That is the court case where the government asks an immigration judge to order the person removed from the United States. Removal defense covers the notice to appear, every hearing, the evidence, any application for relief, and an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) if the decision goes against you. This page explains how that work runs and which deadlines matter most.<\/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 a notice to appear or a removal order just arrived, you don&#x27;t have to work out the dates alone.

It is a court case, so it works differently from a form sent to an agency.<\/p>\n<p>Removal proceedings start with a notice to appear. The law requires that notice to list the acts alleged to violate the law, the charges, and the statutes involved. It must also say you may be represented by counsel (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>A person in these proceedings can be charged with any applicable ground of inadmissibility or deportability (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229a\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229a<\/a>). The government picks the reasons it says you can be removed. Your defense answers each one.<\/p>\n<p>This service fits people who received a notice to appear, a hearing notice, or a removal order. It also fits families who need someone to step in quickly. Adriana Gomez is the responsible lawyer for this page.<\/p>\n<h2>What Representation Covers in Your Case<\/h2>\n<p>Representation covers the charges, the relief that may be available, the filings, and hearing preparation. Each part turns on your own record, so the work starts with your documents.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Review of the charges.<\/strong> Some convictions can make a person deportable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Relief options.<\/strong> Cancellation of removal, asylum, and adjustment of status each have strict rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asylum timing.<\/strong> An asylum application generally must be filed within one year after arrival in the United States, and the applicant must demonstrate this by clear and convincing evidence (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1158\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1158<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Documents and evidence.<\/strong> Common records include birth and marriage certificates, tax returns, work history, and proof of family ties.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hearing preparation.<\/strong> You may be represented at the hearing by an attorney or other qualified representative (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1240.3\">8 CFR \u00a7 1240.3<\/a>). Preparation includes planning testimony and how to question government witnesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How the Case Works: Steps and Timeline<\/h2>\n<p>A removal case moves from the notice to appear, to a first hearing, to an individual hearing, and then to a decision you can appeal.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Intake and paid consultation.<\/strong> You share the notice, your immigration history, and any criminal or travel record. Consultations are paid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hearing date.<\/strong> The first hearing cannot be set earlier than 10 days after the notice is served, unless 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>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pleadings.<\/strong> The judge requires you to admit or deny the factual allegations and the charges (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1240.10\">8 CFR \u00a7 1240.10<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Relief and evidence.<\/strong> Applications and evidence are prepared on the court&#8217;s schedule.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Individual hearing.<\/strong> The judge hears testimony and evidence, then issues a decision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Appeal or motions.<\/strong> An unfavorable decision can be appealed to the BIA only by a party covered by the decision who is specifically named on the Notice of Appeal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>How long each stage takes depends on the court&#8217;s docket and the relief you request.<\/p>\n<h2>Deadlines That Can Make or Break a Removal Case<\/h2>\n<p>The most urgent deadlines are the BIA appeal clock, the asylum appeal rule, and your hearing dates. Missing one can close off options.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>BIA appeal filing.<\/strong> An appeal is taken by filing Form EOIR-26 directly with the Board (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.3\">8 CFR \u00a7 1003.3<\/a>). It moves to the next business day if it falls on a weekend or legal holiday (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.38\">8 CFR \u00a7 1003.38<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Issues must be raised.<\/strong> Any issue not raised in the notice of appeal is treated as waived (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.38\">8 CFR \u00a7 1003.38<\/a>). The notice must name the findings or legal conclusions you challenge (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.3\">8 CFR \u00a7 1003.3<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Missed hearings.<\/strong> The judge can order removal in absentia if the government proves by clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence that you are removable and that written notice of the time and place of the proceedings and of the consequences of failure to appear was given (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.26\">8 CFR \u00a7 1003.26<\/a>). Notice sent to your most recent address can be enough, so keep that address current.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Write every date down the day a notice arrives. Early tracking protects each deadline.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Work With AG Immigration Law P.A.<\/h2>\n<p>AG Immigration Law P.A. focuses on removal defense and related immigration matters.
