Lawrence Richard Holmes

Upon searching for an immigration lawyer online, i came across Mr. Holmes. He had some good reviews so i discussed it with my husband and we decided to use him. After paying our fees, we were emailed the relevant paper work from his paralegal to be completed and returned to him. We did as was told a...nd our petition started in mid August 2014. In early September we received a letter from USCIS with appointment for biometrics. After completing that i got my Employment Authorization Card in late November. Early December, i received another letter from USCIS with our interview date set for early January. We went and the interview and was successful! Green card was sent in the mail about a week after. Each time we got a letter from USCIS the paralegal that works with Mr. Holmes would email us to ensure we received the letters and is preparing for whatever that was scheduled which was very professional. We had no problem at all working with Mr. Holmes. Thanks much to Mr. Holmes and his team. We are definitely looking forward to work with him in the next 2 years Gods willing.

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.

The service I received from Yvonne with the Lawrence R Holmes Immigration Attorney's office was very helpful and professional. They quickly answered any questions I had quickly, they were knowledgeable, and efficient. Yvonne made what seems like a cumbersome process run smoothly and without any hitc...hes. My fiancee and I were much more comfortable during this process because we had Yvonne's assistance.

I first discovered him online last summer when I was living in Yokohama, Japan and contemplating the bewildering intricacies of the I-864 Affidavit of Support form, which I had to fill out in order to get my Japanese wife an immigrant visa to my native America. I had been struggling with the DS-260 O...nline Visa Application form for about two weeks at that time, and it was a royal pain, a constant, never-ending irritation, but at least it looked like it was possible; it looked like eventually I might be able to get through that thing if I just kept my head down and my attention focused on the task long enough. But the I-864 Affidavit of Support form? No, that was NOT possible. The more I looked through the pages of that form the more I realized that I was caught in a terrible bind. I had no idea how to proceed through the bureaucratic gobbledygook of that form, especially since I was unemployed at that time, and had no income to prove that I was able to support my wife in the States. They were going to stop me, I knew; they were going to keep me from bringing my wife back to America. And then one night I discovered Lawrence Holmes online. He said, in his web page, that if I was having visa problems he was my answer. Immediately I sent him an email, basically outlining my problem: I couldn’t understand the I-864 Affidavit of Support form, I told him; I just couldn’t follow it. The only thing that was clear to me was that according to that form I didn’t have enough money to support my wife in the States, and so the government was not going to let her in; it was not going to give her an immigrant visa. I had an answer from him the next morning. “Even though you’re unemployed,” he said, “according to what you said in your email to me you have enough money in the bank to prove you can support your wife.” I was very surprised. “I do?” I said in a return email to him. “How do you figure?” And he wrote back and said, “call me as soon as you get to the States and I’ll tell you how it works.” To make a long story short, Lawrence Holmes did the impossible: he got my wife a visa; he did it because he knew how the system works. He knew that if you have a certain amount of cash in the bank you don’t need an income. Nobody at the embassy in Tokyo told me that, and the I-864 form didn’t tell me that, at least not in any way that I was able to understand, but Lawrence Holmes knew that. “You’ve got no problem,” he assured me, “none at all.” He’s expensive; he cost me $2,000; but it was cheap at the price because he saved my life. As soon as I signed the dotted line on the form he sent me, and paid him with my credit card, he turned me over to one of paralegals in his office, a woman named Yvonne. She was the one who did all the work, but she did it under his guidance. She filled out all the forms for me, gave me telephone numbers, email and postal addresses and URLs so that I could get my hands on any info I needed in a flash, explained all the intricacies of all the government workings to me, and…in the end she set my wife up with an interview at the Tokyo embassy in record time. She always answered every question I had instantly, either by email or telephone, and led me calmly, cheerfully by the hand through every single step of the way. Without Yvonne and Lawrence Holmes I never would have gotten my wife a visa. NEVER! But with them it was easy; it was just as easy as it could be. What more can I say?

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!
