I-140 Application

I hired Michael as the attorney to help work on my I-140 application. I must say that working with him was really great. He carried me along throughout the application process and answered all my numerous questions. He not only answered all my questions but responded on time and I appreciate that. If... you are looking for a skilled immigration attorney, I would definitely recommend Micheal.

Patient and Professional

I have been Michael on my NIW application for more than a year. Due to my extremely hectic schedule, I have been tardy in communicating and providing the documents needed for the application. However, Michale and his team were extremely professional, always thorough, and quick with any and all questi...ons and answers I had. He always provided clear answers to big and small questions and provided close guidance and support on how to prepare compelling documents. After I provided my documents, Michael and the team were meticulous is creating the case document by adding comprehensive information and argument. I am extremely pleased with his work and will definitely strongly recommend him.

Excellent Guidance through I-140

I had worked with Michael for almost a year. Throughout the whole process, Michael always clarified my inquiries within the day. My I-140 application got approved in less than 9 months even though we had to go through an RFE process, which could happen to any I-140 filling. The USCIS officer challeng...ed the second prong but thanks to Michael's solid RFE response strategy, we won my case! I strongly recommend Michael's I-140 services. You're in good hands.

One of the most capable immigration attorney

I am happy to work with Michael. In my opinion, he is responsive, capable, and knows what should be the best fit for the client. Whenever I had a question, he would answer it clearly and just in time. Although we had to go through an RFE, which could happen to any petition regardless of the strength ...of the profile, I am glad that I had Michael on my side dealing with the formidable challenge from the IO. The main reason for retaining an immigration attorney is to guarantee a victory over any potential challenge, right? In my case, Michael suggested a reliable strategy that worked well. Finally, I received approval for my I-140 (EB2-NIW) even though I was questioned for all three prongs. Only under tough times can you evaluate a good attorney's ability. Definitely, Micheal is one of the most capable immigration lawyers you can hire.
