What Happens In Removal Proceedings? We’ll Break It Down For You
Removal proceedings might sound complicated, but we’re here to clarify your situation. Here’s what you need to know:
Notice To Appear (NTA)
This is where it all begins. You’ll receive a document explaining why the government thinks you should leave the U.S. Common reasons include visa violations or criminal charges. Don’t panic – getting an NTA doesn’t mean immediate deportation. In fact, the process often takes months or even years, giving us time to build a strong defense against removal.
Court Hearings
You’ll need to appear in immigration court. We’ll be right there with you every step of the way. There are typically two types of hearings: master calendar (initial appearance) and individual (your case presentation). During these hearings, you’ll have the chance to tell your side of the story. We’ll help you gather evidence, prepare your testimony and meet crucial deadlines.
Judge’s Decision
After hearing all the evidence, the judge will make a decision. Outcomes can include removal, voluntary departure or case termination. If it’s not in your favor, don’t lose hope. We have options, including filing an appeal within 30 days to the Board of Immigration Appeals. During this appeal process, you generally can’t be deported.
Potential Relief
An NTA doesn’t mean automatic deportation. We’ll investigate all potential relief options, such as asylum applications, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status and family-based status adjustments. Each option has specific eligibility criteria that we’ll carefully evaluate for your case.
Throughout this process, we’re working hard behind the scenes. We dig deep into your case and fight any unfair claims against you. Our goal is to keep you where you belong—right here in America.
Why You Need A Real Immigration Lawyer (Not Just Anyone)
You might hear about people who say they can help with immigration for less money. Be careful – this can be a big mistake. While choosing a cheaper option might seem cost-effective initially, it often leads to more expenses and complications due to inexperienced or unqualified representation.
