Federal Laws Regarding Removal and Deportation
The United States government may use certain grounds in order to determine if non-citizens or green card holders are to be deported to their country of origin. If you fail to notify a change of address or to abide by the terms of your visa, you can face potential deportation. Fraudulent marriages or helping to smuggle others into the United States also call for deportation.
Your Rights
In the initial hearing, respondents are allowed to request a Bond Redetermination Hearing. Not all respondents qualify for bond, however after an attorney reviews your case, you will know whether you will have the opportunity to ask for bond or not. As part of the bond hearing, the Immigration Judge assesses whether you are a “flight risk.” A “flight risk” means that you will not show up to immigration court in the future because you do not have strong family ties.
Depending on the special circumstances of every case, a bond can be an option for you. Immigrants can have a family member post the bond so that they may be rightfully released. The bond money is returned at the conclusion of all of the immigration hearings, meaning the final hearing. Pursuant to the INA, the minimum amount of bond Immigration Judge can set in a removal hearing is $1,500. Unfortunately, there is no maximum amount.
FAQs About Removal Defense
An individual scheduled for an immigration court hearing must appear at the hearing. If you are late or do not show up to a hearing, the immigration judge can enter a removal order in your absence, immediately. An order in absentia can be cured with a Motion to Reopen, however, you need to file it within 90 days and you have to prove exceptional circumstances, which is a legal term of art. The consequences of missing court also mean that you have a ten-year bar, so they need to hire an attorney for this type of appeal ASAP.
Yes. There are a number of legal grounds in which the U.S. government could use to terminate your status as a legal permanent resident. The most common are the conviction of specific crimes and abandonment of legal permanent resident status.
The answer to this question varies drastically because, in removal hearings, there are at best maybe 4-6 hearings. In non-detained court, the hearings go on for years so clients can attend hearings for three or four years and need to be in court maybe once or twice a year. It all depends on the backlog of the courts. Also, continuances are needed in order to provide the proper original documents to the court, and this becomes problematic when you are requesting original docs from overseas. So this is a hard question to pinpoint, but there are several factors.
