Got my EB-2 NIW I-140 Approved without RFE (I couldn’t have asked for better immigration lawyer)

I hired Michael through Ellis Porter to assist with preparing and filing my EB-2 NIW I-140 petition, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome--my petition was approved without an RFE. Despite my profile not being the strongest (as I am still a PhD student in my mid-20s with a relatively low number... of citations), Michael and his team structured my case in a way that maximized its strengths. The entire process was smooth and highly efficient. Communication was excellent--every question I had was answered promptly and in great detail. Michael demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB-2 NIW requirements and tailored my petition accordingly. I highly recommend Michael and Ellis Porter for anyone considering an EB-2 NIW petition. Their expertise and responsiveness made all the difference, and I couldn’t have asked for better legal support.

Michael is a very efficient attorney who have always provide timely advise and guided me all through out my application procedure till the case submission to USCIS....
