    We handle all aspect of U.S. employment-based immigration law.

John is an Attorney on our High-Skilled Immigration Services team working with clients from a variety of research, academic, and business fields who are seeking visas and green cards in the EB-1A Extraordinary Ability, EB-1B Outstanding Professor/Researcher, EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) and O-1 Extraordinary Ability immigration categories. Clients appreciate John's creative, comprehensive, and data-driven strategies for achieving successful outcomes in some of the more complex visa and green card categories.

Before joining Ellis Porter, John worked as an Attorney in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the high-skilled immigration field and played a key role in managing the legal strategies for thousands of EB-1A, EB-1B, EB-2 NIW and O-1 cases.

In the course of managing this high volume of applications, John soon realized that personally-customized EB-1A, EB-1B, EB-2 NIW and O-1 strategies consistently get better results than using a one-size-fits-all template approach, and this inspired him to co-found Immigration Advocates, PLLC with David Allen and Andy Ingebritson in July 2017. The firm's mission was to enhance each client's experience and improve case outcomes by focusing more on truly understanding their unique professional achievements, and then developing personally-customized case strategies that highlight those achievements in the most compelling way.

Ellis Porter shares this philosophy, so it made perfect sense for John and his attorney colleagues to join forces with Ellis Porter to create our High-Skilled Immigration Services team.

Outside the office, John enjoys spending time with his family, and spending time outdoors biking, running and hiking. He also enjoys sneaking in a good book about history, politics or law whenever possible.

Jonathan is also a duly elected representative to the Michigan State Bar Assembly representing his home Circuit District 22.

NIW I-140 petition
Thanks to the exceptional efforts of Ellis Porter's Immigration team, I was introduced to Ellis Porter PLC by a friend who recommended their assistance in filing my I-140 petition and handling my case with utmost confidence. To my delight, my NIW I-140 petition was approved in just a few months. I had the privilege of working closely with Jonathan D. Goslow, Billy Bert, and their support proved invaluable throughout the entire process. They offered exceptional guidance in gathering the necessary evidence and completing the required forms from the very beginning. In addition, I must emphasize the remarkable quality of the legal brief prepared by Ellis Porter, which brilliantly showcased their expertise and meticulous attention to detail. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of immigration assistance.

NIW
Here is my interesting experience: All my questions were replied within a day completely and precisely. The petition was carefully written . Porter team emphasize on the most important points on my career summary. My petition got approval in almost 3 month without a premium request. To be honest, I am so satisfied from the lawyer. Even at the beginning, they followed up on my progress since I was too busy with my work. They helped me to focus on significant part of my CV to write the summary of contribution. Porter Immigration firm carefully evaluates my case and I got an Approval/Refund service. It is totally valuable. Good luck with your applications.

NIW Approval
Choosing Ellis Porter was the best decision I made in applying for an NIW I-140. I worked with John Goslow and Billy Bert during my process. I was impressed from the start to the end. They were available when needed and responded to my questions promptly. They made the process seamless. They provided clear instructions on what they wanted from me to make my case. At the end, when I received my legal brief to review, I was extremely impressed. They exceeded my expectations. They made a very strong case for my NIW, which was approved in approximately 3 months by USCIS. I am so impressed by Ellis porter that I am retaining them for I485 filing process.

Excellent Performance of Job with EB2-NIW-petition application
I did my EB2-NIW-petition application with Attorney Jonathan Goslow, Ellis Porter with his Paralegal team Alex Winks. They drafted the case with a professional touch, having pulled all relevant documents together. Within a few months, the petition was approved, and I now have or received the approval letter/notice. Their dedication, professionalism, sincerity, efficiency, and commitment to their job is unwavering and outstanding. While waiting for the outcome of the I-140 approval, I often wrote them to check the status of my petition and require other information, and they would respond immediately, hence I strongly recommend to any individual seeking their support to do so without hesitation, as they are very efficient. Jonathan Goslow and Alex Winks in Ellis Porter, I value and appreciate all your support thus far. May God bless and keep you always, amen.

"I have worked with a lot of immigration lawyers around the US and when it comes to High-Skilled Immigration (EB-1A, EB-1B, EB-2 NIW, and O-1 visas), John and his team at Ellis Porter are among the very best! I have litigated incorrect denials of EB-1, EB2 and O-1 cases and when I get a rare denial of an Ellis Porter case, the work is always exemplary. These lawsuits usually result in USCIS implicitly admitting their mistake when they reopen and approve the requested green card. I cannot recommend John Goslow and Ellis Porter enough!"
