Immigration Court Defense

If You Are in Removal Proceedings, You Still Have Options

Being placed in removal proceedings does not automatically mean deportation. Immigration court is a legal forum where individuals have the right to present their case and seek relief. Many of our clients have obtained green cards or other forms of protection while in proceedings.

Possible Relief in Immigration Court

Marriage-Based Green Card in Proceedings

If you have married a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible to apply for adjustment of status even while in removal proceedings. The immigration judge has jurisdiction to grant this relief in many cases.


Cancellation of Removal (Non-LPR)

If you have been continuously present in the U.S. for at least 10 years, have good moral character, and can show that your removal would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse, parent, or child, you may qualify for cancellation of removal — which results in a green card.

Asylum and Other Humanitarian Relief

If you fear return to your home country due to persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group, you may qualify for asylum or other humanitarian protection.
