WHAT IS A NOTICE TO APPEAR (NTA)?
Receiving a Notice to Appear (NTA) can be frightening, but it is important to understand what it means.
A Notice to Appear is the document issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that initiates removal (deportation) proceedings before an Immigration Judge.

An NTA typically contains:
✅ Allegations against you
✅ Immigration law violations being charged
✅ Immigration Court information
✅ Consequences of failing to appear

mportant: An NTA is not a criminal charge. It is a civil immigration proceeding.
Receiving an NTA does not automatically mean deportation. Many individuals may qualify for forms of relief such as:
• Adjustment of Status
• Asylum
• Cancellation of Removal
• Waivers
• VAWA, U Visa, or T Visa relief
• Other immigration benefits
Never ignore an NTA. Missing your Immigration Court hearing could result in an in absentia removal order, making it much more difficult to remain in or return to the United States.
If you or a loved one receives a Notice to Appear, seek legal advice immediately to understand your rights, defenses, and available options.
Knowledge is power. Understanding the process is the first step toward protecting your future.

Visa Revocation Does Not Always Mean a Crime Was Committed
Recent news regarding the revocation of a Philippine public official’s U.S. visas has generated significant public interest. As a U.S. immigration attorney, I would caution against jumping to conclusions.
Under U.S. immigration law, the Department of State has broad authority to revoke nonimmigrant visas for a variety of reasons, including changes in eligibility, foreign policy considerations, security concerns, or other information that may not be publicly disclosed. In many cases, the actual reason remains confidential.

It is important to remember that a visa revocation is not, by itself, proof of wrongdoing or criminal conduct.

As more information becomes available, immigration practitioners and the public should rely on verified facts rather than speculation.

DHS Proposes New Restrictions on Work Authorization
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed a new rule that could significantly impact certain noncitizens seeking or renewing work permits in the United States.
If finalized, the proposal may require some applicants to:
✅ Prove that employment is an economic necessity
✅ Demonstrate that their case warrants a favorable exercise of discretion
✅ Work only for employers enrolled in E-Verify
The proposed changes could affect individuals who were:
• Paroled into the United States
• Granted Deferred Action
• Released under an Order of Supervision
The rule is currently in the proposal stage and will be subject to a 60-day public comment period before any final decision is made.
Important: This is NOT a final rule. Individuals with pending or approved work authorization should continue to monitor developments and consult with qualified immigration counsel regarding how these proposed changes may affect their cases.
Immigration laws and policies continue to evolve. Staying informed is the best way to protect your rights and plan for the future.Flomy Javier Diza, Partner

ThrowbackThursday
Back in 2010, Reeves Immigration Law Group was reaching immigrant communities through newspaper advertisements and television, long before social media became the primary source of information. One memorable milestone was The Immigration Experts, a television program hosted by actor Troy Montero that aired on local television stations and featured Reeves partners discussing real immigration issues, strategies, and solutions for families and businesses.
Proud to look back at those early days of public education and community outreach. More than 15 years later, our mission remains the same: providing trusted immigration guidance, advocating for our clients, and helping families achieve the American Dream.
From newspaper ads to television, from radio programs to social media, we continue to stand by immigrants every step of the way.

San Diego, California – June 17-20, 2026 — Reeves Immigration Law Group proudly announces the participation of two of its partners in the 2026 Annual Conference of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), the nation’s premier gathering of immigration law professionals.

The 2026 AILA Annual Conference, held in San Diego, California, is expected to bring together thousands of immigration attorneys, law professors, judges, government officials, paralegals, law students, exhibitors, and industry leaders from across the United States and around the world. The conference serves as a forum for advancing immigration law practice, discussing emerging trends, and strengthening professional collaboration within the immigration law community.

Partner Attorney Flomy Javier Diza, a California State Bar Certified Specialist in Immigration and Nationality Law, served as a member of the conference’s prestigious Family Track Committee. In this leadership role, Attorney Diza has collaborated with fellow committee members in identifying critical family-based immigration topics, developing educational programming, and recommending nationally recognized speakers for conference presentations.

“AILA’s Annual Conference provides an invaluable opportunity for immigration professionals to share knowledge, discuss emerging challenges, and develop strategies that better serve immigrant communities,” said Attorney Diza. “I am honored to contribute to the Family Track and help shape educational programs that support attorneys practicing in this evolving area of law.”

In addition, Reeves Immigration Law Group Partner Attorney Ben Loveman, also a California State Bar Certified Specialist in Immigration and Nationality Law, will serve as a featured panelist in the intermediate-to-advanced session titled “Complex Affidavits of Support (Form I-864).”

The panel will address sophisticated issues surrounding the I-864 Affidavit of Support, including:

• Effective calculation and documentation of assets to meet financial sponsorship requirements
• Best practices when working with joint sponsors and household members through Form I-864A
• The importance of complete tax return submissions and avoiding common pitfalls that lead to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and denials
• Strategies for addressing public charge concerns in family-based immigration cases
• Leveraging 40 quarters of qualifying work history
• Ethical and practical considerations when advising sponsors and joint sponsors

Attorney Loveman will join an esteemed panel of immigration practitioners, including Anthony Drago Jr. of Boston, Massachusetts, and Steven Thal of Minnetonka, Minnesota.

The participation of Attorneys Diza and Loveman reflects Reeves Immigration Law Group’s ongoing commitment to professional excellence, legal education, and advocacy on behalf of immigrants and their families.

Founded in 1980, Reeves Immigration Law Group is one of the nation’s largest immigration law firms, providing comprehensive immigration services to individuals, families, and businesses throughout the United States and abroad.

BREAKING IMMIGRATION UPDATE
President Trump recently signed an executive order directing federal regulators to increase scrutiny of certain banking and financial activities involving non-citizens. The order does not automatically close bank accounts, but it may result in stricter identification and due diligence requirements in the future.
Because implementation will depend on future regulations and agency guidance, many questions remain unanswered. Legal challenges are also possible.
If you are an immigrant, visa holder, permanent resident, DACA recipient, TPS holder, or mixed-status family, stay informed and avoid making decisions based solely on social media rumors.

Throwback to the AILA Conference in New Orleans with immigration law legend and author Ira J. Kurzban.
Like many immigration attorneys, I have relied on his writings and legal insights throughout my career. His dedication to advancing immigrant rights and shaping immigration law has left an enduring impact on our profession.

Grateful for the opportunity to share a meaningful conversation with one of the most influential figures in immigration law. Moments like these remind us that our work is not only about cases and statutes, but also about the people, mentors, and advocates who inspire us to continue fighting for justice.
