AMAZING

My wife and I searched for a few hours online before deciding to go with Lawrence R. Holmes as our attorney. After talking to him on the phone, we both felt he was the best choice. Holmes and his office handled our case well beyond my wife and my expectations. They made the process comfortable, easy,... efficient, and fast. The paralegal working with us (Yvonne) answered all of our questions, no matter how basic, and helped us each and every step of the way. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lawrence R. Holmes to anyone wanting to get married. You will not be disappointed. I also want to state if my wife and I had done this on our own, or chosen another attorney, the process would have taken much longer, and I'm sure it would not have been handled with such care. Thank you, Lawrence R. Holmes, and you and your team for all that you have done for us.

Rasid's review

This lawyer and his staff were extremely helpful and professional. All services were completed promptly and in a professional manner. They went above and beyond to make sure that we was kept informed and that everything went as smoothly as possible. My case required special attention as I was deploye...d to the Middle East at the time and they provided me with the services I needed. Excellent!

ATL/DR K-1 Visa

My husband and I had been looking for the right lawyer to handle our case. My husband is from the Dominican Republic and I am a U.S. citizen from Atlanta, GA. I was worried, as a student working mostly part-time, about being able to manage the entire process, but Mr. Holmes and his staff were so enti...rely helpful with the whole ordeal and made everything affordable. Even though his office is located on the opposite side of the country, everything seemed to flow seamlessly. The emails and instructions I received from them were very straightforward and easy to understand, and if I had any doubts, they were always extremely prompt and detailed in answering my questions. As first time visa seekers, we were a somewhat nervous the entire time; however, we were a great deal more at ease knowing we were in good hands. My husband received his visa from the embassy in Santo Dominigo in mid December (which made for the perfect Christmas present) and we were married just this month. We couldn't imagine anyone else being better to work with, and have also hired Mr. Holmes to oversee our AOS process!

A true one in a million rare pink diamond

Dear Lawrence, my wife Cindy and I are so grateful for your services. I researched all over the Internet for three days. spoke to over twenty (20) immigration attorneys before I decided to choose kvisas. I must say that any attorney that you speak to and requires a fee before he/she can give you a...dvice is just a waste a time and money. from the very beginning kvisas helped me with the process of my CR 1 visa for my wife. Diana is an awesome person who is tentative to your every concerns and questions. I would email her anytime and within a few hours she would respond in detail. also only phoned Lawrence three times but he was available to speak to me right away. kvisas is the best kept secret on google.com also, wanted to point out that I live in new York and kvisas is located in California. never actually met the people who helped me with bringing my wife Cindy to the united states of America. less then six months after retaining the services of kvisas my wife and I were traveling together from Colombia to the USA. God Bless kvisas, Luis from new York CR 1 visa from Colombia

Excellent Immigration Law Firm

Our K-1 (Fiancee) Visa process was primarily handled by their excellent paralegal Diana, though dealing with others in the firm was equally easy and pleasant. It's a very professional staff. Information regarding the visa process was always explained in a timely, thorough manner. The primary job w...as gathering and organizing the information required by the U.S. government, and guiding us through the proper submission procedures. Their familiarity with the correct responses to confusing questions on government forms - thus avoiding delays in the overall process - was invaluable, not to mention it put our minds at ease. Even though we are located in a different state, we always felt comfortable dealing with this firm in California, given it is their specialized field, and it's clear they know their business. They definitely made this stressful process FAR easier to deal with than if we had attempted to do it ourselves. And most importantly, we were successful! I highly recommend this firm to anyone planning to start the immigration process.
