Sharif Silmi

I had a great experience working with Mr. Silmi and his team. Silmi Law provides exceptional quality professional services. Thanks to their legal expertise and hard work, my EB1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition was approved in less than two weeks. Attorney Sharif has helped me persona...lly in crafting the narrative and bringing out the relevant information from my work experience. I cherish the discussions we had in preparing the case. He is very open to listening and honest in setting expectations. Attorney Sharif is an exceptionally talented craftsman who pays close attention to understanding the relevant and specific details without cutting corners. His world-class expertise on this subject, strategic and methodical approach provided me with an increasing level of confidence in the success of my petition over the period I worked with him. He is dependable and focussed on preparing the best possible case and he works relentlessly to realize it. Another advantage I found with Silmi Law is that they have a great team working together collaboratively. I particularly thank Ms. Rabia, Ms. Mary, and Ms. Gabriela for their dedication and hard work on my project. I am forever grateful and indebted to Mr. Silmi and his team for making my life-changing EB1A I-140 approval happen. I strongly recommend Silmi Law for immigration-related legal support, particularly for EB1A. Silmi Law is obviously my preferred choice for the AOS and future phases.

Summary: Attorney Sharif is an immigration guru. You should definitely consult with him if you are looking for an intelligent, honest, and trustworthy immigration lawyer. When I was contemplating pursuing the EB-1A path for my Green Card a few months ago, I came across Attorney Sharif Silmi’s high...ly informational YouTube channel. When I was ready to move forward with my petition, I interviewed about ten immigration lawyers. I chose to move forward with him because of his in-depth experience in this area and unique insights & winning strategies he shared with me during the initial consultation call. I have worked with several immigration firms throughout my career on various employment visa-related issues, including a very well-known immigration firm that my employer retained in 2020 to petition an EB-1B case for me (which wasn’t successful). Compared to other immigration firms/lawyers, working with Attorney Sharif’s team was so refreshing and impressive. Attorney Sharif is highly detail-oriented, systematic, and methodological. He not only explained all the EB-1A requirements in detail, but he also described what I exactly need to do to satisfy those requirements and shared his insights on how a USCIS adjudicator would evaluate my petition. Attorney Sharif is passionate and committed. He and his team are highly reliable, approachable, and helpful. Outside of our regular video calls, I asked them a lot of questions, and they got back to me all the time within 24 hours. I got to participate in the entire process closely and felt like a core member of their team. He maintains a really high bar for quality. After the petition draft was ready, we went back and forth a few times to ensure that our final petition was of excellent quality. My EB-1A petition was filed with Premium Processing at the NSC in April 2021 and got approved within five days. After my EB-1A approval, he also filed an interfiling request to move my pending AOS petitions to the newly approved EB-1A petition. Attorney Sharif would go above and beyond to make you successful. He has a lifelong customer in me.

Based on recommendation from many of our friends, we reached out to Mr. Sharif (Shah Peerally group) about our EB1A case. We have done extensive research and spent many years hunting down the options just to understand if my profile makes  a good eligible EB1A case or not. Other lawyers reviewed my r...esume (Not my profile) and suggested that I go with other categories (Eg: NIW EB2) or get a PhD or more citations. None of that sounded reasonable and we definitely backed out on the EB1A idea until we spoke to Sharif. Honestly, we were a little speculative in the beginning (Based on our bitter experience with other lawyers). Sharif did not give us any false expectations just to get us onboarded. He reviewed my profile, took time to understand and evaluated my field of endeavor in-depth before he commented on the chances of approval for my EB1A case. He is process oriented and I believe that is the key behind his success rate. He explained in detail and guided us all along. He is very collaborative, considerate and spent a great deal of time to make sure that my case satisfies the outlined statutory guidelines and presented every single evidence to prove the same to the government. My case was received by USCIS on 06/25/2020 and got Approved on 07/02/2020. I couldn't believe how quick that happened. EB1A means a lot to any individual and their family and approval takes a lot of stress out. God bless Sharif for caring deeply about his clients and helping many families in this regard. Despite being exceptionally talented he is humble, honest and open for suggestions and critiques. Please consult sharif or associate with him on your EB1A case. He knows immigration law inside-out and his outstanding record of success speaks for itself. 

After being sponsored and not being able to get the H1B working visa and my OPT expiring soon, I came across Sharif in youtube, EB1A video. Sharif helped me to apply for my Green Card application in EB2 category. I don't have enough WORDS to express how grateful I am to Sharif Silmi. It is overwhe...lming to look for an attorney, and its EXTREMELY challenging to find an EXCELLENT, HONEST, and PROFESSIONAL attorney!. Sharif is a high standard immigration attorney that is honest and extremely professional, capable, and reliable!! He didn't leave me alone in the process; he was always there and willing to help me and answer my questions! I am pleased to have work with him! I want to thank you again, Sharif! For everything!

After watching series of informative EB1A video from Sharif, I contacted the Silmi Law Group for my EB1A evolution. As lots of folks from India, I was stuck in the EB2 queue since April 2011. He did a very in-depth evolution of my case and was very confident that I can apply in EB1A category. Initial...ly I had been ask to create an introductory document regarding to my field of endeavor, which help him and his team to understand my field. He immediately setup several sessions with me for collecting and discussing necessary information to building up the case. He never tend to the pressure from me to finish faster rather really focused on perfection when submission. I still remember him saying that the file should pass his RFE check to get submitted. We did go back and forth on few things to make sure that my case get approved in first attempt itself. Initially, we filed my case in regular process because premium was unavailable due to COVID-19 but I had my approval in a week after converting it to premium process. After my i140 approval, I have retained Sharif’s services for AOS and next phase. He is an exceptionally collaborative and open for suggestions. Be open, be honest and rest Sharif will guide you. If someone is looking for an expert perfectionist then I highly recommend Sharif and his team.
