Protecting Your Right to Stay in the United States
At Khashmati Law, P.C., our experienced removal defense attorney represents individuals facing deportation and immigration court proceedings throughout New York City and across the United States. Being placed in removal proceedings can put your family, future, immigration status, and ability to remain in the United States at serious risk, making it critical to work with an immigration lawyer who understands the complexities of Immigration Court litigation. Our immigration attorney regularly represents clients before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) in matters involving cancellation of removal, asylum claims, adjustment of status, waivers, bond hearings, motions to reopen, and other forms of immigration relief. Based in Queens, New York, our removal defense attorney provides aggressive legal advocacy, strategic case preparation, and direct attorney access to help clients fight deportation and protect their right to remain in the United States.
What Is Removal?
Removal is the legal process by which the U.S. government seeks to remove a non-citizen from the country. It is initiated when U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) alleges that an individual has violated immigration law. Your case is then brought before an immigration judge within the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR)—a branch of the U.S. Department of Justice.
The outcome of a removal case depends on many factors, including the nature of the alleged violation, your immigration history, the strength of your defense, and whether you qualify for any forms of relief from removal. With experienced legal representation, many individuals are able to stop, delay, or reverse their deportation.
Common Grounds for Removal
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), there are several reasons the government may initiate removal proceedings, including:
- Violations of visa status or inadmissibility at the time of entry or adjustment
- Criminal convictions, including certain misdemeanors and felonies
- Failure to register or use of fraudulent documents
- Alleged involvement in terrorism or national security threats
- Becoming a public charge or being primarily dependent on government support
- Unlawfully voting in a U.S. election
Even lawful permanent residents (green card holders) can be placed in removal proceedings for these or other violations. That’s why immediate action and strong legal representation are essential.
