If you received an asylum referral and are not in custody, you still have hearings to attend, and each one matters. This page explains what the service covers, how the process works, and what to ask before you hire a lawyer. AG Immigration Law P.A. focuses its practice on removal defense and related immigration matters.<\/p>\n<h2>What Removal Defense Means After a Non-Detained Asylum Referral<\/h2>\n<p>Removal defense is legal representation in immigration court when the government seeks to remove, or deport, you. An asylum referral is one way a case reaches that court.<\/p>\n<p>Non-detained means you are not held in custody. You live in the community and must attend each hearing at the immigration court. Your Notice to Appear (NTA) is the charging paper. A notice to appear generally lists the charges against you, the statutory provisions the government says you violated, and the time and place of your hearing.<\/p>\n<p>This service is for people in Florida, including Broward County, who received an asylum referral or an NTA and want a lawyer to handle the case.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your asylum referral or Notice to Appear has a hearing date coming up, you don&#x27;t have to face it alone; contact us to book a paid consultation. Talk it through with our team &#8212; we can walk you through how a situation like yours is usually handled and what your options are.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+19546413445\">Schedule a consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/abogadaadrianagomez.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/young-woman-in-formal-business-attire-with-a-name-tag-carryi-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman in formal attire holding folders as she walks down stone steps past columns of a stone building.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>What the Removal Defense Service Covers<\/h2>\n<p>The service covers your court work from the first filing through each hearing. It also covers the options that follow a decision.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Review of your papers.<\/strong> We check the charges, the filing date, and the hearing location and time on your NTA or referral.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Entering your appearance.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.17\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.17<\/a> says a practitioner files Form EOIR-28 to become the practitioner of record. That attorney appears in court, files documents, and accepts service of papers for you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asylum application and evidence.<\/strong> We prepare the asylum application and supporting evidence. You review everything before it is filed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hearings.<\/strong> We attend each scheduled hearing in immigration court.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green card review.<\/strong> A pending adjustment of status case (Form I-485) follows its own rules. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1255\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a> says adjustment is discretionary. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1208.14\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1208.14<\/a>, an asylum applicant who becomes a permanent resident may get notice that the asylum case is presumed abandoned. If you want the asylum application decided anyway, you must send a written request within 30 days of the notice; otherwise it may be presumed abandoned and dismissed without prejudice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Appeals and waivers.<\/strong> After an adverse decision, options may include a waiver and an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.38\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.38<\/a> says that in asylum cases where the immigration judge did not deny the application under 208(a)(2)(A), (B), or (C) of the Act, Form EOIR-26 must be filed directly with the Board within 30 calendar days of the immigration judge&#8217;s decision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How the Process Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>The process starts with a paid consultation. It then moves to filing, preparation, and hearings.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Reach the office.<\/strong> Tell us about your referral or NTA by phone, WhatsApp, or the contact form. Share your next hearing date.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paid consultation.<\/strong> We review your papers, your immigration history, and possible relief. Fees are discussed at this meeting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Filing your appearance.<\/strong> After you engage us, we file Form EOIR-28. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.31\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.31<\/a> says attorneys must file electronically in cases eligible for electronic filing. If a filing misses the deadline the judge sets, the chance to file it is deemed waived.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preparing the asylum application.<\/strong> Timing matters. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1208.4\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1208.4<\/a> counts the one-year asylum filing period from your last arrival in the United States or April 1, 1997, whichever is later. The rule has exceptions, so we review your dates early.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hearings.<\/strong> Your first hearing cannot be set earlier than 10 days after the NTA is served. You can ask in writing for an earlier date. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a> also requires you to keep your address and phone number current with the government.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Timelines depend on the court&#8217;s docket and the facts of your case. We set expectations after the first review. If a matter may be referred to another lawyer or firm, we will say so at the start.<\/p>\n<h2>Immigration Cases for Readers in Broward County<\/h2>\n<p>AG Immigration Law P.A. focuses its practice on removal defense and related immigration matters. The firm also handles the steps that often follow.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related practice areas.<\/strong> The firm handles adjustment of status, family petitions, naturalization, removal of conditions on green cards, waivers, and BIA appeals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A named responsible lawyer.<\/strong> Adriana Gomez is the responsible lawyer for this page.
