Great Work for EB2 NIW

From filling out the technical part (related to my profession) to submission, it took less than a month. He took care of crafting the petition with a compelling story which eventually led to the acceptance of my petition. During the RFE, he also helped me compose an LOR. Very satisfied with his suppo...rt.

Outstanding Immigration Support

Michael and his team delivered exceptional support in obtaining approvals for both my NIW and EB1A I-140 petitions. The detailed petition briefs they crafted showcased meticulousness, structured logic, and astute critical thinking. They effectively highlighted my background, qualifications, and exper...ience to satisfy the underlying criteria for EB1-A and NIW, resulting in successful approvals without any RFEs. I wholeheartedly recommend engaging Michael for any assistance required in your employment-based immigration journey.

A Skilled and Ethical Immigration Lawyer Who Prioritizes Client Needs

I recently had the opportunity to work with Michael and my experience was extremely positive. Michael's approach to handling my case was marked by a meticulous attention to detail. He was thorough with all his write-ups, ensuring that every aspect of my case was comprehensively covered. This level of... thoroughness gave me a lot of confidence in his abilities. Michael's expertise in immigration law is evident. He knows what he is doing and is adept at navigating the complex legal landscape. His knowledge and experience were instrumental in addressing the challenges in my case effectively. One of the most commendable aspects of working with Michael is his honesty and integrity when it comes to billing. He doesn't overcharge. In one instance, he advised me against incurring additional expenses, even though it would have been more profitable for him to encourage further action. This showed me that he genuinely prioritizes his clients' interests over his own business gains. While Michael can be slightly conservative in his approach, this is not necessarily a drawback in the context of legal work. His cautious and methodical strategy ensures that all potential risks are assessed and mitigated. This conservative approach might actually be an asset in navigating the often unpredictable realm of immigration law. In conclusion, if you are looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, and ethical immigration lawyer, Michael is an excellent choice. His expertise, combined with his client-first approach, makes him a standout in his field.

I-140 NIW approve in 90 days without recommendation letter

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Stephen Linn on my EB2 (NIW) petition. I would firstly like to thank him for the successful petition and secondly for the ease of working with him. Michael Stephen Linn was very knowledgeable on how to highlight my scientific achievements and how to presen...t the case in the strongest way possible. He did tremendous work in putting together a superb petition without any recommendation letter. Michael Stephen Linn was always accessible, he responded to every smallest query that I had, and guided me through the process. I highly recommend all the researchers who are seeking green card under EB1/EB2 category.

Great attorney for EB-2 NIW

Michael helped to go through the I-140 filing process for my NIW application. Few things to note: 1) His advice was very clear and helpful, which made the process of preparing the document package much easier for me. 2) He was transparent about the filing process and I felt that he acts in my best ...interests. For example, when I asked about the premium processing option, he advised against that, citing typical response periods and explaining that premium processing does not confer much benefits (in my case). Sure enough, I got my I-140 approved quite promptly, within the period Michael mentioned and saved money on the premium processing. 3) He was was quick to respond whenever I had issues or additional requests. Overall, my experience working with Michael was very pleasant and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an immigration law specialist.
