Sharif Silmi

My EB1A I-140 petition was approved without RFE, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Attorney Sharif Silmi for helping me achieve this major milestone. A uniquely tailored petition for EB1A is a big intellectual undertaking and Attorney Sharif specializes in preparing well-articulated... EB1A petitions. I would like to also thank Seda for helping with the petition drafting, and thanks to Gabriela, Mary, and Hiba for their unwavering support. I highly recommend Silmi Law for EB1A.

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.

I had the honor to work with Attorney Sharif on my O1A petition and it is with absolute pleasure that I write this glowing review about my experience with him and the team. I consulted with Attorney Sharif after meeting with several other law firms and terminated my contract with another firm to ...then start working with him. Right from the first meeting I was super pleased to see how Attorney Sharif approached the case. His approach honored authenticity and genuine material in my petition, this was so rare to see as every other law firm wanted me to use cheap gimmicks (paid press, paid judging events (!) and more) to trick USCIS into approval (as if USCIS is that naive). He understood my evidence and guided me with a case strategy. Upon submitting all the evidence to the team, they used the Attorney's directions and painted a very beautiful picture of my case to the USCIS, and we were approved without any RFE. We did run into hiccups due to USCIS administrative errors. USCIS has fallen a bit behind on agent training for the new fees structure and sometimes erroneously rejects applications stating “incorrect fees”. This happened to us, but Gabriela and team handled the issue swiftly and USCIS accepted their mistake and retroactively honored the previous submittal date. I was a bit shaken because I was at the end of my grace period but the team had full confidence and I am glad I followed their instruction to reapply. I would recommend anyone who is considering “Extraordinary Ability” visas to go talk to Attorney Sharif, there are so many “courses” out there especially with the rise in popularity of the said visa, but in my opinion, there is nowhere else you could better spend your valuable money and time for a best shot at your petition. I’m grateful to the whole team, Attorney Sharif, Gabriela, Meerim, Marylaine and Mayerline for their work on my petition.
