Sharif is AMAZING!!!!!!!

Search for the best and the brightest EB1A lawyer stops with Mr. Sharif Silmi. Sharif is the most knowledgeable, dedicated, focused and compassionate lawyer I have come across in Immigration matters particularly for EB1A.. His attention to detail is astounding. Before embarking on this journey , plea...se remember that this is not a timeboxed process. It will go through multiple iterations and one need to be patient and trust the process and above all trust Sharif. For me Sharif is the EB1A wizard . Every Q&A I had with Sharif, took the case to a new height. Every case is unique and so is its approach. Sharif will push you and you might feel its too much but just trust him and his process and you will see the final positive desired outcome. For my case, anything that Sharif asked, I never questioned. I just got it done. If one can clear Sharif's RFE review phase then trust me you are good. Sharif is also extremely collaborative and open for suggestions. Keep it real and keep it honest and rest Sharif will guide you. I highly recommend Sharif for all EB1A cases. He is 100/100 for me.

E2 Investor Visa Wizard

Having hired Mr. Sharif's services I can state that he is the best most multitalented Immigration and Business mind I have come across. I started with the problem of having my relatives in the USA but no one could figure out a pathway for my immigration. Sharif told me about an investment visa that i...s special for Pakistan and some other countries. He walked me through the process of safely and carefully investing my money into a solid foundation business that allowed me to apply for a successfully receive a visa. I am so greatful to Mr. Sharif for everything he has done for me and my family and I highly recommend him. He is also very kind and humble person.

EB1 Attorney - Result oriented

I would mention Sharif as one of the best Attorneys i have worked with. I still remember the day when i started my first discussion with sharif and how confident he was after analysing my case that this is a possible success file for EB1 . He guided me thru the entire process but was very methodical... and perfect in terms of the documentation he wants to submit. He never tend to the pressure from me to finish faster rather really focussed on perfection when submission. I still remember him saying that the file should pass his RFE check to get submitted. Finally on the day of approval i felt relieved. Sharif knows exactly how, when and what to be formulated in the correct way possible. i would recommend sharif to everyone who ever is thinking about hiring a lawyer for 2 reasons one is 100 % success and second is he will listen to you fully and formulates the petition in a result oriented direction.

Excellent for EB1 Petition

I contacted the Sharif Silmi from Shah Peerally Law Group for my EB1 evaluation. I did EB1A with premium processing, and received my EB1A I140 approval within 13 days. I really want to thank the Shah Peerally group for professionalism and patience. I was asking him direct questions nonstop, an...d he always reply within 24 hours, and even over weekends! Appreciated his compassion and dedication! He was very quick to understand my strong areas and build the case around it. His experience really speaks through his work and preparing my petition. He also kept me well-informed of the USCIS trends and news. Highly recommend his services! I have also decided to retain him for I485.

One heck on an attorney

Mr. Silmi is incredible! We used him to help a friend out with a difficult situation he was facing . He has used two different attorneys and they couldn't help him . Mr silmi realt put his full attention on the case and got it resolved.
