Michael Ryvin

A little over a year ago, we were seeking immigration representation. Our US electronics company was selling a majority of our business to a foreign corporation specializing in custom automated machinery and metal parts. We needed to transfer an engineering manager from Asia to the US to lead our exp...anding team designing, selling, installing, and servicing this high tech manufacturing equipment. This business expansion could not be accomplished without the transferring manager`s technical expertise here in the US. The problem: our US based company had under $400,000 in annual sales and only one W-2 salaried employee. After contacting immigration attorney after immigration attorney, including top rated business immigration specialists, we were given little hope. And then we met Michael. Michael asked very probing questions, studied our business plan and supporting documentation, determined our new manager qualified for the L-1A and EB-1C visas, and presented our extremely complicated case including around 800 pages of evidence so eloquently in his writings that the merits of the case popped out and were obvious. While preparing said documentation, the applicant`s wife developed a very serious medical condition which required she either travel very soon or she would not be able to fly for 5 months, a delay which would have devastating impact on our newly expanding business. Michael was determined to rapidly complete the application. He worked from 9AM in the morning to past 1AM at night, day after day, including Thanksgiving, until it was filed. Michael successfully obtained the L-1A visa a few weeks after submitting the application and the EB-1C based green card less than 3 months after filing the application for our firm`s new General Manager. Today, our company has three full time W-2 employees and a number of technical sales experts across the country. We have installed hundreds of thousands of dollars of our manufacturing equipment, bringing manufacturing jobs back to the USA. We have patents pending for our unique technologies. And all of this was possible because of Michael. It is difficult to convey the gratitude we feel to this extremely insightful, relentless, results oriented, honest, good-hearted, pleasant man. If your business is seeking representation to temporarily or permanently transfer an international manager to the US, and you want an attorney superbly knowledgeable and published in Bender`s Immigration Bulletin for his works in this specialized niche of immigration law, who cares enough to make this kind of herculean effort, I recommend them Sincerely, Derek PPM Inc
