What Defenses Can I Take Against Deportation from the United States?

It is an unfortunate truth that, regardless of whether you hold a green card, you may face an uncertain future. Specifically, you may face the effects of deportation or detention. Read on to discover how a seasoned Lyndhurst green card immigration lawyer at the Law Offices of Salvatore A. Falletta, LLC can provide quality legal support to fight deportation from the United States on your behalf.

How can I fight deportation from the United States?

Firstly, it is important to know the two categories of processes that may deny your ability to live in the U.S. There are inadmissibility proceedings, which affect you if you wish to enter the U.S., and there are removal proceedings, which affect you if you are already in the U.S.

With this, one of the more popular options you may have in defending your right to stay in the country is by utilizing waivers. Specifically, an immigration attorney can assist you in fighting off the following deportation actions with the use of such waivers:

• Violations of visa conditions.
• Criminal charges.
• Illegal immigration.

Why am I facing deportation from the United States?

Firstly, an immigration attorney can use an I-601 waiver to fight against an inadmissibility status on your behalf. You may be facing these proceedings based on the following grounds:

• Grounds based on immigration history.
• Grounds based on immigration violations.
• Grounds based on a lack of documentation.
• Economic grounds.
• Health-related grounds.
• Criminal grounds.

Secondly, an immigration attorney can file a removability waiver to fight against a removability status on your behalf. You may be facing these proceedings based on the following grounds:

• Fraudulent documents.
• Fraudulent declaration of citizenship.
• Criminal activities.
• Marriage fraud.
• Drug crimes.
• Your part in smuggling other aliens into the U.S.

Unlike inadmissibility proceedings, removal proceedings require the burden of proof to be on the government. This means that the government is responsible for demonstrating that you have committed crimes or violated immigration laws and thus you should be deported.
