Still No Ruling on President Obama’s Immigration Plan
When a Texas judge issued a stay in the President’s plans for immigration reform, a special meeting of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was called in order to hear both sides of the argument. The judges have yet to make a ruling, and it could be many weeks before they do so. For the millions of immigrants in America who face deportation at any given time, however, those weeks could be the difference between leaving this country and staying here with their families.
But what can you do if you are currently in the midst of the removal process? What steps can you take to ensure your safety? To begin:
- Hire an immigration attorney. Just like you would not hire a doctor to work on your car, you shouldn’t hire a lawyer who does not practice immigration law to work on your case. An immigration attorney understands the laws and knows what to do if you are faced with d
- Be honest on the forms you file. There are a lot of forms to fill out and send to the government in order to keep you from being deported. You need to fill them in honestly and completely in order to increase your chances of success. If an immigration official discovers you answered a question incorrectly or lied, you can be deported. At our law office, we help people fill out the forms properly.
Stay out of trouble. If you are facing removal because you were arrested, hire a lawyer familiar with immigration law and criminal law. At times, prosecutors will work with lawyers to dispose of a criminal case that will not result in your being removed or deported.
The removal process is complex, and it is best to speak with a Nashville immigration lawyer about all of your options. This way you can ask questions as they arise, and you won’t have to worry about missing out on important information.
