Sorry to post so much but I was just closing out tabs when I decided to take one last look. According to this, Comet PP Sharif Silmi has only been licensed to practise immigration law since 2014 and he didn't become a member of the American Bar Association and American Immigration Lawyers Association until 2016 yet speaks about all of his vast experience. CPP Sharif Silmi speaks Arabic. https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/20036-dc-sharif-silmi-4689253.html

I know one shouldn't assume but must admit that I did do that when looking at this photo from the article about Tech Mission Sharif Silmi and figured it must be him at the desk. Are there 1 or 2 Sharif Silmi from Mission Street in San Francisco?

Edit: So it appears from his LinkedIn profile that there is one Sharif Silmi i.e. they are one and the same. I wonder who's minding the shop while he's on assignment in D.C.?
