The Deng Law Firm believes in protecting the rights of individuals and families caught in immigration enforcement proceedings. Our experienced attorneys understand the nuances of deportation law and are committed to providing vigorous defense strategies tailored to your unique situation.
The Deportation Process
Deportation, officially known as removal, is a legal process that allows the US government to expel non-citizens who violate immigration laws. Understanding the deportation process is crucial for building an effective defense strategy:
- Initiation: Deportation proceedings usually begin with a Notice to Appear (NTA) served by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
- Master Calendar Hearing: The first court hearing, where the judge sets the schedule and deadlines for the case.
- Individual Hearing: During this hearing, evidence and arguments are presented to determine the eligibility for relief from deportation.
- Appeals: If the immigration judge orders deportation, there may be options for appeal.
Readmission: Returning to the US
For individuals who have been previously deported, it is important to understand the options available for readmission:
- Reentry after Physical Removal: In some cases, individuals may be eligible to reenter the US after a certain period following physical removal.
- Waivers of Inadmissibility: Certain waivers may be available for individuals who have been found inadmissible due to certain grounds, such as criminal convictions.
- Other Relief: The Deng Law Firm can explore various forms of relief, including asylum, cancellation of removal, and adjustment of status, based on your specific circumstances.
Permanent Residence: Achieving Your Goals
Obtaining permanent residence, also known as getting a green card, is often the ultimate goal for individuals navigating the US immigration system. The Deng Law Firm can assist you in understanding the multiple pathways to permanent residence:
- Family-Based Immigration: If you have a close family member who is a US citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible for family-sponsored immigration.
- Employment-Based Immigration: Depending on your qualifications and job offer, employment-based immigration might be a feasible option.
- Investment-Based Immigration: Through investment in the US, you may be eligible for an immigrant visa.
- Humanitarian Programs: Special programs exist for individuals seeking refuge, such as asylum, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
