Deportation Laws Explained

According to the IIRAIRA, if a person has been unlawfully residing in the U.S. for over 180 days, they are required to live outside of the U.S. for no less than three years. Should the individual have been living unlawfully in the U.S. for more than a year, it will take a minimum of 10 years before they are allowed back into the country. The only exception is if they have been granted a waiver.

Deportation is based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to:

Anyone who falls under one of these five categories may be looking at removal from the United States. Looking into the removal process and knowing what it takes to protect yourself from such action is imperative to obtaining positive results. Get the legal counsel that you need in order to move forward with your immigration matter with confidence!

The Process of Removal Proceedings

According to U.S. immigration law, if an individual falls under one of the aforementioned categories, they will receive a "Notice to Appear" (NTA) from the U.S. government. With this notice comes a removal proceeding where the government will seek to deport the individual in question.

This is considered an administrative case and is not criminal in nature. Immigration Judges who work for the Executive Office for Immigration Review, under the U.S. Department of Justice, will ultimately make the final decision about whether they will be removed or not.

The government will never appoint an attorney to an individual in question. As such, it is imperative to secure the representation of a qualified Houston deportation defense lawyer that has experience in removal proceedings. We can help you complete various waivers that may allow you to remain in the United States.
