Protecting Your Right to Remain in the United States
Deportation proceedings can have serious consequences for you and your family. If you have received a notice to appear in immigration court or are facing removal proceedings, it is important to seek legal representation as soon as possible.
Deportation defense may involve asylum claims, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, waivers, or other legal strategies depending on your situation.
Having an experienced immigration lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
Forms of Relief From Deportation
Facing removal does not always mean you have to leave. Depending on your history and circumstances, there may be several ways to fight your case. Common forms of relief include:
- Cancellation of removal: A way for certain long-term residents to have their removal cancelled. The requirements differ depending on whether you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) or not.
- Asylum and related protection: If you fear harm in your home country, you may be able to apply for asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under the Convention Against Torture as part of your defense.
- Adjustment of status or waivers: In some cases you may qualify for a green card or a waiver of a ground of removal, depending on your family situation and immigration history.
- Bond hearings: If you are detained, we can request a hearing to ask the judge to set a bond so you can be released while your case continues.
- Voluntary departure: In some situations, leaving voluntarily on your own terms can preserve options that a removal order would close off.
The right strategy depends entirely on the details of your case. The most important step is to speak with an attorney before your hearing.
