Complete EB-2 NIW Review: Process, Challenges & Success

Outstanding Attorney – Handled My Case and RFE with Excellence I had the privilege of working with Billy Bert from Ellis Porter for my EB-2 NIW petition, and the experience has been exceptional from start to finish. What truly stood out to me was how Billy handled a RFE (Request for Evidence) tha...t I received during the process. He approached the issue with a calm, professional demeanor and quickly built a strong, comprehensive response that addressed every concern raised by USCIS. His expertise and strategic thinking played a critical role in securing the approval of my case. Billy has been incredibly responsive, organized, and supportive throughout the entire journey. Immigration processes can be overwhelming and emotionally taxing, but his clear guidance and transparent communication helped me stay confident and focused. He took the time to understand my profile, patiently answered all my questions, and never made me feel like just another client. Thanks to his leadership and deep knowledge of immigration law, my EB-2 NIW was approved—despite the challenges. I genuinely believe that without Billy's involvement, the outcome might have been very different. I highly recommend Billy Bert and the Ellis Porter team to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced immigration attorney. They treat your case like their own, and that level of dedication is rare. Thank you, Billy, for your professionalism, empathy, and expertise. I’m deeply grateful.

Professional, Fast, and Highly Recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with William Bert on my NIW application, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and politeness. His dedication and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. What trul...y stood out was how quickly everything was handled. The entire process—from our initial consultation to the day my I-140 package was mailed to USCIS—took only 14 days! Even more impressive, my application was approved! While I did my best to keep up with the requirements, this timeline would not have been possible without his incredible speed and efficiency. His ability to respond promptly to my questions and provide clear guidance made a complex process feel manageable and stress-free. I want to express my sincere gratitude for William Bert's outstanding service. He is truly an expert in his field and made me feel confident every step of the way. If you are considering filing an NIW or any immigration petition, I wholeheartedly recommend William Bert. You will not be disappointed! Thank you again, William Bert, for your excellent work. You are great!
