Lawrence Richard Holmes

I decided to use Mr Holmes as my lawyer to get a K1 Visa for my fiancee in China based on his claims on his web site of being the best with Chinese K1 visas. After receiving a "request for evidence" due to USCIS claiming her divorce decree is not sufficient, Diana told me all I needed to do is get an...other divorce decree to send to them because her divorce dicree is good. After some months we receive a "denial" notice from USCIS saying there is not enough proof she is divorced. At this point Diana does not know what I can do. I asked several times to speak with Mr Holmes with no luck. I have not spoke to Mr Holmes through this whole process. My only communication thus far had been with Diana. At this point I have know idea what to do. Dianna suggests I hire a lawyer in China to get the correct divorce papers. But she had told me the whole time we HAD the correct papers. I finally got to speak with Mr Holmes. He also suggested I hire a lawyer in China. But why do that? I hired Mr Holmes firm. He tells me he does not know what documents I need. WHAT? I then ask for half of my money back because he obviously does not know what needs to be done and in turn did not uphold his part in his "contract". He gets very rude, says "it's not gonna happen". He told me to "get the correct documents and I will send them in". I asked what do I need to get? He says "I don't know. Hire a lawyer in China to get what you need". I asked for my money back again. He said "I can see we are not going anywhere with this" and hung up on me. I found another lawyer (in the USA) who knew what the problem was. I would not recommend Mr Holmes law firm for Chinese visas.

Dear Diana and Larry.  I had my interview and I passed.   It only took 40 minutes.   The immigrations officer kept telling me what a great lawyer You are.   He said the paper work you guys submitted was perfect.   He said it was unbelievable and he had never seen anything like it before!!!!!!!! ...   I wanted to thank you both for helping me and doing such a wonderful job.  I am very, very happy.   I am wishing you and your families a happy and wonderful Christmas.   Best Regards,  Lana

Mr. Holmes and his office helped us get our K1 Visa. I thought that I would be able to get the visa by myself within a month. I soon found out that I would need a lot of help. I called Mr. Holmes and felt very comfortable with the conversation we had about the visa. I discovered that it was going... to be a long process. Every step of the way I had the guidance of a professional. I don't know how I could have found my way through the maze of this process without help. Here we are a year later and everything we have now is due to the fact that Mr Holmes and his office helped us. My wife and I thank you for all your hard work and wish you all the best.

In 2009, I met a beautiful woman that was visiting the United States from Thailand. We hit things off well, and she spent four months here. After that time, she had to return to Thailand. At times, we would spend anywhere from four to six months apart without seeing each other. In 2010, before she we...nt back home again, I decided to propose to her. This being the biggest decision of my life, I was nervous. Not only was I about to marry someone, this someone lived in another country with no easy way to come and go when she wanted. I knew that I would need legal help to guide us through the tricky U.S. Immigration system, but with no previous experience in this area, who could I trust to make sure this didn't get screwed up? I did some research on my own, and after calling Lawrence R. Holmes with an inquiry, received a response in less than twenty-four hours. They emailed me a contract same day for my review, and after consulting with my fiancee, we decided to go with them. They were flexible with payments, and the total cost of the services was VERY reasonable, especially after seeing and experiencing first-hand all of the paperwork involved in a K-1 visa case. Which leads me to my next point - the paperwork. There were so many things involved in this process, that at times, I felt like my head was about to explode. But Lawrence R. Holmes was there whenever I had a question. I almost always received a response in less than twenty-four hours. Part of the reason I believe I never had to wait for the U.S. Embassy in Thailand, Homeland Security, etc. is because Lawrence R. Holmes already had all the forms organized before we even started the case. It was nice having a checklist that I could reference as I completed the information required. If I had tried to do this on my own, I don't think I would have done it correctly - and in the immigration system, one mistake can cost a month in re-processing time. At one point, the U.S.C.I.S. tried disputing some information I provided them. I was worried that this would delay things for months. Lawrence R. Holmes looked at their reason for the dispute, and let me know that the immigration agent was not correct in their reasoning, fired back a response a day later, and assured me it would be cleared up. After approximately one week, we received another letter indicating that my attorney was right, and that the case would be approved as planned. After looking at what U.S.C.I.S. was claiming, I would have NEVER known how to respond. If there were even any doubts left about my attorney, they vanished at this point. I was glad to know I had someone so knowledgeable on my side. From this point, things were easier. They provided my fiancee a list of things she would need for the U.S. Embassy in Thailand, and she got everything done before her appointment. One week after receiving her visa, she was on a plane to California to be with me again. All we need to do is get married now, and everything will be perfect. I can't thank them enough for their hard work, timely responses, and SUCCESS in letting my fiancee be together with me. Choosing Lawrence R. Holmes was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Best advise, highly experienced, easy to reach, organized, professional, nominally priced, super friendly, personal & works with a highly professional staff. Ultimately outperformed our expectations. Got my Fiancée the help we needed to solicit for her VISA in the option we wanted ASAP. After hearin...g of so many horror stories of crooked attorneys I'm very glad that we hired Holmes.
