QUESTION
How can we get a removal proceedings from immigration?
Asked on Dec 29th, 2012 on Immigration - Colorado
More details to this question:
I came to this country 9 years ago and I never got in any troubles. One day I went bowling with my girlfriend and we got stopped. They asked for my ID and I don't have one. From there they took me into custody where I was released 2 days later with a 5k bond which I paid. They told me to wait for my immigration papers. They came in the mail like a week ago and the paper says I have an immigration court on the 16th of Feb. but I'm scared that if in going to get deported from that court, are they going to take me from there to get deported? I have one 5-year-old kid and another one coming in April. I really want to be with them. I was planning way before any of this happened to move to New York, will that affect my case or status? What can I do? What does that paper mean? Is there any way I can stay here? Please help me!

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

You need to obtain a qualified immigration attorney ASAP to advise you before going to Court so you will know your relief options if any. Where are you located?

If you do not attend your deportation hearing, the immigration judge may order you deported in absentia If that happens, DHS may put out a warrant and you may be arrested and deported from the United States. it is unlikely that you will be arrested when you go before the judge. The fact that ICE released you on a 5k bond suggests that you do not have a criminal record, nor were you previously in deportation court before. and so, I am inclined to think your only charge is unlawful presence. If so, you may be eligible to stay in the US. You must however hire an immigration lawyer to review all the facts of your case and help you

You must appear at the court hearing or the immigration judge will enter a deportation order against you. The hearing is to determine whether you are lawfully in the US and if not whether you can apply for the right to remain in the US. This hearing is most likely only one of a series of hearings. It is very important for you to consult with an immigration attorney regarding your situation before the hearing.

You could qualify for prosecutorial discretion. Be sure to appear at your hearing. You probably will not be deported right away. You will be released from bond. Get an immigration attorney who is qualified to handle your case.

You should retain an immigration attorney to represent you in court. If you cannot afford one, the judge should provide access to legal services. If you do not have a prior removal order, you will not be deported from court without a hearing and an attorney.
