I-140 for EB2-NIW

I worked with Michael Linn (and Jeremy Winograd) on the preparation of my I-140 for EB2-NIW, and am very satisfied with the service they provided. They have been responsive, knowledgeable, and skillful. Michael always responds to my messages in a few hours. My petition was well-written and very stro...ng, and recommendation letters were not needed. My case was approved without RFE. All in all, I recommend Michael to anybody looking for a lawyer to help with the EB2-NIW application.

Attorney Review

I was referred to Ellis Porter PLC by a friend of mine. After my resume was thoroughly reviewed, I was assured that I had a strong case. The attorney assigned to me, Micheal Linn, commenced working with me with speed, professionalism and efficiency. In doing this, I was properly guided by my attorney... in providing all the required documentation. After all my documents where completed, he did the necessary filing of my case. Before, the submission of my documents to USCIS, I was asked to read through and suggest on areas of corrections. This I did and holla my case was finally submitted sometime in April, 2022. However, my anticipated processing time was in the earliest time in 8 months, so I did not worry to track my portal through my case number. But surprisingly, I opened my apartment mail box, and found my NIW (I-140) approval letter lying in my mail box. When I checked the date I realized my case was approved 10 days earlier (July, 29, 2022). In my calculations the processing time was about 4 months. Micheal Linn was very patient and detailed. He answered every question that I asked him and guided me properly. In view of this, I will not hesitate to recommend Micheal Linn to anyone who might be considering filing for an NIW (I-140).

NIW-EB2 Case

I highly recommend Michael for an NIW-EB2 application. He and his team were precise and fast. He patiently answered my questions within 24 hours while there was a 7-8 hours time gap and kept you updated on your case. I also suggested him to two of my friends, who were also satisfied. The procedure he... designed was organized and clear. I just followed the steps and provided the documents that he clearly explained the needed contents and information. Finally, the petition was flawless, and hopefully successful.

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!

Accurate / Responsive / Supporter

I worked with Michael Linn for my EB2-NIW case and he was absolutely helpful throughout the whole process. The most important thing for me throughout this process was to be able to communicate with my attorney whenever it was necessary. Michael was amazing since he replied to all my questions in a sh...ort time (less than a day usually) and with all the important details. The legal brief that he wrote for me was perfect (I just did a couple of very small edits). The recommendation letters were written accurately. The funding letters and all other documents were also perfect in my case. Special thanks to him for his support during the time I received an RFE since I really needed that support. The strategy that he set for the RFE response was absolutely amazing and strong. Finally, I got my I-140 approval and I definitely recommend Michael to others who wanna start this journey.
