Call
immigration counsel immediately in the event that you or a family
member has been detained by ICE or placed in removal proceedings
after receiving a Notice to Appear in immigration court. It is important
to act quickly because your relative may be subject to expedited
removal or persuaded to waive his or her right to see an immigration
judge.
If
you or your relative has been detained or is in removal proceedings,
do not give up hope. There is the possibility that you, he, or she
may qualify for one or more forms of relief from deportation, including:
-
Dismissal of charges of inadmissibility or deportability
- Non-LPR
cancellation of removal
- LPR
cancellation of removal
- Adjustment
or re-adjustment of Status
- Filing
of a waiver for grounds of inadmissibility or deportability
- Filing
for a U visa
- Filing
for asylum or protection under the Convention Against Torture
It
is important to choose an immigration law firm or lawyer that has
experience with removal defense. This is a substantial area of practice
and experience for the Immigrants First, PLLC. We look forward to
exploring all possible options and strategizing the best defense on
your or a relatives behalf to stay in the United States and
legalize status. |
