I successfully received my EB1A green card thanks to Sharif and the wonderful team at Silmi Law. I'm now happily settled in California, living out the next exciting chapter of my life. I previously left a review right after my EB1A petition approval in 2022, but having finally moved to the U.S. an...d experiencing my new life firsthand, I felt compelled to write an updated review out of immense gratitude. My journey with Sharif began in early 2021. At that time, I was running an online business in South Korea offering TOEFL-like English exam preparation courses. Initially, I wasn't sure if my career would qualify for an EB1A. However, Sharif methodically walked me through the USCIS's 10 criteria, clearly explaining how to strategically meet each requirement. Rather than simply elaborating on these criteria, Sharif expertly outlined how defining my field of expertise could significantly influence which criteria mattered most, guiding me based on his extensive experience and deep understanding of the process. As someone who thoroughly enjoys strategizing and "gaming the system," I immediately felt confident that he was the right attorney for me. Unlike attorneys who rush to start drafting petitions after a quick fee collection, Sharif advised patience and careful preparation. He meticulously guided me through an extensive period—nearly one year—of building solid evidence to support my qualifications. When we finally filed my petition in late 2021, it was incredibly robust and resulted in a smooth approval. Afterward, the Silmi Law team provided invaluable support through the consular processing and interview preparation phases. The team's detailed guidance and reassuring advice significantly eased my anxiety about the visa interview, ensuring that I went into it confidently and naturally. I particularly want to highlight Marylaine Viernes’s responsiveness and kindness. Sometimes Sharif wasn't immediately available due to the qualitative and strategic nature of his work, which required deeper reflection. During those nerve-wracking periods, Marylaine consistently reassured me and promptly addressed my concerns. Looking back, those periods of reflection actually benefited my petition, but naturally, the high stakes involved made me particularly anxious, making Marylaine’s supportive presence invaluable. Ultimately, despite the lengthy processing times at USCIS and NVC, I successfully received my immigrant visa in early 2024 and moved to Southern California in July. I've settled comfortably into my new life and even fulfilled my long-held dream of co-founding an AI startup earlier this year. Experiencing the American dream firsthand, I've never felt more grateful. Currently, I'm consulting Sharif about a friend and employee who also hopes to immigrate to the U.S. from Korea. In my experience, Sharif is unquestionably the best when it comes to U.S. immigration law—there's simply no second choice. It feels incredibly meaningful to go from applicant to referrer, all thanks to Sharif and his remarkable team. I'm truly grateful to the entire Silmi Law team for enabling me to begin this new chapter of my life. To anyone reading this, I sincerely wish you the same wonderful results and the opportunity to live your own next life chapter!
