10 Immigrants and newcomers

Metro Detroit

Legal aid

By appointment

Low-cost immigration legal consultations with attorneys and DOJ accredited representatives in Midtown Detroit, covering citizenship, family petitions, DACA, TPS, VAWA, U and T visas, plus English and citizenship classes.

What it is

IIMD has welcomed newcomers to Detroit since 1919 from its building next to the Detroit Institute of Arts. Its legal department offers scheduled consultations, and the Institute also runs ESL, citizenship and cultural programs.

Why it matters

Many immigrants hurt in an accident or facing a legal problem also have a pending or future immigration step. IIMD gives affordable, accredited advice so one problem does not quietly damage the other.

What to know first

Book by calling ext. 234 or using the online form; walk-ins are not seen. Bring $50 cash or check for the first visit. If you are petitioning for a spouse, both of you must attend the first consultation.

Limits and eligibility

Serves anyone with an emphasis on under-represented families; charges a $50 initial consultation and nominal fees, and does not handle employment-based immigration.

What to have ready

  • Passport, ID and any travel documents
  • All USCIS notices and prior applications
  • Birth and marriage certificates
  • Latest federal tax return for family petitions

Languages

Legal staff bilingual in Spanish, Arabic, Polish and Croatian
