Great Experience!

Working with David and Israel from Ellis Porter on my EB-2 NIW case was an outstanding experience. Their professionalism and expertise were clear from the start, providing prompt and sincere support throughout the process. They prepared my application meticulously, ensuring a successful outcome. I am... deeply grateful for their hard work and dedication, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of expert legal representation in immigration matters. Overall a great experience.

I-140 application

David evaluated my profile and recommended that I apply for EB2-NIW. He was confident that my application was strong for the category - and he was right. David and his team were very supportive throughout the process of document prep and application. They walked me through the entire process and we s...ubmitted a strong application. My I-140 was approved in a few months, and no RFEs !

EB2 NIW I-140

David and his team helped me with my EB2 NIW petition for I-140 that got approved in a little over 3 months. He was prompt and precise in responding all my queries from day 1. It has been a great pleasure working with David. Great professionalism overall.

Excellent Attorney

First, I want to very much thank David for his excellent services. David accompanied me through the whole visa process - from application to successful issuance. He quickly processed any information that I provided and I got quick feedback on any request or any new development from the immigration p...rocess. Most feedbacks were provided even on the same day. The preparation of all required documents by and together with David went straight-forward, quick, and very professional. It was a pleasure working with David. My best wishes to David!

My review for Mr. David Robert Allen

First of all, I am so happy that I decided to work with the Ellis Porter group for my green card application. Secondly, I am so delighted to choose Mr. David Allen and his team for my application and I am really grateful for that. From my experience with Mr. Allen and his team, I must say they are re...ally precise, responsible, and organized. The way that Mr. Allen prepared my I-140 petition with all the necessary documents was awesome and perfectly written especially how they described my scientific background and skills and how they could perfectly address them to my current scientific activity and, finally the way that they showed my current work importance which was the reason that I got approved for my I-140 very fast. Mr. Allen and his team are always great in communication and very fast in responding to my messages and questions. Therefore, I strongly recommend Mr. Allen and his team and I feel very happy working with them throughout my green card application.
