I-140 for EB2

Dr Linn was great at preparing my I-140 package which was approved with no RFE. He answered all my questions all the way through, was very approachable, and was fast to respond. Thanks Dr Linn, highly recommended!

Mr. Michael Linn

I am excited to write this review about Michael Linn. From the moment he is assigned to work with me to help prepare and file my I-140, he took ownership of it and offered all the help I needed every step of the way, including iterations on writing my career summary and personal statement both of wh...ich go into preparing my legal brief. Another important attribute I noticed is his promptness in responding to emails and to my request for clarification of important issues. A case in point was when I was trying to make a decision on expediting the processing of my I-140 application with the USCIS's premium processing. The insights he offered me as regards the date when my application was filed vis-a-vis the time I was trying to make the decision on the premium processing actually made me save $2,500. Part of his analysis then was that, considering the time after filing my case, without the premium processing, my I-140 could well be adjudicated within the timeframe the premium processing could have hastened up my application, and this turned out to be right. My I-140 was approved without the premium processing. Great job, Michael.

Very experienced with I140 NIW

Michael was the assigned lawyer from Ellis Porter firm to prepare my I140 NIW petition. I found Michael to be very experienced with the process, he clearly explained every step and more importantly he was very responsive and efficient. Michael knew what is needed to prepare a successful petition an...d he did a lot of research around my area of expertise to properly frame it. I truly recommend him.

EB-2 NIW I-140 approval within 12 days

I had a great experience working with Michael. He worked with me to file EB-2 NIW case. He is super helpful, provides instant feedback and is remarkably efficient. If you can provide him with all the documents, he can file the case within 2 weeks. My case got approved within 12 days of shipping the a...pplication packet for which all credit goes to him. So overall, I am super satisfied with Michael and the team.

Very positive experience - Michael is super prompt, professional and efficient

I had a very positive experience working with Michael (and Laura) on my I-140 petition. He is very professional and efficient, provides instant feedback, and writes a clear and impressive legal brief. From the very beginning when we gathered evidence until it got approved, Michael and Laura walked me... through the whole process step by step and wrote a strong case for my application. Michael and Laura know very well what is important evidence to include in my case for I-140 so we can focus on and highlight that evidence. My case got approved within less than 2 months. I am very satisfied with the service and highly recommend Michael (and Laura). Thank you, Michael and Laura!
