What should I do if I receive a Notice to Appear (NTA)?

Do not ignore it. You must attend your scheduled immigration court hearing. Contact an immigration lawyer immediately. We’ll help you understand the charges and your options to respond properly.

Can I still fight my case if I’m already in ICE custody?

Yes. Many people in custody are still eligible for relief. We can request bond, challenge the grounds for detention, and represent you throughout the process.

What types of relief might be available to avoid removal?

You may qualify for asylum, cancellation of removal, family-based adjustment, or other protections. We’ll help evaluate your eligibility and file the correct forms.

Can my family attend immigration court with me?

In most cases, yes—family members can support you in court, though only attorneys may speak. We’ll walk your family through what to expect.

What happens if my case is denied?

Depending on your situation, we may be able to appeal the decision, file a motion to reopen, or explore other legal pathways. Timing is crucial, so contact us right away.
