Immigration

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!

Excellent Experience with Positive Results!

Our experience using this firm for my Kenyan husband's CR-1 (spousal) visa exceeded our expectations. Diana was our primary contact and she displayed strong knowledge, attention to detail, and customer service skills. I should say she also has a ton of patience as we inundated her with questions at... times! Her responses were always prompt, detailed and professional yet friendly. She was more than capable of handling our case and we only needed to converse with Lawrence or Christopher in the beginning. The steps for the CR-1 visa are many (not to mention time consuming and lengthy - not a fault of anyone, it is just the process) and they kept us on track until we got to the finish line. After 1 year and 6 days we received the approval we were longing for! My husband and I keep saying that engaging this law firm was worth every penny. They helped us through an intimidating and emotional process with positive results.

Highly Recommended Holmes and Ramos Immigration Attorneys

I've been working with Lawrence and Diana since 2017 and they have been very helpful and knowledgeable. We were so happy with the service provided from start to finish. The process for me to get a K1 Visa as a UK citizen to marry my American fianceé was made easy and smooth, thanks to them. Every que...stion or doubt we had was always answered. Diana was very professional and of great help and always responded promptly to our emails. We are so thankful to Holmes and Ramos Immigration Attorneys. I believe strongly that there is no better way of dealing with immigration.

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.
