CR-1 spousal visa

I hired attorney Holmes to represent me in my CR-1 spousal visa petition back in July 2017. From the onset, he explained everything to me in a free consultation in regards to timeline and expectations and what the process involved. I was really impressed with his knowledge of the process and the ...region. I was lucky to be placed in the hands of Yvonne(paralegal). She did a fabulous job preparing the forms and also engaging with me if I had any questions. She would also follow up if there were delays and was always level headed and compassionate despite our agony and frustrations with the process.. Yvonne is amazing and I definitely recommend her and attorney holmes, they do a wonderful job

The Most Professional and caring Firm

I chose Mr. HOLMES firm right after a call that I had placed to his office discussing a K1 visa. At the end of the conversation I Knew confidently that Holme's firm is what I would be comfortable with. He explained every thing and taking his time and came across as a straight shooter right of the sta...rt . I was not even charged any money for all the generous consultation that he extended to me. My case was assigned later to Ms. Yvonne who I have so much admiration and respect for her due to her diligence , care , friendliness , rich knowledge and professionalism that I had honestly never seen from a law firm. This lady handled my case so well and successfully with so much love and care that has blown me away. From the time we filed for the k1 visa to my fiancé's arrival took 3 months and a few days. Yvonne was always so available with her advice and resolving specific issues that I had felt my case is being handled with so much genuine care. She is an asset to the firm and to all clients that are being cared for by her. I really feel lucky for doing business with Holmes firm and most importantly being handled and cared for by Yvonne. I never felt out of the loop , I was always well informed by her and well advised. I remember on a late afternoon she dedicated and sacrificed her personal time just so she can answer my concerns and that was the day before my fiancé's interview in Abu Dhabi. Without her help we probably could have not had a successful interview. I am so grateful to Holmes firm and specifically to Yvonne. Well done Mr. Holmes for having such qualified and caring people for your clients. You guys are the best in the business of Immigration matters.

This attorney was worth every penny!

My wife is a US citizen and I am a recently approved US permanent resident! After getting spontaneously married, we looked into filing our own visa petitions but it all seemed too complicated (and we each have Masters degrees!). A Google search returned Lawrence R Holmes, an attorney with almost 25 y...ears' experience in the field of obtaining K1 Visas. We noticed that they offered a free consultation so we gave them a call. After that first phone call with Richard Holmes, we were filled with confidence and requested the company's services soon after. Since then, Yvonne, the most friendly paralegal in the world, kept in touch frequently and answered any query we had pertaining to paperwork etc. She described the separate petitions that we would need to file and what evidence we would need for each. She was always very clear about what we had to do in emails and phone correspondence. She held our hands the whole way through the application process and even gave us some advice for our joint interview at the USCIS office. All in all, we were very happy with Lawrence R Holmes. We would recommend them to anyone going through a similar process. The biggest help was their flexibility in rescheduling payments. Whenever we knew that we couldn't make a full payment by a specific date, all we had to do was call and rearrange or split payments into even more smaller/manageable chunks.

From the first day my husband talked to Larry about oucase after we were denied my fiancee visa,I knew we had to hire them,they gave us more listening ear than the other lawyers without any fee,they were so thorough even though with a little delay before filing,and today I'm a green card holder.they... are the best with experience.they are so meticulous that the consular that interviewed me didn't have any question for me which is what I love most about the firm
