Highly Recommend Michael Linn

Michael Linn is an exceptionally knowledgeable and professional attorney for the NIW process. I first met him during a free consultation, and after that conversation I immediately felt confident working with him on my I140. He made the entire process clear, organized, and surprisingly easy to follow.... He is very approachable and always patient. I had many questions and a lot of stress throughout the process, and whenever I reached out, he responded quickly and explained everything in a way that made me feel supported. I truly appreciate his expertise and the time he devoted to my case from the beginning until my approval.I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced NIW attorney.

Legal support during the NIW process

The initial time I reached out to them regarding the application process, I received a detailed email that well explained each step of the process and clarified the potential for my case to be pursued. They even extend a generous offer of a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation, during which M...ichael Linn displayed remarkable patience and professionalism in addressing all of my doubts and concerns. Later on, Michael Linn was my legal counsel throughout the preparing and submitting my NIW application. His responsiveness was truly impressive; whenever I asked a new question via email, his rapid and comprehensive responses eased my concerns and kept the process efficient. He and his professional team managed to construct a robust case for me that finally garnered acceptance. I am really grateful for their priceless assistance.

Very positive and helpful

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.

Smooth process and easy to work with

I did a free consultation with Ellis Porter and was assigned Michael as my attorney. He explained the process and was always transparent. He made sure that I understood all the required documentation and he always updated me in a timely manner. My case was approved in just 5 months!!! I highly recomm...end Michael.
