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!

Excellent Lawyer!!

Michael Linn was assigned to handle my I-140 petition after I hired Ellis Porter PLC. I had a great experience working with Michael on my successful I-140 petition! He clearly and efficiently communicated all the processes and steps and what was expected from me; he provided prompt feedback on resour...ces I shared with him; he answered all my questions in a manner I could understand; and he stayed positive throughout the process. The legal brief he put together clearly demonstrated how meticulously he put together the various seemingly small pieces to tell a coherent and convincing story about me. I highly recommend Michael for anyone who is looking for a competent and compassionate lawyer to handle their I-140 petition!

I-140 petition

Michael was very knowledgeable of the process, and he provided support and answers to all my questions and concerns. He was diligent to keep me up to date o the process, complete documents in an efficient time frame and overall was a joy to work with. I am so glad that this landed me with a successfu...l approval. I can't thank Michael enough for his work.

5 Star Review!

At first, we got in touch with another lawyer whom most Iranians know and filed I-140 with his firm, and after a back-and-forth couple of emails, we realized maybe it is not a good option for us. The reason was that I and my husband were extremely busy and we did not have enough time to get into deta...ils. we were looking for a lawyer that helps us through the process step by step and straightforwardly while optimistic and easygoing, and also we wanted to have minimum involvement! So we chose the Elizabeth Porter firm and Mr. Goslow was suggested by a friend of mine. We reached all our goals with 100% satisfaction. Not to mention we got approved in 3 and half months, all the assistants especially Michael Linn and Jake Hofer were so nice and understanding. They answered all our questions patiently, explained and verbalized clearly, and responded to our every single message quickly. Wish you all the best, Maryam
