San Antonio Deportation Lawyer
Aliens are deported from the United States generally on two bases: conviction of a crime, or a violation of immigration law. You may have received a Notice to Appear. You are entitled to a deportation hearing in an immigration court. Under certain circumstances, the court has discretion to make an exception that will allow you to stay in the country.
Fighting Removal
The length of your stay and good behavior may convince the court to grant you a waiver or cancellation of removal. Hardship to you or your family should you be deported may also be grounds. However, drug charges or DWI or domestic violence in your record will not help.
Political asylum may be granted where persecution in your home country is based on:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Political opinion
- Membership in a particular social group
