Jim Arkell

I was fortunate to know and work with Dunn Law Firm for my NIW green card application. On the first day, Jim Arkell was the first person from Dunn Law I contacted and shared all helpful information regarding the payments, documents, and timelines for the application process. Although the entire proce...ss is never shortened in the Immigration Office, I was happy that we had no issues or additional documents required after the submission. At the moment I received the news of the approval notice, I felt extremely grateful to Jim and the whole team in Dunn Law.

I cannot understate how impressed and pleased I was with the service Jim and his team (and particular Kayla) provided me and my wife as we applied for an EB-2 NIW and AOS. It started with a free consultation call where Jim was positive about my chances of being approved for an EB-2 NIW and clearly la...id out my options with regard to submitting petitions and the implications for work and travel during the time our petitions were being processed. Once I hired Jim, he and his team guided us through the process of collecting documentation and letters. They were clear about what was required and were able to advise a course of action when certain documents were delayed. My impression was they were incredibly comprehensive in the package they put together for submission. And then, at the time of submission, came the most important advice we received, in my mind: We were planning to submit our petitions for I-140 and AOS concurrently, because during that time the dates were current. In November 2022, Jim and his team communicated with us that dates were retrogressing for EB-2s in December 2022 and so if we wanted to submit concurrently, the petition would have to be received by USCIS by November 31. That started a rush to collect the last of the documentation. In addition, Jim and his team advised that we could submit medical exams later when they were requested by USCIS, as these were only valid for 6 months from the time of the examination. I estimate these two pieces of advice saved us several years of waiting (the most important) and close to $1000. The first piece of advice, that we file concurrently in November, was incredibly insightful. Even though, up to then, the EB-2 had been current, after December 2022 the EB-2 filing and priority dates retrogressed for the next year and a half. If we had filed the I-140 and AOS petitions separately, we would only have been able to file our AOS early this year (2024). Instead, we received our green cards at that time. Secondly, because of the severe backlog of EB-2 petitions, our medical exams would definitely have expired and my wife and I would have needed new medical exams anyway. Jim and his team had impressed me throughout the process, but realizing the huge impact these two pieces of advice made me that much more grateful that I hired Jim and his team to guide us through this process.

I am incredibly grateful to Mr. Jim Arkell and his team at Dunn Law Firm for their outstanding support and guidance throughout my immigration journey. Their expertise and knowledge in immigration law are truly commendable. They first helped me secure approval in the EB2-NIW category and later filed f...or my I-140 in the EB1A category, both of which were successfully approved. I just got approval on my I-485 as well. Their deep understanding of the complexities involved in these cases was evident every step of the way. In addition to their expertise, Mr. Jim Arkell and his team were always responsive and supportive. They promptly answered all my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process, significantly reducing my stress and uncertainty. There were instances where they were working over weekends in order to file my petition on time. Furthermore, their services were very affordable, offering competitive rates without compromising on quality. Their transparency regarding fees and the value they provided made a significant positive impact on my experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Jim Arkell and Dunn Law Firm to anyone seeking immigration legal services. Their professionalism, dedication, and client-centered approach have been invaluable in helping me achieve my dream of obtaining a green card. Thank you, Jim Arkell, Kayla Clark and Brittany Martin, for your excellent service and for making this important milestone possible.

I used attorney Arkell's service for an EB-2 NIW application, which he recommended as a first step towards permanent residency for my profile. Jim and his team (Kayla in particular) were incredibly helpful and responsive, taking time to answer all my questions in great detail. I had an introductory ...call with Jim Arkell, where he laid out the main options for my Green Card application (mainly EB-1 and EB-2 NIW), recommending that we pursue EB-2 as it would be more likely to succeed, despite requiring longer time for approval. He was very reassuring and he saw great chances of my case being approved. After filing I-140, we did discuss going down the EB-1 path in parallel, as an alternative in case EB-2 would take too long, but he was very honest in suggesting that I do not invest my money in an additional application. His recommendation was for me to wait and have confidence in the EB-2 application, which was eventually approved without RFE! Wait time for the NIW was 9 months, in line with the expectations set by the firm at the start of the process (maybe closer to the higher end of the range). I am very grateful to attorney Arkell and his team for taking on my case and making it a strong one. Looking forward to relying on his services for the Adjustment of Status.

I consulted Jim for my Eb2 case, Jim and his team was very intentional in ensuring my case was approved. They responded to emails quickly and kept me informed at every stage of the application and my case was approved without any RFE, The monthly scheduled payments made it easier for me to afford the...re services. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants an excellent immigration Attorney.
