Summary: Attorney Sharif is an immigration guru. You should definitely consult with him if you are looking for an intelligent, honest, and trustworthy immigration lawyer. When I was contemplating pursuing the EB-1A path for my Green Card a few months ago, I came across Attorney Sharif Silmi’s high...ly informational YouTube channel. When I was ready to move forward with my petition, I interviewed about ten immigration lawyers. I chose to move forward with him because of his in-depth experience in this area and unique insights & winning strategies he shared with me during the initial consultation call. I have worked with several immigration firms throughout my career on various employment visa-related issues, including a very well-known immigration firm that my employer retained in 2020 to petition an EB-1B case for me (which wasn’t successful). Compared to other immigration firms/lawyers, working with Attorney Sharif’s team was so refreshing and impressive. Attorney Sharif is highly detail-oriented, systematic, and methodological. He not only explained all the EB-1A requirements in detail, but he also described what I exactly need to do to satisfy those requirements and shared his insights on how a USCIS adjudicator would evaluate my petition. Attorney Sharif is passionate and committed. He and his team are highly reliable, approachable, and helpful. Outside of our regular video calls, I asked them a lot of questions, and they got back to me all the time within 24 hours. I got to participate in the entire process closely and felt like a core member of their team. He maintains a really high bar for quality. After the petition draft was ready, we went back and forth a few times to ensure that our final petition was of excellent quality. My EB-1A petition was filed with Premium Processing at the NSC in April 2021 and got approved within five days. After my EB-1A approval, he also filed an interfiling request to move my pending AOS petitions to the newly approved EB-1A petition. Attorney Sharif would go above and beyond to make you successful. He has a lifelong customer in me.

As a Happy, Thankful and Grateful client, I and my family shall always be indebted to Mr. Sharif and his A-team (Ms. Rabia, Ms. Gabriela, and Ms. Anais) for their wonderful support in making this life changing EB1A I-140 approval happen. I strongly recommend Mr. Sharif and his awesome team as a trusted partner in all immigration related matter, in particular for EB1A.

While searching for a credible EB1A lawyer I came across Mr. Sharif’s videos on YouTube on the topic and liked the fact that he doesn’t have a cookie cutter approach towards preparing EB1A petitions. Our case was unique, and we were under a time crunch to avoid one of my children from aging out. On c...ontacting his law firm his assistant, Ms. Rabia, scheduled an hour-long appointment where he reviewed my profile and agreed to take my case. He guided us like a visionary in what will qualify as a strong evidence and will help our case and what won’t. He guided us to narrow down my field of endeavor in Information Technology, so that evidence could be made unique, more persuasive and effective. He evaluated the evidence I provided of my achievements in my field of endeavor and presented it in a very persuasive manner. Unfortunately, my case received an RFE, but Mr. Sharif helped us very strategically and methodically to respond to the RFE. He does not take shortcuts or cut corners in preparing the petition or response to an RFE even if it goes beyond 500 plus pages. Now we have our approved EB1A I-140 in our hand that gives us a great sigh of relief. We are very-much 'THANKFUL' to Mr. Sharif. My family will always be grateful to Mr. Sharif and his awesome team (Ms. Rabia and Ms. Gabriela) for the marvelous work they have done. If I were to use just one word for him, I would call him a 'SUPER-EB1A-Attorney.'
