Agricultural scientist

I worked with Michael Linn on my NIW-EB2 and have been very happy with the service. Because of the length of the-140 process and all the stress we all have about our future, I believe the most important thing is the skills of the attorneys and how you can communicate with them in a timely manner. In ...my case, I really enjoyed how responsive, accurate, and to the point my attorneys were. Whenever I have a question or concern, they are fully resolved within a few hours. Additionally, for my Horticulture/Agronomy specialization, the petition was very strong, thorough, and sufficient, and required no revision. The letters of recommendation were written accurately. One of the best points I remember is how they researched my field and added more evidence to push the competition. To give you an idea of how quick, accurate, and cooperative my attorneys were, the entire process of my NIW filing took less than 7 months. I am glad I approached your firm to help me with my petition. I truly appreciated all of your help and guidance through the process.

My appreciate for great support from Ellis Porter

I contacted Ellis Porter at the end of September after searching for information about immigration to the US via the EB2-NIW VISA. I know that Ellis Porter is one of the best immigration law firms in the US. When I sent them my CV and scientific résumé, I was guided to work with Michael and Laura on ...the petition submission process of I-140. I sincerely appreciate their professionalism. Michael was very kind and always answered my questions; Laura helped me complete the necessary documents. Every time I have a question, I always get an answer in a short time. They are great. After receiving the petition they prepared, I was amazed at how well-organized, coherent, and excellent it was. My petition was submitted without a reference letter and was approved within three months. I would like to appreciate Michael and Laura for their awesomeness. I am happy that I can have the opportunity to work with you.
