What is Deportation?

First of all, you could be wondering what you are actually facing if you are facing deportation. Basically, deportation refers to the removal of someone from the United States when that person is not here legally.

Deportation happens to people in various scenarios. For example, if you came to the United States on a visa but overstayed that visa, you could be facing deportation. If you violated criminal laws in the United States, then you might also be facing deportation. There are actually many things that people who are in the United States illegally can be deported for.

Legal Scenario: What Would You Do?

Scenario

You received a Notice to Appear from ICE after a routine traffic stop in the Bronx, and your hearing before an immigration judge is scheduled in just three weeks. You have lived in the United States for over twelve years, have three U.S.-born children, and have no criminal record, but you never obtained legal immigration status.

Is there any way to fight my deportation case and stay in the country with my family?

Attorney's Answer

There are several forms of relief that may apply in your situation. Under INA § 240A(b), you may qualify for cancellation of removal for non-permanent residents if you can demonstrate at least ten years of continuous physical presence, good moral character, and that your removal would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to your U.S. citizen children. Additionally, depending on your circumstances, you could be eligible for asylum, adjustment of status through a qualifying family member, or prosecutorial discretion under current enforcement priorities. An experienced Bronx deportation lawyer can evaluate the specific facts of your case, gather supporting evidence of your community ties and your children's dependence on you, and present the strongest possible defense before the immigration judge.
