Immigration lawyers in Michigan

Immigration in Michigan

Metro Detroit is home to the largest and most concentrated Arab-American community in the United States, centered on Dearborn, and the auto industry's engineering needs draw skilled workers from around the world. The Detroit-Windsor crossing also makes Michigan a major land border with Canada. Major population centers include Detroit, Dearborn, Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor.

Common matters include automotive and engineering H-1B and L-1 cases, university-sponsored research petitions in Ann Arbor, family immigration, and a significant asylum and removal docket — including many cases from the region's Iraqi-Chaldean community — at the Detroit immigration court.
