Deportation Defense
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can place non‑U.S. citizens, including lawful permanent residents, into removal (deportation) proceedings in Immigration Court. Proceedings begin when DHS issues a Notice to Appear (NTA), which lists the charges and requires the person to appear before an Immigration Judge. Common allegations include entering without inspection, overstaying a visa, or certain criminal convictions.
In Immigration Court, you have the right to challenge DHS’s allegations and apply for relief that may allow you to stay in the United States. Possible forms of relief include:
Adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident (green card), often through a qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR relative
Asylum or related protection if you fear persecution in your home country
Cancellation of removal (for certain LPRs and non‑LPRs who meet strict requirements)
Waivers that can restore or help obtain lawful permanent resident status
Eligibility for relief is highly fact‑specific and depends on your immigration history, family ties, time in the United States, and any criminal record.
