Deportation Lawyer in New York City
Serving the Greater NY Metropolitan Area
Any person who is not a U.S. citizen can face deportation charges. While the government may have legitimate reasons to remove an immigrant, sometimes immigrants are deported unfairly due to minor technicalities that can be overcome. Having the guidance of a skilled New York City deportation attorney can help.
Legal grounds for deportation may include the following:
- Being convicted of violating U.S. laws
- Having a serious criminal record or pending criminal charges outside the United States
- Entering the United States illegally by evading the border inspection process or entering with a fraudulent visa or fraudulent green card
- Overstaying a visa
- Fraudulent marriage
- Carrying a contagious illness such as AIDS or tuberculosis that poses a health risk to the public
- Membership or sympathetic ties with prohibited organizations or terrorist groups
What to expect
When you receive a Notice to Appear for a deportation hearing you are required to appear before a judge who will review your case and render a decision. Attorneys from the Department of Homeland Security may try to demonstrate why you should be removed from the country, but the ultimate decision lies in the hands of the judge and their ultimate decision depends on how the judge applies the law to your particular case.
