Guided me to EB2 NIW approval

My EB2 NIW got approved with Attorney sharif! I think I’m the first person with this kind of profile. I’m an Electrical and computer Engineer by degree and works with computer system applications and process automation systems in pharmaceutical industry. First of all, after contacting 4 other attor...neys I contacted attorney sharif. The other 4 attorneys right of the bat said we can’t take your case and you are not eligible. But attorney sharif guided me and said that we can get your case approved. In his first initial roadmap calls he walked through my profile and understood my case very clearly. He also guided me what might be helpful to develop regarding my profile. Attorney has solid knowledge in what he is doing.

The OG lawyer for NIW!!

Sharif is the NIW guru. Don't let anyone tell you that you are not qualified for NIW without any citations or research publications. Sharif and his team worked tirelessly on my case, building evidence to get my petition approved. Unlike most other firms, where you work only with the paralegal dir...ectly, with Silmi Law, you work with Sharif directly which puts your mind to ease.

NIW Approval without RFE

My profile was not standard for an NIW, but with Atty Sharif's intricate guidance we patiently and successfully crafted a winning petition. Don't hesitate to consult with Atty Sharif, he knows this process by heart. He also reassured me that Nebraska vs Texas was not an issue, especially when I had d...oubts about where to mail my petition. Highly recommend!

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.

EB2 NIW approved for MSc STEM graduate

After consulting a bunch of immigration lawyers, who didn't take my case as they found it too challenging, I was fortunate to hire Sharif Silmi's team. As a recent graduate, Sharif Silmi managed to get my national interest waiver prepared and approved within a few months! Attorney Silmi has a deep... and detailed knowledge of immigration law. He was able to understand the strengths of my profile and to determine the best strategy for presenting my case. His expertise was particularly helpful to identify which evidence would be most helpful for my case and how I could collect it. I can't recommend Attorney Silmi enough!
