EB2 NIW Approval (STEM, no Phd)

Sharif Silmi is a talented, experienced attorney who is very approachable and strives to pursue his clients' ultimate interests. Sharif was able to secure approval for my EB2 NIW (STEM with no PhD and no publications) after receiving an RFE. He showed an explementary understanding of the case law and... provided a cohesive and comprehensive group of evidence to tackle every line of my RFE. He showed an extraordinary ability to understand my past career accomplishments and progress and then linked them seamlessly to my future endeavor by presenting appealing pieces of evidence. Sharif was approachable and welcomed my feedback during all stages of the process.

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.

EB1A Case Approved

I had the privilege of working with an outstanding Silmi law team for my EB-1A petition, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Silmi Law team exhibited a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in the process. Attorney Sharif expertise was evident as he personall...y guided me through every step, providing timely and accurate advice. He is best of the best attorney's or in simple terms EB1A magician who can layout a custom tailored approach for your case. What truly set them apart was Silmi Law team dedication to my case. They invested the time to thoroughly understand my unique background and accomplishments, translating them into a compelling and strong case for my EB-1A petition. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence were truly commendable. Throughout the process, their communication was exceptional. They promptly addressed all my queries and concerns, ensuring I was well-informed and at ease. Their professionalism and knowledge of immigration laws gave me the confidence that I was in the best hands. Thanks to their unwavering support and hard work, my EB-1A petition was approved successfully. I am now able to pursue my professional aspirations in the United States, and I credit much of this achievement to the exceptional team at Silmi law firm. I wholeheartedly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking expert assistance with their immigration matters. Their dedication, expertise, and personalized approach make them an invaluable partner in navigating the complex immigration landscape.
