Understanding Your Rights During Deportation Proceedings

Facing deportation can be an overwhelming experience, but it’s crucial to understand that you have rights under U.S. immigration law. At IBF Law Group, our dedicated immigration attorneys are committed to ensuring that you are aware of your rights and that they are upheld throughout the legal process. Knowing your rights can empower you and help you make informed decisions about your case.

Key rights you should be aware of include:

  • The Right to Legal Representation: You have the right to hire an attorney to represent you during your deportation hearings. Our experienced lawyers can provide the guidance you need.
  • The Right to a Hearing: You are entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge, where you can present your case and any evidence supporting your right to remain in the U.S.
  • The Right to Appeal: If you receive an unfavorable decision, you have the right to appeal the ruling, allowing you another chance to fight for your status.
  • The Right to Remain Silent: You are not obligated to answer questions from immigration officials without legal counsel present.
  • The Right to Seek Relief: Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for various forms of relief, such as asylum or cancellation of removal.

Understanding these rights is the first step in mounting an effective defense against deportation. Our team at IBF Law Group is here to provide you with the knowledge and support necessary to navigate this complex system. Don’t face this challenge alone; reach out to us for a consultation.

Deportation Defense Guide

Who Is At Risk for Removal?

Those at most risk for being deported are those who arrived in the United States without authorization or they forged documents in order to enter the country. However, there are also reasons why a lawful permanent resident might receive a notice of removal.

Some reasons why an individual may be removed:

  • Committing marriage fraud
  • Conditional permanent status was terminated
  • Violating the terms of their visa, green card, or other immigration status
  • Committing a crime of moral turpitude
  • Committing a crime and being convicted of domestic violence, child abuse or abandonment after being admitted to the U.S.

If you received a notice to appear, our lawyers at IBF Law Group are ready to be your deportation defense guides. You do not need to go through this alone! We can take a look at your situation and identify the solution that will work best for you. Only skilled attorneys who thoroughly understands how deportation works in the U.S. will be of benefit to you.

How Would Having Family In America Impact My Case For Deportation?

Having family in the U.S. can significantly impact your deportation case. Relationships with family may enable you to apply for hardship waivers or family-based petitions, which may stop the deportation process. It is essential to speak with a Phoenix deportation lawyer from IBF Law Group before making any decisions -- our attorneys can successfully navigate the legal procedure and make sure your case takes into account all available defenses and reliefs available to you.

How to Avoid Deportation With a Felony

Avoiding deportation with a felony on your record can be challenging, but there may be some strategies to consider. 

Here are some potential options based on the information found:

  • Petty Offense Exception: If the crime was a minor offense, such as petty theft or simple assault, defense counsel could argue that the offense was not serious enough to warrant deportation.
  • Cancellation of Removal: Some individuals might be eligible for a "cancellation of removal," which is a form of relief from deportation.
  • Waivers of Inadmissibility and Removal: Certain immigration violations might be waived, allowing an individual to avoid deportation.
  • Challenge the Notice to Appear: If you were not properly served with a Notice to Appear, this could be grounds for stopping deportation.
  • Rehabilitative Measures: Taking proactive steps like attending Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings or other rehabilitative programs could potentially help in some cases.
  • Legal Assistance: Engaging a competent attorney who specializes in immigration law can be crucial. They can explore possible ways to avoid deportation and guide you through the process.

Remember, each case is unique and depends on the circumstances surrounding the criminal conviction and immigration status. Always consult with a legal professional if facing potential deportation.
