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!!

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.

K1 Fiance Visa

My Fiance and I worked with our lawyer Yvonne together on the K1 Fiance Visa. We had a really good experience with Yvonne and the company! She was very helpful, quick in responding emails and always had an answer to every question we had. Yvonne took her time to explain everything to us. Our Vis...a process took a little longer than 6 month as we both use to life in another country. Only thing what could have done a little better was the follow up information on how much extra cost we might will have to be expecting... besides the lawyer cost. That was a little bit of an unplanned surprise but besides that we would recommend the company and especially Yvonne to all our friends.

Excellent Immigration Legal Services

The firm of Lawrence Holmes represented my wife and I for her immigration from Honduras, handling both the K-1 and Permanent Resident applications. Diana Nunez was responsible for our case, and she did a great job. Everything went very smoothly and she was always able to answer all of our questions a...nd provide any needed guidance. My wife and stepsons now have their Permanent Resident cards. We will use this firm for any further immigration legal services we require. I also think that their fees were very reasonable for the services provided.
