Deportation Answers
A person placed in deportation proceedings may have several options to fight their case and avoid being removed from the United States.
First, if the person is married to a US citizen or has a US citizen child over the age of 21, they may be eligible to benefit from a family based visa petition. This could then lead to the court, or USCIS, granting Adjustment of Status to Lawful Permanent Resident – green card.
Second, if the person is afraid to return to their home country because of persecution, they may be eligible to apply for Asylum. This, too, can eventually lead to permanent residence.
Third, if a person has been the victim of a crime in the United States, they may be eligible for U visa. It is important to note that these forms of relief can be applied for affirmatively, that is, before a person is placed in deportation proceedings. Again, this can lead to permanent residence.
In addition to the relief options above, another possible defense is Cancellation of Removal. This is a type of relief that is only available to people in deportation proceedings and cannot be applied for affirmatively. A person in deportation proceedings who is a Permanent Resident can apply for cancellation of removal if:
1. they have been a permanent residence for at least 5 years;
2. have resided in the US continuously for 7 years; and
3. they have not been convicted of an aggravated felony.
If the person in deportation proceedings is NOT a permanent resident, they can still apply for cancellation of removal if:
1. they can prove that they have been living in the US continuously for 10 years;
2. that their deportation would cause exceptional hardship to their US citizen or permanent resident family members;
3. they have good moral character;
4. and they have not been convicted of certain crimes.
