A removal defense attorney represents a person in the immigration court case that could end in an order of removal. If you are not in detention, that case still moves on its own schedule, and missed dates carry real risk. AG Immigration Law P.A. focuses on removal defense, including asylum-related filings. This page explains how that work runs and what to do next.<\/p>\n

What Removal Defense for Non-Detained Asylum Seekers Means<\/h2>\n

Removal defense means representing you in removal proceedings. These are the cases the government brings to remove a person from the United States. The case starts with a notice to appear. That written notice lists the charges and the statutes the government says were violated (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Being out of detention does not stop the case. You must also provide a written record of any change to your address or telephone number immediately.<\/p>\n

First, you can file an affirmative application with USCIS. An asylum officer may refer that application to immigration court without an interview. This can happen when a bar applies, the claim is not eligible on the merits, or the case does not merit a grant as a matter of discretion (8 CFR 208.9<\/a>). Second, you can raise asylum as a defense before an immigration judge.<\/p>\n

Asylum generally must be filed within 1 year after you arrive in the United States. You must show that timing by clear and convincing evidence, unless a statutory exception applies (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1158<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This page is for people with a notice to appear or a hearing notice who are not in custody. It is also for family members helping them decide what to do. AG Immigration Law P.A. focuses on removal defense. Asylum is one part of that work, alongside adjustment of status, waivers, and BIA appeals.<\/p>\n\n
