EB1A Approved!

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.

Exceptional quality professional services

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.
