Many immigrants believe that once they are living in the United States, have a job, pay taxes, and raise a family here, they are safe from deportation.
Unfortunately, that is not always true.
Here are 5 common reasons people end up in deportation proceedings — and how an experienced immigration attorney can help.
1️⃣ OVERSTAYING YOUR VISA OR VIOLATING YOUR IMMIGRATION STATUS
Your visa expired, you overstayed, or you violated the terms of your admission.
How can we help? Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for adjustment of status, a waiver, another immigration benefit, or a defense against removal.
2️⃣ CRIMINAL ARRESTS OR CONVICTIONS
Even certain offenses that seem minor can have serious immigration consequences. A criminal conviction can put green card holders and other immigrants at risk of deportation.
How can we help? We can review your criminal and immigration history, evaluate possible defenses, and determine whether relief is available.
3️⃣ DENIED ASYLUM OR OTHER IMMIGRATION APPLICATIONS
An asylum denial, a missed deadline, or a failure to properly respond to an immigration notice can put you in removal proceedings.
How can we help? We can evaluate your case, identify potential legal arguments, explore appeals or motions to reopen, and represent you in immigration court when appropriate.
4️⃣ IMMIGRATION FRAUD OR MISREPRESENTATION
Providing incorrect information, using fraudulent documents, or misrepresenting facts in an immigration application can have devastating consequences.
How can we help? We can review the allegations, examine the evidence, identify legal defenses, and determine whether a waiver or other form of relief may be available.
5️⃣ MISSING IMMIGRATION COURT DATES OR IGNORING USCIS AND ICE NOTICES
This is one of the most preventable problems. Missing a court hearing can result in an order of deportation even if you have a potentially strong case.
How can we help? We can check your immigration court history, investigate whether an order was entered, and determine whether a motion to reopen or other legal remedy is possible.
⚖️ HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Having an immigration problem does NOT automatically mean you must leave the United States.
There may be legal defenses, waivers, appeals, and other forms of immigration relief available. But timing matters. Waiting too long can make your situation much harder to fix.
