Our Illinois Removal Defense Services
At Hirsch Law Group, we are well-versed in all aspects of removal defense and can build a robust strategy to keep you in the United States.
Challenging Grounds for Removal
One of the first steps in any removal defense case is to challenge the government’s claim that you are deportable. We thoroughly review your case, examining the allegations and evidence presented by immigration authorities to identify any errors, inconsistencies, or violations of your rights.
Cancellation of Removal
For some individuals, cancellation of removal may be an option. This defense allows qualifying non-citizens to remain in the U.S. and gain lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. We can assess your eligibility and work to meet the necessary criteria, including proof of continuous residence, good moral character, and demonstrating that removal would cause exceptional hardship to a qualifying relative.
Asylum and Protection Under the Convention Against Torture (CAT)
If returning to your home country would expose you to persecution or suffering, we can file for asylum or seek protection under the CAT. Our team will gather compelling evidence, such as country condition reports and personal testimonies, to support your claim.
Adjustment of Status
In some cases, you may be eligible to adjust your immigration status to lawful permanent residency while in removal proceedings. Our attorneys will guide you through the adjustment process, ensuring that you meet all eligibility requirements and deadlines.
Waivers of Inadmissibility
Certain grounds of inadmissibility, such as past immigration violations or criminal convictions, can be waived under specific circumstances. We’ll help you file the appropriate waivers and demonstrate why you deserve a second chance to remain in the U.S.
Voluntary Departure
If remaining in the U.S. is not an option, we can assist with securing voluntary departure to avoid the harsh consequences of a removal order. This approach can help preserve your eligibility for future immigration benefits.
