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.

Extraordinary Attorney for EB1A

I collaborated with Attorney Sharif for my EB1A petition. Attorney Sharif demonstrates exceptional knowledge and precision in legal matters. He exhibits great attention to detail when gathering information from applicants and maintains a high standard in reviewing evidence before submitting the petit...ion. Although I encountered a Request for Evidence (RFE), Attorney Sharif efficiently navigated the process, resulting in approval just one day after submitting the RFE response. I credit Attorney Sharif for making my American dream achievable, as obtaining my EB1A I-140 paved the way for my green card, which I received within three months. Attorney Sharif and his team specially Marylaine are highly recommended for their outstanding expertise and support.

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.

Review

I won the DV lottery and my friend referred me to Sharif as she believed he could guide me easily to get my green card. Well, im glad I did as him and his team provided me with the necessary guidance and answers to all my queries. My green card has been approved now, I'm really grateful.

The Guru for EB1A Petitions

I had the wonderful pleasure to work with Attorney Sharif and his team for my EB1A I-140 approval. I can certainly say that Attorney Sharif is truly unique in his approach and doesn't use the cookie-cutter approach like others. From the initial road map meetings to reviewing the final draft, Attorney... Sharif and his team have been very thorough and methodological in their approach. Attorney Sharif always pushes to get the best possible outcome. I have already recommended him to my friends and will certainly recommend him to anyone who is looking to file under EB1A. Believe me, it is life-changing. Thank you Attorney Sharif, Marylaine Viernes, Mayerline Rodriguez and Gabriela Del Carmen.
