How Immigration Legal Advisors, PLLC Can Assist With Deportation Defense

When navigating the labyrinth of immigration law and deportation proceedings, a skilled and experienced lawyer can play a crucial role, ensuring that an immigrant's rights will be protected and advocating for solutions that will allow them to continue living in the U.S. Our legal team offers comprehensive representation in deportation cases, taking the time to understand each client's unique situation and determine the most appropriate strategies to defend against deportation. We are committed to providing compassionate representation while fighting to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Our lawyers can help determine the ideal strategies for defending against deportation, which may include:

• Cancellation of Removal: This form of legal relief may be available to certain permanent residents and non-permanent residents who meet specific criteria. A person who has had lawful permanent resident status for at least five years and has lived in the U.S. for at least seven years may qualify, as long as they have not been convicted of an aggravated felony. Non-permanent residents may be able to receive cancellation of removal if they have been present in the U.S. for a continuous period of 10 years, possess good moral character, and have not been convicted of any crimes that would make them deportable or inadmissible. They will also be required to show that deportation would cause exceptional hardship for a close family member (their child, spouse, or parent) who is a U.S. citizen. Our attorneys can help gather the necessary evidence and present a compelling case to demonstrate that an immigrant meets the criteria for cancellation of removal.
• Prosecutorial discretion: In some cases, immigration authorities may choose not to pursue deportation against an individual. This can take the form of administrative closure or termination of the case, allowing the person to remain in the U.S. temporarily. Our lawyers are skilled in negotiating and advocating for prosecutorial discretion by highlighting factors such as long-term presence in the United States, family ties, and lack of a criminal record.
• Asylum: Those who are likely to face persecution in their home country may request protection against deportation, ensuring that they can continue living in the United States. Asylum seekers must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution because of their nationality, religion, race, political opinions, or membership in certain groups. At Immigration Legal Advisors, PLLC, our attorneys assist clients in preparing detailed and evidence-backed asylum applications, and we can also provide representation in asylum interviews and court hearings.
• Adjustment of status: If a person qualifies to become a lawful permanent resident of the United States, they may seek to adjust their status during deportation proceedings. By applying for a Green Card, an immigrant may be able to remain in the United States. A person's legal status may be changed from non-immigrant to immigrant based on marriage, family relationships, or employment opportunities, as long as they are eligible under current immigration laws and have an approved or pending immigrant visa petition. Our legal team assists clients in navigating the complex requirements and paperwork involved in an adjustment of status.
