Lawrence Richard Holmes

I am so, so grateful that I decided to work with the office of Lawrence R. Holmes for the process of obtaining a K-1 fiancé visa. Before starting the process, a couple friends and internet sites told me it was an easy enough process and that it was possible to do it on my own. Well it may be possible..., but I doubt the process would have gone as smoothly and quickly if I had done it myself. It is a very complex and detailed process and there are so many opportunities to make little mistakes! Yvonne was assigned to our case and she is absolutely amazing. She always kept us up-to-date with the progress of our case and also prepared us for the next step well in advance. Yvonne was also very patient and kind in answering my many questions and concerns either via email or telephone. She is so great! I honestly don't know what I would have done without her help. For me, the price I paid was so worth the peace of mind having someone with so much experience work on my case, and now that the K-1 Visa is approved, I can rest easy knowing my best friend and future husband will be here soon! Thanks Yvonne!

My son met and married an amazing young Costa Rican woman while living/working there. When their personal attempt to obtain a visa for her to come to the US was denied, I did not hesitate to research attorneys specializing in this field. It took just one phone call to the office of Lawrence R. Holm...es to make the decision to acquire their services. Our case was immediately assigned to a Paralegal Specialist best suited for my son's and daughter-in-law's needs (I-130 Spousal Visa), who guided us through the entire process. Her professional demeanor and expertise alleviated our fears and reassured us every step of the way. We especially appreciated her patience and timely responses to the multitude of questions, both informative and clarifying, that we bombarded her with during the course of our journey. Suffice it to say that completing the myriad of forms and gathering supporting documentation required and/or requested by all of the agencies involved was overwhelming at times. Relying on our Paralegal Specialist's knowledge and experience afforded us peace of mind in knowing there would be no mistakes, and undoubtedly was the key to our success. My daughter-in-law's visa was approved on November 10th, and on December 1st, she and my son will be on a plane to spend Christmas with me in the states. What more could a mother ask? We are more than satisfied and beyond grateful.

If you need help with immigration matters, this is the firm to use. We definitely could not have done it without their help. Yvonne guided us through each step even when we ran Into a couple of snags. She calmly gave us some great Advice. Results..... GREEN CARD September/14 filed in April/1...4 Thank you so much!

As a bit of background, my wife was here on a J-1 visa when we met, and it had a 2-year home residency requirement associated with it. I hired a lawyer (not Larry Holmes this first time) and filed for a waiver, but it was denied. Now when it came time to petition for my wife for her permanent reside...ncy in March of 2013, this experience with the former lawyer led me to think "Hey, I spent a LOT of money for something that was really straight forward...doing an I-130 with a lawyer must be prohibitively expensive." So I did the I-130 filing myself. ...And then the ever-present anxiety settled in...what if I did something wrong, what if they do a request for evidence? The more I read other people's experiences with I-130's, the more I couldn't sleep worrying about all that could go wrong...and knowing I was ill-prepared to properly deal with something if it did. It was under these circumstances - about 3.5 months after filing - that I came across Larry Holme's very informative website one night while doing some reading on various aspects of the I-130 and NVC process. I was so impressed with the amount of freely available information (and the experience backing it up) that I filled out the contact request form online. Larry called me the next morning and answered tons of questions I had about my case, what may happen, and how to handle various scenarios. Contrary to my prior experience elsewhere, when Larry offers a consultation, he consults on your case rather than using "consultation" as a misnomer for "sales pitch". Even after 20 or 30 minutes of discussing my case, Larry wanted to make sure he answered all my questions. And this impressed me greatly - he was truly interested in my case and in helping me. I was the one who had to switch the topic of discussion to how his firm would assist me with my case going forward. I was really amazed...like "Wow!" amazed...when Larry shared his pricing for taking over my case. Suffice it to say that to hire Larry to take over my case all the way through my wife's final immigration interview and visa issuance was a fraction of the cost I paid for the J-1 visa waiver lawyer - for far much more work. Hiring Larry Holmes and his firm was the best decision I made during this entire I-130 process. Danielle, a top-rate Paralegal Specialist, helped me with my case going forward. I literally have 50+ emails from her answering questions and notifying me of what I needed to do. When you go through any kind of immigration process, especially for your spouse from whom you're physically separated, you will have moments of panic and anxiety about one thing or another. And when those moments come up, Danielle is the person you want to be able to email or call. Really, she probably saved my life from all the stress she made disappear. I wholeheartedly recommend the law firm of Lawrence R. Holmes to anyone dealing with any aspect of immigration law.
