I retained Andy from Ellis Porter for my EB1A I-140 application. He answered all my questions promptly, and drafted a very strong petition and great letters of recommendation! I highly recommend Ellis Porter to anyone looking to self-petition an employment based green card!

Ellis Porter streamlined my NIW preparation process without cutting any corners. Their expedite service was not only efficient and saved me time, but it was also highly effective – my NIW case was approved in just 9 months! I’m definitely happy to recommend them to my colleagues. Great job Ellis Porter team! -Dr. J.B.

I would like to tell you about my experience on my immigration case working with Ellis Porter in 2020. I was trying to file a petition for my immigration in early 2020. My portfolio is not actually very strong using conventional criteria, but I did consider my background and experience had some uniqueness and interesting points. I firstly consulted with a law firm quite well-known across the nation, specialized in immigration, and they have a site in Ann Arbor. I was asked a set of routine questions and being told that I am not qualified. I tried to explain myself, but they stopped listening. Then I turned to Ellis Porter, recommended by my colleague, where Andrew and Jonathan work at. Similar sets of questions asked and I answered, same initial responses. However, this time, they did hear my second voice. They considered and agreed to take my case. I was very grateful as they did evaluate my qualifications and wanted to help me, not because my portfolio fits their templates and thus my case was easy money. Andrew started to help me to build the application dossier. He and his assistant were very responsive, drafting materials, answering my questions, addressing my concerns and everything. It was very efficient that it took 3 months from the day I signed the retainer to the day everything is ready to file, remember I did need to take some time to get the recommendation letters in between. The strategy of building my case was also very clear and effective. I have very few publications, as well as citations and reviews are zero. But I completed some great work in an micro-entity for the good of the nation and people in it. Andrew used internal and external testimonial letters to support my contributions, and pulled public records, awards and media news to support the benefits of the outcome of my work. 8 months after the submission, I heard back from USCIS, and my petition was approved straightly without any additional evidence requested. Note that 8 months was on the quick side of the required time frame for the review. Only 50% of all cases can be completed within 8 months back then. I have to give appraise to Andrew and his team for the quality of the work. I was so grateful and appreciated his aptitude and attitude on being an immigration attorney. There might be a lot of great lawyers out there, but what is the point if they don't want to spend time and energy on you, but just situated with easy cases and money making efficiency. I would highly recommend you to work with Ellis Porter, if you know you did some good work, but don't know how to present them to others.

Thanks to the hard work of your team, I have received the approval notice of my I140. Before consulting Ellis Porter, another famous law firm told me I don’t have enough citations to qualify for the NIW petition, and I was very discouraged. I am so happy to have found you because you assured me I still had an NIW case even though I am working in industry and have fewer citations. Ellis Porter really knows what’s required for the NIW petition, and they will get the job done. I have already talked to a number of people and sent them your way, and I plan to keep doing so. Thank you so much Ellis Porter! Dr. M.E.

I had a great experience with Ellis Porter. My lawyer (Andy) and his team were incredibly responsive and fast, and patient with my questions and worries. I used the expedited petition (per their suggestion) which skips recommendations, and I was worried it would cause delays or a rejection in my case but I was approved faster than I thought and there were no problems whatsoever in the process. The affidavit that they drew up for me was very well written on the first go, and with one back and forth we were ready to submit. I have a lot of friends who use different firms so I have heard a lot of complaints about badly written letters and long delays in responding to questions and finalizing documents, but I didn't encounter any such issues with Ellis Porter. Everything was much easier and faster than I predicted, and I recommend them to anyone who asks my advice (including my sister who is using them too)

Ellis Porter not only believed in my qualifications for an EB-1A visa but saw my immigrant case through to completion and approval in a timely manner. I am extremely grateful to my attorney Jonathan Goslow and his hardworking team for their commitment to presenting my credentials persuasively. I am proud of the high-quality petition they put together and thrilled by the positive outcome. Anyone looking for a skilled team to handle their visa petition should go straight to Ellis Porter.

My friend introduced me to Ellis Porter for the filing of my NIW. Even though I never saw any of their employees due to distance, I never felt alone. They responded very promptly to all my questions and concerns all through the process till I got my approval from USCIS. Andy Ingebritson and Emily Kirk demonstrated a high level of professionalism all through the process. I recommend Ellis Porter to future applicants.

I greatly appreciate the professional team at Ellis Porter, and especially John, who went above and beyond for my EB1A petition. My EB1A case was filed with premium processing and received an RFE, but John knew the best way to respond to ensure my case was quickly approved after we responded to the RFE. At every step along the way, he was available to answer my questions, explain his reasoning, and offer his top quality advice. I am very thankful for all of the efforts Ellis Porter has made for my case, and I strongly recommend their services to anyone looking to file the EB1A petition with experienced and knowledgeable attorneys who know how to get the job done. -Dr. R.G.

My Wife and I highly recommend Kathleen fish at Ellis Porter for immigration needs big or small. We have 100% confidence that they can handle it all. Katie worked with me and for several years due to the extent of my unforeseen issue with DHS. Katie gave us the hope and confidence that was needed during our stressful times. Katie's goal of winning our case was something she aimed high and hard for, in spite of her personal life milestones she stayed on top of our case and came out victorious. THANK YOU KATIE FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! Mohamed ,Tina and Noura.

I had a great experience working with Ellis Porter’s High Skilled Immigration team. They were very helpful and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Best of all, with their help my EB1A case was approved in under 7 months with no premium processing! I am very satisfied with their service, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to file the EB1A petition. -Dr. E.A.
