Highly Recommended and Exceeded My Expectations. Thank You, Michael and Team.

I was referred to Michael and his team by a friend who had a great experience with them, and I am so glad I took their advice. From the beginning, they handled my NIW (EB2) case with exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Michael took time to thoroughly understand my background and ...put together a strong petition. The strategic approach, clear guidance, and well-structured documentation made the entire process smooth and efficient. What impressed me the most was his responsiveness and willingness to address all my concerns promptly. Due to the excellent work, my NIW petition was approved, and I couldn't be happier! He truly lived up to my expectations. I highly recommend Michael Linn (which I have been doing before this approval) to anyone needing immigration assistance, especially for NIW cases. His expertise and commitment are truly exceptional! Thank you for your outstanding service, Micheal!

Got my EB-2 NIW I-140 Approved without RFE (I couldn’t have asked for better immigration lawyer)

I hired Michael through Ellis Porter to assist with preparing and filing my EB-2 NIW I-140 petition, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome--my petition was approved without an RFE. Despite my profile not being the strongest (as I am still a PhD student in my mid-20s with a relatively low number... of citations), Michael and his team structured my case in a way that maximized its strengths. The entire process was smooth and highly efficient. Communication was excellent--every question I had was answered promptly and in great detail. Michael demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB-2 NIW requirements and tailored my petition accordingly. I highly recommend Michael and Ellis Porter for anyone considering an EB-2 NIW petition. Their expertise and responsiveness made all the difference, and I couldn’t have asked for better legal support.

EB2 NIW approval

I had the pleasure of working with Michael for my EB2 NIW application, and my experience was excellent. Michael was thorough and professional throughout the entire process, addressing all of my queries promptly. I was extremely satisfied with the final petition he drafted. From application preparatio...n to submission, everything went smoothly. With Michael's expertise and the support of Ellis Porter, my application was recently approved.

Michael Linn is the best!

Michael is amazing and truly a STAR! He is great to work with and excellent at his job. We did the EB2 NIW and EB1A with him. For both, he was very comprehensive, systematic, and provided all the guidance. He is super responsive to my questions and messages. I also interacted with Jake who helped a l...ot as well. Highly recommend Michael, Jake and Ellis Porter, they are professional, and get the job 'well done'. Thank you so much for your help! I look forward to working with you for our next steps and I am grateful! ❤️❤️

Review on my attorney Michael Lean for EB2-NIW case

I started my EB2- NIW case processing with attorney Michael Linn from Ellis Porter and today my I-140 case is approved by the USCIS. Michael is a very efficient attorney who have always provide timely advise and guided me all through out my application procedure till the case submission to USCIS.... His advises were really helpful. The way Michael has build up my case it made it very strong and increased the potential of getting an approval. I would like to strongly recommend him for EB2- NIW cases as he is an expert on this. I wish him luck and even more success in the upcoming days.
