If you are facing deportation there are several things to do to make sure you have the best chances to stay in this country.
1. Contact an Immigration Lawyer Immediately
It is important to immediately contact a lawyer who specializes in immigration law. An immigration attorney has years of experience protecting immigrants rights when facing deportation. The attorney’s experience and knowledge of the complex immigration laws will be your best resource in a deportation hearing.
2. Get All the Information You Can
During a deportation hearing it is important for you to be as informed as possible about what is coming next. Your immigration lawyer is a fantastic source of information. Other places to find information on deportation proceedings would be your local library or the internet. If you know people who have faced deportation before they can often advise you in what to expect.
3. Double Check Dates and Attend Any Hearing
It is very important to never miss a deadline for a hearing or for submitting paperwork. Failure to appear at a hearing can be cause for a failed hearing even if otherwise everything is in order.
4. Review Materials for Hearings or Appeals
Always make sure you have any paperwork or other materials the court expects from you. This may require acquiring the paperwork long before the date that the hearing is actually set to occur. Your immigration attorney can advise you of what types of paperwork you may be required to provide.
5. Do Not Try to Flee
Even if you are worried it is important not to flee from the hearing. Fleeing a hearing can hurt your hearing and any chances you may have had for appeals. If you are worried about your case talk to your immigration lawyer. He can tell you what to expect and what recourse you have if the hearing does go badly. A failed hearing is not the end. There are opportunities for appeals against the ruling.
