Deportation And Removal Attorney
California Deportation And Removal Lawyer
The number of immigration applications in the USA have reached an all time high in recent years. Among these non-native citizens, many are either not legally present in America or have been accused of violating an immigration law. Whatever the reason may be, the deportation process can lead to financial and emotional strain.
How Does The Deportation Proceedings Work In California?
Once the authorities find someone to be potentially deportable, they decide which process they should use to legally deport a person. The authorities must also decide whether they should start a removal proceeding or immediately deport a person, known as expedited removal. The court then usually holds two hearings, depending on your case. The first hearing to decide whether the person can legally be deported is known as a “master hearing” while the final hearing where the judge delivers upon your fate in the country is known as an “individual hearing”. However, the person in proceedings has a right to be represented by an attorney. For representation in immigration court, our California deportation and criminal defense lawyer can promptly act on your behalf.
What Are The Grounds For Deportation From California?
Whoever carries a nonimmigrant visa has a right to enter and temporarily stay in the United States, provided that they follow certain rules and avoid violating laws. However, there are a number of reasons why a person who is not a citizen of the United States can be deported back to their country. The authorities have a right to deport the following individuals:
- Person whose visa has expired
- Person with a rejected asylum offer
- Person charged with numerous criminal activities
- Person who is in alliance with prohibited organizations
- Person who has violated laws, such as work without permission
- Person who has entered the USA without proper authorized procedure
- Person who has become a public charge within 5 years of his entry into the U.S.

As per the U.S. State Dept., employment-based immigration involves three categories: (1) People with extraordinary ability, meaning those who have reached a high level of acclaim and recognition in their fields; (2) outstanding professors and researchers on the path to tenure; and (3) executives or managers employed with multinational U.S.-based corporations.
The EB-2 visa represents the so-called “second preference” under U.S. immigration law. There are two categories under the EB-2 visa: (1) Professionals who have an advanced degree (above and beyond the baccalaureate degree), or, in rarer instances, those who have only a baccalaureate degree but relevant experience in his or her field; and (2) those with “exceptional ability” in the arts and sciences or in business, as demonstrated by evidence.

Hi Bernie
My interview last week Thursday went flawlessly.
The interviewing officer was from Romania, where I’ve been multiple times, so we had a great connection.
They scheduled our Oath Ceremony the same day, and I became a US citizen on Feb 3, 2022.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me on my journey to become a US citizen.
I’m incredibly fortunate to have an attorney that believes in me and my abilities and gave me the confidence to pursue the American Dream.
I hope to make you even more proud of my future careers and life experiences in the US.
