Receiving a Notice to Appear in immigration court is frightening — but it does not mean deportation is inevitable. Several legal defenses may apply, depending on the specific facts of your case.
Cancellation of removal can preserve status for certain lawful permanent residents and qualifying nonpermanent residents who meet residency, character, and hardship requirements. Asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture may apply for those who fear persecution or torture in their home country. Waivers may forgive certain grounds of inadmissibility or deportability, depending on the provision involved.
Other options — including adjustment of status, VAWA protection, U visas, and T visas — may also fit the circumstances. Even after an unfavorable decision, an appeal or motion to reopen may still be available, though these come with strict deadlines.
