There Are Ways Of Winning A Deportation Hearing With The Help Of Deportation Attorney

 Many people who are in deportatin hearings or removal hearings think that the once they are served with the Notice to Appear that there is simply no way to win and that they will be deported no matter what. I can assure you that is not the case. Minus the fact that I have been an immigration lawyer and deportation attorney for nearly 30 years and am a certified specialist in immigration and nationality law, there are many areas of the law that permit people to win a deportation hearing.




After the immigration judge determines that you are removable, then immigration judge will allow you to request what relief that you are seeking. Many times I will first determine what the possibilities are. First, we must determine whether there are asylum related grounds of relief. In essence, in deportation hearings, there are three types of asylum related hearings. That would be asylum (political asylum, religious asylum, social group, nationality, etc.) Otherwise, you could also ask for withholding of removal or convention against torture.

Another form of relief would be adjustment of status. I would have to determine as the immigration attorney if there are possibilities. Is the person married to somebody who they can adjust status? Do they have a USC child who will be turning 21? Did they have a petition filed for them many years ago and now the visa is current.




There are also employment based routes. For example, there are different employment categories for people with a couple years experience, a bachelors degree or a combination. Did an employer file a PERM for them years ago? Is the employment based visa current.

Another form of relief, although much less popular than it used to be is Registry. This is when somebody essentially has been in the U.S since the 1970’s.




I would have to determine as the California deportation lawyer what is making the person inadmissible or removable in the first place. I would determine whether they would qualify for a waiver of inadmissibility. This could be a criminal waiver, a fraud waiver, a medical waiver, an old crime waiver, a J waiver and many other types of waivers. This is basically a way to still be able to get the Green Card even though you have done something that makes you inadmissible.

Another possibility is whether you are actually a U.S. Citizen, but do not know it. This would be called aquisition of citizenship or derivation of citizenship. There are actually people in deportation hearings that are over 50 because of committing crimes and sometimes I have been able to get proceedings terminated because they were a U.S. Citizen by law and just did not know it.




As you can see in deportation hearings when the U.S. is trying to remove you, there are many forms of relief available. I did not even list all of them, but only gave you a taste of what you can look at. Thus, do not just believe an ICE official that lies to you and states you have no chance. Their job is to get you to sign the deportation papers so they can just deport you and do not have to work at doing it through the Immigration Court. Fight your case with the help of a deportation attorney as there may very well be ways of winning the removal hearing so you can stay here in the U.S. with your family.
