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.

Review on I-140 Approval

I am extremely grateful for the exceptional legal services provided by William Bert in obtaining my I-140 approval, which will lead to my green card under the NIW EB2 category. Throughout the entire process, William was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive. From the initial consult...ation, he demonstrated a thorough understanding of the NIW EB2 requirements and provided clear guidance on how to navigate the complex immigration process. He answered all of my questions promptly and with great detail, ensuring that I was well-informed at every stage. William was always available to address any concerns I had and went above and beyond to provide comprehensive assistance. His dedication and expertise were instrumental in the success of my case. I highly recommend William Bert to anyone seeking immigration legal services. He is a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcomes. Thank you, William, for your outstanding support and for making my green card journey a smooth and successful one!

i140 approval without any recommendation letter!

I was so lucky to work with William Bert for my immigration case, and I couldn't be happier with the support he provided throughout the whole process. He paid incredible attention to detail when preparing and reviewing my documents, and he was always there when I needed help! He's knowledgeable, expe...rienced, and he genuinely cares about his clients.

NIW

Billy helped craft put my NIW petition together through Ellis Porter. Billy is quite responsive, respectful and is also a great communicator. I loved how he listened to my suggestions for modifications in my petition after he did a great job crafting it. If I have to do this again in the future, I wi...ll choose Billy and Ellis Porter over again. I got my decision 70 days after my case was filed. I have recommended Ellis Porter to a lot of my friends and that is a credit to the excellent work that Billy and everyone like him do to help folks like me go through this potentially stressful application process in the least stressful way possible.
