Removal Defense Attorneys

• Refuting the grounds for removal. In some cases, you may be able to outright dispute the grounds for removal. For example, DHS may claim you are removable because you were convicted of a crime of moral turpitude. If you did not actually commit a crime that falls under that category, you can argue you are not removable.
• Obtaining a green card through family sponsorship. If a qualifying relative is willing to sponsor you or you can marry an existing U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be able to remain in the country on the basis that you may be eligible for a family-based green card.
• Seeking asylum. If you have been persecuted in the past or reasonably fear future persecution in your home country on the basis of your race, religion, nationality, political opinions, or membership in a particular social group, you may be eligible for asylum status and can request this relief as a removal defense strategy.
• Requesting a cancellation of removal. This strategy may be an option if you are being targeted for removal due to unlawful presence or as a result of being convicted of certain crimes. To receive this relief, you must generally have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years and establish that your removal would cause extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, child, or parent.

If we determine no viable defense strategy is available, it may be in your best interest to negotiate a voluntary departure. This will involve your voluntarily leaving the country and confers fewer long-term consequences than a compulsory removal. 

Our legal team at Herischi & Associates understands how removal cases are adjudicated and can provide the representation you need in and out of the courtroom. No matter how dire your circumstances may seem, our removal defense lawyers will fight tirelessly on your behalf and do everything possible to deliver a favorable outcome.
