Frequently Asked Questions
What vaccines are required for U.S. immigration to Michigan?
Vaccine rules for immigration are set at the federal level by USCIS and the CDC, so Michigan follows the exact same nationwide requirements. Depending on age and medical history, applicants must show vaccination for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tetanus diphtheria pertussis, varicella, Haemophilus influenzae type b (for children), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus (for infants), meningococcal, pneumococcal, and seasonal influenza.
Are immigration laws different in Michigan compared to other states?
Immigration is governed by federal law, which means the rules are the same in Michigan as in every other state. No matter where you live, the visa, green card, and citizenship processes remain uniform — but having a Michigan-based attorney gives you guidance from someone familiar with local procedures and resources.
What should I look for when choosing an immigration attorney in Michigan?
Look for an immigration attorney with experience handling the specific type of case you have (family, employment, investor, etc.), a proven track record, and a strong understanding of federal immigration law. Effective communication, responsiveness, and transparent fees are also important factors when selecting the right attorney to guide you through the process.
What is the difference between an immigrant visa and a non-immigrant visa?
An immigrant visa allows a person to live in the United States permanently (leading to a green card), whereas a non-immigrant visa is for a temporary stay in the U.S. (for purposes such as work, study, or tourism). For example, marriage-based or employer-sponsored green cards are immigrant visas, while student visas and work visas like the H-1B are non-immigrant. Our attorneys help Michigan clients determine which visa category best fits their situation and guide them through the application process.
What happens if my immigration application is denied?
If your application is denied, you will receive a notice explaining the reason. Depending on the case, you may have the option to file a motion to reopen or reconsider the decision, or to appeal it — but strict deadlines apply. An experienced immigration lawyer can review the denial and help address the issues, guiding Michigan clients on whether to reapply with stronger evidence or challenge the decision through the appropriate legal channels.
How should I prepare for my immigration interview?
To prepare for an immigration interview (such as a green card or naturalization interview), review all the information in your application, organize originals and copies of your important documents, and be ready to answer detailed questions about your background and case. It’s often helpful to practice with your attorney beforehand so you know what kinds of questions to expect. Our immigration lawyers provide clients with checklists of documents to bring and conduct mock interview practice, helping you feel confident and prepared on the day of your interview.
