EB1A Approved!

I am super happy and glad to write this review. With my EB1A I140 approval last week, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. First and foremost, congratulations to Atny. Sharif and team for yet another successful petition on their books. Right from the start, I felt that Atny. Shari...f has a strong sense of the statutory requirements and what it takes to present a successful petition. There were instances of self-doubt during this journey but I was given specific guidance on how to lookback on my career and looks for evidence to satisfy the different requirements. Atny. Sharif’s team, especially Mary and Gaby, were patient with my requests and kept me in the loop on the progress during the phase of drafting letters. The petition was as strong as it could be and looking back, I am glad I chose the right team for this entire process. I strongly recommend Atny. Sharif for all your immigration needs, especially the EB1 or NIW scenarios.

Mr. Silmi - The ONLY one for EB1A

Mr. Silmi got my EB1A case approved. Other renowned EB1A attorneys aren't thorough and would only work on a slam dunk cases. When I approached Mr. Silmi , he took time to understand my case and guided me on a not so chalked path to collecting evidence in preparing the EB1A application. His thoroughn...ess in the process resulted in my application's approval. My family is grateful to Mr. Silmi and his team for this big accomplishment. I would hire Mr. Silmi without doubt for any of my future immigration cases.

I just followed his direction and was finally rewarded with approval. My petition was approved within a week, and I w...ant to thank Sharif and his team for helping me during my immigration journey. This wouldn’t be possible without his help; I am really thankful!!!

In Attorney Sharif Silmi, YOU CAN TRUST!

About two years ago, when I was on the process of switching my H1B to a new employer, I learned that my former employer made serious mistakes that could jeopardize my immigration status and with this, my career and future. In fact, my new employer then did not want to take me in anymore after learnin...g about my complex immigration situation. These sent me into a deep depression; I was fearful and anxious toward my future, especially every time that I thought of the prospect of immediately leaving the USA and not being able to re-enter for a decade. I had lost all hope in making the USA my permanent home, let alone resolving the stressful matter. Desperate, I started consulting immigration lawyers, some of whom are specialized in working with a special situation called Nunc Pro Tunc, which is the only thing that can save me. I spoke with almost 20 different immigration attorneys and none of them wanted to take on my case because it would take too much work and dedication on their end. I came across Attorney Sharif Silmi’s contact information through a friend of mine. He was the only lawyer who was not daunted by my almost hopeless situation and was the first lawyer who gave me and my wife hope! He had a clear and defined strategy pushed us to succeed even when we had less than one and a half months to collect all the necessary evidence to file our I-140 and I-485 concurrently. We immediately went on board with him and today, I am already a proud Permanent Resident of the United States of America, after Attorney Sharif Silmi and his dedicated, knowledgeable, and hard-working staff at Silmi Law office helped me in every step of the way. More on Atty. Silmi, he is always in charge of each case he takes and works on them with care. He is extremely attentive to details and never sends you to talk to someone else to discuss about the case. He is on top of your case, so you know that you’re always in good hands. You will not find a better immigration law firm than Silmi Law, especially when it comes to Employment-based immigrant petitions. They may be busy all the time because they have a ton of clients and many of his clients like me keep recommending him to many others who want to make their American Dreams come true, but they will always pull through for me and you. So, in your case, even if there is the tiniest of possibility, I believe Attorney Silmi can make it bloom!!!
