An Exceptional Attorney.

Attorney Michael Linn's professional expertise and unwavering dedication were instrumental in the successful preparation of my EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver) application, for which I am delighted to provide this glowing recommendation and positive review. I was immediately impressed by Attorne...y Linn's exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and extensive knowledge of immigration law upon retaining his services. His commitment to my case was evident in the meticulous manner in which he crafted the application, ensuring that every detail met the stringent EB2-NIW category requirements. Throughout the entire procedure, Attorney Linn's counsel and guidance were invaluable. He navigated the complexities of the immigration system with confidence, making sure that my application was not just comprehensive but also tailored to highlight my unique qualifications and contributions to my profession. His accessibility, responsiveness, and plain communication helped alleviate any concerns I had throughout the application process. The combination of Attorney Linn's dedication to my case and his reassuring demeanour imparted a sense of trust and confidence, which made the journey remarkably stress-free. I am pleased to announce that not only was my EB2-NIW application effectively submitted, but it was also approved. This significant accomplishment demonstrates Attorney Michael Linn's exceptional legal abilities and commitment to his clients' success. If you require legal representation for any immigration matter, I enthusiastically recommend Michael Linn. His expertise, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to his clients make him an excellent choice for those seeking the best results imaginable. Thank you again, Attorney Linn, for your outstanding service and the peace of mind you provided throughout this entire process. I am sincerely appreciative of your assistance in making my immigration goals a reality.

Great attorney for EB-2 NIW

Michael helped to go through the I-140 filing process for my NIW application. Few things to note: 1) His advice was very clear and helpful, which made the process of preparing the document package much easier for me. 2) He was transparent about the filing process and I felt that he acts in my best ...interests. For example, when I asked about the premium processing option, he advised against that, citing typical response periods and explaining that premium processing does not confer much benefits (in my case). Sure enough, I got my I-140 approved quite promptly, within the period Michael mentioned and saved money on the premium processing. 3) He was was quick to respond whenever I had issues or additional requests. Overall, my experience working with Michael was very pleasant and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an immigration law specialist.

Exceptional support and Got I-140 Petition approved with Premium in just 5 days

It was wonderful working with Michael Linn for my NIW case. I opted for the expedited process and no recommendation letter were needed. My case was complied and filed in just <30 days. He is one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with. The documentation which he and his team provided for my NIW ...was very comprehensive. Before reaching Ellis porter, I had only a limited knowledge on NIW process. To understand wholly, I had an initial call with Michael and he clearly explained the complex process. Listening to his approach I was quite impressive and later the supportive documents that were presented for my case were extraordinary. He and his team actually took the time to learn about my area of expertise, research, and areas of interest, my previous achievements, degrees that I earned, publications before putting together an exceptional petition for my case. The petition's supporting materials are perfectly suited for the case, and they clearly shown why my work is nationally important and why is has sustainable merit.  Additionally, as part of their service I usually received timely responses to my queries from him, and he is really dedicated to his profession. He works very quickly, and I received the initial draft of my legal brief in little less than two weeks with high quality. I was suggested by two of my friends who worked with Michael Linn in the past and received green cards recently. To help others, similarly I heartily recommend him to my other friends and those still waiting out there and searching for a good lawyer. I would like to repeat saying that, really, really, really Michael did a wonderful job for my case. Even though you have a solid profile, it still isn't enough. You need assistance with creating an outstanding petition, and Michael Stephen Linn from 'Ellis Porter' will do it for you.

EB2-NIW approval

I'm deeply grateful to Michael and his team for the exceptional legal support that I received in successfully obtaining my I-140 approval. In the beginning, I had no idea about the process. Michael and his team helped to navigate the complex process. Thanks to their guidance and professional commitme...nt, I achieved a favorable outcome. I truly recommend their services to anyone.

EB2-NIW approval without RFE

I signed the contract with Michael on 8/11/2023 and he is able to send my NIW petition package on 9/8/2023 and got approval on 9/14/2023 without any RFE! Michael always respond my message in two hours and prepare my case carefully. He is able to prepare the package and collect all the exhibit in aro...und a week once he has gathered all information form you! I initially think I was a "weak case" given that I only have 19 citations in 6 journal, but Michael is able to prepare my case even without recommendation of letter and get approved ! Thanks Michael!
