Facing deportation is one of the most stressful and frightening experiences an immigrant can go through. The government may try to remove you from the United States by placing you in removal proceedings before an immigration judge. These proceedings are adversarial, with a government attorney arguing for your removal, while you fight to stay. At Abogada Vida, we stand by your side, protecting your rights and building the strongest defense possible so you can continue your new vida in the United States.
What Happens in Removal Proceedings?
Removal proceedings begin when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issues a Notice to Appear in immigration court. This notice lists the charges against you and begins the process of determining whether you are removable.
The stages generally include:
- Challenging the Charges: We carefully review DHS’s allegations. If the charges are incorrect or unsupported, we fight to terminate the case and stop removal altogether.
- Initial Stage: If the court continues the case, the judge reviews the government’s charges and evidence to determine whether you are legally removable.
- Defense Stage: If removability is established, we present defenses and apply for relief such as asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, or other protections under immigration law.
Why Legal Representation Is Critical
Unlike criminal cases, immigration courts do not provide government-appointed attorneys. If you go to court without an attorney, you face the government’s lawyer and the immigration judge on your own. Having experienced legal representation can make all the difference.
At Abogada Vida, we:
- Challenge the government’s charges and fight for termination where possible
- Represent you in court and ensure your rights are protected
- File legal motions and applications for relief on your behalf
- Present strong evidence and testimony in support of your case
- Guide you through complex immigration laws and procedures
- Give you the best chance of avoiding removal and securing lawful status
Challenges We Help You Overcome
- Detention Issues: If you are detained, we work to secure your release on bond and continue building your defense.
- Access to Evidence: We gather documents, witness statements, and records that can support your claim.
- Complex Immigration History: We identify every possible legal avenue for relief, even in complicated or difficult cases.
