EB-2 NIW Approved!

Mr. Silmi is an incredible lawyer. I had contacted many lawyers for the NIW and all of them refused to take on our case. Mr. Silmi took one look at my credentials and said it could be done. Throughout the petition creation process he was responsive and engaged. He gave clear instructions and he turne...d a difficult process into a much more understandable one. During the document gathering process after the petition was put together, the firm was a little slow to respond to inquiries, but it was understandable given the unorthodox nature of my questions. Do not hesitate to retain him, his expertise got my family permanent residency, something we never thought was possible.
