NIW EB2 approval for Environmental Engineering without RFE

I had the privilege of working with a highly skilled and professional attorney Michael Stephen Linn and his team (Laura Cramer) for my NIW EB2 case preparation, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with his outstanding work. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a deep understanding of th...e intricacies involved in my field of environmental engineering and put in an incredible effort to ensure that my I-140 application was perfectly prepared. Throughout the process, he and his team worked diligently to craft a compelling case that truly justified my endeavor to live and work in the United States. Their attention to detail and ability to anticipate potential roadblocks was remarkable, and it was evident that they were dedicated to achieving a positive outcome for me. I am pleased to report that my case was approved without RFE in just two months, and I owe much of that success to the exceptional work of my attorney. His expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process, and I feel confident recommending his services to anyone seeking a highly competent and dedicated attorney. Based on incredible experience in I-140 application with Ellis porter, I am going to continue working with their team on my immigrant visa processing. I thank him and his team for their incredible work.

Professional and friendly, got my petition approved.

Michael worked on my EB2-NIW case and got it to approval. Michael is always friendly and professional, answering my questions quickly and precisely. I highly recommend Michael to anyone expecting to get through the same process.

I-140 approved

I prepared my EB2 NIW petition (without recommendation letters) with Michael Linn and Jake last year. Throughout the process, Michael was very responsive; always replied to my queries within 24 hours. They prepared the petition very neatly and I got approval within three and a half months of filing w...ith no RFE. Overall, it was a very smooth journey. Thanks to Michael and his team for their sincerity and professionalism. Even after I-140 approval, Michael was responsive and advised me about the next steps of GC applications. I absolutely recommend Michael to F-1 visa holders who are planning to apply for the same.

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.
