Preparing for Your Full Immigration Court Hearing
An individual merits hearing is one of the most important stages of an immigration court case. This is the hearing where the immigration judge may hear testimony, review evidence, consider legal arguments, and decide whether the client qualifies for relief from removal.
At Kanu & Associates, P.C., we help clients prepare thoroughly for individual hearings so their story, evidence, and legal arguments are presented clearly.
What Happens at an Individual Hearing?
At an individual hearing, the client may testify under oath, witnesses may testify, documents may be submitted, and attorneys may present arguments. Government counsel may also ask questions and challenge the evidence.
Preparation is critical. The court will often expect the case to be ready on the hearing date.
