Relief from deportation

There may be a way to avoid deportation, even if the a person has a criminal record. The law provides relief for:

  • 1) long term permanent residents who have not been convicted of certain serious felonies;
  • 2) persons who have been in the U.S. for a long period of time and can show that being forced to leave would cause serious hardship to their family members who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents;
  • 3) persons who would be subject to torture or other physical harm if they were returned to certain countries;
  • 4) persons who would be subject to persecution on account of political opinion, race, national origin, or membership in a particular social group; or
  • 5) in some limited situations, persons who are married to U.S. citizens or can qualify for permanent resident status.

The special circumstances that might allow a person to avoid removal are highly technical. An experienced immigration attorney should be consulted.
