When my (now) foreign husband and I decided to get married, we knew this was going to be a tough process. I knew I wanted to find someone, who had lots of experience and reasonable priced. After searching for a few months and interviewing several Lawyers, I came across Larry's, (Mr Holmes), K1visa,... web site. I sent in my contact information and with in 1 or 2 days, I got a call back. Not from the secretary or other office staff, but from Larry Himself. He was personable, and took his time to answer my dozens of questions. When we finally hired him it was about a year later. I sent him an email, re-introducing myself, and he picked up the phone and called me. He told me then, ANYTIME I had any questions just call. I really like the organization of this office. With each step in the process, we were given a "To Do" list,, in which we followed to the letter. This is very precise, and takes good record keeping on your part, but I cannot stress the importance of doing this, as they lay it ALL out for you. It will save you time and money in the future. Larry and Diana ( our contact), delivered as promised! We started the Process July 7, 2016 and my fiance arrived May 9th, 2018. Less than 1 year! We were married May 23rd, 2017. Coming to America for my husband is a still on-going process, and we will continue to hire Mr. Holmes and his team for each step. He was just approved for his 2 year green card, on Oct 16th, 2018. Our next step will be in 2 years, when we file for "Permanent" resident, and I will hire Larry and Diana again. Thanks again Larry and Diana!

I contacted and retained Mr. Holmes so that we could attain a "Green Card" for my wife, who is from mainland China. He along with assistant, Diana Nunez, made a truly difficult and very stressful process easy for us. They gave us clear and precise instructions with plenty of time to prepare our do...cumentation for the interview. Diana explained to us how each and every step of the process, in detail would work, when, and what to expect. Because of their attention to detail in the preparation of all our government documents, we had no surprise at the interview. No matter what questions we had, they were all answered quickly with patience, understanding, and compassion. My family and I thank you and your staff very much for the professionalism and courtesy shown to us. I would highly recommend your services to anyone!

They took the stress out the process!

It was a pleasure to work with Yvonne and she made it a breeze to walk through the procedures. We've used them for two different immigration actions and I would recommend you let them help navigate the immigration law instead of trying it on your own - they are expert at what they do.

Would definitely recommend

I would definitely recommend Lawrence R Holmes and his firm. They worked on my wife's 2 year and 10 resident green card and also her K1 visa before we were married. Our paralegal, Yvonne was very good. She was always quick to reply to any questions or concerns we had. The immigration process can be c...omplicated and there is a lot of paperwork involved but Yvonne made everything simple and strait forward. We never had any problems with this firm. I can not image going through the immigration process without the help that Lawrence R Holmes and Yvonne provided.
