When Does A Person Face Deportation?

There are specific reasons that the government initiates deportation proceedings. If you face criminal allegations or violate the terms of your visa, for instance by overstaying your visa, the Department of Homeland Security may choose to begin an investigation. Rest assured that they cannot just decide to deport you or do so because someone threatens to get you deported. Our attorneys ensure that they follow appropriate protocol for every investigation.

The Next Step Is A Notice To Appear

After a person is arrested or undergoes an investigation, a removal proceeding is scheduled to determine whether he or she will be deported. The immigrant receives a “Notice to Appear” (NTA) from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of the federal government’s Department of Homeland Security. This begins the formal legal process with the courts.

Understanding Removal Proceedings

Asylum protections include both the legal status that allows you to remain in the United States as well as access to a wide network of social support systems that can help you adjust to life here. This can include substantial help with housing, education, work training and more.
