The case starts with a <a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/us\/usc\/119-121\/t8\/s1229\/\">notice to appear<\/a>, a written notice that lists the charges and the time and place of the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Removal defense is different from a routine immigration application.<\/p>\n<p>You may need removal defense if you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>received a notice to appear<\/li>\n<li>have a removal case already pending<\/li>\n<li>are detained or released while your case moves forward<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adriana Gomez is the responsible lawyer for this page. The firm focuses on removal defense.<\/p>\n<h2>What Representation Includes<\/h2>\n<p>Representation means we handle the filings and hearings in your case, not just give advice. A lawyer who enters an appearance using Form EOIR-28 becomes the practitioner of record and must appear in immigration court, file documents, and accept service for the respondent; a limited appearance for document help using Form EOIR-61 does not carry those duties (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.17\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.17<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Our removal defense services include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Entering an appearance and filing documents with the immigration court, electronically where required (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.31\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.31<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Reviewing the notice to appear and the charges, and deciding how to respond to them<\/li>\n<li>Identifying relief that may fit, such as cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, or waivers, and preparing applications where the facts support them<\/li>\n<li>Representing you at master calendar and individual merits hearings<\/li>\n<li>Appealing an immigration judge&#8217;s decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each form of relief has its own rules. We review your history before choosing a path.<\/p>\n<p>Timing matters.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Process Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>A removal case moves from intake to filings, then to hearings, and sometimes to appeal. Here is the usual path.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Intake and document review.<\/strong> Bring your notice to appear, any court papers, and your immigration records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Case assessment.<\/strong> We explain the relief that may be available and put the options in writing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Notice of representation.<\/strong> We file the entry of appearance and build your case file.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Master calendar hearing.<\/strong> The judge asks whether you admit or deny the allegations and the charges. Admissions can settle removability when the respondent admits the factual allegations and admits removability under the charges and the immigration judge is satisfied that no issues of law or fact remain (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1240.10\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1240.10<\/a>), except that the immigration judge shall not accept an admission of removability from an unrepresented respondent who is incompetent or under the age of 18 and is not accompanied by an attorney or legal representative, a near relative, legal guardian, or friend; nor from an officer of an institution in which a respondent is an inmate or patient.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Individual merits hearing.<\/strong> Evidence is presented and testimony is given.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Appeal.<\/strong> If an immigration judge&#8217;s decision in removal proceedings is contested, it may be appealed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.1\">Board of Immigration Appeals<\/a>, which has appellate jurisdiction over decisions of immigration judges in removal proceedings, as provided in 8 CFR part 1240, except that no appeal lies seeking review of the length of a period of voluntary departure granted under section 240B of the Act or part 240 of this chapter (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.1\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.1(b)(3)<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The first hearing cannot be set earlier than 10 days after the notice to appear is served. The exception is when you ask for an earlier date in writing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a>). How long each stage takes depends on the facts of your case and the court&#8217;s calendar.<\/p>\n<h2>Preparing Non-Detained Clients for Master and Individual Hearings<\/h2>\n<p>Preparation starts with your address and your calendar. Missing a notice or a hearing can end a case early.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep your address current.<\/strong> If you must register, federal law requires written notice of each address change within ten days (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1305\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1305<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gather evidence early.<\/strong> Collect identity records, proof of family and residence, and employment and tax records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expect corroboration.<\/strong> When an immigration judge determines that you should provide evidence that corroborates otherwise credible testimony, that evidence must be provided unless you demonstrate that you do not have it and cannot reasonably obtain it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare testimony.<\/strong> Judges weigh whether testimony is credible, consistent, and supported by the record. We practice questions with you before the hearing so you know what to expect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Track deadlines.<\/strong> If a filing is not made by the time the judge sets, the chance to file it is deemed waived (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.31\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.31<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Good preparation is steady, not last-minute. Start your evidence list when the notice arrives, and keep copies of every filing.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Work With Our Team<\/h2>\n<p>Adriana Gomez is the responsible lawyer for this page.
