If you are detained at the airport as a non-citizen but you had a visa, such as a B or F nonimmigrant visa, you may have your visa revoked and be issued with an expedited order of removal. This means you are barred from entering the US for five years. While there is no appeal for an expedited removal order, you should seek help from an experienced Chicago removal proceeding immigration attorney once you return to your home country. If you are a U.S. resident (green card holder) and are detained at the airport, the most common reasons for the detention are typically either you (1) have left the country for longer than six months; (2) have involved in illegal activities within or outside of the U.S., (3) have abandoned your U.S. residency or (4) have committed a felony or crime of moral turpitude. Again, in such situations, you or a family member should contact an experienced Chicago deportation defense immigration lawyer to protect your immigration rights. While you will not likely be immediately removed, you will likely be issued a Notice to Appear (NTA) which states the reasons for the deportation. At this point, you should seek immediate assistance from an experienced Chicago deportation immigration attorney or call 773-687-0549 or contact Cipolla Law Group online for a consultation.
