If you have been detained by immigration, in all likelihood there is an order for your arrest and deportation:

1.   Take into consideration my five essential points that will
determine the result of your case. Your intention, good faith, admissibility, preparation and power of discretion.

2.    Do not do the case yourself;

3.   See the help of an attorney with plenty of experience in immigration.

4.   Do not go to Immigration, until the arrest order has been removed, the deportation process has been stopped and your legal representative has authorized it.

5.   These cases are not easy; nobody can guarantee a positive result and take a long time. For this reason, you should be considerate with the legal representative that is assisting you.

6.   For an immigrant to get permanent residency, an Immigration Judge must cancel the order of arrest and deportation.

7.    Make sure your arrest record is investigated.

8.   Depending on your case, a document known as a “joint motion to re-open or re-consider your deportation” must be carefully prepared by a competent professional.

9.   Before submitting the motion in front of the judge, it’s important to get the prosecutor to agree to the case in order to strengthen your motion. This takes time, because there have to be reunions with the prosecutors explain them your situation and get them to support your motion. Once this is achieved, the motion is present to the judge and must get the deportation officials to stop your arrest order, until the judge takes a favorable decision for your motion.

10. Once the Immigration Judge has removed your order of deportation, you will be allowed to continue with the normal process for your permanent residence.

Remember that there is always much more to analyze before formulating a legal strategy.
