Removal Defense

Removal Defense & Immigration Court

Receiving a Notice to Appear (Form I-862) means the government has started removal proceedings against you in immigration court. It is not a final decision, and it is not the end of the road. Many people in proceedings qualify for relief that allows them to remain in the United States, and some cases can be terminated outright. What matters is that the case is prepared properly, filed on time, and supported by the right evidence.

The Law Office of Muhammed Kus PLLC represents clients before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) — including the immigration courts in New York and Baltimore — and before the Board of Immigration Appeals. Türkçe hizmet verilmektedir.

Master Calendar and Individual Hearings:
We appear with you at every stage, from the master calendar hearing where pleadings are taken through the individual merits hearing where your case is decided. We take pleadings carefully, identify every form of relief you may qualify for, and build the record the judge needs.
Cancellation of Removal:
Lawful permanent residents (Form EOIR-42A) and certain non-permanent residents (Form EOIR-42B) may be able to have removal cancelled based on continuous physical presence, good moral character, and — for non-LPRs — exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative. These cases are evidence-intensive, and we build them accordingly.
Bond Hearings for Detained Clients:
If a family member is in ICE custody, a bond hearing may allow them to fight the case from home rather than from detention. We move quickly on detained matters, assembling sponsor letters, proof of community ties, and the equities that address flight risk and danger to the community.
Adjustment of Status Before the Immigration Judge:
Where an approved or approvable family petition exists, the green card application can often be filed and decided in court. We coordinate the USCIS petition and the court filing so that both move together.
Motions to Reopen and Motions to Reconsider:
If you were ordered removed in absentia because you never received notice, or if new facts or a change in the law affect your eligibility, a motion to reopen may be available. The deadlines are short and strictly enforced, so early review matters.
Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals:
An unfavorable decision from an immigration judge can generally be appealed to the BIA within 30 days. We review the decision for legal and factual error and prepare a detailed appellate brief. In a recent matter, the BIA reversed our client’s removal order and remanded the case for further proceedings.
Termination, Dismissal, and Administrative Closure:
Not every case has to be litigated to a final decision. Where the facts support it, we pursue termination, dismissal, or administrative closure so that relief can be pursued with USCIS instead.
Voluntary Departure:
Where relief is not available, voluntary departure can avoid some of the long-term consequences that follow a removal order and preserve future options. We advise honestly about when this is the right strategic choice.

Our Commitment:

Removal defense is time-sensitive. Missing a hearing can result in an in absentia removal order, and a missed filing deadline can permanently close off relief that would otherwise have been available. We return calls, we file on time, and we tell you clearly where your case stands — including when the news is not what you were hoping to hear.

If you or a family member has a hearing scheduled, has been detained by ICE, or has already been ordered removed, contact us as soon as possible so that we can review your options. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes; every case turns on its own facts.
