What are Removal Proceedings?
Removal proceedings are initiated by the U.S. government when it believes a non-citizen is present in the United States without legal authorization or has violated the terms of their visa. These proceedings can lead to deportation (removal) from the U.S. if you are unable to establish your right to remain in the country.
Grounds for Deportation
There are numerous grounds for deportation, including:
- Entering the U.S. without inspection or authorization.
- Overstaying a visa.
- Violating the terms of a visa (e.g., working without authorization).
- Criminal convictions.
- Fraud or misrepresentation in immigration applications.
- Becoming a public charge.
