About Jonathan
Biography
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 D. Goslow's Lawyer Endorsements
"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!"
