Helping You Fight To Escape Deportation

The possibility of being forced to leave the life you’ve created in the United States brings about feelings of panic, desperation and hopelessness. But hope isn’t entirely lost. There are legal remedies that could allow you to remain in the place you’ve made your home. At David F. Vedder, P.A., our attorneys create potent immigration defenses for members of our community in Daytona Beach.

What Do I Do If I Received A Notice To Appear?

A Notice to Appear (NTA) is a court document that explains why a person is being threatened with deportation and orders them to go to immigration court.

If you receive an NTA, contact an attorney right away. The experienced immigration attorneys at David F. Vedder, P.A., are here to help you. The earlier a legal professional intervenes, the more options will be available and the better you’ll be prepared for the court hearing.

Why Am I Being Threatened With Deportation?

Multiple things could lead to a person being threatened with removal from the country. Common reasons for deportation include:

  • Entering the country unlawfully
  • Entering the country lawfully but overstaying what their status allows
  • Being accused of a crime
  • Being suspected of immigration fraud

Many more violations could lead to deportation, but they usually fall within the categories above.

Can Deported Immigrants Return To The U.S.?

Immigrants may be permitted to return after deportation under certain conditions, but the process is typically complex and challenging. First, they must apply for permission to reapply for admission (Form I-212). The application must demonstrate significant reasons for the return, such as family ties or employment opportunities.

Further, if the deportation occurred due to a criminal conviction or serious offense, the individual may need to apply for a waiver of inadmissibility (Form I-601). To qualify for the waiver, the person must prove that their return would benefit the nation or that their absence would cause extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member.

Navigating the process of seeking readmission requires thorough documentation and can benefit substantially from legal assistance. Consulting with an immigration attorney can help ensure all requirements are met and increase the chances of a successful application.

Where Are People Held During Removal Proceedings?

While removal proceedings are underway, individuals are typically held in detention centers. In Florida, detainees are often held in the Baker County Detention Center near Daytona Beach. It is located in the Baker County Sheriff’s Office at this address:

Baker County Detention Center

1 Sheriff’s Office Drive, Macclenny, FL 32063

In addition, there are three other detention facilities throughout Florida:

  • Krome North Service Processing Center in Miami
  • Broward Transitional Center in Pompano Beach
  • Glades County Detention Center in Moore Haven

If you need assistance finding a loved one being detained by ICE in a Florida detention facility, we can help. With our considerable experience with the immigration detention system, we can:

  • Use our legal resources to locate the detainee
  • Communicate with ICE for information and updates about their status
  • Help to arrange communication between the detainee and their family
  • Provide guidance and advice on the detainee’s rights and options
  • Advocate for the release of the detainee

We can also provide effective representation during any necessary hearings or formal proceedings. That means having someone to ensure your rights remain intact and your voice is heard.

Is It Possible To Prevent Deportation?

Absolutely. At David F. Vedder, P.A., our attorneys have helped accomplish this. There are a number of legal strategies that can help people threatened with deportation stay in the country, including:

  • Having one’s immigration status adjusted
  • Being granted asylum
  • Gaining protection under the United Nations Convention against Torture
  • Disproving allegations of criminal activity
  • A lack of adequate evidence
  • A withholding or cancellation of removal

Don’t lose hope. Legal intervention can and does help people avoid removal.
