Yes, partly.
Qualitative Info

There are migrants' advisory bodies established by law. This is true for most of the Federal States that have established Foreigners Advisory Councils in their local constitution (e.g. Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia).

There is no federal law establishing migrants’ consultative/advisory/representative bodies.
