If You Have Been Placed in Detention
If you or a loved one has been placed in jail due to an immigration offense, we may be able to help get your loved one out of jail and apply for the appropriate form of relief that would allow him/her to stay in the country permanently.
Typically, the Department of Removal Operations (DRO) will review an alien’s detention status after he or she has been in detention for 90 days to determine whether the alien may be released. Primarily DRO will want to know that the detainee is not a danger to the community and will not present a flight risk. Some factors that DRO will consider are the alien’s:
- Criminal convictions and criminal conduct
- Immigration history
- History of escapes, failures to appear for judicial or other proceedings
- Disciplinary problems while incarcerated
- Evidence of rehabilitative effort or recidivism
- Equities in the United States
- Cooperation in obtaining travel documents
- Any available mental health reports
- Medical condition
Beach-Oswald Immigration Law Associates can help you or your loved one effectively handle the traumatic ordeal of being placed in detention, and will fight to get you out of jail. |
