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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
