Specialized EB green card experts

I reached out to Ellis Porter after multiple disappointments from both large corporate firms and smaller boutique law firms. After the previous ones told me (twice) my case is not sufficient for EB1A, directed me to EB2 NIW, filed and got denied - I changed routes and reached out to Ellis porter. th...ey responded immediately, approving they will be happy to work with me and the case is strong enough so that they can guarantee approval or attorney fee refund. That further increased my confidence, as someone that is interested in the approval chances of course. Joey and Kara led the whole process. The instructions on required evidence was clear, the communication with Joey and Kara was always quick responses and very clear communication, which clarified every little question I had throughout the process, always happy to help. His advise was always the most professional and right one - for every dilemma I had. The phases that took longer - were due to the professional manner in which each evidence was reviewed. The legal brief was professional, and I almost had no comments - and this is a very complex technical field of foundational machine learning and AI. Eventually I got the approval with no RFE. They are experts in EB1A, and I would highly recommend anyone that is interested in specialties EB application, to work with Joey. I cannot emphasize enough how happy our family is to find such an expert.

I sincerely appreciate their thorough efforts in i...dentifying strong evidence and relevant references aligned with my proposed endeavor. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking expert guidance in skilled immigration.

Best EB2 NIW attorney you could work with.

Joey and his team were amazing with my NIW petition. I was overall concerned about the low citations, but I had an impact in other ways, which Joey helped me highlight in my application. After I got an RFE and felt discouraged, Joey's team was extremely helpful in putting together a very robust respo...nse. Overall, I could not have asked for better representation. He has done amazing work, and the communication was timely and easy to follow.

EB2-NIW I-140 approved: Highly recommend Joey.

Joey and his team did an amazing job with my EB2-NIW packet and my I-140 was approved without an RFE. He was always straight-forward and prompt in answering all of my questions. I was also very impressed with the amount of effort and research that the team put into preparing my application packet. I ...will definitely recommended Joey to anybody who is in the market for a lawyer but unsure about where to start.

EB2 NIW (Applied: 05/23/2025 | I-140 Approved: 07/15/2025)

My I-140 petition was handled by Joey Leverence and his colleague Shaq Stephenson at Ellis Porter. We’re really grateful for their help with preparing the documents and supporting us throughout the process. They were very professional and easy to work with. I was especially impressed with how they... highlighted my expertise for the national interest waiver, even though my field is still emerging globally. They did a great job digging deep into the topic and understanding the importance of my work. I truly appreciate the detailed and well-referenced report they prepared using relevant scientific journals. Their responses were always quick, and they offered solutions and suggestions whenever I had questions. Joey was consistently supportive and responsive during the entire process. I highly recommend their service to anyone looking for help with skilled immigration. They’re dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about what they do.
