Sharif Silmi

I am very pleased to attest to the professionalism and knowledge of Mr. Sharif and his team – especially those focused on non-vanilla cases such as EB1A and NIW. His office provided me with much-needed advice and guidance to prepare my application and stepped up to expedite when an unforeseen circums...tance developed. His peculiar style of understanding the uniqueness and how to present a compelling case is awesome, and that is what I (now) believe differentiates a case from approval or denial. Overall, I had a very good experience working with Mr. Sharif and am thankful for his advice and innovative thinking to make my application successful.

I got my green card last week, and I would like to say a big thank you to Attorney Sharif and his team. I will share my experience in detail. I was in a dire moment when I reached out to Mr Sharif. My company refused to sign my form so I could get my STEM OPT. By the time I got a new job I was lef...t with two business days and my school's international office refused to proceed with it, so my SEVIS record ended. I called several law firms around the US but none could help me and said there was no hope. It was only Attorney Sharif that said there was hope and urged me to apply for EB-2, after probing a lot about my situation. Even though I needed someone to help me I didn't trust him but I had no option but to go with him. Also, he allowed me to pay the amount in a bit. My process, to be honest, took a roller coaster turn, but Attorney Sharif and his team were always there to help. In fact, during one of those roller coaster moments, I begun to call other lawyers again but every one said my case was too completed, and whiles I kept calling (about 10 lawyers without help), Attorney Sharif reached out to me with a solution. The secretary, Rabia, and Gabriella were there from the beginning to help. Also, Marylaine Viernes really helped me a lot. After joining my case I got notifications and email responses quicker. I obviously do not know the staff behind the scenes but I'm sure everyone worked hard for me and I want to say a big thank you.

I worked with Mr. Sharif for my Green card process. I must say that Mr. Sharif is very professional and master in his field. He is very confident when he is working on any case and he knows how to response RFE without failure. Gabriela and Mary are assistant though out my visa process. They both are ...very responsive and always up to date with follow up tasks.

I am super happy and glad to write this review. With my EB1A I140 approval last week, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. First and foremost, congratulations to Atny. Sharif and team for yet another successful petition on their books. Right from the start, I felt that Atny. Shari...f has a strong sense of the statutory requirements and what it takes to present a successful petition. There were instances of self-doubt during this journey but I was given specific guidance on how to lookback on my career and looks for evidence to satisfy the different requirements. Atny. Sharif’s team, especially Mary and Gaby, were patient with my requests and kept me in the loop on the progress during the phase of drafting letters. The petition was as strong as it could be and looking back, I am glad I chose the right team for this entire process. I strongly recommend Atny. Sharif for all your immigration needs, especially the EB1 or NIW scenarios.
