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.

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.
