Services Offered in Minneapolis
Minneapolis is home to vibrant immigrant communities, and our firm aligns our strategy with your goals while providing the full spectrum of immigration solutions. We guide clients through immigrant and non-immigrant visa applications, family-based petitions, and the naturalization process with clear steps and attentive support. We also handle consular processing for those applying from abroad and prepare waivers of inadmissibility for individuals who need an exception to overcome certain immigration barriers. Our attorneys advocate for asylum seekers and provide strong deportation or removal defense when legal disputes arise.
We assist young immigrants by pursuing Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) where applicable and help survivors of crime obtain relief through U visas or T visas, always focusing on safety and respect. When cases escalate beyond administrative proceedings, we represent clients in immigration court hearings and federal appeals to protect their rights. Employers and investors in Minneapolis rely on our team for employment-based visas and investor immigration strategies that align with their business goals. Through every step, we emphasize thorough documentation and open communication, drawing on our deep understanding of both Minnesota’s local landscape and the federal immigration system. Our goal is to help Minneapolis families, individuals, and businesses achieve their immigration objectives efficiently and effectively. If your situation presents unique challenges, we will tailor a strategy to fit your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vaccines are required for U.S. immigration to Minneapolis?
Immigration vaccine requirements are set at the federal level by USCIS and the CDC, so Minneapolis follows the exact same nationwide standards. Depending on your age and health history, you must provide proof of vaccination for measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), polio, tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis, varicella, Haemophilus influenzae type B (for children), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus (for infants), meningococcal disease, pneumococcal disease, and the seasonal flu.
Can one law firm handle both family and employment immigration issues?
Absolutely. At Siri & Glimstad, our cross-specialized team coordinates every aspect of your case so that strategy in one area supports success in others. We can seamlessly manage family-based petitions, employment visas, investor applications, and waiver requests all under one roof, ensuring that all parts of your immigration plan work together. This integrated approach means progress in one area of immigration won’t conflict with another, making your overall process smoother.
How does consular processing work for Minneapolis clients?
Consular processing is the procedure for obtaining an immigrant visa from outside the United States. It typically involves submitting your approved visa petition to the National Visa Center and then completing an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. We prepare and organize all necessary documents and guide you through each step of the consular process, whether you’re living in Minneapolis or traveling overseas for your interview. Our attorneys make sure you know what to expect and help you get ready for the visa interview so that everything goes as smoothly as possible.
What documents should I bring to my immigration medical exam?
Bring a government-issued photo ID (such as your passport or driver’s license), your vaccination records, any prior medical records related to your health, and any lab results that show immunity to required diseases. If any of these documents are not in English, you should have certified English translations for them. We provide our clients with a detailed checklist so you know exactly what to bring to your civil surgeon appointment for the Form I-693 medical exam.
