Deportation and Removal
If the Department of Homeland Security is seeking to remove you because of immigration infractions or criminal matters, there are several avenues you may wish to pursue to remain in the United States. Even if a judge orders your removal/deportation, you still have options. Some of those include:
- Voluntary departure – You leave the country voluntarily
- Cancellation of removal – you may petition the government to cancel your removal order in certain circumstances
- Asylum – In some instances, you may argue that returning to your home country would place you in serious danger
- Adjustment of status – You may work to obtain permanent legal status or some other immigration status that will stop your removal
- Motion to reopen or reconsider – If you discover new information, not heard initially, you can petition the court to revisit your case.
Exclusion
Exclusion occurs when you are prohibited from entering the United State at the border. You may have a remedy around exclusion. We will direct you to the U.S. Consulate to go through consular processing for a valid visa.
If you face removal or exclusion, contact the law offices of Bilfield & Associates to schedule an initial, 100% confidential, consultation.
