Ellis Porter is an immigration law firm founded in 2003 that advises global employers and individuals on US immigration law. For highly skilled technical workers - including those in artificial intelligence and related fields - the firm's High-Skilled Immigration practice handles EB-1A and EB-1B petitions, National Interest Waiver (NIW) cases, and O-1 visas for individuals of extraordinary ability. These are the principal routes by which researchers, engineers and specialists secure permanent residence or temporary status in the United States.
The firm's work extends beyond individual petitions. Its Business Immigration practice covers temporary business visas, work visas, investment visas and employment-based green cards, supporting companies that recruit internationally. Separate practices address the healthcare and sports sectors, while Individual and Family Immigration handles marriage-based visas, family-based green cards, naturalization and citizenship matters.
Ellis Porter operates from three offices: Troy, Michigan; Ann Arbor, Michigan; and London, UK. The firm describes its approach as providing clear guidance, creative strategies and responsive service, with an emphasis on simplifying the immigration process for clients across sectors.
