Grounds for Removal
There are a number of grounds for inadmissibility and/or removal of a noncitizen, including, but not limited to:
- Conviction of a felony, including domestic violence, aggravated DUI, drug charges or theft
- Diagnosis of AIDs or tuberculosis
- Fraudulent marriage to a U.S. citizen in order to gain a coveted green card
- Making terroristic threats
- Voting in any election in the United States
- Representing yourself as a U.S. citizen on an I-9, student loan, or any other federal or state form
We have helped many noncitizens legalize their status in order to remain in the United States. Problems arise in several different circumstances for noncitizens, including denials of citizenship applications; failure to notify the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of an address change; traffic citations and arrests for driving with a suspended license or for having no driver’s license.
Defenses to Removal
You may be eligible for various defenses to removal including asylum, cancellation of removal, voluntary departure, AOS or waivers.
It is not uncommon for undocumented persons to be arrested by local police for a traffic violation, then transferred into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody at a temporary holding facility. Many times, these undocumented persons are then transferred to the Krome North detention center in Miami or to Jacksonville, where the attorneys in our Miami or Jacksonville offices can assist in obtaining a bond to be released from custody.
