Excellent service

Andy has been an excellent choice for my individual case, applying for an NIW. I work in academia at the postdoctoral level. To find Andy, I followed the recommendation of a colleague with comparable experience to mine, who had just had a successful NIW application. After reviewing my case, Andy offe...red a money-back guarantee for filing my case which made me feel very confident going ahead with his services for my case. I want to add that another law firm had just recently rejected my case for my lack of experience. Andy however recognized that, while I'm early in my career, my individual situation still presented a competitive case. Andy and his team were very responsive and answered all of our questions and concerns that we had before. The documents were compiled in a timely manner (within a month). After only 3 months, my NIW was approved. We felt in very good hands throughout the entire process and would choose Andy again any time.

lucky to have Andrew in my life

I was very lucky to e-meet Andrew, and consult with him about my NIW case. When I started working with him, I gave myself a little chance to get my case approved. Now my case is approved, in one year, as Andrew had predicted. Unbelievable! He helped me to fill out the forms, and submit them in the ea...siest, fastest, and at the same time, cheapest way. I highly recommend him to everyone who is looking for an experienced and professional immigration attorney.

Very knowledgeable immigration attorney

After consulting many attorneys to handle my NIW and green card process, I decided to go with Andy and his firm, he seemed very knowledgeable from the get-go, knew the ins and outs of the immigration law, and was able to put my mind at ease immediately after the first consultation. Even though we wer...e against the clock to meet the filing deadline, Andy and his team never compromised on the quality of the work and made sure the legal brief and the complete petition being filed were of the highest quality. Perhaps it was this skillfully crafted I-140 petition that checked all the boxes and left no doubt in the mind of the USCIS adjudicator, the petition got approved in 8 months (USCIS estimate:20months) without any RFE. All of this great work for a very economical fee and convenient payment plan. I am very happy that I decided to have Andy represent me as my immigration attorney.

EB2-NIW Approval

I am a scientist with training in molecular biology and a research background on RNA viruses. I worked with Andy and EllisPorter on my EB2-NIW petition and got it approved outright without any RFEs. I initially consulted Andy about a year before filing and he advised me on the options available for m...e and the stategies for filing my petition. He offered me their expedited application option (i.e. with no letters of recommendation) with Approval or refund guarantee. I eventually retained them and they prepared my petition promptly i.e. in a few weeks. Due to Covid related backlogs at the USCIS, my application took long to be processed. When i became eligible for the new EB2-NIW premium processing, Andy advised me on how to file for premium processing which i did and my application was approved in a couple of days. I highly recommend Andy and EllisPorter for applicantions in the highly-skilled EB categories.

The best in the business

Initially, I approached Ellis Porter and a different attorney located in Ann Arbor for my EB1A I-140 petition. Ellis Porter was confident in my case and offered me a full refund in case of denial for my EB1 petition, whereas the other attorney told me to file after some years. Before signing the reta...iner, Ellis Porter was generous and humble in addressing all my questions and fears. Andrew Ingebritson from Ellis Porter handled my case diligently and efficiently. Andrew Ingebritson and his paralegal, Stephen Lin, were always responsive, fast, and punctual throughout the process, and they knew what they were doing. All the documents were prepared by them meticulously and without any delay. In various instances, whenever I had confusion, Andy always cleared it off with elaborate, clear, and concrete information. To be honest, I never had any telephone conversation with Andy until a week before shipping my final petition package. After submitting the petition using the premium processing option, I got an RFE from a tough USCIS officer who had issued several NOIDs and denials. Andy was very confident in my case and brushed off the RFE as a very easy thing to handle. But, I overanalyzed and overthought, and requested Andy to include unnecessary and unasked evidence to strengthen my case. Andy made lots of efforts to convince me not to include any extra evidence and assured me to take the whole responsibility if my petition gets denied. I trusted his professional advice and years of experience in dealing with my RFE. He respectfully argued using USCIS’s own clause to address the RFE, and finally, my petition got accepted. I was pleased and thrilled to hear the news, and I plan to retain Ellis Porter for my adjustment of status. Overall, Andy is outstanding and has enormous knowledge and experience to build a strong case. He makes all the efforts to walk the extra mile to win his clients’ trust and make sure the petition is successful. I highly recommend Andy to anybody who wants a peaceful and assured process.
