Removal Proceedings

BE CAREFUL!

If you get caught in the United States unlawfully, or if you do something that could make you lose your permanent resident card, you will end up in removal proceedings. Immigration Courts exist all over the United States and Immigration Judges decide first whether an immigrant should be in custody, and second whether they should stay in the United States. This section contains samples that will allow you to make procedural motions while you buy time to get an attorney. In short – in removal proceedings, you must have representation!
