Circumstances that May Result in Deportation Proceedings
There are two categories of individuals who may face deportation proceedings, also known as removal proceedings:
- Individuals who arrive at a port of entry to the United States and are not admitted into the U.S.
- Individuals who are admitted into the United States
In the case of individuals who are not admitted into the U.S., the following reasons may be grounds for charges of inadmissibility as provided for in 8 USC §1182:
- Health-related grounds – conditions such as communicable diseases or physical or mental disorders that pose a threat to the safety and welfare of the individual or others.
- Criminal and related grounds – conviction or admission of certain crimes involving moral turpitude, or crimes relating to a controlled substance. Individuals with multiple criminal convictions, controlled substance traffickers, and engaging in prostitution, money laundering, and human trafficking will also face charges of inadmissibility under criminal and related grounds.
- Security and related grounds – individuals suspected of espionage or sabotage against the U.S., and individuals engaged in terrorist activities and their spouses or children.
- Public charge – individuals deemed likely to become a public charge based on their age, health, family status, financial status and resources, and education and skills.
In the case of individuals admitted into the U.S., the following reasons may be grounds for charges of inadmissibility as provided for in 8 USC §1227:
- Inadmissibility at the time of entry
- Revocation of nonimmigrant visa
- Violation of conditions of entry
- Marriage fraud
- Criminal offenses including crimes of moral turpitude, aggravated felony, high-speed flight, failure to register as a sex offender, and multiple criminal convictions
What to Expect in Removal Proceedings
If you are facing removal proceedings, you will receive a written notice or “notice to appear”, which will contain all the details of the proceedings including the reason why proceedings have been initiated against you. If you receive a “notice to appear”, you should immediately contact a skilled immigration lawyer to represent you. It is never a good idea to ignore a “notice to appear” as the clock starts running against you once there is proof that you have been served the notice to appear. The proceedings will not stop because you refused to respond, and a decision to deport you can be taken in your absence.
