Sharif is a Perfectionist and EB1A champion

After watching series of informative EB1A video from Sharif, I contacted the Silmi Law Group for my EB1A evolution. As lots of folks from India, I was stuck in the EB2 queue since April 2011. He did a very in-depth evolution of my case and was very confident that I can apply in EB1A category. Initial...ly I had been ask to create an introductory document regarding to my field of endeavor, which help him and his team to understand my field. He immediately setup several sessions with me for collecting and discussing necessary information to building up the case. He never tend to the pressure from me to finish faster rather really focused on perfection when submission. I still remember him saying that the file should pass his RFE check to get submitted. We did go back and forth on few things to make sure that my case get approved in first attempt itself. Initially, we filed my case in regular process because premium was unavailable due to COVID-19 but I had my approval in a week after converting it to premium process. After my i140 approval, I have retained Sharif’s services for AOS and next phase. He is an exceptionally collaborative and open for suggestions. Be open, be honest and rest Sharif will guide you. If someone is looking for an expert perfectionist then I highly recommend Sharif and his team.

Highly recommended for obtaining Green Card

I hired Sharif Silmi for preparing and filing my Green Card application in EB1A category. Sharif Silmi is extremely knowledgable, very insightful and compassionate Immigration lawyer. He ensured that the whole process of EB1A and NIW application is a smooth happy journey for me. He paid clos...e attention to my overall achievements , helped find out the unique qualifications and provided most valuable recommendations. Mr. Silmi skillfully painted the entire picture of permanent residency, unfolded the great possibilities and always boost the morale. He was very prompt in arranging followup sessions and quick in updating the status with appropriate follow-up actions. He made most sincere efforts to highlight my capabilities and prove my eligibility in order to secure the Green card approval. Overall, Mr. Sharif is offering a great service both to the immigrants by helping them realize the dream of gaining permanent residency and also to the nation as a whole by helping retain the best talents in USA. So I will highly recommend Mr. Sharif for any type of Green Card related consultation.

He made me get all the needed references and the materials and wou...ld never accept an answer no and always try to see what can be done. The case was filed on premium and my I140 got approved on Eb1a in just 4 days!.

Thanks Mr. Sharif Silmi For Your Excellent Job

Mr. Silmi is an excellent attorney who doesn't shy away from taking challenging cases and making them successful through his unique techniques and knowledge. What differentiates his services from others is that he does not follow a cookie cutter approach and provides a very personalized view to each ...case which is the main reason for his success. He has always been polite and 'to the point' in each of my discussions with him. I was very happy and fortunate that I took his service (got one shot approval without RFE in just 5 days). I would highly recommend his services for anybody who is looking for knowledgeable attorney who can really understand the law, go back to the basics and give the right legal perspective and solution.
