Defenses Against Deportation
Even at the threat of deportation, you have defense options. Below are some of the most common that our Landover deportation defense lawyer helps clients pursue.
Defenses against deportation include:
- Cancellation of removal: This defense is available regardless of whether you have a green card. To secure it, you must prove your continuous residence in the US, good moral character, and the hardship removal would cause.
- Asylum: You can seek asylum if you face persecution in your home country because of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or association with a social group.
- Adjustment of status: If you are married or related to a US citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be able to change your legal status to avoid deportation.
- Withholding of Removal: This defense is similar to asylum but has more strict eligibility requirements. If you cannot receive asylum, withholding of removal could be an option.
- CAT Relief: The Convention Against Torture (CAT) may allow you to remain in the US if you would be subject to torture in your home country.
- VAWA: The US’s Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides protections for survivors of abuse. You could avoid deportation under the VAWA if you have lived in the US for 3+ years and experienced abuse.
- Voluntary departure: While you will not stay in the US for this option, voluntarily leaving the country may allow you to attempt to immigrate to the US in the future. Additionally, voluntary departure gives you more time to handle important matters and prepare to move out of the country.
- Removal of condition of green card
Why Does the US Deport People?
The US may deport people for violating immigration law.
Generally, these violations fall into three categories:
- Failing to adhere to the terms of a visa
- Posing risks to public safety
- Committing a criminal offense
Understanding Deportation Proceedings
Deportation, also known as removal, occurs when the U.S. government seeks to expel a non-citizen from the country due to alleged violations of immigration laws. These proceedings are initiated when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issues a Notice to Appear (NTA) in Immigration Court.
Common reasons for deportation include:
- Criminal Convictions: Certain offenses, such as drug trafficking, theft, or domestic violence, can lead to removal.
- Visa Violations: Overstaying a visa or failing to comply with its terms.
- Unauthorized Presence: Entering or remaining in the U.S. without lawful documentation.
- Fraudulent Applications: Submitting false information during the immigration process.
- National Security Concerns: Allegations of terrorism or activities that threaten public safety.
If you or a loved one has received an NTA, it’s essential to consult with an experienced deportation defense attorney immediately. Time is of the essence in building a strong defense.
