my rescue. Jonathan reviewed my credentials and assigned my case to Michael. Michael was super quick in responding to my emails and all the questions I had. Most of the time response was within 24 hours. He helped me to draft ...the recommendation letters and wrote a solid petition letter to support my credentials and my research work. In spite his awesome work, unfortunately, I received a RFE but it was related more towards my employer and less on my credentials. RFE response was little delayed but it was from my employer side, and Michael was persistent to get the information from my employer. I received the approval and its all because of Michael and how he prepared my petition and RFE response. He is an expert, knows the process and I would definitely recommend him.

I-140

Michael was prompt in responding to messages, and review of submitted documents. He was very helpful. As an example, he went an extra mile to help me save on costs by proposing alternative, cheaper means of translating my documents. He was informative, advised whenever I asked questions, even those ... that were not directly related to my application. It was a pleasure working with Michael.
