Top Reasons You May Receive A Deportation/removal Notice

The government can use many reasons to order you deported (action commenced prior to April 1, 1997) or removed (action commenced after April 1, 1997) from the United States. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can deport anyone who is not a U.S. citizen and the ones who are legal permanent residents. Hearings are held at immigration courts, which are located in most major cities throughout the U.S.

The reasons that a person may be placed in removal proceedings are for having committed certain types of crime, marriage fraud, or a previous history of immigration problems, such as denied applications, document fraud, and unlawful presence. Your visa application could be denied unless you can demonstrate to immigration officers that a significant hardship will result for you and your family. Most of the grounds fall into three categories.

Committing a Crime

One of the most common reasons for deportation is a criminal conviction for certain types of crimes, such as aggravated felony, domestic violence, or a crime of moral turpitude (CMT) committed within five years of admission, if the prison sentence was for at least one year or two CMTs which did not arise out of a single scheme of criminal conduct. If you are not a citizen, it’s unlikely that you’ll be released from prison at the end of your sentence, since ICE has the authority to put a hold on your release. It is possible to remain in prison until the immigration judge decides your case.

Bad Behavior

Conduct-based grounds of Removal include things like drug or alcohol addiction and minor misdemeanors, such as disturbing the peace. You will have the opportunity, while in removal, to present witnesses who will attest to your good character, despite some instances of human error.

Deficient Paperwork, Unlawful Entry, or Fraud and Misrepresentation

The most common reason a person can be deported is for entering the country unlawfully or violating the terms of their visas after entering the U.S. legally. Entering unlawfully include entering without inspection, such as by stowing away on a ship or crossing a border or using fake documents to gain entry into the U.S.

Another common reason for deportation includes errors with or violations for document fraud, marriage fraud or obtaining a green card through fraud or misrepresentation. Failing to renew your green card or visa, falsely claiming to be a United States citizen, or helping to smuggle other aliens into the U.S. can lead ICE to start removal proceedings. It’s important to know why you are being deported so you and your lawyer can work together on the best defense for your case.

The Deportation/removal Process And Forms Of Relief

The deportation or removal process starts with a Notice to Appear (NTA). This will document all of the reasons the government has for your deportation. Once you’ve received an NTA, you’ll be required to appear in immigration court. The first hearing will be a master calendar hearinAt this time, the charges against you will be read and you’ll have an opportunity to respond with a request for relief from removal or deportation or an extension of time. In some cases, you may be placed under arrest and held in detention, though there is a possibility to apply for a bond in order to be released until the next hearing.

At the Law Office of Diron E. Rutty, we assist clients in seeking remedies involving waivers and relief from removal, including the following:

Adjustment to Permanent Resident Status:
Cancellation of Removal:
Withholding of Removal:
Political Asylum:
Waiver of Inadmissibility:
Temporary Protected Status (TPS):

Adjustment to Permanent Resident Status:

Non-immigrants who qualify can apply for adjustment of status while in deportation.

Cancellation of Removal:

Exist for certain permanent resident and non-immigrant. Certain permanent residents subject to removal may qualify for cancellation or a waiver if they have been present in the United States for at least seven continuous years, have had lawful permanent resident status for at least five years, and have never been convicted of an aggravated felony. Permanent residents and non-LPRs may also be able to avoid deportation by demonstrating that it would cause exceptional hardship to their immediate family members who are U.S. citizens or LPRs.

Withholding of Removal:

To be eligible, a person must show that – more likely than not – their life or liberty would be threatened based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a specific social group, or political belief upon their return to the intended country of removal. An order granting Withholding of Removal stops the removal process.

Political Asylum:

Individuals who face a well-founded fear of persecution based on their religion, political opinion, membership of a social group, or a number of other factors may apply for asylum status.

Waiver of Inadmissibility:

For Alien Smuggling and for fraud and misrepresentation of a material fact at the time of admission may be given for aliens who meet the requirements.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS):

Nationals of certain designated countries who have been deemed deportable may be allowed temporarily to stay in the United States until conditions in their home countries improve. Deportation may continue, once TPS is lifted.

If you’ve been ordered to leave the country after your deportation hearing, you may be able to remain in the United States during the appeal process. Speaking to an immigration lawyer can make you aware of your rights and the next potential steps to achieving a positive outcome for your case.
