Reasons One May Face Deportation

• Criminal actions or criminal history. A criminal history, whether petty crimes and misdemeanors or felonies, can potentially impact your immigration status. Serious felonies, such as theft, domestic violence, or drug offenses often initiate deportation proceedings
• Overstaying a visa. Receiving a visa to enter the United States comes with an expiration date. Failing to reapply for your visa may trigger deportation proceedings. Many individuals may accidentally overstay their visas due to inadvertent delays in renewal or a misinterpretation of the law.
• Illegal entry. There are many legal and illegal ways to enter the United States. Some individuals, due to various circumstances, who are seeking asylum or protection from their own country may choose to cross these borders illegally. However, there are protections and legal rights for those who have crossed the border illegally who are seeking asylum or protection from their own country.
• Misrepresentation or fraud. Individuals who provide false information on immigration and applications or documentation can face deportation. Common instances of alleged fraud include lying about marriage and identity or even misrepresenting where in the U.S. you are going or with whom you are staying.
• Noncompliance with immigration court orders. Individuals who do not adequately comply with immigration court orders, such as those who miss immigration court hearings, can have a deportation order against them. It is important to always remain aware of any legal proceedings you may need to be a part of when immigration is involved.
• Public charge. In certain circumstances, individuals may be subject to deportation under the public charge rule. This means that individuals who are deemed likely to become heavily dependent on government benefits such as having a necessity for long-term, government-funded institutionalized care, may face deportation as a result.

Removal Proceedings

If the government determines that you should face deportation proceedings, also referred to as removal, understanding the process can empower you to work with your lawyer and navigate the complex road ahead. The removal process will look as follows:

• You will receive a notice to appear from the Department of Homeland Security.
• You will attend an initial appearance. During the initial appearance, the legal teams will develop a legal calendar for your removal process. Failure to attend this court date could result in an automatic removal.
• The next step is a merit hearing, at which a judge will determine whether you should be removed.

These proceedings are held in the presence of a judge who works in immigration. They will make the ultimate determination of removal or relief. Ensuring you have the legal help you deserve from PPID can help you better navigate this process.
