Exceptional !

I was fortunate to work with Michael on my I 140 application. I was a PhD candidate when I initiated my NIW application process. I was doubtful if going with I 140 as PhD candidate was a good option. However, Michael and his team were very confident about the merit of my case. I was offered an expedi...te service and no letter of references were required. They built a strong case using my educational background, work experience, and research abilities. It was a gratifying experience working with Michael, and I am extremely grateful for his service . I would highly recommend Michael to anyone planning for NIW application.

Excellent Lawyer!!

Michael Linn was assigned to handle my I-140 petition after I hired Ellis Porter PLC. I had a great experience working with Michael on my successful I-140 petition! He clearly and efficiently communicated all the processes and steps and what was expected from me; he provided prompt feedback on resour...ces I shared with him; he answered all my questions in a manner I could understand; and he stayed positive throughout the process. The legal brief he put together clearly demonstrated how meticulously he put together the various seemingly small pieces to tell a coherent and convincing story about me. I highly recommend Michael for anyone who is looking for a competent and compassionate lawyer to handle their I-140 petition!

Mr. Linn was tremendous with me throughout the process. This immigration process was very stressful undertaking for me, but when I started working with Mr. Linn, he made me feel super at ease with the process. He did so by always providing me with swift responses and detailed answers to all my quest...ions. Additionally, he did an amazing job with assembling a very strong case for me at a very short time. I am so happy that I worked with Mr. Linn and I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs immigration help!

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.

Very responsive, knowledgeable and skillful

For my NIW-EB2, I worked with Michael Linn and David Allen, and am very satisfied with the service. Due to lengthy nature of I-140 procedure, and all the stress we all have about our future, I believe that the most important thing is the skill of the lawyers and how you can communicate with them in a... timely manner. In my case, I was really enjoyed how responsive, accurate and to the points were my attorneys. Every time I had any questions or concerns, they would comprehensively address those in few hours. In addition, the petition for my environmental/biological engineering filed was very strong, thorough, and sufficient that no revision was needed. The recommendation letters were written accurately. The brilliant point that I remember is, how they researched about what was my field and added even more evidence to boost the petition. Just to give you an idea, how fast, accurate and cooperative my lawyers were, the whole process of my NIW filing was less than 4 months. All in all, I recommend them to all, good luck with your case!
