Why should I hire an immigration lawyer in Minnesota?

If you live in Minnesota and you are filing a case with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services – USCIS, or you are in deportation or removal proceedings in Minnesota, you need a lawyer in Minnesota.

In most instances your case will end up at the USCIS in Bloomington, MN, or at the Immigration Court in Bloomington, MN. If your case requires you to appear in-person, you will need a lawyer who is located in Minnesota, or better yet, in Bloomington, MN, to accompany you to USCIS or at Immigration Court.

Our office is uniquely familiar with the local procedures at both USCIS and the Immigration Court in Bloomington, MN. Although the federal law regarding immigration is the same around the country, the local rules and procedures can vary greatly. For example:

  • if you need to renew your employment card and merely show up at the USCIS office in Bloomington, MN, you will be turned away. That office changed its operating procedures and no longer accepts walk-ins for most applications.
  • if you are in deportation or removal proceedings and file an application directly with USCIS in Bloomington, it may or may not be accepted, depending on whether that office is accepting that particular application at this time.
  • if your friend or loved one is in immigration custody in Minnesota, how is your lawyer going to visit him or her to work on the case if your lawyer’s office is in New York?

While all immigration lawyers are presumed to know the law, only an immigration lawyer in Minnesota is best suited to help with your Minnesota immigration case.
