Awesome service

Lawrence Holmes K1 visa handled our application for my fiancé. I'm from California and she is from Bhutan. Everything went very quickly and smooth with no snags. This is the second marriage they helped me with and hopefully the last. ;) I highly recommed their services and as you can see I came bac...k again. Best of luck to everyone else on this long rewarding journey.

I found Mr. Holmes quite by accident which proves that even chance encounters can have extraordinarily positive results. Mr. Holmes and Ms. Nunez kept with us during a very long visa process and were there with advice and quality experienced legal guidance every step of the way from initiation of the... K-1 visa to the permanent resident process. Caring, kind and understanding with a willingness to see our ordeal through seems to be a hallmark of the Lawrence Holmes culture. Thank you for all you've done for us, the trust that we have for you cannot be measured.

2nd Review - So Happy I found Them!

Attorney Holmes and his paralegal Heather has been wonderful every step of the way. Heather kept me informed throughout the entire process. Once my husband came to America on the fiance visa and we got married we began the process of filing for his green card in November 2014 and he received the temp...orary 2 year conditional green card in January 2015. This has been such a smooth and painless process and I wholeheartedly recommend them to ANY ONE who needs help in the immigration filing process. Everyone who I speak to about how quickly everything went through was absolutely stunned. Heather also contacts you when it nears the expiration date of the conditional green card and will assist with the process of filing for the permanent green card if you wish. This office works fast, efficiently, and are dedicated to providing you with the best experience and service possible. 5 stars without a doubt!! Thanks again Heather and Attorney Holmes for everything.

Fiance Visa

Starting in 2011, I hired Lawrence R. Holmes, because I wanted to get married, but the woman I proposed to was from China originally. It took about one year of patience and paperwork, and my partner came here on the k-1 visa. We married three months later, and his office has been helping me keep up w...ith the paperwork ever since. First the firm helped me with my wife's 2-year green card and then with a 10-year card. I recently celebrated my 4th anniversary with my wife, and I am thankful for all the help his office gave me.
