The BEST immigration lawyer in Michigan

You can't find a more patient, knowledgeable and informative immigration lawyer. Mr. Mirque thought out of the box and helped where many other lawyers could not. He had expertise in the tedious immigration visas that only caused me headaches before. In less than a week having consulted with him, m...y husband was approved for a visa. Mr. Mirque is definitely on your side and can navigate the visa process from stat to finish. Whether it is is B2, I130, green card or any other immigration needs for your loved family member to come to the USA.... he is your immigration lawyer. HIGHLY recommended!

DO NOT USE-NEVER APPLIED FOR CITIZENSHIP

Rob supposedly applied for my husband’s US citizenship 4 years ago and we are still waiting. Have gotten no response except for when we requested a copy of his file he gave us a bill for $3,000 for back charges and another $3,000 bill for copy charges before he would give us the file. The file didn’t... include a receipt number which you need to check on your application. He won’t return calls, emails, texts, notes, and is never in his “office”. This has now set our family back 4 years & caused a TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF STRESS FOR EVERYONE including jeopardizing my husbands job on multiple occasions. He won’t even respond to our new immigration lawyer who has sent letters, called etc. Why would you do this to our family?????? There is no sign of any application in the USCIS system. Also when my husband tried to renew his green card which was sent to our old address and thrown out by the new owner, Rob told him to reapply not use the I-90 form for lost or stolen cards so they denied that and he has to reapply for that as well. Mistakes, horrible communication, and treated my family like he couldn’t be bothered. I don’t understand how he doesn’t have more bad reviews, but I have seen the others online as well, and their story is very similar to ours. We have had enough, we will have to resort to solving this legally.

An excellent lawyer and a lovely person!

I was looking for a competent and knowledgable lawyer to help me put together the adjustment of status (green card) application for my husband, and I am so glad that I found Robert Mirque! He clearly has extensive experience in immigration law and knows the ins and outs of all of the many forms that ...one has to file in this confusing process! We just had one consultation so far, but I am looking forward to working with him going forward. He was very generous with his time and answered all of my questions in an extremely thorough manner. He patiently explained to me the background and logic behind the various steps that we will be working through, so that I could have a strong understanding of how to navigate the process. He helped me to understand what parts of the application matter most so I know where to focus my time and energy. He also warned me regarding what to watch out for down the line so I know what to think about in advance. I feel very confidant that Robert Marque will help us to make this process as smooth and comprehensible as possible.

I-751 request for evidence help

Robert is a fantastic immigration lawyer. We asked him to help us when we received a request for evidence regarding our I-751 petition to Remove Conditions of Residence. This was a bit stressful, but Robert was great at explaining everything that we needed to collect and how to put it all together pr...operly for submission. He was very kind and is very knowledgeable. My husband and I highly recommend him!
