EB2 I-140 got accepted within four months

I recently had the pleasure of working with David, who successfully filed my EB2 NIW I140 and got it accepted within just four months without any request for further evidence. I was impressed by how quickly he filed a strong case for me, even without recommendation letters from my field's experts. Wh...enever I had any questions during the preparation process, he responded quickly and provided helpful answers. Additionally, I must thank Madelynn for her excellent assistance throughout the entire process. I strongly recommend David to anyone looking for immigration assistance. Thank you for all your hard work!

Exceptional

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service I received during my EB2-NIW petition process. Specifically, I would like to highlight the exceptional work of my attorney, David Allen. His expertise and dedication were paramount in securing the success of my appl...ication. From the beginning, David provided me with detailed guidance and support, answering all my questions and concerns in a timely and professional manner. He was always available to discuss any issue that arose, and his clear communication style and extensive knowledge of the process made the whole experience much less stressful than it could have been. Despite the tight timeline of one and a half months for preparing the case, David was able to deliver an impeccable submission that highlighted my credentials and strengths. His attention to detail was remarkable, and his thoroughness ensured that nothing was overlooked. I am thrilled to say that my EB2-NIW petition was approved within three months of submission, a testament to the quality of the work done by David and the entire team at Ellis Porter. I could not be happier with the outcome, and I would highly recommend David and the firm to anyone in need of immigration legal services. Once again, thank you for your exceptional work and support. I am deeply appreciative of your efforts and will be forever grateful for your help.

My form I-140 Case Approved

David put my case together and made it look awesome. The path toward making a case for my area of expertise as a medicinal chemist was a stroke of genius. No one will go through my petition and will resist the approval. It was well-written and articulated by David and his team. David also responded q...uickly to my concerns. The process was simple and worth paying through to achieve this success; finally, my case was approved.
