DEPORTATION AND REMOVAL DEFENSE LAWYER CAN HELP

WE HELP PREVENT THE REMOVAL OF YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONE FROM THE U.S.

When you face deportation or removal from the United States because of legalities, the prospect of having your family torn apart is overwhelming. Whether you or a loved one is confronted by this situation, you need an experienced, compassionate, and knowledgeable legal team on your side.

Deportation can occur for a variety of reasons that include the following:

• When an immigrant enters the country illegally
• If a visitor overstays his or her visa or no longer meets the visa requirements (e.g., someone with a student visa who is no longer in school)
• When a legal immigrant violates certain immigration laws
• If a legal permanent resident is convicted of certain crimes, or found to be involved in smuggling, trafficking, or terrorist activity

Whatever the reason, if you or someone you love is facing deportation proceedings, there is a strong possibility they will be forced to leave the country if they proceed without committed, effective deportation defense. At Bassey Immigration Law Center, we are here to offer you personalized legal representation and will do everything we can to keep you and your loved ones together.

HOW TO FIGHT DEPORTATION AND REMOVAL

There are a number of ways to fight deportation, which include challenging the fact that you are even deportable. The goal in this case would be to prove that the government has made a mistake. The government must produce the necessary documentation and prove the facts behind your deportation. If you make a successful case, the deportation proceeding may be canceled, deferred, or suspended, naturalization or asylum granted, or the matter may end in another resolution.

Even if you or your loved one already faces deportation proceedings, you can request an adjustment of your status to that of legal immigrant and thus avoid being deported. In such circumstances, you would need to qualify for a green card, asylum, or other types of relief.

Raising the right argument is important because it can affect your right to remain in the country, your right to work, and the rights of your immediate family to remain together.

Defending against deportation requires a thorough understanding of multiple areas of law, so it is important to choose a deportation lawyer with in-depth experience. If your deportation matter potentially impacts your spouse and children, consult a family immigration lawyer in Florida to discuss how deportation proceedings affect your family unit.

REASONS FOR DEPORTATION

There are a lot of reasons that an immigrant may be deported, from being in the country without permission to committing an offense that nullifies the permission that the immigrant had already received. Some of the more common scenarios include:

• Illegal border crossings
• Overstayed visas
• Domestic violence
• Crimes of moral turpitude
• Drug smuggling
• Human trafficking
• Marriage fraud
• Falsely claiming citizenship
• Violations of immigration law

Some deportable offenses may seem minor but they can have serious consequences. For example, many crimes that are listed as misdemeanors are serious enough to lead to removal even if there is no conviction – a guilty or no contest plea may jeopardize status. Even failing to register a change of address or receiving public assistance may disqualify an immigrant from remaining in the country. When so many situations can impact immigration status, it is important to speak with a deportation and removal defense lawyer if you are facing a hearing.
