Understanding Removal Proceedings and Immigration Law
Immigration law is a federal matter governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.) and Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Removal proceedings are formal court processes initiated by the Department of Homeland Security to determine if a non-citizen should be deported from the United States. These proceedings are heard before an immigration judge at the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). For Greene County residents, removal cases are typically heard at the Arlington Immigration Court located at 1901 South Bell Street, Arlington, VA 22202. An immigration court lawyer Greene County can represent you in this high-stakes process.
