K1 Visa

Wow where do I start. After Wasiu and I met in Africa and were sure we wanted to be married I returned home. And hired Mr Holmes. He has been amazing. The preparation was time consuming but well worth it. My fiancé at the time was granted a K1 Visa without any complications after all the preparatio...n and Mr Holmes law firm knew exactly what was needed and prepared everything to go to the consulate after requested documents were submitted to them.... wasiu was granted the K1 Visa we were married 2 months later. Then it's the adjustment of status again Mr Holmes law firm right on top of it and now my husband has been granted his green card. We are so very glad we used the Homes law firm in this long and difficult process. I highly recommend this law firm. They are professional very knowledgeable and supportive every step of the way. Thank you Mr Homes and your team of staff who has made all of this possible. You come highly recommend.

Incredibly helpful and efficient

This review is in regards, specifically, to our paralegal specialist, Yvonne. We have used Lawrence R Holmes, Immigration Attorney over the last 3 or so years with help with Permanent Residency. Yvonne was our paralegal through all of it. For such a complicated and important process, it felt incre...dibly easy and with minimal stress. Yvonne talked us through each step, describing what would happen and what we needed to do. It was reassuring to have Yvonne there to promptly answer any questions we had and give us enough information to help us, knowing she had great knowledge of the US immigration system. The whole process was easy and relatively straightforward with Yvonne giving us directions and advice. Her part of filing all relevant forms was done correctly and promptly. She even let us know when each part was submitted, reviewed and confirmed by USCIS. Professional, helpful and efficient service all round. We would definitely recommend and even use Yvonne again.

Awesome team through a stressful ordeal

I had Yvonne as my case manager. She was FANTASTIC!!! She was always there when I needed anything and she was always checking on my case. We retained them for the K1, Permanent Resident, 10 year Permanent Resident and I think we will for the US Citizenship. Sure, we could do everything ourselves and ...save the money on lawyer fees, but at the end of the day, we get advice, answer questions from professionals (not experience from others in the internet, cause every case is unique) we had reassurance all paperwork was correct and complete and the reassurance with multiple retaining that our paperwork goes through on the first try. Thank you Yvonne and thank you Lawrence Holmes, immigration attorney!!

Great Attorney!!

Lawrence R Holmes and his team were exceptional in handling and progressing our case. We experienced no complications and no delays and this was because of the knowledge, experience and thoroughness of this team. They were able to guide us through each step of the process, keep us informed and respon...d to all our questions in a timely manner. At times of frustration they were reassuring and hopeful. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with and no doubt we'll be getting in touch with them when my Green Card is up for renewal.

CR1 visa

My husband hired Lawrence for my CR1 Spouse visa. First class service was provided by this farm. We got Heather and Yovnne as our personal attorney. Heather worked with patience but Yovnne is the best. She was a Nobel soul made our hard immigration journey so easy. She filled each form correctly and ...help us with all information. She is friendly, kind and skilled. Great to work with her and this farm too.
