It gives you a clear view of your options before you decide what to do next. This page covers what the meeting includes, what it costs, who attends, what to bring, and how to book. If you received a Notice to Appear, the next steps matter now.<\/p>\n<h2>What a removal defense consultation is and who it is for<\/h2>\n<p>A removal defense consultation is a paid meeting to review your situation when removal proceedings have started or may start. Removal proceedings are the court process that decides whether a person must leave the United States. A notice to appear in removal proceedings must state the charges against the person and the time and place of the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>This meeting suits three kinds of readers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People who received a Notice to Appear or a hearing notice.<\/li>\n<li>People who have a removal order, or who were told one could be entered.<\/li>\n<li>Family members who worry about a relative in immigration court.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Consultations are scheduled through the office. Legal strategy comes from attorney review. A respondent may be represented at a hearing by an attorney or other representative qualified under 8 CFR part 1292, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1240.3\">8 CFR 1240.3<\/a> states.<\/p>\n<p>Our practice focuses on removal defense. We also handle adjustment of status, family petitions, naturalization, removal of conditions on green cards, waivers, and BIA appeals.<\/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 you have a Notice to Appear or a hearing date ahead, those dates may come quickly, so contact our team now to book your removal defense 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\/11\/two-senior-professionals-review-business-documents-together-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Two senior professionals review business documents together beside an office window.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>What the paid consultation covers<\/h2>\n<p>The consultation looks at your facts, your papers, and the dates that could affect your case. It is built around what you bring, so the time goes to your own situation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your history:<\/strong> entries into the United States, prior filings, and any approvals or denials you have received.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your papers:<\/strong> the Notice to Appear, hearing notices, and any letters from DHS or the immigration court.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Possible relief:<\/strong> the forms of relief your facts may raise, such as adjustment of status, waivers, and family petitions. Eligibility depends on your own record.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Key dates:<\/strong> your next hearing and any deadline printed on your papers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The process:<\/strong> how hearings work, what a decision means, and when an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) may be possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fit:<\/strong> whether your matter belongs with our practice. If it may be referred to another lawyer or firm, we will tell you directly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The meeting ends with a clear decision point. You will know your next steps, and you decide whether to move forward with the office.<\/p>\n<h2>What the consultation costs and what else you may owe<\/h2>\n<p>The removal defense consultation is a paid service. Ask the office for the current fee when you book.<\/p>\n<p>Government fees are a separate cost. For example, a Notice of Appeal to the BIA must come with the required fee or an Appeal Fee Waiver Request (Form EOIR-26A). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.38\">8 CFR 1003.38<\/a> says that if neither is filed on time, the appeal is not properly filed. Ask the office which government fees may apply to your matter.<\/p>\n<p>The office explains payment terms when you book. Any later representation terms would be set out separately from the consultation.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens step by step, and what to bring<\/h2>\n<p>A removal defense consultation starts with one contact to the office and ends with a plan you understand. Here is the usual path.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Contact the office.<\/strong> Use the contact form, call, or message on WhatsApp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book and pay.<\/strong> Confirm the date and the consultation fee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gather documents.<\/strong> Use the checklist below.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meet.<\/strong> You meet with the office as scheduled. Legal strategy comes from attorney review.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decide.<\/strong> You receive a plain explanation of your options and dates, then choose whether to move forward.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Bring these documents if you have them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Notice to Appear or any other charging papers<\/li>\n<li>Hearing notices and letters from DHS or the immigration court<\/li>\n<li>Your passport, travel documents, and any entry record, such as an I-94<\/li>\n<li>Prior applications, approvals, and denials<\/li>\n<li>An interpreter, if you need one<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check these dates first:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your next hearing.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a> says the first hearing cannot be set earlier than 10 days after the notice is served, unless you ask in writing for an earlier date.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Any appeal deadline.<\/strong> A Notice of Appeal from a Decision of an Immigration Judge (Form EOIR-26) must be filed directly with the Board of Immigration Appeals within 10 calendar days of the Immigration Judge&#8217;s decision, except that in cases where an Immigration Judge has adjudicated an asylum application and did not deny the application under 208(a)(2)(A), (B), or (C) of the Act, it must be filed within 30 calendar days, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.38\">8 CFR 1003.38<\/a>. Any issue not raised in that notice is deemed waived.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Timing matters. Missed dates and missed filings are among the most common ways people lose options they could have kept. Book soon if a date is close.<\/p>\n<h2>Why clients work with AG Immigration Law P.A.<\/h2>\n<p>AG Immigration Law P.A. concentrates its work in removal defense and six related immigration areas.
