Deportation Defense

Deportation is simply the term for when the U.S. Government orders a non-citizen removed from the country. It is also called “simple removal”. A deportation order could be the result of several factors. It could be the consequence of violating immigration laws, such as entering the country illegally or from criminal convictions. Once deported, a person can lose their rights to ever enter the U.S. again; however, because deportation is a legal process, deportee’s have certain rights under the law. Those rights normally have to be exercised prior to being removed from the country. Once you leave, you have very few options. One of the most important rights that can be lost is the right to challenge the deportation in court.

Any immigrants who have violated the Immigration and Nationality Act can be deported. Violations can include but are not limited to:

U.S. Citizenship & Naturalization

The process of naturalization is the system that is used to make a person a U.S. citizen. In the majority of cases, a lawful permanent resident who has had a green card for 5 years may apply to become a U.S. citizen. You should always consult an experienced immigration attorney before applying for naturalization, to ensure that you fully understand the procedures, to avoid any obstacles and to be sure that the application process goes smoothly and gets successfully granted.
