Houston Deportation Defense Lawyer
Deportation, also referred to as removal, is the process where the U.S. federal government removes a non-citizen from the country. The deportation process is a legal process and those who are subject to being deported are afforded certain legal rights, including the right to challenge the deportation on specific grounds. If you have received a Notice to Appear (NTA) issued by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), you should contact me as soon as possible.
Once you receive an NTA, a hearing will be conducted where an immigration judge will determine whether you should be deported. It is in your best interests to have legal representation at the hearing which I can provide as a Houston deportation defense attorney. If the judge rules against you, you will then have 30 days to submit an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). If the BIA rules against you, you can further appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals. Throughout any deportation process, I will work diligently on your behalf to protect your legal rights and help you achieve a favorable result.
Reasons for Deportation
Deportation may occur for a number of reasons, most usually after immigration laws or criminal laws have been violated. Once deported, you may lose the right to ever return to the United States again, even as a visitor.
You may be deported from the U.S. if one of the following applies to you, including:
- Residing in this country illegally;
- Being an inadmissible alien
- Violating nonimmigrant status or any condition of entry;
- Aiding others in illegal entry;
- Falsifying documents related to your entry;
- Committing marriage fraud for immigration purposes;
- Having been convicted of certain crimes; and
- Taking part in any activities which threaten public safety or the national security.
