Visa approval

I was so lucky to have found Mr. Holmes's office. He made what was a very stressful and emotional time for both me and my wife as easy as it could be. Our case was handled by Yvonne. Upon our first consultation she made me feel comfortable and reassured things would be fine. She gave me a time line, ...and things happened on or most times before her deadlines. The best thing is they told me once everything was finalized my wife would have her green card at the same time with their process. This was huge for me because I know that extra step once she got here would of been more expensive and stressful on us both. Yvonne was always professional, and even when I was stressing out about something she always made me know everything was going to be OK. Very timely with any questions I had. I am very happy to say my wife has her visa and green card process is over, once she is here we are done. Airline tickets purchased. I would highly recommend Yvonne and Mr. Holmes's.

The Best Chance I Ever Took

I found out out Lawrence R Holmes from an online search. As is my nature, I searched for and spoke with several law firms before deciding upon Mr. Holmes. From my very first conversation with Mr. Holmes (He was knowledgable, kind and so easy to talk with) right through the immigration hearing our exp...erience was positive! As a side note, I have to mention that even after I had retained Mr. Holmes I was still receiving calls from other immigration attorneys and firms that I had left messages for inquiring about their services. The one common theme when they would return my call and inquire about whom I had retained was that Mr. Holmes had been in immigration law for a long time and that I had retained the best of the best. Diana assisted me in the beginning with all the initial paperwork and our case was than assigned to Trang. Trang was professional, knowledgeable and always quick to respond. I was disappointed and a bit panicked when our case was reassigned but from the moment Diana said she would be continuing our case to her congratulations after my wife was approved at her interview it was a great experience! Diana is knowledgable, courteous, prompt to respond and was so empathetic to my moments of panic and uncertainty! Diana is my far one of the most patient individuals I have had the pleasure to work with and I'm grateful for how she handled our case! Now my wife and son are here in the United States from Vietnam and it's time to work on Adjustment of Status. Anybody that searches online or spends any amount of time on immigration blogs will see and hear that there are many choices when it comes to receiving assistance with K1 visas. I hope that one of the greatest compliments that I can pay to Mr. Holmes and his team is that I retained them for round 2! I couldn't think of any other team that I would want leading my family through this next stage our our journey than Lawrence Holmes and Diana! If you are just reaching out as you begin your own immigration journey take a chance with Lawrence R. Holmes, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent immigration attorney

After an Internet search, and reading about his qualifications and dedication to his profession, I hired Mr. Holmes to help guide my fiancee and me through the labyrinthine process of getting her K-1 visa. Based on that experience, we retained him through the successive steps of establishing her per...manent residence, and ultimately her naturalization to US citizenship. While we could have contacted Mr. Holmes directly at any point in the process, we dealt exclusively with Diana Nunez, who proved more than competent, capable and responsive to the myriad questions we had. The task of gathering all the required documents and information, and properly presenting them to the government, can seem daunting. It quickly became apparent that we were well represented by a truly professional team, one in whom my wife and I had total confidence. With the deepest respect and sincerity, thank you, Lawrence and Diana

Always there to answer questions.

We found this service to be very affordable, and we felt we were in good hands for our K-1 fiancee visa. They were always prompt to answer the phone and our questions and very prompt in giving us follow up emails with next steps.

for Yvonne

We hired Lawrence Holmes for our immigration processing which Yvonne was our Paralegal Specialist. We filed for Removal of Condition on our own but the immigration asked for more evidence. We should of hired Lawrence Holmes from the very beginning of this process. After hiring Lawrence Holmes, Yvonne... was assigned to our case. She was very nice and polite on the phone, answered any question that we asked, was very helpful advising us for what we needed, always got back to us very promptly and I felt the service fee was very fair. We highly recommend Lawrence Holmes and Yvonne as the Paralegal Specialist - which our case went through with great success. - Mark & Edmalyn
