Arizona Deportation Defense Lawyer
There are several ways that an individual can become the subject of removal (deportation) proceedings to force him or her to leave the United States. Whatever the reason, fighting deportation/removal requires in-depth knowledge of the process and a willingness to explore all options to help an individual remain in the U.S.
At Kanu & Associates, P.C., our immigration attorneys help clients who are facing deportation/removal proceedings. We examine their situations carefully and discuss the strategies available to them. Some of these options include:
- Adjustment of status: An individual in removal proceedings may be eligible to adjust his or her status to lawful permanent resident (LPR) if related to a U.S. citizen as a spouse, child, parent or sibling.
- Cancellation of removal: We assist clients in removal proceedings because they were convicted of a criminal offense. If the individual meets the conditions, such as being an LPR for at least five years, and the offense was not an aggravated felony, we may be able to help them have the removal action cancelled. There are other circumstances in which we can help clients apply for cancellation of removal and adjustment of status.
- Asylum: Individuals in removal may qualify for asylum if they can demonstrate that he or she has a well-founded fear of persecution in the home country based on race, religion, membership in a political group or other basis.
- Withholding of removal: This strategy has a higher burden of proof, requiring the applicant to show that there is a clear probability of persecution if he or she returned to the home country.
- Convention against torture (CAT): An individual may be able to contest removal if he or she fears government-sponsored torture in the home country.
