4 Keys to Not Worry About Immigration Deportations
These are four keys you should keep in mind and hold in your mind and heart every day:
1. You have lived in the United States for more than 10 years
If you have lived in the United States for more than 10 years, you should not worry about deportations, since you are not a priority.
2. You have a clean record and good moral conduct
If you have a clean record and good moral conduct, you should not worry either, because you are not a priority for deportation.
3. Demonstrate your good moral character
Demonstrate your good moral character by fulfilling your responsibilities, such as filing your taxes every year, paying child support, among other obligations. All of this helps show that you are doing things correctly in the United States.
4. You do not have encounters with the police
If you do not have encounters with the police, do not get into trouble, and do not have a criminal record, the risk of deportation is even lower.
Now, it is normal to feel concerned. We all watch the news, check Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and, from one news story, jump to another, which generates anxiety. Instead of worrying, focus on doing something productive. Do not stop your life because of alarmist trends about deportations.
If at any time you face a situation with immigration, remember your rights:
- Ask to see a lawyer.
- Do not sign anything without legal advice.
- Do not answer questions without the presence of a lawyer.
- Request to see an immigration judge.
Remember that regardless of your legal status in the country, you have rights and it is important to exercise them! And only you yourself can take them away when you allow them to be taken away. We are Progresso Legal Group and we have been serving one family at a time.
