Not only does he bring a world-class expertise of the subject, but he is also strategic, methodical and professional. Mr. Sharif is a craftsman, a master at paying close attention to understanding the relevant and s...pecific details, and then presenting the case in a compelling manner. Mr. Sharif wouldn’t cut corners, and also understands that a long list may not necessarily be a good list. He is an expert at building an excellent case around what matters. He is focused, dependable, and works relentlessly to ensure that the case being submitted is perfect. In addition to being a result-oriented go-getter, Mr. Sharif is also very collaborative, open to listening, and a compassionate human being. Mr. Sharif is honest and communicates clearly. Mr. Sharif also patiently offered his kind guidance during the turbulent immigration environment of 2020. Further, working with Mr. Sharif has been enriching and rewarding as well. There is so much to learn from his unique insights and approach, and has helped me develop a better perspective for my life ahead. 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. We have naturally retained Mr. Sharif’s team for the AOS and future phases.

I have consulted Mr. Sharif Silmi about 4-5 times for a variety of immigration issues (H1b, H4 RFE, visa approval, covid travel bans, I-94, Eb1a, Eb1c etc). I myself had very detailed knowledge of immigration issues that I consulted him about, but ran into corner cases which were beyond what most peo...ple have experience with. Mr. Sharif is an expert at immigration issues and he understood the exact situation and complicated problem within just a few minutes and gave me pin pointed advise on the best possible way forward. He gave best and worst case scenarios and a couple of times pointed out the blind spots which were even more uncommon but still good to remain aware of. Mr. Sharif is quite busy with multiple clients and consultations on his calendar, but for urgent issues with a deadline he and his assistant were able to find 30min time slot and provide the consultation. Their price is also reasonable at $100/30min. I whole heartedly recommend Mr. Sharif for any simple or complex immigration issues you need help with.

Mr. Sharif Silmi is an outstanding immigration attorney, a seasoned expert in the Employment-Based Immigrant Visa categories. Mr. Silmi has successfully represented my EB1A petition, and I can highly recommend him for any immigration related matter. Mr. Silmi is very professional, patient and has gre...at acumen who made the application process smooth for me. Mr. Silmi carefully evaluated my case paying attention to each detail and worked with me during the complete application process. I had several meetings with him during the process where he collected all the evidence systematically and gradually built the case for submission. Mr. Silmi’s deep knowledge on the EB1A application and his out of the box thinking helped strengthening my application. I filed my I-140 application in premium processing and the application was approved just in 6 days. I can’t thank enough to Mr. Silmi and his team for their dedication and effort to have my EB-1A application just in a few days without any RFE. His team was always there to answer my queries and always reachable when there were any doubts or confusion while working on the application. Mr. Silmi is one of the best immigration lawyers one can have and I am grateful to find him. I thank Mr. Silmi and his team from the bottom of my heart and recommend anyone who is willing to file his/her petition in EB1 category.

I worked with Sharif for my EB1A petition. His excellent guidance and support throughout the process was instrumental in getting my petition approved. Unlike other attorneys I've worked with, Sharif ensured that the client is involved in all the steps of the process from drafting the petition to work...ing on identifying the criteria to use in the filing. Huge thanks to Sharif and his team for helping us throughout the green card process!

Sharif is the best EB1A expert and overall detail-oriented, timely with a practical outlook to give you the extra edge in your application. When you engage with his firm, you are engaging with the most experienced. I do not have a Phd, and not too many publications (less than 100 citations). I wo...rk as a regular engineer in a Fortune 1000 company and from a country that is always backlogged. My friend recommended Sharif as someone who can help professionals with EB1A even if you have no PhD. I engaged with Sharif and after seeing his YouTube talk on the same topic. The first thing I absolutely love about Sharif is his detail oriented and specific nature. Essentially, he conducts deep background interviews to gather information for the application. He laid out to me, in plain language, what the requirements are from a law perspective. There are lots and lots of nuances, and Sharif breaks down so very well. He also brainstormed with me what counts as evidence - for instance, he pointed out that the work that I did in an NIW area can be emphasized more. Essentially, the most important part is the field of endeavor and Sharif surgically helps to sharpen this with hours and hours of discussion and evidence collection. There is also a second distinguishing feature - When you work with Sharif Silmi Law, you are working with THE Sharif. You are not passed on to someone else. This means, he is the one getting on a call with you - every single time. He makes time for you in his calendar and is always available via email. I have never had to wait more than a day for an email reply, and more than a day to get on his calendar. He prioritizes you and your application. No passing it on someone after initial review. Sharif drafted a strong application. He is not just persuasive, but makes it obvious for anyone reading, that you deserve an EB1A ASAP! The way he wrote and organized the application made all the difference. Next is his capable team. Sharif hires the best people to efficiently get the job done. For instance, my application ran 1185 pages - basically a lot, and lot of evidence. They work with you to land this for and get you to the finish line. FYI -- One of the teammates sent me the final application to review in the middle of the night on a weekend. They really want you to succeed and it absolutely shows. I can think of no other firm when it comes to all kinds of employment-based petitions, especially EB1A. I got my approval within just 10 days after we filed my I-140. EB1A is all about drafting the strongest application that is iron clad - no room for doubt, no room for error. Sharif is THE attorney to deliver this for you.
