Exactly what we needed

I'm very happy to say that I finally have my 10-year green card! My wife and I are very excited and we are extremely grateful to Yvonne for all of her help during this process. Yvonne is very professional, knowledgeable, and great at communication. She guided us in collecting all of our supporting do...cuments so that we could build a strong case from the very beginning and this helped get our application approved with more ease.

Obtained a K1 Visa

I hired the firm of Lawrence Holmes in December of 2015 in order to secure a K1 visa for my fiancee who lived in the Ukraine. I was told at the time that It would take 6 to 12 months depending upon the timeliness of documentation and the US Immigration workload. Ultimately I was assigned a lawyer w...ithin the firm named Melanie Ramos. The visa process is long and tedious because of the required documentation. Ms. Ramos gave us a lot of support and guidance in collecting documentation here in the US and also in the Ukraine. Most importantly for us, we did hit some road bumps with the process during the approval phase with US Customs and with the US Embassy in Kiev. Ms. Ramos navigated us through the challenges with great patience and skill. In the end we secured the K1 visa in early December of 2017. I am convinced that had I not chosen this firm to represent us, we would have failed to secure the visa. It is important for me to also acknowledge that their fees were very reasonable and never once did they suggest additional fees because of the extra effort required.

Professionalism Through and Through

Lawrence R. Holmes law firm is an Exceptional and professional service. I highly recommend them. They helped me get my then fiancee and now loving wife get over here. Today we got in the mail my wifes 10 year visa and soon we will also come to LRH for her citizenship. Know this, it is a long and ...difficult process you DO NOT want to do this alone. Diana at "Lawrence R. Holmes" was who helped me and she did an outstanding job through out the process. But if you are genuine and real there is nothing that gets in your way that you won't overcome and having a great law firm spearheading these processes is essential. So don't doubt yourself and if you love your fiancee and really want her/him at your side then all I can say is get "Lawrence R. Holmes" on your team and GO FOR IT!

Amjad & Carla

Speaking from experience, we strongly recommend you do not try to go through the immigration process without hiring a lawyer. A good law office will help you through this difficult, challenging process and stay with you until you have your Visa in hand. We were so blessed to have chosen the law off...ice of Lawrence Holmes and helped through the process by Yvonne. She is truly the best! She guided us step by step, was very, very supportive and stayed in close contact with us throughout the whole process. Yvonne, you really are awesome and we thank you from our hearts everyday.........
