NIW Petition Processing

Michael assisted me unreservedly through my NIW processing and he has continued to be of great help through the entire process.

I-140 NIW Approval

It was terrific working with my attorney, Michael, and his paralegal, Laura on my NIW I-140 application. Michael and Laura were very responsive, paid extreme attention to details, and answered all my questions in timely manner. Michael and his team prepared a fantastic legal brief to accompany the N...IW filing. The legal brief read like a document crafted by an economist in my field. My petition was approved in exactly four months by USCIS with no RFE. Working with Ellis Porter for my NIW I-140 application was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have already recommended them to more than five of my friends. I highly recommend Ellis Porters for the I-140 application process. I am retaining them for the adjustment of status petition.

Knowledgable and Efficient

I worked with Michael on the preparation of my EB2 NIW petition. Following my prescreening, we worked quickly to compile all necessary documents for my submission. The entire process went smoothly. He was able to provide me with sample materials from which I could build my petition and provided feedb...ack quickly. In addition, he was readily available to answer all questions and concerns that I had about that process as well as any related questions about my current visa status. Would highly recommend!

A+ immigration lawyer (EB-2 NIW approval)

While pursuing my Ph.D., I contacted the Ellis Porter Firm to handle my EB-2 NIW petition after hearing about them from a friend. Mr. Michael Linn prepared and filed the EB-2 NIW petition on my behalf, which was approved by the by USCIS in less than 6 months with no RFE (request for evidence). Michae...l is well versed in the intricacies of immigration law and proved to be extremely professional and efficient during the entire process. He was incredibly accommodating and helped me complete the I-140 process very quickly and without any stress or anxiety. He responded to all my queries promptly; assisted me with writing an excellent personal statement, drafted the legal brief and provided me with all the clarification that I needed, which made the entire process easy to understand. I was also really happy with the competitive attorney fees and payment options that the Ellis porter Firm provided me which was very convenient for me as a student. I would highly recommend Mr. Michael Linn and his Immigration Team to anyone looking for assistance with immigration services. They are very knowledgeable, experienced, reliable, and trustworthy

Review

Micheal Lin performed a fantastic job in preparing my case for NIW application. He collected the data carefully, analtzed them with great focus to omit unnocessary documents and more focusing in the required dicuments then he made a great contribution in writing the specific letters. My case was app...roved because of his great focus and valuable help in preparing the case and without him, I believe that my case could not be aproved.
