Deportation Defense in Florida
If you or a family member is facing deportation or planning on requesting asylum, you need to call our office immediately!
The Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) is a complicated area of immigration work that only an experienced attorney can help with.
Many people do not realize that a United States lawful permanent resident can be deported or loss their residency status if the resident does not follow the law. Some of these reasons include:
- Committing certain crimes, even something minor for which adjudication/guilt was withheld
- Taking a job abroad or being outside the United States for too long
- Helping a person enter the United States illegally, even if it is a relative
- Lying to the government during the permanent residency process, which is often discovered during the naturalization process
Undocumented immigrants can be deported, too. Every year many people are deported from the United States back to their home country, even those that have United States citizen children. Some of the reasons that undocumented people are deported from the United States include:
- Not having a valid visa or entering the United States without permission
- Overstaying a visa
- Committing any crime
- Lying on an immigration application such as an asylum application
Deportation can have a serious impact on your life, and it is important to hire an attorney who can help you navigate the process. There are immediate procedural steps that need to be followed to defend yourself again deportation. This include filing a motion to stay with the court which will put a hold on deportation and requiring you to appear before an immigration judge to present your case as to why you should not be deported.
We have experience in deportation matters. If you are facing deportation, please call our office to defend yourself against deportation and remain in the United States.
