Strategies for Persons Facing Deportation

Persons who have overstayed their visas or who have entered illegally are subject to deportation if found out. Unfortunately, they are subject to arrest by the BCIS and are put into custody until they go before an Immigration Judge. Several strategies are possible before the Judge including petitions for Asylum, Withholding of Removal, Motion to Terminate Proceedings, and Suspension of Deportation. If the person has strong family ties in the U.S., bail may be available to them while they await a hearing of their case.
