Court Proceedings

Court proceedings are the most complex and evolving area of immigration law. We can assist you through these difficult times and work tirelessly to research and represent your case in every possible manner. Contact us immediately to learn your rights, obligations and anticipated results during these removal proceedings.
Initially, it is important to have an understanding of the numerous parts, players, actions and proceedings involved, for example:
- Prosecutor Discretion
- Executive Office For Immigration Review (EOIR)
- Notice to Appear (NTA)
- Master Calendar Hearing (MCH)
- Motion Practice
- Mandamus Action
- Individual Calendar Hearing (ICH)

- Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
- Immigration Appeals
- Extreme Hardship Waiver
- Provisional Unlawful Presence
During these Immigration proceedings the foreign national is best served by outlining specific applications or petitions he/she intends to request at the hearing as a form of relief or bar to removal and deportation. These requests take many forms and a qualified attorney is needed to analyze which are best suited to your case.
These can take the form of:
- Adjustment of Status
- Asylum
- Cancellation of Removal
- Convention Against Torture
- Deferred Enforcement Deferral
- Padilla Defense Claims
- Parole In Place (PIP)
- Refugee Status
- Temporary Protected Status
- Voluntary Departure
- Waiver of Admissibility
- Withholding of Removal
More than in most other areas of immigration law and immigration processes here it is important to remember that "with immigration nothing is as simple as it first appears". (sm)
