Strongly Recommend Sharif

The most important thing that any prospective applicant needs to do, is to understand how EB1 applications are judged. Sharif has a vast experience in this domain and did an excellent job of explaining the requirements. Unlike some attorneys, he does not follow a standard template to file petitions. ...Sharif is very meticulous in collecting specifics from the applicant and sets a very high bar for reviewing the evidence before filing the petition. My petition was approved within 3 days in one shot without RFE. I have also retained Sharif for the next stage.

Thanks Mr. Sharif Silmi For Your Excellent Job

Mr. Silmi is an excellent attorney who doesn't shy away from taking challenging cases and making them successful through his unique techniques and knowledge. What differentiates his services from others is that he does not follow a cookie cutter approach and provides a very personalized view to each ...case which is the main reason for his success. He has always been polite and 'to the point' in each of my discussions with him. I was very happy and fortunate that I took his service (got one shot approval without RFE in just 5 days). I would highly recommend his services for anybody who is looking for knowledgeable attorney who can really understand the law, go back to the basics and give the right legal perspective and solution.

Amazing lawyer with very methodical process for EB1 cases

Sharif is a super attorney with lots of confidence in his abilities. I had a very pleasant and rewarding experience with Sharif for my EB1 filing. As lots of people from India, I was stuck in the EB2 queue for 8 yrs before I was put into contact with Sharif from Mr Shah (Shah Peerally Group). He did ...a very thorough evaluation of my case and was very confident that I can apply in EB1 category. He immediately set up few sessions with me for collecting necessary documents and building up the case. Once we had everything, the most interesting part is his RFE review process and if the case clears it, it will be through. We did go back and forth on few things to make sure that my case gets approved in first attempt itself. It definitely would test your patience but in the end, its worth it. I had my approval in a week after USCIS received it. He is very detailed and understands the concerns that everyone in my boat, would have. Once we are done with my I140 approval, I have retained Sharif's services for I485 and next phases. He is definitely someone that I can completely trust with and would strongly recommend him for any immigration requirements. Thanks Sharif! You are the man!
