Lawrence Richard Holmes

Personal attention from a dedicated team of superior professionals who sincerely care about you and your loved one. My wife (Jamaica) and I can echo all of the other folks you see in all the rest of these testimonials. Never experienced hiring someone from so far away (I’m in New Orleans), but tha...t first phone call with Mr Larry truly set my mind at ease. I had initially inquired about a fiancée visa, with the intention of marrying in the U.S. during the 90 day window. But after our discussion revealed that she had already been denied a tourist visa on several occasions due to “no significant reasons to return (to Jamaica)” {…all of her family and friends…???!!}, he bluntly asked me, “Do you want to marry the girl?” When I immediately answered “Yes”, he plainly told me to “get your ass down there, marry her THERE, and we’ll bring her here as your WIFE!” That was it….I was SOLD! Not only that, but simply the fact that I went to the extent of hiring an immigration specialist, made a HUGE impact on my wife’s family and friends, especially her Mom and her best friend! They knew then that I was truly serious, and it made such a difference in their willingness to support her in her decision to leave her home country. This is a very lengthy process, and Mr Larry’s staff was incredibly responsive to any and all requests from my wife and myself. In particular, during our process, the Immigration Service decided to upgrade their system from using printed forms to online forms! We were instantly alerted by our paralegal to this change, and swiftly submitted the required documents so we experienced the least amount of delay possible. No telling how long all that would have taken us without the outstanding expertise of the folks who were always at the ready, and looking out for us! The most significant impact of having Mr Holmes and his staff on your team is at the moment of truth….when your loved one steps up to that window. The interviewer at the embassy has a professionally prepared packet before them. They know that this person at the counter is NOT ALONE, and that they are represented by an attorney from the U.S.! That already speaks volumes in favor of “proof of a sincere relationship” before your loved one even opens their mouth! My wife came in with a large 3 ring binder of our correspondence, bank records, tax returns, phone bills (YIKES!!). Imagine her reaction when the interviewer told her she didn’t really need all of that, he had everything he needed right in front of him! He only asked maybe a dozen questions at most, including if she had any recent photos of the two of us together. Her confidence soared when she sweetly told him, “Of course!” “We have some we took outside a few minutes ago, but my husband is holding my phone….shall I go fetch him?” His next question, “Will you be leaving the country immediately after this interview? …because your visa is APPROVED!” When she exited the embassy and rounded the corner, I didn’t even have to ask how it went, she was only about four feet off the ground!! Our gratitude cannot be measured, and the difference in our lives is beyond my ability to describe in words. Too bad I don’t have a way of adding the sound of our hearts beating alongside each other for the purpose of this testimonial….just use your imagination! Believe me, it's a VERY happy sound!! Currently, we are looking forward to removing my wife’s “conditional” status in the coming months, and once we pass the three year mark, she will apply for U.S. citizenship. Naturally, we will seek out Mr Larry Holmes and his tremendous staff at kvisas to ensure an absolutely flawless process! God Bless y’all

We cannot give enough praise for all that Lawrence R Holmes Immigration Attorneys did for us! We had initially spoken with Christopher in relation to our case where he explained the immigration process to us very clearly and what was involved. We decided to hire them for their services which was the ...best decision we ever made. We were assigned Diana Nunez as our paralegal and she was very professional and understanding throughout the whole process. She was always very helpful with any questions we had and always on point with responses and deadlines. We were approved for my wife's residency status with condition. Two years later we re-hired there services to have the conditional status removed. We have now been approved for my wife's permanent residency status and could not be happier! Diana and team made such a stressful time so much easier for us as we always felt like we were in good hands. We could never have gone through this journey without their help. We could never thank you enough for all you have done for us!

My husband Mostafa and I (American citizen) lived in Luxor, Egypt. I had moved to Egypt in early 2010 and we purchased a home, planning to live there. My husband is a Spanish Tour Guide. Unfortunately, the political situation began to deteriorate and due to increasing violence the tourists stayed ...away. In addition, anti-American sentiments increased and I no longer felt safe. We decided to begin the green card process for my husband. Our situation was by no means ordinary due to a rather large age difference, which meant more hurdles to overcome. We knew that we needed a great lawyer to assist us. After a long search we decided to retain Mr. Holmes' firm. YVONNE, a paralegal specialist at the firm, guided us step by step via emails, long-distance telephone calls, documents shipped from Egypt to California and vice versa, and prepared Mostafa for his personal interview at the American Embassy in Cairo. We needed a lot of additional information to bolster our case and to prove that our marriage is authentic. Cancelled appointments due to Embassy closings and subsequent rescheduling made the scenario even more challenging. The interview finally happened but we needed additional documents to prove our case. Step-by-step Yvonne pulled us through. Mostafa received the visa and we traveled to he US in January of 2013. 2 years after our entry into the US, Yvonne assisted us in removing the conditions of the temporary green card and Mostafa was approved for the permanent green card. It will not end there, because in October Mostafa will again retain the firm to begin his citizenship process. I am convinced that we could not have achieved our goal without Yvonne's professional expertise.

My husband and I are both so happy with the services provided by Lawrence Holmes and his team. A great big thank you to Diana, who worked closely with us and explained every step clearly and made the entire Adjustment of Status process a lot less daunting than wading through it on our own. Thank y...ou! Tom and Vikki

Thank you so much to Yvonne and everyone at Lawrence R Holmes Attorney. From the beginning you were all friendly and helpful. You patiently walked my fiancé and I through the entire immigration process. It took a while but you were always there to help us. Now we are married and my wife has her g...reen card and we are looking forward to a long and happy life together. Thank you so much. This is a dream come true.
