Green Card / Naturalization

In a "nutshell" ... Mr Lawrence Holmes is an extremely competent, professional immigration lawyer with outstanding credentials! He was so helpful and informative on the phone that my husband (US Citizen) and I both decided to use this law firm to obtain my Green Card & Citizenship through Naturali...zation. We called a few Immigration lawyers but ultimately decided to go with Mr Holmes even though we reside in a different state! He is the BEST! Yvonne (Paralegal at Lawrence R Holmes Immigration Office) handled my case and the best word / words to describe her is IMPECCABLE SERVICE, PROFESSIONALISM, PROMPT, WARM & SUPPORTING, ALWAYS GOING THE "EXTRA MILE" FOR HER CLIENT!!!! YVONNE IS ONE IN A MILLION ..... THANK YOU AND WELL DONE!

K1 Visa

Wow where do I start. After Wasiu and I met in Africa and were sure we wanted to be married I returned home. And hired Mr Holmes. He has been amazing. The preparation was time consuming but well worth it. My fiancé at the time was granted a K1 Visa without any complications after all the preparatio...n and Mr Holmes law firm knew exactly what was needed and prepared everything to go to the consulate after requested documents were submitted to them.... wasiu was granted the K1 Visa we were married 2 months later. Then it's the adjustment of status again Mr Holmes law firm right on top of it and now my husband has been granted his green card. We are so very glad we used the Homes law firm in this long and difficult process. I highly recommend this law firm. They are professional very knowledgeable and supportive every step of the way. Thank you Mr Homes and your team of staff who has made all of this possible. You come highly recommend.

Wife obtained Change of Status to become Permanent Resident

We retained Larry to guide my wife through change of status to obtain green card. Our case took 2 years because of complications on our end. Throughout the entire process we always received quick replies, solid advice, and full attention of Larry and his paralegal Diana. They made the process as good... as it could be given the requirement of USCIS. We consider the fee money well spent and have recommended their services to others in need.

Incredibly helpful and efficient

This review is in regards, specifically, to our paralegal specialist, Yvonne. We have used Lawrence R Holmes, Immigration Attorney over the last 3 or so years with help with Permanent Residency. Yvonne was our paralegal through all of it. For such a complicated and important process, it felt incre...dibly easy and with minimal stress. Yvonne talked us through each step, describing what would happen and what we needed to do. It was reassuring to have Yvonne there to promptly answer any questions we had and give us enough information to help us, knowing she had great knowledge of the US immigration system. The whole process was easy and relatively straightforward with Yvonne giving us directions and advice. Her part of filing all relevant forms was done correctly and promptly. She even let us know when each part was submitted, reviewed and confirmed by USCIS. Professional, helpful and efficient service all round. We would definitely recommend and even use Yvonne again.
