Ways to Fight Deportation
Some reasons why people are deported include never leaving after being ordered to go, Other than criminal deportation or deportation related to a criminal conviction, there are many reasons that Homeland Security or USCIS may order deportation. For example, you may have overstayed on an expired visa, you may have agreed to leave or been ordered to leave but failed to do so, you may have been caught entering the United States fraudulently by using a fake I.D. or falsified passport. Whatever the reason, if you or your loved one is facing deportation, there may be ways we can fight it. Some ways I helped previous clients avoid deportation include:
- Waiver of deportation — Some people qualify for a waiver of deportation, but there are several factors that must be considered to determine eligibility. Together, we will discuss these factors and whether any apply to your situation.
- Asylum application — The Asylum application is filed for several different forms of relief from deportation. The most common use is to seek Asylum based on, race, religion, nationality, political opinion, and membership in a particular social group. The others forms are "withholding" and "protection under The Convention Against Torture," but again, there are specific requirements that must be met to qualify for this protection. Only a grant of your Asylum will lead to lawful permanent residency status, however, you may stay in the US and obtain employment authorization if withholding" or "protection under The Convention Against Torture" is granted.
- Dismissal of deportation proceedings — When deportation is improperly sought by DHS or the USCIS the deportation can be dismissed. Often the initial entry was in fact legal and the non-citizen should be allowed to stay.
Help With The Appeals Process: Working Your Case Through The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
If deportation is ordered by the immigration judge, all is not lost. You have an opportunity to appeal the case to the Board of Immigration Appeals and the 11th Circuit. Having a lawyer to guide the appeal process will help you identify the legal reasons you should not be deported and improve your chances of defeating deportation and remaining in the United States.
