A Notice to Appear (“NTA”) issued to an individual acts as the charging document to commence removal proceedings (formerly called deportation proceedings).
While in removal proceedings, an individual may have certain relief available to avoid being ordered removed by an immigration judge.
The type of relief sought will depend on the specific facts of an individual’s life situation and immigration history.
Such relief may include the following:
- Asylum
- Withholding of Removal
- Protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT)
- Cancellation of Removal
- Waivers of Removal under INA Section 237(a)(1)(H)
- Adjustment of Status
- Naturalization
- Voluntary Departure
- Prosecutorial Discretion
