Removal defense FAQs
General information to help you get oriented. For advice about your situation, please request a consultation.
What should I do if I receive a Notice to Appear (NTA)?
Do not ignore it. Note the deadlines, keep copies of everything, and speak with an immigration attorney as soon as possible so you can evaluate options and prepare filings on time.
Can I apply for a green card while in removal proceedings?
In some cases, yes—depending on eligibility and the procedural posture of the case. We can review whether adjustment of status or other pathways may be available.
What is a motion to reopen?
A motion to reopen asks the court to review new facts or evidence that were not previously available. Strict rules and deadlines often apply.
How long do removal proceedings take?
Timelines vary widely by court location and case complexity. We’ll help you understand likely milestones and how to stay prepared as the case moves forward.
Do you represent clients outside Massachusetts?
Yes. We serve clients nationwide and can often support removal defense matters remotely, depending on the court and case needs.
How do I prepare for my hearing?
Preparation typically includes gathering records, drafting a clear declaration, organizing supporting evidence, and understanding what questions may be asked. We guide you through each step.
