Deportation can be a traumatic and lonely moment in life.
Immigrants who are being threatened with deportation back to their home countries or exclusion from the United States often feel like they have no one on their side. Nothing could be further from the truth.
At Margaret W. Wong & Associates, LLC, our lawyers have devoted themselves to defending people in removal proceedings throughout the United States. Our attorneys will vigorously defend you every step of the way.
There are specific reasons that the government initiates deportation proceedings. If you face criminal allegations or violate the terms of your visa, for instance by overstaying your visa, the Department of Homeland Security may choose to begin an investigation. Rest assured that they cannot just decide to deport you or do so because someone threatens to get you deported. Our attorneys ensure that they follow appropriate protocol for every investigation.
After a person is arrested or undergoes an investigation, a removal proceeding is scheduled to determine whether he or she will be deported. The immigrant receives a “Notice to Appear” (NTA) from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of the federal government’s Department of Homeland Security. This begins the formal legal process with the courts.
Asylum protections include both the legal status that allows you to remain in the United States as well as access to a wide network of social support systems that can help you adjust to life here. This can include substantial help with housing, education, work training and more.

A criminal act, especially a violent one, puts your immigration status at risk. Depending on the details of the allegation, you may be at risk for deportation pending your charges. Along with our many years of experience as immigration deportation lawyers, we also have tremendous experience in all kinds of criminal cases.
