REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS
Removal proceedings, or deportation, typically include the following steps:
1. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issues a Notice to Appear (NTA).
2. The immigration court holds an Initial Hearing (Master Hearing), where DHS explains the
grounds for deportation.
3. The court conducts an Individual Hearing (Merit Hearing), allowing you to present
evidence for relief from removal.
4. The immigration judge makes a deportation decision.
5. Both you and DHS can appeal the judge’s decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).
6. If the appeal to the BIA is unsuccessful, you may appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
7. If the Federal Circuit Court denies the appeal, you can request a review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
