Deportation, or the removal of an individual from the U.S., can tear apart families and irrevocably alter the lives of loved ones. If you or a loved one is undergoing removal proceedings, you only have a short window of time to create a comprehensive strategy for remaining in the U.S. and fighting the deportation order.
Causes For Deportation
Deportation is usually ordered by an immigration judge when the alien has been found to have violated immigration law, such as:
- Being an inadmissible alien
- Violating nonimmigrant status such as unlawfully working
- Committing a crime on U.S. soil
How To Stop Deportation Proceedings
If you or a loved one have been given a notice to appear before court and suspect that you may be at risk for deportation or removal, contacting an attorney should be your first priority. At The Law Office of Jillian Yanes, P.A., we fight diligently and aggressively on behalf of our clients to ensure that all steps are taken to prevent deportation.The important thing to note is that receiving a deportation order is not necessarily final outcome. You have options and strategies at your disposal.
As deportation orders can result because of different underlying causes, strategies for fighting the order should be crafted on a case-by-case basis. For example, your options for fighting a deportation order may include filing a family-based petition, seeking asylum, prosecutorial discretion or other deportation deferments.
Too often, people will run afoul of the law and take a plea deal to get out of trouble and resume their lives, without knowing the impact the deal could have on their immigration status. Many times, these pleas could cause people to be deported from the United States. An experienced lawyer with knowledge of both immigration law and criminal defense could be the only thing that is preventing your removal from the U.S.
