I filed my I-140 petition with Belly through Ellis Porter, and I am extremely satisfied with their services. They organized my application meticulously and presented my expertise in a highly systematic manner, clearly aligning it with U.S. national interests and requirements. Throughout the process,... communication was smooth, timely, and professional. I initially filed under regular processing in July 2024. As my priority date became current, I consulted their team regarding upgrading to premium processing. They thoughtfully recommended proceeding with premium processing, which proved to be an excellent decision , my case was approved within 45 business days. This approval allowed me to promptly move forward with filing my I-485 adjustment of status application, which I have also entrusted to Ellis Porter. I appreciate their strategic guidance and professionalism, and I look forward to a positive outcome.

Satisfied with my experience on EB2-NIW case

Billy Bert handled my EB2-NIW petition. He and his team drafted a strong case. He is efficient, experienced, responsive, and knows how to make a convincing case. I got approved recently. I highly recommend him for EB2-NIW cases.

They know how to handle EB2 NIW petition

I hired Ellis porter LLC for my EB2 NIW application and they filed I-140 petition for me, which came out with positive results. I got EB2 NIW approved because of their professionally crafted services in handling a plethora of my educational documents from bachelor to PhD level, research publications ...and citations and other documents and preparing a very strong legal brief. I strongly recommend Ellis Porter LLC for this service, especially thanks to Attorney Billy and his paralegal assistant Janie who walked with along all the way.

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.
