Removal Defense

When the Ability to Remain in the United States Is at Stake

Removal proceedings can have serious consequences. A person may be dealing with a Notice to Appear, a hearing before an immigration judge, a prior order, a detention issue, or questions about a possible form of relief.

Matters We Discuss

• Removal and deportation proceedings
• Notices to Appear and immigration-court process
• Possible defenses or relief
• Prior removal orders and immigration history
• Appeals-related questions
• Immigration issues that may affect a pending case

Do Not Ignore Deadlines or Hearing Notices

Immigration-court matters can involve deadlines and scheduled hearings. Anyone facing a hearing or order should seek legal guidance promptly and preserve all notices and prior filings.

The available defense or relief depends on the person’s specific immigration history, current circumstances, and the law that applies at the time.
