The immigration lawyers at Livesay & Myers represent clients throughout Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia in removal or deportation proceedings in immigration court.
If you are placed in removal or deportation proceedings, the right attorney can give you the best chance at obtaining one of the available forms of relief, e.g., Asylum, Withholding of Removal, Cancellation of Removal, Temporary Protected Status, or Voluntary Departure. If the government institutes removal proceedings against you-- i.e., attempts to deport you from the country-- then it is critical that you seek legal counsel, to learn about your potential defenses.
Removal and Relief
Potential forms of relief from a removal or deportation action by the government include: Asylum, Withholding of Removal, relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), Cancellation of Removal, Temporary Protected Status, Cancellation of Removal under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA), and Voluntary Departure.
Some forms of relief are based on an individual's fear of persecution, harm, or torture in his/her native country: Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Other forms of relief are based on a number of different factors, e.g. exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien's U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) spouse. If you are facing potential removal or deportation, you should consult with an immigration attorney knowledgeable in Removal and Relief issues right away.
