EB1A Case Approved

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.

Best for EB1-A

My EB-1A petition was approved within 10 days without RFE. Atty Sharif is the smartest attorney for EB-1A, I ever met. I consulted 3-4 attorneys before signing up with the Silmi law team. I am a leading professional engineer working in the energy sector. I was running in other direction in the ter...m of paper publications, and patents which could not help me to win this petition. Atty Sharif showed me the right direction which I came to know the first time for that kind of information. Mary and Seda from his team are very professional, supportive, and timely responders. This team is result-oriented and follows a tailored approach for each petition. Keep patience and follow instructions for positive results.

Star Attorney for EB1A and NIW

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.

He helped when the others lawyers said there was no hope.... Will recommend

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.

Best attorney for EB1

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.
