Facing Removal Or Deportation?
If you’ve received notice that you’re being placed in removal proceedings before a U.S. immigration court, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what comes next.

What Are My Rights When Facing Removal from the U.S.?
First and foremost, you have the right to defend yourself in immigration court. If English is not your first language, the court will provide a qualified interpreter at no cost to ensure you can understand and participate fully in the proceedings. Immigration hearings are complex, and legal terminology can be difficult to follow—even for native speakers.
Just as importantly, you have the right to legal representation throughout your case. While the government does not provide a lawyer for you, you can retain your own immigration attorney to guide you through the process and advocate on your behalf.
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we’ve helped clients from all walks of life navigate removal proceedings with preparation and confidence. From your first court appearance to the final decision, we stand by your side and work with you to pursue every available form of relief under the law. You don’t have to face immigration court alone. With knowledgeable legal guidance and a steady hand throughout the process, you can move forward with clarity and hope.
What Relief from Deportation Might I Qualify For?
Before we can build a strong defense, it’s essential to review all of the charges listed against you. As soon as you receive a Notice to Appear (NTA), we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our office. The NTA outlines the government's case and the reasons they believe you should be removed from the United States. Bring this document with you to your first appointment—it's the starting point for understanding your legal options.
Depending on your background and circumstances, you may qualify for protection from removal if returning to your home country would put you at risk of persecution or harm based on:
- Ethnicity or race
- Religion
- Political opinion
- Membership in a particular social group (e.g., LGBTQ+ individuals, certain tribal communities, former military or police, survivors of gender-based violence, child soldiers, or relatives of political dissidents)
If you do not qualify for protection under asylum or similar programs, there may be other legal options, including:
- Family-based immigration relief
- Waivers for certain grounds of inadmissibility
- Adjustment of status
- Motions to terminate or close proceedings
- Appeals, if a judge denies your initial application
In most cases, filing an appeal stops deportation while your case is under review. At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we are committed to carefully evaluating every available option and working with you to present the strongest possible defense. Removal proceedings are serious, but they do not always lead to removal—and we are here to help you fight for the chance to stay.
