Client V.M. contacted Attorney Sharif Silmi after watching his informative video about keys to filing a successful EB-1A petition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuE_TpNWksk) and asked for an analysis for EB1A. V.M., originally from India, has been in the United States for 16 years. First as a graduate student then after completing his studies he was hired as an information systems analyst with a large utility company. He had an approved EB-2 I-140 with potentially decades to go before his priority date came due. After being turned away by several attorneys, V.M. put his trust in the Shah Peerally Law Group and Attorney Sharif Silmi to find a way to get him approved otherwise he said “I will return to India!”

Our Approach: Attorney Sharif Silmi delivered an out-of-the-box strategy to highlight the strengths in V.M.’s profile and extracted every last piece of evidence available to bolster his case. V.M. has a BS and MS in computer science and a certificate in accounting. He has no published articles. Attorney Sharif Silmi submitted evidence that approval of V.M. is essential because V.M. administers a payroll system that covers thousands of Americans and that he seeks to remain in the United States to continue to work in his field of endeavor. He also extracted evidence of memberships in associations, that V.M. works for an organization of distinguished reputation, commands a high salary, served as a judge of the work of others and had significant business related contributions. The petition was submitted with premium processing and concurrent adjustment of status (I-485).

Results: In only 6 days the USCIS service center responded with approval of the EB-1A petition!
