Facing deportation can be overwhelming, but there are several forms of relief that may be available to undocumented immigrants in immigration court. At Attorney Sheila Rivera, we provide strong legal representation to explore all possible options to protect your rights and keep you in the United States.
Some of the types of relief from removal include:
Family-Based Adjustment of Status: If you have a qualifying family member who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be eligible to adjust your status and obtain a green card.
Asylum: For those who have suffered persecution or fear persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
Withholding of Removal: A form of protection that prevents deportation to a country where your life or freedom would be threatened.
Protection Under the Convention Against Torture (CAT): Protects individuals who fear torture if returned to their home country.
Cancellation of Removal for Non-Permanent Residents: Available to those who have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years, have good moral character, and can show that removal would cause exceptional hardship to a qualifying family member.
Cancellation Under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA): For victims of domestic violence who are married to or have been abused by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Voluntary Departure: Allows you to leave the U.S. voluntarily, avoiding the consequences of a formal deportation order.
Deferred Action: A discretionary decision to delay deportation for humanitarian or other reasons.
Prosecutorial Discretion: A request for immigration authorities to prioritize other cases, potentially leading to the dismissal of your removal proceedings.
Our experienced team will evaluate your case, determine the best strategy for relief, and fight tirelessly to protect your future in the United States. Let us help you navigate this challenging process and secure the best possible outcome.
