Approved EB1-A in 14 days

I have filed my EB1-A I-140 application with Mr Andy Ingebritson and received approval within 14 days of my application (Premium processing). The process, starting from payment, document collection, and recommendation letters, was highly streamlined and straightforward to follow. I had a hard time wi...th serval lawyers taking my case, specifying the drawbacks of my case. Andy highlighted the same weaknesses in my case but followed up with an action plan to significantly increase my chance of success. This plan gave me confidence and motivation to put in the work to submit my application. I want to use this opportunity to thank Andy and his team for making my family's dream come true. With 100% confidence, I would recommend that Andy's team be able to make your EB1 application a success.

Highly recommended for your immigration case

I would like to tell you about my experience on my immigration case working with Andrew. I was trying to file a petition for my immigration in early 2020. My portfolio is not actually very strong using conventional criteria, but I did consider my background and experience quite different and interest...ing. I firstly consulted with a quite large and well known law firm across the nation specialized in immigration, and they have a site in Ann Arbor. I was asked a set of routine questions and being told that I am not qualified. I tried to explain but they stopped listening. Then I turned to Ellis Porter, where Andrew works at. Same questions asked and I answered. This time, they did hear me, and they agreed to take my case. I was very grateful as they did evaluate my qualifications and wanted to help me, not because my portfolio fits their template and my case is easy money. Andrew started to help me to build the application dossier. He and his assistant were very responsive, drafting materials, answering my questions, addressing my concerns and everything. It was very efficient that it took 3 months from the day I signed the retainer to the day everything is ready to file, remember I did need to take some time to get the recommendation letters. The strategy of building my case was also very clear and effective. I have very few publications, as well as citations and reviews are zero. But I did complete some great work in an micro-entity for the good of the nation and people in it. Andrew used internal and external testimonial letters to support my contribution, and also pulled public records and media news to support the benefits of the outcome of my work. 8 months after the submission, I heard back from USCIS, and my petition was approved straightly without any additional evidence requested. Also note that 8 months was also on the quick side of the required time frame for the review. Only 50% of all cases can be completed within 8 months back to the time I got the approval. I have to give appraise to Andrew for the quality of the work he did. I was so grateful and appreciated his aptitude and attitude on being an immigration attorney. There might be a lot of great lawyer out there, but what is the point if they don't want to spend time and energy on you, but just situated with easy cases and money making efficiency. I would highly recommend you to work with Andrew, if you know you did some good work, but don't know how to present them to others.

Highly responsive and patient, thorough

I had an amazing experience with Andy. He and his team were incredibly responsive (always an answer in the next business day, and unless it was a minor issue about filling documents, from Andy himself) and they were patient in addressing my reservations about skipping recommendations (I was advised t...o use the expedited service for NIW application, EB2), and they were right, too! My I-140 was approved much faster than I expected and we saved a lot of time in preparing the application. Also, the affidavit that they drew up for me was very well written and ready to send with one back and forth.

Great customer relationship skills

I filed my National Interest Waiver (NIW) with Ellis Porter using Andrew Ingebritson as my case attorney. He demonstrated a very high level of customer relationship skills by being considerate and promptly answering all the questions I had all through the process. I highly recommend him for future ap...plicants!

Excellent Service

Andy and his team were fantastic working with me in filing my I-140. I have always thought that without one being heavily published and cited, you cannot qualify for the 1-140 NIW program. They looked into my case and identified areas of strengths that met the criteria, and boom, it happened. To put ...this in context, I only have a master's degree with 6 years of experience, one indexed conference paper with one citation, two grants, few real-life impactful community projects among other things. I'm so grateful for their true professionalism and I deeply appreciate the fact that they were willing to put in the work based on its merit (unlike other immigration firms who were only interested in taking clients that won't require much work). To be honest, Ellis Porter stands out in this regard. I'm super proud of their work and will highly recommend them. Trust me, you will thank me later.
