NIW Pettition

I had the pleasure to work with David and his team regarding my NIW case (approved). From the beginning, even before signing a contract, he provided useful information and strategies and was very supportive and assured me that I had a great chance, unlike other attorneys I was interviewing at that ti...me. I have realized that his knowledge in NIW cases is excellent. During the process David was very patient, and very responsive. Any questions I had was replied quickly and with detailed information. It was a great experience working with David and his team.

You're almost certain of positive result when David works on your case

You're almost certain of a positive result when David works on your case or at least sure to expect being well informed and kept in the loop about your case. One thing I admired about David is the quick turnaround time. He helped me submit the EB2 NIW and we prepared and submitted every document in... 1 and a half months (most delays were on my end).

Succesful NIW process

Working with David Allen was so delightful. I really appreciate him making my case strong enough to result in an approval stage. I reached out to him and Ellis Porter while so many other lawyers denied my case as my scientific papers and conference journals hadn't high number of citations. But, he as...sured me from the beginning that my case has enough other evidences such as international awards and papers to showcase to USCIS as proof that I have a scientific contribution to my field. I also would like to add that the preparation of evidences and filing my case was a very smooth and fast process with David. I am absolutely satisfied and grateful for the service I received. Thank you!

EB2-NIW

David has been very helpful in the process of getting my EB2-NIW submitted and approved. He has guided me throughout the process, from getting recommendation letters to legal briefs drafted as well as ensuring the forms were filled correctly. I felt confident in the process of preparing this case bas...ed on his experience. He was also very responsive making it possible to have the package ready in about 2 months.
