Types of Deportation Defense
Commonly, the leading issues which lead to deportation are violations of criminal law, immigration infractions and activities which fall under the category of terrorism or those which adversely affect national security.
In certain cases, however, we may find that there are legal remedies available to you to prevent being deported. Being a lawful resident for a minimum of 5 years or having lived in the U.S. for at least 7 years, when you were correctly admitted in the first place, may be legal reasons to have your deportation cancelled. Additionally, if you have not been convicted of an "aggravated felony" as given in immigration statutes, this may be grounds for a cancellation of removal.
At times, the best solution is a "voluntary departure." This prevents a formal deportation and may provide a path by which you can legally regain entry to the country at a later date. Frequently, even when a case is lost and an individual has to depart, the decision can be energetically appealed.
