The Most Professional and caring Firm

I chose Mr. HOLMES firm right after a call that I had placed to his office discussing a K1 visa. At the end of the conversation I Knew confidently that Holme's firm is what I would be comfortable with. He explained every thing and taking his time and came across as a straight shooter right of the sta...rt . I was not even charged any money for all the generous consultation that he extended to me. My case was assigned later to Ms. Yvonne who I have so much admiration and respect for her due to her diligence , care , friendliness , rich knowledge and professionalism that I had honestly never seen from a law firm. This lady handled my case so well and successfully with so much love and care that has blown me away. From the time we filed for the k1 visa to my fiancé's arrival took 3 months and a few days. Yvonne was always so available with her advice and resolving specific issues that I had felt my case is being handled with so much genuine care. She is an asset to the firm and to all clients that are being cared for by her. I really feel lucky for doing business with Holmes firm and most importantly being handled and cared for by Yvonne. I never felt out of the loop , I was always well informed by her and well advised. I remember on a late afternoon she dedicated and sacrificed her personal time just so she can answer my concerns and that was the day before my fiancé's interview in Abu Dhabi. Without her help we probably could have not had a successful interview. I am so grateful to Holmes firm and specifically to Yvonne. Well done Mr. Holmes for having such qualified and caring people for your clients. You guys are the best in the business of Immigration matters.

Green Card Case Processing

I came to the United States on fiance visa and my case was quite complicated, as my now husband and I are 36 years apart in age. On top, we had only met once and was already denied the visa once. After 2 years of unsuccessful attempts, my fiance and I hired Holmes' services. As soon as we hired them,... things started progressing really fast and I has visa in my hand in less than a year. Kudos to their excellent team. My husband and I also hired them for my green card processing. I had the green card and work authorization card on the 90th day of our applying. I am completely satisfied with their services and intend to hire them for the removal of conditions. :)

Speaking from experience, we strongly recommend you do not try to go through the immigration process without hiring a lawyer. A good law office will help you through this difficult, challenging process and stay with you until you have your Visa in hand. We were so blessed to have chosen the law off...ice of Lawrence Holmes and helped through the process by Yvonne. She is truly the best! She guided us step by step, was very, very supportive and stayed in close contact with us throughout the whole process. Yvonne, you really are awesome and we thank you from our hearts everyday.........

Visa approval

I was so lucky to have found Mr. Holmes's office. He made what was a very stressful and emotional time for both me and my wife as easy as it could be. Our case was handled by Yvonne. Upon our first consultation she made me feel comfortable and reassured things would be fine. She gave me a time line, ...and things happened on or most times before her deadlines. The best thing is they told me once everything was finalized my wife would have her green card at the same time with their process. This was huge for me because I know that extra step once she got here would of been more expensive and stressful on us both. Yvonne was always professional, and even when I was stressing out about something she always made me know everything was going to be OK. Very timely with any questions I had. I am very happy to say my wife has her visa and green card process is over, once she is here we are done. Airline tickets purchased. I would highly recommend Yvonne and Mr. Holmes's.

Great Lawyer!

I just got approved for my Permanent Residency application thanks to Atty. Holmes and Heather Carnage! It just took 5 months and the journey has been amazing. Heather has been my go-to person for all my questions about the petition. Thank you so much for everything!!!
