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.

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.
