Introduction

Types of Removal Defense

REPRESENTATION AT DEPORTATION HEARINGS

We can represent your case or petition at any US Courthouse in the United States.

CANCELLATION OF REMOVAL

Cancellation of removal is a form of immigration relief available to individuals who have been placed in removal proceedings before the United States Executive Office for Immigration Review.

ASYLUM

Asylum is the legal protection afforded by the United States government to a person who can demonstrate a “well-founded fear of persecution” based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

STAY OF REMOVAL

A Stay Of Removal is a temporary postponement, which prevents the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from carrying out an order of removal.

APPEALS TO THE BOARD OF IMMIGRATION APPEALS

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) reviews the decisions of the U.S. immigration courts, some decisions of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and immigration violation arrests by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. We can offer representation on your behalf to appeal decisions made by the Board of Immigration Appeals.

WAIVERS

Waivers allow certain individuals who are family members of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs), and who are statutorily eligible for immigrant visas, to more easily navigate the immigration process. The provisional waiver process promotes family unity by reducing the time that eligible individuals are separated from their family members while they complete immigration processing abroad, while also improving administrative efficiency.

U-VISA

A U-Visa is a United States nonimmigrant visa which is set aside for victims of crimes (and their immediate family members) who have suffered substantial mental or physical abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement and government officials in the investigation or prosecution of the criminal activity.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT (VAWA)

The VAWA is a means for battered and abused spouses (and certain parents and children) to obtain a green card without the cooperation of the U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative who is abusing them.

SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE (SIJS)

Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) (sometimes also written as Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) Status) is a special way for minors currently in the United States to adjust status to that of Lawful Permanent Resident despite unauthorized entry or unlawful presence in the United States, that might usually make them inadmissible to the United States and create bars to Adjustment of Status.

MOTIONS TO REOPEN

A motion to reopen allows immigrants who have lost their case in immigration court to submit new or modified facts to an immigration judge. If a motion to reopen is granted, the new facts to be proven at a hearing must be supported by affidavits or other exhibits.
