Immigration lawyers in South Carolina
Immigration in South Carolina
The 'Upstate' has become a manufacturing magnet — BMW's only U.S. assembly plant is in Spartanburg, Boeing builds the 787 in Charleston, and Michelin and Bridgestone run major tire operations — drawing both international transferees and a growing production and construction workforce. Major population centers include Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Spartanburg.
Cases span L-1 and H-1B transfers tied to the auto, aerospace, and tire industries, EB green cards for engineers, H-2A and employment matters in agriculture and construction, and family immigration; removal cases are generally heard at the Charlotte immigration court.
