Immigration Appeals
Filing an appeal and opening an immigration case in court is possible when you have additional evidence to present, such as documents proving key circumstances of the applicant or newly discovered data that was not available during the initial legal process.
WHAT CAN I DO IF I RECEIVE AN ORDER OF REMOVAL?
When a person receives a Notice to Appear (NTA) as their first court hearing and for some reason does not appear before the judge, the judge has the power to enter an order to have them deported in absentia. Also, when a person receives a direct removal order, they may choose to file an appeal within 90 days of the initial order.
It is time then to contact our immigration lawyers, specialists in these cases, to file a motion to reopen the case for you. An automatic stay of removal will be granted and your visa or residency may remain in effect until the Court makes a final decision. Our lawyers know the scenarios of action to present before the judge evidence and documents that support your case. To name a few examples, an absentee order can be revoked by showing the judge that you were in state or federal custody at the time of your hearing, or due to exceptional circumstances, such as the death or serious illness of a family member.
IN REFERENCE TO THE IMMIGRATION JUDGE
The original immigration judge, that is, the one who issued the removal order, has the ability to grant or deny your motion at his personal discretion, either to reconsider your case, or to reopen it. The accompaniment of an immigration appeal lawyer is of the utmost importance, since his experience allows him to know the precise moment to take strategic legal action, under the corresponding conditions.
Our team is strongly committed to providing the best possible legal defense for our clients facing deportation hearings. Much of our team of attorneys and administrative staff are children of immigrants who understand the situation our clients face in deportation hearings. As bilingual professionals, we strive to maintain effective communication where the client always feels heard and cared for.
