Immigration - Green Card

This process would definitely not have been as seamless without the assistance of Lawrence Holmes. We worked with Danielle Loftus, and were very happy with her professionalism, expertise, and quick response time. The overall turnaround time from when we submitted our application to receiving the gre...en card was 6 months from an L1 visa, which is about what Danielle told us in the beginning.

Excellent service

My husband sent the petition by end of May 2012 to USCIS and during the process Anne Canter was guiding and supporting us. I had my interview on Feb 11, 2013 and got my approval. Now I am waiting for my visa to be able to move to USA. Thank you for the help you gave us during this time. God bless you... all.

Great help

There were some update hiccups in the beginning but after we established a communication basis everything went so smooth. It was especially difficult because I was trying to get this started oversees, while transitioning out of the corps, but overall it was a great experience.

Received Green Card in less than 4 months

Larry and his assistant Danielle were awesome to work with. Because of their knowledge, experience and professionalism we received my wife's green card in less than four months from the time we made our application. It was amazing, we got married on October 1st and received the green card today on ...January 28th. They answered all of our questions promptly and with confidence. It is such a scary process and you know you don't want anything messed up because you could spend years fixing any mistake or miscommunication. They made sure we understood the process, the forms and most importantly the dreaded interview. We actually got the green card exactly two weeks from the interview. I didn't know the government could move that quickly. I am a professional and have several attorneys that work for me. Hiring Larry and his firm as an immigration specialist was the perfect decision. I would recommend them to everyone with absolute confidence.

A Fantastic Service, Highly Recommended.

I had considered moving from England to America many times to be with my long term partner Victoria (soon to be married!), but was initially put off by the length and complexity of the K1 visa application process. We both decided to try and complete the process alone but had real trouble getting past... the first step as neither of us have any experience in this field. We eventually made the very wise decision to seek the help of an immigration attorney. After much searching we decided on Lawrence R Holmes, there were cheaper alternatives available on the web, but none that looked/sounded as trustworthy or professional after contacting them. Once we signed the agreement we were assigned our own specialist, Yvonne, to assist us in our application from start to finish. We certainly could not have done this without her constant help by phone or email. From small queries to bigger problems, we both found her to be efficient, knowledgeable and helpful throughout our case. Our K1 visa has been approved with no problems and I am now set to enter the USA in the following month! I will certainly be re hiring them to help with the adjustment of status (green card) once we are married and settled in the USA. If you are considering applying for a K visa I cannot recommend this firm enough, without their help I am almost certain we would not have got to this stage at all! Our thanks from Richard and Victoria
