FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Deportation Defense: Common Questions

What is a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court?
A Notice to Appear is the document that initiates removal proceedings. It is filed by DHS with the immigration court and formally charges you with being removable. Receiving an NTA means you must appear before an immigration judge. Do not ignore it — missing a hearing will result in an automatic removal order.
Yes. After an immigration judge orders removal, you generally have 30 days to appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). If the BIA upholds the order, federal circuit court review may be available. Deadlines are strict — act immediately.
Voluntary departure allows eligible individuals to leave the U.S. by a set date without a formal removal order on record. This preserves eligibility for future immigration benefits that a removal order could permanently bar.
ICE detainees have the right to an immigration hearing, the right to retain an attorney at their own expense, the right to contact their country’s consulate, and the right to appeal. An attorney can also request a bond hearing to seek release from detention while the case proceeds.
