How we match your Farmington Hills immigration case

When you submit a Farmington Hills immigration matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A immigration matter needs someone who handles immigration work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Federal jurisdiction

This is federal law, so an attorney does not need to be licensed in Michigan to represent you — but they do need to know how your local office and courts handle these cases.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

No. Immigration is governed entirely by federal law. Applications and petitions are decided by USCIS, and deportation and removal cases are heard in federal immigration court before a federal immigration judge. Michigan state courts have no role, though a state criminal case can create serious immigration consequences.

Yes, and often more than people expect. Some pleas that seem minor in state court can trigger removal proceedings or block a green card or naturalization. If you are not a U.S. citizen, it is important to have an immigration attorney review any charge before a plea is entered.

Federal immigration deadlines vary widely by the type of notice, filing, or appeal, and some are very short and strictly enforced. Missing one can result in a denial or an order of removal entered without you. Bring any notice you receive to an attorney right away so the exact deadline can be confirmed.

Family-based, employment-based (Ford, GM, Stellantis, U-M, MSU, Wayne State, Henry Ford Health, Beaumont Health), humanitarian (asylum, U/T/VAWA, refugee adjustment for Iraqi/Syrian/Yemeni populations), and the diversity visa lottery. Many Michigan families consular-process with I-601A waivers.

After 5 years as an LPR (3 if married to a USC), file N-400, attend biometrics, and interview at the Detroit Field Office. English/civics testing applies. CARRP holds disproportionately affect Arab American applicants; an attorney can press the case.
