Got my EB-2 NIW I-140 Approved without RFE (I couldn’t have asked for better immigration lawyer)

I hired Michael through Ellis Porter to assist with preparing and filing my EB-2 NIW I-140 petition, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome--my petition was approved without an RFE. Despite my profile not being the strongest (as I am still a PhD student in my mid-20s with a relatively low number... of citations), Michael and his team structured my case in a way that maximized its strengths. The entire process was smooth and highly efficient. Communication was excellent--every question I had was answered promptly and in great detail. Michael demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB-2 NIW requirements and tailored my petition accordingly. I highly recommend Michael and Ellis Porter for anyone considering an EB-2 NIW petition. Their expertise and responsiveness made all the difference, and I couldn’t have asked for better legal support.

Great Experience (NIW/EB2- i140)

Michael demonstrated professionalism and responsiveness throughout the process. Thanks to his efficiency, all necessary documents were prepared and filed within two months. Would recommend highly.

EB2 NIW approval

I had the pleasure of working with Michael for my EB2 NIW application, and my experience was excellent. Michael was thorough and professional throughout the entire process, addressing all of my queries promptly. I was extremely satisfied with the final petition he drafted. From application preparatio...n to submission, everything went smoothly. With Michael's expertise and the support of Ellis Porter, my application was recently approved.

Cordial and helpful attorney

My I-140 got approved, which took almost 10 months. It was a great experience working with Michael and his team. He prepared my case and submitted within 21 days upon my request. Most important thing was his optimum level of correction and suggestion wherever it requires. I would highly recommend him....

I-140 (NIW) case filing

I contacted Ellis Porter about my case and they assigned Michael Linn as my lawyer. Michael was very professional and responsive. Because of his prompt service, preparing all the necessary documents and filing took less than two months. My I-140 got approved finally just before the Christmas and than...ks to Michael for his proficient service.
