Georgia Deportation Lawyer

Help with immigration removal proceedings

A removal case can have serious consequences for you and your family. The first step is to understand the government’s allegations, the stage of the case and any hearing or filing deadlines. Attorney Ned Ogueri can review the immigration record and explain potential defenses or applications for relief.

Criminal history and immigration consequences

Certain criminal convictions can affect immigration status, admissibility, eligibility for relief and detention. Immigration law uses its own definitions, including aggravated felony and crime involving moral turpitude. A state offense label does not, by itself, resolve the immigration question.

The relevant statute, conviction records, sentence and immigration history may all matter. An appeal, reduced charge or changed criminal disposition does not automatically eliminate immigration consequences. Seek a coordinated review of the criminal and immigration issues before entering a plea or relying on post-conviction relief.

Understanding the agencies and the case

USCIS handles many immigration benefit applications. Immigration courts are administered by the Executive Office for Immigration Review within the US Department of Justice. The process and available options depend on which agency or court has the matter.

Possible relief must be evaluated individually. Do not assume that filing an application guarantees release from detention, prevents removal or provides permission to work. Keep hearing notices and prior decisions, and obtain advice promptly if a deadline or hearing is approaching.
