Highly recommend!

I retained Jonathan Goslow with Ellis Porter’s High-Skilled Immigration team for my EB1A petition. I was immediately impressed with Jonathan’s detailed review of my case. He carefully crafted a case strategy that was specialized to suit my field and my credentials – it was very clear to me from the o...nset of working with Jonathan that he takes pride in customizing my legal brief and recommendation letters to suit the evidence I can provide. After we filed my EB1A petition, I received an RFE challenging my original contributions being of major significance. Even though it was disheartening and somewhat scary to receive an RFE after working so hard on my case preparation, Jonathan reassured me that not only did he have close experience handling RFEs, but also that he had an action plan in place to respond to this officer’s concerns. After submitting a response to the officer’s RFE using the strategy Jonathan provided, my EB1A was approved! I could not be happier that I chose Jonathan to handle my case – the reassurance he provided me throughout the RFE response process was invaluable. For anyone who wants to have a safeguard in case of an RFE, I strongly recommend the High-Skilled Immigration team to handle your petition. Jonathan was recommended to me by a colleague who also had a great experience and now I’m happy to recommend him.

Review Jonathan D.Goslow

As an expert in the intersection of data science and finance, I knew at the onset of my NIW preparation that I needed an attorney who would take time to understand what I do. Working with Jonathan made my NIW preparation fast, efficient, and stress-free. I was reassured throughout my case preparation... process that I could easily contact my attorney with any questions about my case and receive a response in just a short time frame. Not only was Jonathan always accessible throughout my case preparation, but the materials he prepared for my case were of the highest quality. My NIW was approved in around seven months, without an RFE. Jonathan made the entire case preparation process so simple, and I would recommend to anyone who feels overwhelmed by this process to contact Ellis Porter for your case. – S.J.

NIW EB-2 approval with John

It has been a great experience working with the attorneys from Ellis Porter High Skilled Immigration team. Working on my NIW petition with John, he provided detailed feedback on the evidence documents I uploaded and advised me about the best way to move forward with my case. I am grateful for his ass...istance, and I believe my petition was successful in large part due to his guidance. I’d be happy to recommend Ellis Porter to any mechanical engineering researcher who is considering filing the NIW petition. Mr. J.M.

NIW petition

As a doctoral student, I contacted the Ellis Porter immigration attorneys knowing that I was investing a significant amount of time and money towards the next step of my immigration goals. It was therefore incredibly important to me that my attorney would be responsive and detailed in their work. ...I am basically an electrical engineer, so I came up with a research plan to find the best attorney. I read a lot about the process and came up with a list of questions that I would ask different attorneys. I contacted so many immigration attorneys all over the US. To be honest Jonathan Goslow stood out in so many ways, he was sincere, very realistic in his answers, very responsive, straight to the point, very patient, and aware of the immigration system and how you should approach it based on your current situation. I ultimately retained Jonathan to handle my NIW petition, and I am so glad I did! Jonathan was not only thorough and reassuring throughout the process, but he also provided me with high-quality recommendation letters and a legal brief in a short period of time. To say that I’m impressed by his work is an understatement! Jonathan offers very high-quality services for affordable fees and there are no hidden/sudden fees, he explains clearly everything upfront. His team is highly qualified and very responsive as well, thank you Chelsea Affholter. This is a journey where you should be very careful whom you will eventually choose. It is worth mentioning that I went on different websites to see immigration lawyers’ ratings and I want to emphasize that those ratings do not reflect the truth of an actual winning rate. I know other colleagues choose other attorneys, which I rolled out during my selection, and unfortunately, their cases did not go through, knowing that they paid way more fees and there were a lot of hidden fees. Thank you again to the High-Skilled Immigration Team, especially Jonathan Goslow.

After speaking with attorney Jonathan Goslow, it was clear to me that the high-skilled immigration team has extensive experience in handling cases with credentials similar to my own. Though I knew my credentials were good, I wanted to make sure that I was placing my case in the very best hands. Not o...nly was John able to get my case filed in just a few short months, but I was so impressed with his handiwork that I retained Ellis Porter to simultaneously prepare my AOS application. My results speak for themselves! For anyone who already feels confident about their credentials but wants to make sure their case is in the best possible care, I cannot recommend Ellis Porter highly enough.

"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!"
