How We Fight Deportation in New York City
To build up a case, the officials at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) must ensure that the individual’s situation meets all of the criteria for deportation. The burden of proof depends on a very rigid set of regulations and guidelines, which means that it can often be difficult for each case to meet the requirements. What we at Musa-Obregon Law PC can do as your defense attorneys is to discover any holes or weaknesses in their case. We can then base our counter argument on these points.
The exact steps we take to handle a client's case will depend on the particular circumstances as well as the reason for the threatened deportation, which can arise due to the following:
- The commission of particular criminal acts that are considered deportable offenses.
- Being declared guilty of marriage fraud for the purposes of obtaining an immigrant visa.
- Violations of immigration law, including conditions of entry or violation of non-immigrant status.
- Relinquishing permanent resident status, even if you did not intend to do so.

One of the reasons why some people face removal occurs because they have been accused of committing a serious crime, such as a sex crime or a drug crime. Alternatively, perhaps they have allegedly entered the U.S. under illegal circumstances. It is up to the government to determine where the offense occurred, and this is often a painstakingly lengthy process. However, you may be to stop the removal proceedings with the help of our New York City and Queens immigration lawyers investigating your case. We may be able to halt the proceedings and help you qualify for an “adjustment of status.”

- You are seeking asylum in the U.S. or are a refugee
- You have an active petition by a U.S. employer or are looking to invest in a U.S.-based venture
- You are participating in a human rights organization
