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.

Exceptional Legal Support for My NIW Case

Michael and his team at Ellis Porter Group did an exceptional job guiding and preparing my NIW case. Their expertise allowed us to submit my I-140 request promptly, even within a tight timeframe. Their responsiveness was remarkable, consistently providing prompt replies during regular working hours. ...Their competence and dedication to their work are evident, and I wholeheartedly recommend the high-quality services of Michael and the Ellis Porter Group team for immigration matters.

Professional and Friendly Service

Michael's service is professional and friendly. I mean it. He quickly responded to my queries and was apt at dealing with my unique case. Being a student of social science applying for I140, which is rare, at least around me, I did not have any idea of how to present my case; Michael just made me do ...that without any stress. I felt the process was pretty easy and smooth. Thanks, Michael for giving me such a feeling!

Exceptional Attorney Service

I'm delighted that I chose EP for my EB2-NIW case, especially since I was recommended by one of my friends whose I140 got approved within a couple of months. I'm thrilled that my I140 has been approved within nine weeks. A big thanks to Michael Linn and Jake Hofer; besides being incredibly supportive... and highly professional, they were remarkably responsive whenever I had questions. I found Michael to possess immense knowledge and experience, allowing him to handle my case and emphasize the key aspects expertly. Working with the EP team, especially Michael, was truly enjoyable, and my satisfaction knows no bounds. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Linn and the EP team for any filing needs.

Navigating Success: NIW (EB2) with Michael Linn

Recently I completed my NIW journey with Ellis Porter (EP). I had an excellent experience of working with attorney Michael Lin. I took expedited service from EP and got my NIW approved within 105 days. First, when I started my NIW journey with Michael, I had little knowledge about the process. M...ichael carefully took the time to go through the process step by step. He always replied to my queries within a few hours for what I could submit within a few weeks after I started to prepare my case. Second, Michael was meticulous about all my documents submitted, and he always tried to incorporate even a small contribution into the case to make the case strong. This is really impressive to me where other lawyers only go with the traditional approach of what they already knew. Finally, it's not just about my paperwork; it's about feeling supported. Michael took the time to get to know my situation and tailored his approach accordingly. He made me feel like I mattered, and that meant a lot. I'm happy to recommend Michael Linn to anyone needing immigration help. He's the real deal–professional, knowledgeable, and totally committed. Thanks, Michael, for turning my dreams into reality!
