Immigration Lawyers in York County, PA

Federal Court Capability & Full-Range Immigration Representation

When immigration cases reach the point of emergency stays, federal injunctions, or Third Circuit appeals, many firms refer clients elsewhere. Henry & Grogan handles those cases directly. Founding partner Michael S. Henry has been practicing law since 1987 and has successfully overturned state regulations through appellate advocacy. His cases continue to be cited in state and federal courts. Partner Devin E. Grogan, an American Immigration Lawyers Association member, has obtained emergency injunctions in federal court to prevent deportation and has personally attended hundreds of USCIS interviews on behalf of clients. Together, they represent individuals, families, and employers before USCIS and immigration courts throughout the country.

Both partners are Temple University Law School graduates admitted in Pennsylvania and before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Free initial consultations are available, and the firm provides effective representation at affordable rates because cost shouldn’t prevent anyone from getting capable immigration help.

If you or a family member is facing a deportation order, visa denial, or detention in York County, don’t wait to get legal help. Call Henry & Grogan at (215) 568-1500 to schedule your free consultation.

Immigration Services for York County Clients

Henry & Grogan handles the full range of immigration matters. Here’s what that looks like in practice across the areas York County residents and employers need most.

Family Immigration in York County

Separation from family is one of the hardest experiences immigrants face, and the petition process has real consequences when it goes wrong. We handle family-based immigration for U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are bringing spouses, parents, children, and siblings to the United States. 

Our work covers:

• Spousal visas and marriage-based green cards
• Fiancé(e) visas
• Petitions for parents, children, and siblings
• Adjustment of status applications
• Consular processing

Employment-Based Immigration in York County

We advise employers and foreign national employees on the full range of employment-based visas and green cards. Our work includes H-1B visas for specialty occupations (including medical residents), L-1 intracompany transferee visas, O-1 extraordinary ability visas, PERM labor certification, and EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 green card petitions. We represent hospitals and companies seeking H-1B approvals for medical staff. We also advise employers on structuring remote and hybrid work arrangements for foreign national employees in compliance with immigration law. This is an increasingly common need that carries real risk when handled incorrectly.

When applications stall because of processing backlogs or erroneous denials, we file mandamus actions in federal court to seek action from USCIS or other agencies. That option is available to our clients when the standard process fails.

Asylum Cases in York County

Asylum law is unforgiving at the procedural level, and a poorly prepared application or interview can end a viable claim. 

We represent individuals fleeing persecution through every stage of the process in their asylum cases:

• Preparing and filing asylum applications
• Representing clients at asylum interviews
• Appealing denied asylum claims
• Assisting with derivative asylum for family members

We work to build complete evidentiary records and prepare clients thoroughly before they appear before immigration officers or judges. If a claim is denied, we know the appellate path, including the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

Immigration Appeals in York County

An unfavorable decision from USCIS or an immigration judge isn’t necessarily the end of a case. We argue the appeals process at multiple levels: the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Administrative Appeals Office, and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The firm has obtained dismissals, reversals, and emergency stays of deportation on behalf of clients. Michael Henry’s appellate work has produced decisions that are still cited in state and federal courts today. When the stakes require it, we know how to litigate at the appellate level.

Deportation Defense in York County

A notice to appear in removal proceedings demands an immediate legal response. 

Our deportation defense strategies are built around the full set of available defenses:

• Representation in removal proceedings
• Cancellation of removal applications
• Waivers of inadmissibility
• Voluntary departure when appropriate
• Prosecutorial discretion
• DACA renewals

Devin E. Grogan has secured emergency injunctions in federal court to halt deportations that were already in motion. That’s not a routine capability. It requires federal litigation experience.

ICE Enforcement & Detention Defense in York County

ICE apprehensions in York County have increased sharply in recent years. For families in this region, the threat of detention and rapid removal is real and immediate.

We assist families in securing the release of detained immigrants through immigration bond hearings and habeas corpus petitions in federal court. Our detention cases practice covers bond hearings, credible and reasonable fear interviews, and representation throughout removal proceedings. When a detained client can’t easily communicate with their family, we maintain communication on both sides to keep everyone informed. 

If someone you love has been detained, call (215) 568-1500 immediately.

What Sets Henry & Grogan Apart in York County

Immigration attorneys aren’t hard to find. An immigration firm with a federal appellate record, documented emergency relief experience, and USCIS interview attendance in the hundreds is less common. 

Here’s what’s concrete about what we bring:

• Appellate Record That Gets Cited: Michael S. Henry has overturned state regulations through appellate advocacy, and his cases continue to be cited in both state and federal courts today. This record reflects decades of serious litigation work in immigration law.
• Emergency Federal Injunctions: Devin E. Grogan has obtained emergency injunctions in federal court to prevent deportation. This requires knowing federal procedure and acting under deadline pressure.
• Hundreds of USCIS Interviews Attended: Our team has attended numerous USCIS interviews alongside clients. The preparation insight that comes from direct interview experience shapes how clients prepare when it matters.
• Special Immigrant Juvenile Practice: Our attorneys have developed a distinct practice representing juveniles in state court custody and guardianship proceedings to secure Special Immigrant Juvenile status. This niche requires fluency in both immigration and family law.
• Mandamus Actions in Federal Court: When USCIS processing stalls without legal justification, we file mandamus actions to seek a decision. Clients shouldn’t have to wait indefinitely because of administrative inaction.
• Free Consultations and Affordable Rates: We offer free initial consultations and represent clients at affordable rates. Quality immigration representation should be within reach for York County families and employers, regardless of budget.
