How Does Asylum Work?

Asylum is a protection given to people who had to leave their native countries due to the threat of persecution. Here, we will explain what asylum is and who qualifies for it. To qualify for asylum, you must meet certain criteria. These include:

• You have a well-founded fear of persecution.
• You are persecuted because of your race, religious beliefs, nationality, membership in a certain group or political views.
• You are already in the United States or seeking entry at a port of entry.

It is essential to understand that asylum is not automatically granted. You need to provide evidence and present your case to an immigration judge. Having a lawyer is very important in asylum cases. A lawyer can help you with:

• Gathering evidence: We help you collect documents and evidence to support your claim.
• Preparing your application: We guide you in filling out forms correctly and completely.
• Representation in court: We represent you before the immigration judge and fight for your rights.

We have helped many people with their asylum applications and can help you, too.

Defending You From The Threat Of Deportation

Deportation is when the government forces you to leave the United States. This can happen for many reasons, such as:

• Entering the country illegally
• Violating the terms of your visa
• Overstaying your visa
• Committing certain crimes

If you face deportation, it is crucial to challenge it. Here are some of the steps to challenge deportation:

• Request a hearing: You have the right to a hearing with an immigration judge.
• Apply for asylum: If you qualify, you can apply for asylum or other forms of relief.
• File a motion to terminate: We can file a motion to terminate your deportation proceedings if there are grounds.
• File a motion to suppress evidence: If evidence was obtained unlawfully, we can file a motion to suppress it.
• Seek a waiver: You may qualify for a waiver for your immigration violation or criminal conviction.
• Apply for cancellation of removal: In some cases, you can apply for cancellation of removal.

This process is complicated, but our asylum attorneys know exactly what to do. We care deeply about helping our clients. We have successfully helped hundreds of people avoid deportation. Having a lawyer can make a big difference in your case, so hire one as soon as you can.

Can Deportation Be Waived?

Yes, deportation can sometimes be waived. Waivers of deportation or inadmissibility are available in certain situations. They apply if you:

• Have a close family member who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
• Are a victim of a crime and have a U visa
• Qualify under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
• Can show that your removal would cause extreme hardship to your family

We can help you understand if you qualify for a waiver and guide you through the process. We understand the fear and uncertainty you may feel, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

How Long Is A Deportation Order Valid?

A deportation order is valid indefinitely. This means it has no expiration date. However, there are ways to potentially reenter the United States after a deportation order. You may be able to apply for a waiver or other forms of relief. The best way to avoid deportation is to consult a deportation defense lawyer immediately. We can help you understand if you qualify for a waiver, which one you qualify for and how to apply for it.
