Immigration lawyers in Vermont
Immigration in Vermont
Vermont's dairy farms depend on a largely immigrant milking workforce — an open secret of the state's signature industry — while Burlington and Winooski have become some of the most diverse communities in northern New England through refugee resettlement. Major population centers include Burlington, Winooski and Montpelier.
Common matters include agricultural and dairy employment, family immigration, asylum and adjustment for resettled refugees, and the state's now-historic EB-5 investor activity around its ski-resort economy.
