I handled my EB-2 NIW application with Attorney Asım Kılınç and was truly pleased with the process. Great care was taken to present my academic work in the best possible way while my case was being prepared. I was clearly informed at every stage, and my petition was approved without an RFE. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone going through this process.
