Immigration Help in Denver, Colorado
Immigration is federal law, so the agencies handling your case in Denver are national ones — USCIS for benefits like green cards and citizenship, and the immigration court (EOIR) for removal proceedings. Here's where those offices are for the Denver metro, plus how to get matched with a local immigration attorney.

Immigration is federal law and policy changes frequently. This is general information, not legal advice — for your specific case, talk to a qualified immigration attorney or an accredited nonprofit.
The Denver metro is Colorado’s immigration hub, and it has a couple of quirks worth knowing. Two different federal systems may be involved in your case:
- USCIS handles benefits — applications like a green card, citizenship and naturalization, and green card renewal. The field office that serves Denver is actually in Centennial.
- The immigration court (EOIR) handles removal (deportation) proceedings and applications for relief such as asylum. If someone is detained, immigration bonds may be in play.
Because the metro has two immigration courts — the downtown Denver court for non-detained cases and the Aurora court inside a detention facility — always check your Notice to Appear for the correct location. To get matched with a Denver immigration attorney, connect with a lawyer.
Federal immigration offices serving Denver
USCIS field office: The Denver Field Office handles in-person USCIS matters such as green card and naturalization interviews — but it's physically located in Centennial, a suburb southeast of Denver, not in the city itself.
Immigration court (EOIR): The Denver Immigration Court (in Denver) hears non-detained removal cases; a separate Aurora Immigration Court sits inside an ICE detention facility in Aurora and hears the detained docket.
Two things commonly confuse people here: the 'Denver' USCIS field office is actually in Centennial, and the metro has two immigration courts — the downtown Denver court and the Aurora court inside a detention center.
Always confirm the current office, hours, and procedures on the official USCIS and EOIR sites before you go — see the sources at the bottom of this page.
