| 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, Contact Gerald Cipolla & Associates for a consultation. |
