NIW I-140: from preparation to approval

David and his team helped me with the NIW I-140 application from preparation to filing. I could not wish for a better lawyer! The whole process was smooth as David guided me through every step of the way and I did not have to worry about anything. They careful assessed my portfolio, indicated its str...engths/weaknesses, and gave their best professional advise on how to make the case stronger. You can really tell that they have a lot of experience and know what works best in each particular case. They prepared all the necessary letters and exhibits for the petition, and provided helpful references for drafts. David always replied quickly to all my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend his services for anyone looking for quality and efficient professional help in Green Card petition. Thank you David! Really appreciate everything you've done!

Knowledgeable, accurate, caring, and fast

David was my lawyer for I-140 application and I can't ask for a better one. The whole process from the petition preparation to writing the recommendation letter to even the case approval was so quick and seamless. When I received the first draft of my petition, I was so amazed how informed he was. Ex...cept some typos and some jargon mistakes, I could not find any other flaw. The whole petition was like a novel, coherent, concise and right to the point backed up by some great articles from some creditable sources to prove my projects have national interests. The whole petition and all the required exhibits were prepared in a great order. Moreover, he wrote the best recommendation letters I could think of. Receiving the list of recommender candidates, he did in-depth researches about them and highlighted part of their resumes where I could gained the best benefits from. It's worth to mention, all my recommenders signed their drafts without even changing a word. He also had a good taste and insights of what to be emphasized and what not. He has such a good personality; he cares about his clients a lot and tries to respond to their concerns and questions ASAP. I was determined about his abilities from day zero when I was first introduced. I am grateful about his instructions and guidance throughout the whole process and wish him the best in his career.
