Violating Immigration Laws

When a noncitizen violates the immigration laws of the United States, they are at risk for deportation. Common examples include:

• Attempting to cross a U.S. border without the proper documentation
• Attempting to enter the U.S. with forged documents
• Overstaying the time allowed on a visa
• Violating a visa by working without authorization
• Committing a crime

If a noncitizen commits a crime, threatens public safety or violates their visa by staying in the country past the permitted timeframe, under federal laws, the U.S. may detain and remove (or deport) that noncitizen. Law enforcement officers from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, under the Department of Homeland Security, may detain anyone believed to be in violation of U.S. immigration laws, or involved with illegal goods and human trafficking.

Removal Proceedings

The removal process begins with a Notice to Appear, which provides notice to the noncitizen and the reasons or violations that resulted in an action for removal. Usually, the noncitizen is subject to detention during the entire process of removal, but in some cases, may be able to secure a bond for release. A noncitizen will be scheduled for a hearing. An immigration judge will consider each case and will decide if the noncitizen is allowed to remain in the country. The judge may also decide that the noncitizen should be removed or deported and issue an order of removal. Detainees and noncitizens are allowed to hire an attorney to represent them. Hiring an immigration attorney who is experienced with deportation proceedings and the removal process can help give a foreign national a better chance for a favorable outcome at a removal hearing.

Appealing An Order For Removal

When an immigration judge issues an order for removal, the noncitizen can appeal that decision. An appeal must be filed within a very strict time period (30 days) from the date of the order. An experienced immigration lawyer will be able to help a noncitizen file an appeal and having legal representation will give a noncitizen a better chance of successfully appealing an order for removal.

Frequently Asked Questions On Deportation And Removal Proceedings

If you’re facing the threat of deportation, you may have pressing questions. Below are some frequently asked questions on deportation and removal. As every situation is different, we encourage you to contact our law office with your specific questions.

How do I check my deportation status in Ohio?

You can check your case status online, using the government’s Automated Case Information System. This will require you to submit your A-number, which is an 8- or 9-digit number printed on all correspondence from the DHS or Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).

What are common defense strategies against deportation and removal?

The defense strategy your immigration lawyers uses will depend on the reasons for the deportation or removal. Examples include:

• Adjustment of status: For instance, if the deportation stems from overstaying a visa, you may be able to seek a green card and adjust your status to avoid deportation.
• Applying for asylum: If you can prove that it would be unsafe to return to your home country due to persecution and other such factors, you may be eligible for asylum, which could prevent deportation.
• VAWA: For those who have been victimized by domestic violence, one potential way to obtain a green card is by using the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
• Contesting moral turpitude: When deportation is a result of criminal convictions, you may be able to assert that a minor crime was not an offense of moral turpitude and doesn’t warrant deportation.

Our attorneys can help you explore all of the options available to you.

What steps should I take after receiving a deportation notice?

One of the most important steps is to contact an immigration attorney immediately so that you can begin exploring your options. You need to read over the documentation, such as the Notice to Appear (NTA) for deportation. You may then need to gather any documents to support your case or your defense and attend all hearings that the court sets up.
