I would recommend speaking to some of the organizations on campus at MSU's law school. I'm at UC Davis, and I know our law students have some good pro-bono advice stuff that they do as outreach, so I assume MSU may have the same. I found this organization listed on the MSU Law website

Are there any specific regulations concerning "sexual deviance" in Immigration? I am a natural-born US citizen so my knowledge of immigration law is poor. The only thing I have heard is that they won't recognize heterosexual marriages in which one person is trans as a valid marriage for immigration purposes (do they recognize homosexual marriages in which one person is trans?).
The Fulbright FAQ says you can stay in the US to continue your studies or get practical training. That sounds kind of loose, have you talked to them about what specifically counts? Also, you might be able to avoid your family by not living with them or telling them where you are. It sounds horrible but it might work

Hey Tamara, I'll definitely check those two resources out too. I'm actually still in the States because I've extended my studies into graduate school, but it was with the stipulation that I return once I get my Masters (which is next May) and I've used up most of my practical training. I haven't talked to them directly as I've been advised not to, because I don't want to send off red flags that I'm trying to stay here

looks like people gave you awesome referances! Is this stuff in the memories section *hopeful look towards the moderators*
I was going to tell you that my sister is working in imigration law (not as a lawyer) and is trans friendly, but I think you'd be better off following up the referances people listed already!

they are lawyers who specialize in trans issues and are based in nyc but can give you at least a referral.
