Thank You

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help during the immigration process and for giving Patti and I the useful information that we required to make the process go as smoothly as it did. Both Patti and I would recommend your services to anyone who is contemplating the immigr...ation process to the U.S. It is a lengthy process and there are a lot of forms that require to be completed correctly otherwise this will delay the process even more. Your expert knowledge of the process and the way the system works enabled us to complete the immigration process with the minimum of delay and enable us to live our life together. Once again Diana "Thank You" for all your help.

My husband received his 10 year Permanent residence (Green-card) !! So delighted!!!

I engaged the services of Lawrence R Holmes to apply for an Adjustment of status for my husband. We were already married for over two years when we applied. Having research the immigration process we decided to engage the immigration services of Lawrence R Holmes. and I have to say we're glad we did.... I don't think we would have made a successful application if we attempted DIY application it's a minefield of legal pitfalls and if you make a mistake you could jeopardize the whole process. LRH took care of everything we would recommended Lawrence & his paralegal Yvonne. Thank you Lawrence & Yvonne so much !

K-1 Visa (Jamaica)

I am speechless :-).... Mr. Holmes and his staff are amazing. They work very fast, explain things very clearly, answered the millions of questions I had and made the process very smooth and easy. All I had to do was provide them with the requested information and they handled everything. Heather Carn...aje was assigned to assist me with the processing of my petition with Mr Holmes overseeing everything. I live in New York and my fiance lived in Jamaica. After providing them with all the necessary documents, we officially began filing October 2013 and received notification that our petition was received by the USCIS November 2013. Our Petition was approved January 2014. As you can see based on the time frame our petition was approve rather quickly due to the promptness of Heather Carnaje and Mr Holmes. My fiance had has his medical exam appt and interview in April 2014 and received his visa May 28 2014 (about a month after his interview). He arrived in New York May 31, 2014 We are currently scheduled to get married on 07/18/2014. I am very thankful and appreciate all the hard work and dedication that this office provided us. I never thought it would happen this fast. :-)

Many, Many Thanks - K1 Visa now Permanent Resident

It was a pleasure to work with Yvonne over the years as my wife and I first petitioned for a fiance visa, and then for permanent resident status. My wife now has her green card. We are both so thankful for the professional support and guidance that Yvonne has provided us through this journey. We will... continue to work with her on any and all future immigration issues. Thank You!!

Hiring LR Holmes was the best thing I've done!

My case manager was Yvonne. Contacted her twice. First to apply for conditional green card, second to remove conditions. Both times got my visa in less than two months. Yvonne made it so easy! She was easy to get in touch with by phone or email. She would always get back to me on ANY question I had t...he same day. Always recommend her to all of our friends. And we heard that she helped to get things right for some of them already. Will definitely continue using her services in future. Hiring LR Holmes was best thing I've done! Definitely money well spent!
