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.

Filling of I-140 Petition

Am self-petitioned for I-140 for an advanced degree research in the area of Science Education, I got the information from a colleague who has used the service of the same Immigration lawyer for his petition. Although at the point of application, his own application has not been approved but later inf...ormed me of his approval of his petition. I am really excited by the support and guidance of Micheal throughout the process. My application was submitted in the middle of February 2023 and was approved in early August 2023. I recommend people to use the service of an immigration lawyer if they can afford it, the benefits outweighed the demerits. Thanks

NIW I-140 filling

Michael is very responsive and cooperative. I filled out my NIW I-140 petition through Michael. He guided me throughout the journey of preparing the draft, career summary, Statement of Purpose, and everything. The best part is I was about to waste my money on upgrading my petition to premium processi...ng where the priority date is far away. He advised me and explained the pros and cons and suggested me that it could be a waste of money. I took his advice and it save me $2500. Thank you again, Michael. I strongly recommend him.

Mr. Michael Linn

I am excited to write this review about Michael Linn. From the moment he is assigned to work with me to help prepare and file my I-140, he took ownership of it and offered all the help I needed every step of the way, including iterations on writing my career summary and personal statement both of wh...ich go into preparing my legal brief. Another important attribute I noticed is his promptness in responding to emails and to my request for clarification of important issues. A case in point was when I was trying to make a decision on expediting the processing of my I-140 application with the USCIS's premium processing. The insights he offered me as regards the date when my application was filed vis-a-vis the time I was trying to make the decision on the premium processing actually made me save $2,500. Part of his analysis then was that, considering the time after filing my case, without the premium processing, my I-140 could well be adjudicated within the timeframe the premium processing could have hastened up my application, and this turned out to be right. My I-140 was approved without the premium processing. Great job, Michael.
