3 Ways to Challenge Your Deportation

Many immigrants live in the U.S. for most of their lives despite not having citizenship. However, an undocumented resident or nonimmigrant with an expired visa may be deported to his or her home country if the individual is discovered by law enforcement. When these immigrants receive a deportation notice in the mail, it can create a stressful and confusing situation.

If you have been notified of deportation, you have several options to fight this issue. It is important to remember that you have help. To learn more about your options, contact an Orange County immigration attorney of Garg & Associates, P.C., today by calling 949-540-6704.

Fighting to Remain in the U.S.

The following three options can help you fight deportation:

#1: Seeking Asylum

Many people moved to the United States to protect themselves from persecution in their home countries. If this is the case with your immigration, you can file for asylum. If approved, you can remain in the U.S.

#2: Cancellation of Removal

Immigrant families typically come to America for a better way of life. If they can prove that they will face a great deal of hardship upon return to their home country, the deportation may be canceled. To qualify for a cancellation of removal, a family must have lived in the U.S. for a certain period of time, maintained a clean criminal record, and be married to or have children that are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

#3: Voluntary Removal

If you are forcibly deported from the U.S., it will be placed on your official record. This may negatively affect your ability to come back to the United States. Thus, it may be best to voluntarily leave the U.S. so that you can reapply for citizenship or permanent residency.
