Immigration Law in Michigan

Michigan has diverse immigrant communities concentrated in metro Detroit (Dearborn has the largest Arab American population in the US), Grand Rapids (Burmese/Karen refugees), and Lansing (various refugee populations). The Detroit USCIS field office handles significant volumes of family-based petitions and naturalizations. Attorney fees range from $1,500-$4,000 for family cases. Michigan's automotive industry historically sponsored many H-1B and L-1 visa holders. The state's refugee resettlement programs create demand for asylum and adjustment of status services. Deportation defense costs $5,000-$12,000 through the Detroit Immigration Court.
