A removal defense lawyer can help you defend an asylum claim after you receive a Notice to Appear. Asylum can be raised as a defense to removal, and the rules are strict. This page explains how a non-detained asylum case works, step by step. You’ll learn the key deadlines, what representation covers, and what happens at each stage.<\/p>\n

What a Non-Detained Asylum Case in Immigration Court Involves<\/h2>\n

A non-detained asylum case is an asylum claim raised inside removal proceedings while you are not held in immigration custody.<\/p>\n

Removal proceedings start when the government asks an immigration judge to order you removed. The case begins with a Notice to Appear, a written notice that lists the charges and the court. The notice must also tell you that you may be represented by counsel (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Defensive asylum means you ask the immigration judge to grant asylum as your defense to removal. Section 208(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1158(a)(1)<\/a>) allows a noncitizen who is physically present in the United States, or who arrives in the United States, to apply for asylum regardless of immigration status, subject to the bars and exceptions listed in 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1158(a)(2)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This page is for two groups. The first is people who received a Notice to Appear or a hearing notice and are not in custody. 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a> reads: “In order that an alien be permitted the opportunity to secure counsel before the first hearing date in proceedings under section 1229a of this title, the hearing date shall not be scheduled earlier than 10 days after the service of the notice to appear, unless the alien requests in writing an earlier hearing date.” The second is family members trying to understand that case.<\/p>\n

Our practice focuses on removal defense. Asylum is one part of that work. We also handle adjustment of status, family petitions, naturalization, removal of conditions on green cards, waivers, and BIA appeals.<\/p>\n\n
