NIW I-140 Approval – Highly Recommend!

Jonathan and Caitlyn delivered exceptional service from start to finish. Jonathan’s free initial evaluation predicted a 99% success rate—and they made it happen! They meticulously prepared every document, crafted a persuasive story, and prioritized flawless communication. Responsive, detail-oriented,... and strategic, they turned a complex process into a stress-free journey. For anyone filing an NIW case, I 100% recommend Jonathan and his team.

My Testimony

I am glad to share my NIW application (I-140 petition) experience which was approved by USCIS in only 4 months without any RFE. This was possible with the help of Jonathan Goslow and his teams at the Ellis Porter PLC. After a free profile evaluation by Ellis Porter PLC, I was offered with an exped...ite service which does not entail any reference letter for the application. I worked with Jonathan and his teams by submitting all necessary documents and information to prepare my petition. Jonathan prepared high-quality legal brief for my petition and when I was reading the draft copy of the legal brief, I was wondering where he got all the information about my areas of specialization and professionalism because everything was detailed information. My petition was filed in November 2022 and it was approved in March 2023 (4 months) I would highly recommend Jonathan and his teams as the best attorney to my colleagues. Thank you for the job well done

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

EB-2 NIW Approved.

I am truly overjoyed at the approval of my I-140 petition! I feel very fortunate that Ellis Porter’s High-Skilled Immigration team took my case on and guided me to an EB-2 approval, including a national interest waiver. I really cannot imagine what it would have been like to have handled this petitio...n on my own. I am international medical graduate with 2 masters degrees. I approached some law firms and after paid consultations, I was told that I did not satisfy the requirements for the EB-2 NIW. I reached out to Ellis Porter as a last resort. Thankfully, Jonathan Goslow consulted with me for free, took a look at my CV and mapped out a strategy that was unique to my qualifications, experience and skillset. Johnathan and his assistant, Emily had everything under control. No detail or issue escaped their attention. They were reassuring, thoughtful, and thorough in every possible respect. My legal brief was crafted in such a way that highlighted some of my accomplishments that I would have otherwise overlooked or deemed minor. After reading the brief, even I was convinced of my exceptional ability! I am delighted to share my success with EP and HSI. This is as much my victory as theirs! – Dr. I. I.

Excellent work on an NIW application

I was so pleased with the NIW application you put together for me that I have already lost count of the number of friends/colleagues that I have shared your free assessment link with (even before the approval!). So needless to say, I will continue to recommend your services. Thank you for your excel...lent work on this. After more than a decade on a student visa, I am so happy to finally qualify for more employment and research funding opportunities as well as travel internationally with significantly less barriers. -Dr. S. Y.

"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!"
