Michael Stephen Linn

I prepared my EB2 NIW petition (without recommendation letters) with Michael Linn and Jake last year. Throughout the process, Michael was very responsive; always replied to my queries within 24 hours. They prepared the petition very neatly and I got approval within three and a half months of filing w...ith no RFE. Overall, it was a very smooth journey. Thanks to Michael and his team for their sincerity and professionalism. Even after I-140 approval, Michael was responsive and advised me about the next steps of GC applications. I absolutely recommend Michael to F-1 visa holders who are planning to apply for the same.

I would consider Michael Stephen Linn to be one of the best immigration lawyers in terms of his experience, availability, and professionalism. Michael and his team were extremely professional and friendly, and he was always available to answer any questions I had. I had an awesome experience working ...with him and his team, and my I-140 was approved in less than two months. It is an honor for me to be able to recommend him for similar work. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to do so.

I did a free consultation with Ellis Porter and Michael was assigned as my attorney in 2021 for I-140 in EB1A category. However, I could not do anything in 2021 but I always get message from Michael time to time to start processing and uploaded documents. We submitted my I-140 petition in June 2022 u...nfortunately I got RFE and later it denied after submitting RFE response. I was so disappointed, but Michael always encouraged me and suggested to resubmit my petition because he feels my application very much strong it should get approved. Then within a month we resubmitted my I-140 petition with addition of some more evidence of notable citation, independent citation, and funding proof, then it got approved within a week. Throughout the process, Michael always answers very quickly about my inquiries and gave nice suggestions. I really like his petition format which includes all the details very nicely. I highly recommend working with Michael.

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

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.
