Anna Stenson

Anna Stenson is a Fargo, North Dakota, attorney who practices immigration law through Immigration Law Professionals PC. Her work focuses on immigration questions that affect individuals and families, including family-based immigration matters. She also advises criminal defense attorneys about how criminal convictions can affect a noncitizen’s immigration status. Her practice therefore connects immigration procedures with decisions made in other legal proceedings. She has served immigration clients in the region for more than two decades.

Anna graduated from Minnesota State University Moorhead and completed her law studies at the University of North Dakota School of Law in 2001, graduating with distinction. She subsequently clerked for Judge Myron H. Bright of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Her legal education and appellate clerkship provided experience in research, written legal analysis, and the judicial process. She was admitted to practice in North Dakota in October 2001.

Anna has worked on family-based immigration matters and advised lawyers on the immigration consequences of criminal convictions. Her earlier immigration work included naturalization, asylum, deportation defense, and immigration petitions. She has addressed immigration law in public settings, including testimony before North Dakota legislators in 2025. In those remarks, she distinguished her family-focused practice from employment-based immigration and employer I-9 compliance work.

Anna Stenson maintains an active North Dakota law license. Her professional work reflects the importance of understanding both immigration rules and the effects that a separate criminal matter can have on a client’s status. Her experience includes immigration representation, legal guidance to other attorneys, and public discussion of immigration law. By concentrating on immigration issues, she helps clients and fellow lawyers recognize legal consequences that may extend beyond an immediate court proceeding.
