Great!

Micheal helped me with filing the I-140 for the EB2 National Interest Waiver category of green card. Since the first consultation he has always been very clear on the steps I needed to take and and very attentive to answer all of my questions thoroughly. He is extremely honest and does not lure you t...o spend more money in lawyer fees or any other eventual expense needed for filing which I find to be a rare privilege. Overall, I am greatly satisfied with his work and highly recommend to anyone who will need help with immigration matters in the future. Thanks a lot Michael!!!

I140 approval

I worked with Michael to apply for NIW I-140 application. He was very helpful and I always got a reply from him very quickly. It was very easy for me to work with him because of his very good petition preparation and the submission and his knowledge in the process. I am really thankful to him for all... his helps.

EB2-NIW approved without any reference letters

After reviewing my profile, Michael suggested going for a first-track application process without any reference letters. Initially, I was a bit doubtful. However, in the end, this process saved a lot of my time since finding appropriate referees is always a hard task. Michael helped my in writing... my research proposal and also gathering all the relevant information. Throughout the process, his communication was very clear and timely. Finally, my I-140 was approved without any reference letters. I would like to highly recommend Michael for the EN2-NIW petition.

Working for filing I-140

He is really patient and willing to help you. In addition, he consulted me very well and suggested me some recommendations for improving my petition. The results for my case was awesome!

Well versed and very supportive lawyer

I was scared to file I-140 as I had only master’s degree and only a few publications. Michael scrutinized my profile. He explained the law and why my research fit the criteria of NIW. That made me interested, and I applied. By the grace of God, my I-140 was approved in 10 months. During this process ...there was not a time when I had a question, and I did not receive an answer within an hour. He was always very supportive and always available. People who go through this process knows how frantic this journey is and how important it is to have a great lawyer by your side. I really appreciate his support throughout my I-140 journey.
