Reviews

My experience with Ellis Porter was more than satisfactory. I obtained the Green Card in less than two years and the firm provided the expertise and the needed support.

I had a great experience with the team at Ellis Porter. I worked with Sean and Fiona, who helped me prepare my I-140 NIW petition. Their work was thoughtful, careful, and efficient, and they were prompt and friendly in their communications. I believe contributed significantly to the successful approval of my petition. I have the highest regard for Ellis Porter based on my experience, and I will be recommending them to others in my community. – S.A., M.Sc.

Great and fast!

Very fast and reliable

I worked with Andy for my initial I-140 NIW petition and cannot thank him enough for his invaluable support for my I-140 NIW petition. He was very accurate and trustworthy. I would highly recommend him. After my NIW was approved, I continued working with Ellis Porter’s team on my I-485 adjustment of status. Xuemeng Fitch and Tommy Steinhilber filled my I-485 case. My I-131 application got denied in a month, which was quite unexpected. I went through reviews people wrote for Ellis Porter Law Firm and Chen Immigration Law Associates, checked existing Whatsapp group chats, Reddit, etc. Never saw anyone get rejected for I-131. Those forms are extremely simple and do not even require a lawyer to fill them out correctly. There were multiple mistakes in my form completed and reviewed by Xuemeng Fitch and Tommy Steinhilber. I am extremely unsatisfied with Xuemeng Fitch. She was not accurate, was not responsible or helpful, she was not transparent, and more importantly she caused me a great deal of stress in addition to delaying the processing of my AP application. She is the reason that I had to do my medical exam twice, which is very expensive to do. She is not honest and transparent. When she emailed me regarding the rejection of my AP application, she said “we received a rejected package from USCIS this morning concerning your AP application. I reviewed it and believed the rejection is in error.” She thought I would not review the rejection notice myself, that’s why she lied about what exactly happened. When I reviewed the rejection notice and confronted her and told her that according to the rejection notice, there were multiple problems with my application, she had no choice but to admit. She used pages from multiple edition dates of the same form and there was also a missing page in my application. USCIS also opened my sealed medical exam and returned it to Xuemeng’s office after rejecting the application. When I told her that I demand to be reimbursed for the medical exam fee, she said it’s USCIS’s problem, they shouldn’t have opened and returned your medical exam envelope. She is not reasonable and cannot take responsibility for her mistake. USCIS wouldn’t need to return the medical exam if the AP application was prepared correctly, but she couldn’t admit this. When I told her that I need the returned medical exam envelope in case it helps me do the second medical exam cheaper she said their staff shreds opened medical exams upon receipt for privacy reasons, so they don't have my medical exam anymore. I ended up paying another $385 to redo my medical exam. I couldn’t go to the first doctor that conducted my medical exam as I was not living in the same city anymore and getting a flight ticket to go back to my old doctor would be even more expensive than doing the second medical exam with a new doctor. Beyond unhappy and unsatisfied with Xuemeng Fitch and Tommy Steinhilber. I already told her that I have to write a transparent review of her/Ellisporter's performance, and she encouraged me to do so!

Following a friend's recommendation, I approached Ellis Porter PLC for my NIW application and couldn't be more grateful for the suggestion. Their team's expertise and the firm's esteemed reputation were evident throughout the process. What stood out was not just Jillian's ability to simplify a daunting process but also the remarkably swift approval of my application in just 90 days—a timeline much quicker than the usual 4-6 months. This efficiency, coupled with their personalized support, made my experience not only successful but truly exceptional. I highly recommend Ellis Porter PLC for their outstanding services in immigration law. Thank you for exceeding my expectations.

I was referred through a good friend of mine to work on my I140. The firm was very quick to respond and also working with the attorney and case manager assigned to me was very smooth. Compared to some other firms, the requirements for documentation was less at EP. I would highly recommend the firm to anyone who is planning to apply for their NIW

Ellis Porter PLC is simply the best for filing employment-based petitions (NIW I-140). They are sincere, clear, articulate, succinate, timely and excellent in explaining and filing employment-based petitions. You are in safe hands with them. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing reliable and effective legal representation.
