Strategic, pragmatic, committed & results oriented

I cannot recommend Sharif Silmi highly enough for their outstanding work in securing my EB1A visa approval under the business category. From the very beginning, Silmi demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB1A requirements through lens of business value and crafted a strategic approach tailored to... my unique case. What stood out most was his ability to think critically and strategically. They meticulously analyzed my professional achievements and business contributions, identifying the strongest evidence to build a compelling case. Their attention to detail and thorough preparation ensured that every aspect of my application was flawless. Throughout the process, Silmi & Sima was incredibly responsive, professional, and supportive. They patiently addressed all my questions and concerns, making what could have been a stressful experience seamless. Thanks to Silmi law's expertise and strategic approach, my EB1A petition was approved without any issues. If you’re looking for an attorney who combines deep legal knowledge with a results-driven strategy, Silmi is the best choice.

EB2 NIW Approval (STEM, no Phd)

Sharif Silmi is a talented, experienced attorney who is very approachable and strives to pursue his clients' ultimate interests. Sharif was able to secure approval for my EB2 NIW (STEM with no PhD and no publications) after receiving an RFE. He showed an explementary understanding of the case law and... provided a cohesive and comprehensive group of evidence to tackle every line of my RFE. He showed an extraordinary ability to understand my past career accomplishments and progress and then linked them seamlessly to my future endeavor by presenting appealing pieces of evidence. Sharif was approachable and welcomed my feedback during all stages of the process.

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.

In Attorney Sharif Silmi, YOU CAN TRUST!

About two years ago, when I was on the process of switching my H1B to a new employer, I learned that my former employer made serious mistakes that could jeopardize my immigration status and with this, my career and future. In fact, my new employer then did not want to take me in anymore after learnin...g about my complex immigration situation. These sent me into a deep depression; I was fearful and anxious toward my future, especially every time that I thought of the prospect of immediately leaving the USA and not being able to re-enter for a decade. I had lost all hope in making the USA my permanent home, let alone resolving the stressful matter. Desperate, I started consulting immigration lawyers, some of whom are specialized in working with a special situation called Nunc Pro Tunc, which is the only thing that can save me. I spoke with almost 20 different immigration attorneys and none of them wanted to take on my case because it would take too much work and dedication on their end. I came across Attorney Sharif Silmi’s contact information through a friend of mine. He was the only lawyer who was not daunted by my almost hopeless situation and was the first lawyer who gave me and my wife hope! He had a clear and defined strategy pushed us to succeed even when we had less than one and a half months to collect all the necessary evidence to file our I-140 and I-485 concurrently. We immediately went on board with him and today, I am already a proud Permanent Resident of the United States of America, after Attorney Sharif Silmi and his dedicated, knowledgeable, and hard-working staff at Silmi Law office helped me in every step of the way. More on Atty. Silmi, he is always in charge of each case he takes and works on them with care. He is extremely attentive to details and never sends you to talk to someone else to discuss about the case. He is on top of your case, so you know that you’re always in good hands. You will not find a better immigration law firm than Silmi Law, especially when it comes to Employment-based immigrant petitions. They may be busy all the time because they have a ton of clients and many of his clients like me keep recommending him to many others who want to make their American Dreams come true, but they will always pull through for me and you. So, in your case, even if there is the tiniest of possibility, I believe Attorney Silmi can make it bloom!!!
