Immigration in North Dakota

The Bakken oil boom transformed western North Dakota and drew workers from across the country and abroad, while Fargo has become a steady refugee-resettlement city — earning the region a reputation as a destination for 'New Americans.' Major population centers include Fargo, Bismarck and Grand Forks.

Common matters include energy and employment visas, agricultural and H-2A labor, family immigration, and a meaningful asylum and adjustment docket for resettled communities.
