What are Removal Proceedings?

Removal proceedings are the legal process that determines whether an individual should be deported or removed from the United States. Removal proceedings are initiated by a Notice to Appear (NTA) served by the US government, which requires the individual to appear before an immigration judge. The NTA contains the charges of deportability and the factual allegations against the individual. The removal process can be complex, lengthy, and stressful, but with the help of a skilled deportation defense attorney, you can maximize your chances of success.

What Are Your Defenses in Immigration Court?

In immigration court, you have several defenses that you can use to fight deportation, depending on your circumstances and eligibility. Here are some of the most common defenses:

 Cancellation of Removal 

Cancellation of removal is a form of relief that allows certain non-citizens to stay in the United States despite being removable. To be eligible for cancellation of removal, you must meet the following requirements:

You have been physically present in the US for at least 10 years;
You have been a person of good moral character during the 10-year period;
You have not been convicted of certain crimes;
Your removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to your US citizen or permanent resident spouse, parent, or child.

If you meet these requirements, your deportation defense attorney can help you apply for cancellation of removal and present your case to the immigration judge.

Asylum Relief

Asylum is a form of protection that allows individuals who have been persecuted or fear persecution in their home country to stay in the United States. To be eligible for asylum, you must meet the following requirements:

You have a well-founded fear of persecution based on your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group;
You cannot or will not return to your home country;
You apply for asylum within one year of your arrival in the US (unless you qualify for an exception).

If you qualify for asylum, your deportation defense attorney can help you file the necessary paperwork and represent you in court.

 Fraud Waiver

237(a)(1)(H) Waiver

People who were wrongfully admitted to the United States due to a misrepresentation—i.e., those who were in fact inadmissible at time of admission—may be eligible for a waiver of deportability under INA § 237(a)(1)(H). The 237(a)(1)(H) waiver is only available in removal proceedings, as a defensive form of relief; a person cannot apply for this waiver if they are not presently in proceedings. If granted, it allows a permanent resident to keep their LPR status notwithstanding the underlying fraud or misrepresentation. To qualify for a 237(a)(1)(H) waiver of deportability, the person must:

Be the spouse, parent, son, or daughter of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident;
Have been in possession of an immigrant visa or equivalent document; and
Otherwise, be admissible at the time of admission to the United States.
