highly recommend if you value quality, timing and expertise

I had a pleasant experience working with Michael Stephen Linn on my NIW EB2 petition. He was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and guided me through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. I also value his timely responses with no long waits which helped to file all the documents fa...st. I Highly recommend Michael if your planning on your NIW EB2 petition. Good luck!

Professional and Strategic

Very strategic when it came to responding to the NIW-I140 RFE. He was very concise and pointed out every fact using references from dependable and reliable sources. He was very prompt in communication with me and addressed any question or concern I had during the response process.

Seamless path to I-140 approval

Michael Stephen Linn is a highly skilled, knowledgeable, and professional immigration attorney. As we were assembling my I-140 petition, he was very articulate, responsive, prompt, and effective. I was thoroughly impressed by his guidance through the process. Unsurprisingly, my I-140 petition was app...roved without RFE. I am very grateful for Michael's assistance and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is embarking on their EB-2 NIW journey. Thank you!

Was a great help through my I-140 petition

Mr. Michael worked so hard and promptly for my I-140 petition. He clearly explained what documents I needed to submit to him and what information I had to describe. Once I had finished those tasks, he quickly gave me responses and advice and worked on the official document preparation. I really appre...ciate Michael and without him I would have not been able to get through the process. If I have a non- American friend and he/she/they were to look for a good lawyer for I-140 petition, I would strongly recommend this company and Michael.

EB2-NIW approval without RFE

I signed the contract with Michael on 8/11/2023 and he is able to send my NIW petition package on 9/8/2023 and got approval on 9/14/2023 without any RFE! Michael always respond my message in two hours and prepare my case carefully. He is able to prepare the package and collect all the exhibit in aro...und a week once he has gathered all information form you! I initially think I was a "weak case" given that I only have 19 citations in 6 journal, but Michael is able to prepare my case even without recommendation of letter and get approved ! Thanks Michael!
