Jillian Marie Marchi

I contacted several law firms in Jul-Sept 2021 for my EB2-NIW petition, but none accepted my case except Ellis Porter (EP). Most of them rejected me, saying I better wait one more year as they did not find my case strong enough to get approved. However, thankfully, Ellis Porter was very confident tha...t my case could get approved with 4-6 expert letters, my Ph.D., and work experience. I worked with attorney Jillian and paralegal Celia, who made my petition amazingly relevant for all the NIW prongs! I found Jillian very effective and SO kind, and I received a response to any questions within 5 hrs or so. The petition and letters were well-designed and well-written, and I did not put my pen on any of the sentences. What I found notable is Jillian's legal suggestions; she meticulously went through my career summary (I took a more extended period than expected, though) and delivered a robust final petition that linked my research works with the US interest in a substantial way. As a result, I got my I-140 approval in five months. My overall experience with Jillian (and EP) was excellent, and I highly recommend her to prospective NIW applicants. Thanks, attorney Ms. Marchi, for a successful NIW journey.

Jillian responded fast to my questions and thereby guided me well through the i-140 filing process. The application for my case was so well written and done that it was processed without any RFE, nor did I need a letter of reference. After submitting my NIW I got a positive outcome within months, whi...ch I am sure is also a result of a well-done application. Overall my expectation was exceeded.

Jillian Marchi handled my I-140 case and it was a splendid experience from the beginning until the end when the approval was issued. Her professionalism and swift responses to key and pressing issues gave me confidence and belief to keep going even though at some I got tired of the too many documents... required for my case. Moreso, I got approval from USCIS in less than 6 months from submission, which is an outstanding feat.

I had the great pleasure of working with attorney Jillian Marchi and her paralegal Catherine at Ellis Porter to file my EB2-NIW and EB-1A petitions. During the initial consulting for my NIW petition, John was very efficient and replied back so quickly by explaining all the details about my file and c...orrectly advised me to choose the expedited option based on the strength of my overall credentials and citation record. we started working together to prepare the NIW case, Jillian's instructions regarding the supporting documentation were easy to follow and her response to my queries was prompt. My NIW petition was approved without the need for additional evidence within 5 months and I chose to retain Jillian’s services for my EB1-A petition which was also approved today without any additional evidence. I have many friends who were with different law firms and have told me that their process took a long time to be filed. I was so impressed by Jillian and Catherine's work and their prompt responses to all the questions I asked during my EB-1A and EB-2 NIW case process. I would highly recommend Ellis Porter law firm for all my friends for their immigration needs. Really happy to work with Jillian and Catherine.
