Lawrence Richard Holmes

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.........

I found out out Lawrence R Holmes from an online search. As is my nature, I searched for and spoke with several law firms before deciding upon Mr. Holmes. From my very first conversation with Mr. Holmes (He was knowledgable, kind and so easy to talk with) right through the immigration hearing our exp...erience was positive! As a side note, I have to mention that even after I had retained Mr. Holmes I was still receiving calls from other immigration attorneys and firms that I had left messages for inquiring about their services. The one common theme when they would return my call and inquire about whom I had retained was that Mr. Holmes had been in immigration law for a long time and that I had retained the best of the best. Diana assisted me in the beginning with all the initial paperwork and our case was than assigned to Trang. Trang was professional, knowledgeable and always quick to respond. I was disappointed and a bit panicked when our case was reassigned but from the moment Diana said she would be continuing our case to her congratulations after my wife was approved at her interview it was a great experience! Diana is knowledgable, courteous, prompt to respond and was so empathetic to my moments of panic and uncertainty! Diana is my far one of the most patient individuals I have had the pleasure to work with and I'm grateful for how she handled our case! Now my wife and son are here in the United States from Vietnam and it's time to work on Adjustment of Status. Anybody that searches online or spends any amount of time on immigration blogs will see and hear that there are many choices when it comes to receiving assistance with K1 visas. I hope that one of the greatest compliments that I can pay to Mr. Holmes and his team is that I retained them for round 2! I couldn't think of any other team that I would want leading my family through this next stage our our journey than Lawrence Holmes and Diana! If you are just reaching out as you begin your own immigration journey take a chance with Lawrence R. Holmes, you won't be disappointed!

I hired Lawrence Holmes's office to help me with my now-husband's K-1 fiance visa as well as his adjustment of status (green card) application. I had the blessing of working with Yvonne during the whole process. Yvonne is nothing short of amazing; professional, knowledgeable, personable, and underst...anding. During the K-1 Visa process, I was nervous about all the paperwork and of course wanted everything to go smoothly and quickly. Yvonne was so kind and took the time to answer EVERY question I had, via email or on the phone. She has done this for 20 years and knows her stuff- and she also is very patient and understands that this process is a difficult one. She never made me feel like my questions or concerns were a burden. Our process went much, much smoother and quicker than that of friends' who decided to do it on their own, without a lawyer. I also loved that the law office did not nickle-and-dime me for their help. For example, each time we needed to send paperwork to immigration (or to me, as I was living in another state at the time) we were not charged extra for postage or shipping. My numerous email and phone conversations were never added to my bill. Yvonne even printed photos of my husband and I to submit with the paperwork when I didn't have access to a printer! I could go on and on but to sum it up I am SO grateful that I decided to get the help of Lawrence Holmes Law Office. I would 100% recommend working with them and especially amazing Yvonne!! Thank you so much!

Yvonne helped my wife and I come together and get married after a difficult beginning. The whole process took a very long time but Yvonne guided us through every step of the way. Breaking down what seemed a very long and daunting process into a very manageable approach. Her knowledge of the process... was fantastic, always ready to listen to our issues and offer sound advice. Going through this process has been a very long and trying journey. One without her extensive help would not have been possible. My wife and I would definitely recommend her services not just to a friend but to anyone thinking about going down that road. We strongly agree she handle our case with the up most professionalism in a punctual and polite manor. She made us feel comfortable and confident in a long and daunting process what has brought us together and are the better because if it. We sincerely appreciate all her hard work and dedication.

Personal attention from a dedicated team of superior professionals who sincerely care about you and your loved one. My wife (Jamaica) and I can echo all of the other folks you see in all the rest of these testimonials. Never experienced hiring someone from so far away (I’m in New Orleans), but tha...t first phone call with Mr Larry truly set my mind at ease. I had initially inquired about a fiancée visa, with the intention of marrying in the U.S. during the 90 day window. But after our discussion revealed that she had already been denied a tourist visa on several occasions due to “no significant reasons to return (to Jamaica)” {…all of her family and friends…???!!}, he bluntly asked me, “Do you want to marry the girl?” When I immediately answered “Yes”, he plainly told me to “get your ass down there, marry her THERE, and we’ll bring her here as your WIFE!” That was it….I was SOLD! Not only that, but simply the fact that I went to the extent of hiring an immigration specialist, made a HUGE impact on my wife’s family and friends, especially her Mom and her best friend! They knew then that I was truly serious, and it made such a difference in their willingness to support her in her decision to leave her home country. This is a very lengthy process, and Mr Larry’s staff was incredibly responsive to any and all requests from my wife and myself. In particular, during our process, the Immigration Service decided to upgrade their system from using printed forms to online forms! We were instantly alerted by our paralegal to this change, and swiftly submitted the required documents so we experienced the least amount of delay possible. No telling how long all that would have taken us without the outstanding expertise of the folks who were always at the ready, and looking out for us! The most significant impact of having Mr Holmes and his staff on your team is at the moment of truth….when your loved one steps up to that window. The interviewer at the embassy has a professionally prepared packet before them. They know that this person at the counter is NOT ALONE, and that they are represented by an attorney from the U.S.! That already speaks volumes in favor of “proof of a sincere relationship” before your loved one even opens their mouth! My wife came in with a large 3 ring binder of our correspondence, bank records, tax returns, phone bills (YIKES!!). Imagine her reaction when the interviewer told her she didn’t really need all of that, he had everything he needed right in front of him! He only asked maybe a dozen questions at most, including if she had any recent photos of the two of us together. Her confidence soared when she sweetly told him, “Of course!” “We have some we took outside a few minutes ago, but my husband is holding my phone….shall I go fetch him?” His next question, “Will you be leaving the country immediately after this interview? …because your visa is APPROVED!” When she exited the embassy and rounded the corner, I didn’t even have to ask how it went, she was only about four feet off the ground!! Our gratitude cannot be measured, and the difference in our lives is beyond my ability to describe in words. Too bad I don’t have a way of adding the sound of our hearts beating alongside each other for the purpose of this testimonial….just use your imagination! Believe me, it's a VERY happy sound!! Currently, we are looking forward to removing my wife’s “conditional” status in the coming months, and once we pass the three year mark, she will apply for U.S. citizenship. Naturally, we will seek out Mr Larry Holmes and his tremendous staff at kvisas to ensure an absolutely flawless process! God Bless y’all
