FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You should immediately contact an immigration attorney to prepare your defense and ensure you are fully prepared for your court appearance.
I received a Notice to Appear (NTA), what should I do?
Yes, you can. Typically, you have 30 days to file an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), provided you have solid legal grounds.
Can I appeal a deportation order?
Exercise your right to remain silent and request the presence of an immigration attorney before making any statements or signing any documents.
What should I do if I am detained?
Yes, it is possible. Having no criminal record is a favorable factor, but all legal circumstances should be assessed to determine available relief options.
I don’t have a criminal record; do I have a chance to stay in the U.S.?
In many cases, leaving voluntarily can help avoid a long-term reentry ban. However, this decision should be made with the guidance of a specialized immigration attorney.
Is it better to leave voluntarily or wait to be deported?
The deportation process can be complex and involves fulfilling various legal requirements. To assist you more effectively based on your specific situation, please provide your contact information so we can schedule a personalized consultation. A representative from First Consulting Group will contact you during business hours to provide expert guidance.
We will contact you as soon as possible during business hours!
