for Yvonne

I'd like to share my experienced to anyone that maybe at the beginning. Having Lawrence Holmes Immigration Agency and Yvonne as our lawyer, was very critical in completing our fiancee visa, conditional green card, unconditional green card and naturalization. Yvonne walked us through every step of the... way. She was available whenever we needed her. She always answered our emails and phone calls. I feel that the money we spent was well justified. I felt very confident having Lawrence Holmes and Yvonne on our side. I would highly recommend Lawrence Holmes and specially Yvonne for your immigration needs. We are very thankful for all the help we received. Sincerely, Mark and Edmalyn

Awesome team through a stressful ordeal

I had Yvonne as my case manager. She was FANTASTIC!!! She was always there when I needed anything and she was always checking on my case. We retained them for the K1, Permanent Resident, 10 year Permanent Resident and I think we will for the US Citizenship. Sure, we could do everything ourselves and ...save the money on lawyer fees, but at the end of the day, we get advice, answer questions from professionals (not experience from others in the internet, cause every case is unique) we had reassurance all paperwork was correct and complete and the reassurance with multiple retaining that our paperwork goes through on the first try. Thank you Yvonne and thank you Lawrence Holmes, immigration attorney!!

Fantastic professional, supportive and engaged!

Everything Mr. Lawrence discussed happened as planned. The support was perfect, every question answered, all filings perfect. We worked primarily with Yvonne, the paralegal. Super professional, friendly and absolutely accurate. She is AMAZING!!! Our process was over several years from initial entry t...hrough citizenship. I can not recommend more highly!!!

Great Attorney!!

Lawrence R Holmes and his team were exceptional in handling and progressing our case. We experienced no complications and no delays and this was because of the knowledge, experience and thoroughness of this team. They were able to guide us through each step of the process, keep us informed and respon...d to all our questions in a timely manner. At times of frustration they were reassuring and hopeful. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with and no doubt we'll be getting in touch with them when my Green Card is up for renewal.

Obtained a K1 Visa

I hired the firm of Lawrence Holmes in December of 2015 in order to secure a K1 visa for my fiancee who lived in the Ukraine. I was told at the time that It would take 6 to 12 months depending upon the timeliness of documentation and the US Immigration workload. Ultimately I was assigned a lawyer w...ithin the firm named Melanie Ramos. The visa process is long and tedious because of the required documentation. Ms. Ramos gave us a lot of support and guidance in collecting documentation here in the US and also in the Ukraine. Most importantly for us, we did hit some road bumps with the process during the approval phase with US Customs and with the US Embassy in Kiev. Ms. Ramos navigated us through the challenges with great patience and skill. In the end we secured the K1 visa in early December of 2017. I am convinced that had I not chosen this firm to represent us, we would have failed to secure the visa. It is important for me to also acknowledge that their fees were very reasonable and never once did they suggest additional fees because of the extra effort required.
