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.

Mr. Bert handled my case so prudently. He always responded me instantly and make sure of everything was drafted properly.

I had an excellent experience working with William Bert and his assistant on my EB-2 NIW petition. He is highly knowledgeable, professional, and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. William provided clear guidance at every step and carefully reviewed my materials. He was responsive througho...ut the process. I truly appreciate his work and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an experienced and reliable immigration attorney for EB-2 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.

Dismissive and paid little attention to case details

I worked with Billy Bert and his assistant, Janie. I did not have a good experience. I found their support and communications lacking in their timeliness and care. They were not pay attention to detail, in a matter which required such. - For example, I told Janie twice that the phone number on my ...documents were incorrect and they still submitted the wrong phone number. They did not follow through on tasks that they said they were going to complete. When I asked about the case status, I was told that it was still pending and they would submit a request .... almost two months after it had already been approved. I was the one who had to tell them that my case was approved. I am now trying to receive my original documents so that I can proceed with a different attorney.
