What to Know About Immigration Court

Understanding the processes, consequences, and possible relief can help you take control of your case and avoid removal.

How do I stop deportation or removal?

To stop deportation, you must qualify for a legal form of relief such as asylum, cancellation of removal, a waiver, or adjustment of status. The challenge is identifying which option applies to your situation and presenting it correctly before the court. Through a thorough case evaluation, an experienced immigration attorney can determine the strongest available defense and build a strategy to protect your ability to remain in the United States.

What happens at my immigration court hearing?

At your immigration court hearing, a judge will review your case and ask questions to determine whether you can remain in the United States or must be removed. Most individuals attend multiple hearings, including preliminary and final proceedings. What you say, how your case is presented, and the evidence you provide can directly impact the outcome, which is why proper preparation with an immigration attorney is critical.

Do I need a lawyer for my immigration court case?

While immigration court does not require a lawyer, the government will always be represented by an attorney. Your own representative can help you navigate the complex legal standards of immigration court and prepare a defense that protects you from deportation. Without the guidance of an immigration court advocate, it’s easy to make mistakes that affect your ability to stay.

Can I stay in the United States while my immigration court case is pending?

In most cases, you can remain in the United States while your immigration court case is ongoing. However, your status and options can vary based on your circumstances. Court proceedings can take months or even years. Having an experienced immigration attorney in your corner can help you pursue all available forms of relief and protect your status through every stage of your case.
