Los Angeles Deportation Attorneys

Protecting your rights

The United States establishes strict standards for people living and visiting the country. You may be subject to deportation or removal if you fail to abide by U.S. laws, including if you:

• Become a public charge
• Commit certain crimes
• Engage in marriage fraud
• Enter the U.S. without a visa
• Overstay a U.S. visa
• Present false information or documents to an immigration officer
• Threaten U.S. security
• Violate a provision of your visa

An experienced law office provides essential Los Angeles deportation help to those immigrants facing the devastating prospect of separation from family members and loss of their livelihoods and homes.

Waivers for crimes involving moral turpitude

A conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude may render you deportable. Whether certain crimes involve moral turpitude remains debatable because of the broadness of the definition. Cases of fraud, larceny and intent to harm persons or property typically qualify, whereas violations of regulatory laws do not. If applicable to your case, your lawyer can apply for a waiver that withholds removal and allows you to apply for your green card.

Deportation proceedings

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issues you a Notice to Appear (NTA) stating the reasons for your order of removal. A Los Angeles immigration court schedules a hearing date. If you admit to the allegations on the NTA, the immigration judge may issue a deportation order unless you are eligible for a waiver. If you deny the content of the NTA or apply for relief, the court schedules an individual hearing, at which you can present evidence and testimony in support of your case.

Detention and bonds

Being held in a Los Angeles immigration detention center can be frightening ordeal. Often individuals who have not committed a crime are detained because they overstayed their visa or entered without one.

An immigration bond secures your attendance at court hearings in return for your release from the immigration detention center in Los Angeles until the disposition of your case. Failing to attend a hearing or otherwise violating the terms of your bond can result in its revocation and issuance of an order for your detention.
