Entire process was smooth as butter!

We had Lawrence Richard Holmes help us with our immigration papers for my wife when she came over to the United States and we got married. We were concerned that we might make mistakes on the paperwork and being as it was a sensitive process we wanted to have as much help as we could get. We were ...assigned a paralegal specialist who helped us every step of the way and answered every question we had. She was readily available both by phone and by email so it really helped make the paperwork less stressful. Once we got to the interview, the immigration officer already had almost everything we needed and there was very little asked of us. Shortly after my wife received her green card in the mail.

K-1 Fiancé Visa

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!

Yvonne was very helpful

Yvonne was very helpful and prompt in returning any questions we had. She was always a step ahead and showed interest in our case personally by asking how everything was going and wishing us luck on our interview. We wish she was ours for the whole case! My husband got his permanent residency within ...2 weeks of our interview! We were well prepared and had all of our documents ready as per the direction and help from Yvonnne. The instructions given directly by the government lack the detail needed to feel confident and Yvonne ensured we were confident with our interview by providing extra direction.

Highly Recommend

My husband and I are very grateful for all of the help that the law firm of Lawrence Richard Holmes gave during the process of applying for a visa for my husband. They were always willing to answer questions on the phone or with email. I honestly don't know how we could have done it without them. I w...ould highly recommend them to anyone needing a lawyer who specializes with immigration and visas.

I-130 Visa Journey

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.
