Immigration lawyers in Arkansas
Immigration in Arkansas
Northwest Arkansas punches far above its weight in immigration. Springdale is home to one of the largest Marshallese communities in the continental United States — a population with unique status under the Compacts of Free Association — and the region's poultry industry (Tyson is headquartered here) and Walmart's global supply chain pull in workers from around the world. Major population centers include Little Rock, Fayetteville, Springdale and Fort Smith.
Cases frequently involve poultry and food processing, corporate transfers tied to Bentonville's retail giants, agriculture, and the special considerations that come with Marshallese (COFA) status.
