EB2-NIW I-140

I worked with Michael Linn for my EB2-NIW I-140 petition and he was very diligent, knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive. The documentation he prepared was detailed and thorough, and resulted in my application being successfully approved by USCIS without any issues.

Great I-140 Petition Preparation Service

Michael helped me a lot during I-140 petition preparation. My background is Ph.D. in Chemistry with 168 citation on Google scholar. After checking my profile, I was consulted by Ellis Porter law firm to use the expedited service with no LOR. Michael was assigned to handle my case and he did a great j...ob at preparing all required documents including personal statement and supporting documents. He also answered all my questions in a timely manner. The longest time I had to wait for his response was 2 hours. After 14 months of processing, my I-140 petition was approved by USCIS with no RFE. I am very happy with the results and my case would not have been approved without a huge support from Michael and Ellis Porter law firm.

EB2-NIW I-140 assistance

Michael was super helpful during the process of preparing my I-140 package and submitting it. He guided me through this stressful and lengthy process and was always very responsive. It was a pleasure working with him!

Accurate / Responsive / Supporter

I worked with Michael Linn for my EB2-NIW case and he was absolutely helpful throughout the whole process. The most important thing for me throughout this process was to be able to communicate with my attorney whenever it was necessary. Michael was amazing since he replied to all my questions in a sh...ort time (less than a day usually) and with all the important details. The legal brief that he wrote for me was perfect (I just did a couple of very small edits). The recommendation letters were written accurately. The funding letters and all other documents were also perfect in my case. Special thanks to him for his support during the time I received an RFE since I really needed that support. The strategy that he set for the RFE response was absolutely amazing and strong. Finally, I got my I-140 approval and I definitely recommend Michael to others who wanna start this journey.

Highly recommend! Knowledgeable and responsive!

I highly recommend Michael Linn for anyone looking to apply for EB-2 NIW. After reviewing my information, he determined my case was a strong one and recommended the expedited service. Michael explained the whole process in detail and made the process a better learning experience for me. Almost immedi...ately, after I retained him, he went straight on working on my case. He handled the whole process in a very efficient manner and we got the application submitted in a short time. During the process, he was also responsive to all my questions and concerns. I received an approval with no need for an RFE. I am very grateful for the help I received from Michael and highly satisfied with my experience. He is definitely a great attorney and I certainly do not hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know.
