Removal Proceedings and Inadmissability

Removal Proceedings are court hearings decided by an Immigration
Judge in whether an alien will be allowed to enter or remain in United
States brought by the United States Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE).  Deportation (Removal Proceedings) are similar to
regular court trials where they are usually held subsequent to an
investigation and in some instances, an arrest. The Immigration Judge
will usually determine whether the Foreign National should be removed
based on “inadmissibility” or on a ground of “deportability.”  The
distinction generally turns on whether the Foreign National has been
admitted into the United States.  If the Alien has been admitted, then
charges of deportation under Section 237 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA) will be brought against the Foreign National.  On the
other hand, an Alien that was not admitted will be charged with a ground
of inadmissibility under Section 212 of the INA.  

The outcome of deportation proceedings conclude with an order of
termination leading to relief from removal (if successful) or
deportation
(removal). It is possible to appeal an order of removal.

In some removal proceedings, various forms of relief and waivers are
available to foreign nationals.  To determine if you are eligible for a
waiver or to put forward your best defense in response to removal
proceedings,
