Lawrence Richard Holmes

I would recommend to everybody to hire Lawrence R Holmes because they really know what they are doing they have a great team and all the knowledge to help all the people go through this process the right way, Diana help me to put all the paperwork together and make sure i understand every step, sh...e was very patient and helpful with me ( because trust me i have million of questions) and i really appreciate all the hard work and all of her dedication to my case. I can't wait to start working with this great team again to do my citizen ship process.

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.

For those who are indecisive about whether to hire a lawyer to lead the effort in seeking a visa to the United States, my rapid and strong opinion is, "It would be the best investment you could ever make!" Sure, I know the basics of making applications but I do not have the breadth or depth of exper...ience, I don't know all the 'buzz' or 'key' words that U.S. Immigration officials like to see and, there is no better expert to whom to direct questions and from whom to derive winning strategies than Lawrence R. Holmes. I do plan to continue using his services.

We hired Lawrence Holmes, to handle our petition. They did an excellent job in educating and informing us about the proceedures for filing our I.130 spousal visa. They kept us informed through the whole process and were very helpful and sensitive to our needs. I would recommend them to anyone who is... in need of assistance in immigration matters.

As a bit of background, my wife was here on a J-1 visa when we met, and it had a 2-year home residency requirement associated with it. I hired a lawyer (not Larry Holmes this first time) and filed for a waiver, but it was denied. Now when it came time to petition for my wife for her permanent reside...ncy in March of 2013, this experience with the former lawyer led me to think "Hey, I spent a LOT of money for something that was really straight forward...doing an I-130 with a lawyer must be prohibitively expensive." So I did the I-130 filing myself. ...And then the ever-present anxiety settled in...what if I did something wrong, what if they do a request for evidence? The more I read other people's experiences with I-130's, the more I couldn't sleep worrying about all that could go wrong...and knowing I was ill-prepared to properly deal with something if it did. It was under these circumstances - about 3.5 months after filing - that I came across Larry Holme's very informative website one night while doing some reading on various aspects of the I-130 and NVC process. I was so impressed with the amount of freely available information (and the experience backing it up) that I filled out the contact request form online. Larry called me the next morning and answered tons of questions I had about my case, what may happen, and how to handle various scenarios. Contrary to my prior experience elsewhere, when Larry offers a consultation, he consults on your case rather than using "consultation" as a misnomer for "sales pitch". Even after 20 or 30 minutes of discussing my case, Larry wanted to make sure he answered all my questions. And this impressed me greatly - he was truly interested in my case and in helping me. I was the one who had to switch the topic of discussion to how his firm would assist me with my case going forward. I was really amazed...like "Wow!" amazed...when Larry shared his pricing for taking over my case. Suffice it to say that to hire Larry to take over my case all the way through my wife's final immigration interview and visa issuance was a fraction of the cost I paid for the J-1 visa waiver lawyer - for far much more work. Hiring Larry Holmes and his firm was the best decision I made during this entire I-130 process. Danielle, a top-rate Paralegal Specialist, helped me with my case going forward. I literally have 50+ emails from her answering questions and notifying me of what I needed to do. When you go through any kind of immigration process, especially for your spouse from whom you're physically separated, you will have moments of panic and anxiety about one thing or another. And when those moments come up, Danielle is the person you want to be able to email or call. Really, she probably saved my life from all the stress she made disappear. I wholeheartedly recommend the law firm of Lawrence R. Holmes to anyone dealing with any aspect of immigration law.
