Marriage Cases in Removal Proceedings

Did you and your wife separate while removing conditions
on your conditional  green card and you are now facing deportation?
Did you fail to file your petition to remove conditions on time
and have now received a Notice to Appear in Immigration Court?

We’re Here to Help!

Whether you marry prior to or after your placement in removal proceedings by USCIS, you must prove that your marriage is bona fide, or genuine in nature. However, if you marry after you already have been charged with removal, the burden of showing that your marriage is bona fide or in good faith is much higher. Immigration authorities will want proof that you are not just marrying for convenience or to get around immigration laws because you are in danger of being removed from the country.While getting married during removal proceedings may initially look suspicious to immigration authorities, it does present some potential options for you to avoid removal and remain in the U.S. with your family. That is why you need an experience immigration attorney to help you prepare your case. If a formal finding of marriage fraud is made by the agency, this can be very difficult to overcome and the right lawyer for the job can make a huge difference.  It’s important to work with an attorney who will develop successful strategies to overcome fraud allegations that may be founded on an immigration officer’s faulty legal reasoning or their misunderstanding of, or cultural hostility toward, your family life.Refusing to fight an allegation of marriage fraud can not only lead to your deportation, but could bar you from ever being able to benefit from another family-based immigrant visa petition if you subsequently remarried or had a parent sponsor you. Marriage fraud must be fought if you want to stay in the U.S.

Call us today to discuss  your case. We will think outside the box in overcoming the presumption that you have committed marriage fraud if you end up in deportation proceedings due to a denied immigrant visa, expired conditional green card, or denied petition remove the condition on your residency.

Bond Hearing Representation

Were you placed in removal proceedings and are now in ICE detention?
Want to see if you qualify to get out on bond and want to be given an amount as low as possible?

We’re Here to Help!

Many people are in ICE detention while facing deportation for months or even years at a time. They ask– how do I get out?  Some detained immigrants are eligible for “bond.”

A bond hearing is a court proceeding during which the person who was arrested is informed of the charges against them and it is determined if they are eligible for bond. This type of hearing is also called a first appearance hearing or a bail bond hearing. This is your chance to explain to the Immigration Judge why you should not be in held in detention if you are facing deportation and try to set your bail to the amount as low as possible.  Usually bond is set at a high enough amount to make sure you return to your removal proceedings.

We will work with you to present the best case at your bond hearing increasing your chances for receiving bond. Contact us today to represent you at your immigration bond hearing.

You need the help of experienced immigration counsel to represent you at your immigration bond hearing and who will work with you to present the best case at your bond hearing.

Call us today to discuss your case. The more time you have to prepare your case , the better your chances may be.
