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.

Review

I won the DV lottery and my friend referred me to Sharif as she believed he could guide me easily to get my green card. Well, im glad I did as him and his team provided me with the necessary guidance and answers to all my queries. My green card has been approved now, I'm really grateful.

The Guru for EB1A Petitions

I had the wonderful pleasure to work with Attorney Sharif and his team for my EB1A I-140 approval. I can certainly say that Attorney Sharif is truly unique in his approach and doesn't use the cookie-cutter approach like others. From the initial road map meetings to reviewing the final draft, Attorney... Sharif and his team have been very thorough and methodological in their approach. Attorney Sharif always pushes to get the best possible outcome. I have already recommended him to my friends and will certainly recommend him to anyone who is looking to file under EB1A. Believe me, it is life-changing. Thank you Attorney Sharif, Marylaine Viernes, Mayerline Rodriguez and Gabriela Del Carmen.

EB1/EB2 Visa - Tailored Service

Mr. Silmi helped with my EB1 and EB2 visa applications, and although it took a long time to go through the endeavor because of the complicated USCIS bureaucratic process, I finally got approved and recently moved to the US with my green card - no RFEs needed. Thank you Sharif for your help and sup...port during this time. I have always received a personalized, tailored service, and I felt he really understood the specificity of my skill set. Sharif was also able to adapt quickly in the face of a constantly evolving visa landscape. I have now happily moved to San Francisco, and currently pursuing my dream job and life. Greatly recommended!

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.
