Super fast and professional

Jonathan was great! He was super fast in terms of responding and document preparation. To give an example, most of the time, he got back to me within 5-10 min of my inquiry which was impressive to me. He examined my case specifically and requested only the essential documents for approval. This ...significantly saved me time and money and reduced a lot of my workload. Overall, I was very well satisfied with Jonathan's service and he has my strong recommendation.

Trust the process and their expertise

I am happy to unequivocally recommend the services of Jonathan Goslow and the entire team at Ellis Porter. They provided top-notch legal services from start to finish. After my initial EB1A filing received an RFE, Jonathan and his team put together a comprehensive response arguing in my favor. When t...he same agent arbitrarily denied my petition, Jonathan and his team persisted, putting together a second comprehensive EB1A brief, which I am pleased to say was approved without issue. The talented attorneys at Ellis Porter were relentless in their pursuit of my case, and I am extremely appreciative of their hard work on my behalf.

Approval for EB2

I am extremely glad to recommend the services of Ellis Porter to my friends. I reached out to Jonathan Goslow and paralegal Emma Kessel in May 2022 and we began the process and their services are just extraordinary. In brief, they are very efficient, well organized and they responded swiftly to all ...my questions. After Jonathan finished drafting my legal brief and I went through, I was amazed at the simplicity yet detailed and very informative and my case was approved without RFE. I highly recommend the services of Ellis Porter. They are just amazing.

EB-2 approval

I had an amazing experience with Ellis Porter Law firm. Jonathan Goslow and Billy Bert were my lawyers, and the entire process went really smoothly. Jonathan initially reviewed my credentials in December 2022 and informed me that I had a strong chance for NIW approval. My case was then prepared by Bi...lly and Jonathan in a month. During this time, they responded very promptly to all my questions and email requests. I was very impressed with the legal brief that was prepared for me and how they advocated my petition. I was also really pleased with the arrangement of the exhibits, my documents and the overall presentation of my case. I was confident that they had made a strong case for me. I received my approval notice ONLY 8 days after it was filed (February 2023). I am not only happy because my case was approved but also because of how kindly I was treated. I recommend Ellis Porter Law Firm for anyone seeking highly effective lawyers who are committed to helping you through the immigration process. I am very grateful I chose them!

My Testimonial for EB2-NIW Petition Case with Ellis Porter

I approached Ellis Porter firm for my NIW petition and change of status with Ellis Porter attorney (Jonathon and Alex Winks). I got my I-140 petition prepared and submitted to USCIS within one month by Ellis Porter Team. I would have to say confidently that they have been fantastic! I investigated ma...ny options of hiring a firm for my EB2-NIW petition but was glad I went with Ellis Porter firm after strong suggestion from my friend who was very satisfied during his successful processing of EB2-NIW case in the past. Glade to share that my I-140 petitioned got approved within one and half month (February 2023). I would have to say that Ellis Porter team (Mr. Jonathon and Alex Winks) has been fantastic! They provided a comprehensive free evaluation based on my credentials for EB2-NIW case. Later, they were very fast, reliable, and invested in the success of my case. Their diligence, attention to detail, and organization allowed me to successfully apply and obtain a I-140 approval. During the petition formulation and even after the submission to USCIS, they were professionally organized, and super knowledgeable, and answered every questions promptly. Ellis Porter Paralegal (Alex) checked in with me repeatedly during the case preparation process to make sure everything was on track and prepared my case well for the final submission. Through the professional dealing of Ellis porter team, I felt great peace of mind which is worth the cost. I would highly recommend Ellis porter services for all immigration needs. I would seek their services again without hesitation if needed in the future! I recommend them wholeheartedly. Dr. Muhammad Zahid Afzal Durrani from Pakistan

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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!"
