Accurate / Responsive / Supporter

I worked with David Allen for my EB2-NIW case and he was absolutely helpful throughout the whole process. The documents I was asked to prepare were normal (nothing strange that needs a lot of time to prepare), the legal brief was written perfectly within an acceptable amount of time (3 weeks I believ...e), and the recommendation letters were written perfectly. I received an RFE after a couple of months submitting my I-140 form. The fact that you receive an RFE is very stressful but he was super helpful within this process as well. The strategy which was set to respond to the RFE was amazing and accurate! And finally, my I-140 case was approved. I definitely recommend David to others who want to start this journey.

David helped to get my EB-1A petition approved

David was the lawyer of several colleagues and friends of mine working in academia, who recommended David to me without hesitation. For my EB-1A petition, David gave me clear guidelines at the beginning and was involved in every single step of the preparation process: evidence collection, statement w...riting, recommendation letter drafting, and form filling, among others. David always gives timely instructions, feedback, and responses to my questions and emails. My petition was approved less than two weeks after submission. I am so excited with the outcome, and extremely grateful to the efforts of David and his team on my case! Thank you!

Superb Counsel (NIW application process)

David was very communicative and provided very good counsel with alternative suggestions to make my NIW application case solid. He worked super fast in responding to my emails and preparing of documents for my case. I felt valued and prioritized throughout the entire process. David was very thorough... in supporting the writing and reviewing of my case; and I clearly understood what the saying "crossing the t's and dotting the i's" meant when we were making the final preparations right before filing. I felt pretty confident about my case file, thanks to the work done by David. My case was adjudicated and approved in two and a half months (filed under normal non-express terms). I am grateful for the counsel and would strongly recommend David for anyone wanting to prepare an NIW case for adjudication

Very well versed and timely paperwork submission

I submitted my I-140 on end of January 2022 and got my I-140 approved on 8th of April 2022. Less than 3 months time. I am extremely happy and satisfied with the David's service as he has helped me preparing documentations and knew all aspect of application to cover. He knows his job and if you work... with him as he advices, I think it will be very easy for you to get approved.

Very smooth and fast

I have filed my I140 with David. It was a great experience working with him. Whenever I asked a question, I get my answer very quickly. The whole process was very smooth and straight forward. Every step has been done very fast and I was able to have my case prepared in 4 month.
