Are there any special exceptions for a child who is in removal proceedings?
Yes, there are special exceptions in place for children who are in removal proceedings in Utah. Under the Child Citizen Protection Act, a child who is in removal proceedings can apply for relief from removal by filing a motion to terminate the proceedings. This motion must be accompanied by supporting evidence such as a birth certificate, school records, and evidence of the child’s immigration status. In many cases, the child will also need to show that he or she is not a danger to the community and has not committed any serious crimes. The court will then consider all the evidence presented, including any mitigating factors, to determine if the child should be granted a stay of removal. If the court grants the stay, the child can remain in the United States and avoid deportation. In addition, the child may be able to apply for legal residency or citizenship. Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, some child immigrants may also be able to apply for special immigration relief. This relief allows children who have been victims of human trafficking to remain in the United States and apply for a visa. An immigration lawyer can help a child who is in removal proceedings to determine if he or she is eligible for any of these special exceptions.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.En Utah, existen excepciones especiales para los niños que están en proceso de remoción. Esta excepción se llama el programa de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA). DACA fue creado para proporcionar alivio temporal de la remoción a los niños inmigrantes que ingresaron ilegalmente a Estados Unidos. Con la aprobación de DACA, un niño inmigrante puede recibir un permiso de trabajo y una exención temporal de la remoción. Como regla general, los menores de edad también tienen derecho a una audiencia de cierre de los casos de remoción. Esta audiencia permite al niño defenderse contra el cargo de remoción. Si el niño especialmente vulnerable debido a la edad, necesidad médica o circunstancias de su caso, el tribunal de inmigración también puede ofrecer una exención temporal de la remoción. Los niños inmigrantes también tienen la opción de aplicar para la residencia permanente si cumplen con los requisitos adecuados. Además, hay organizaciones sin fines de lucro en Utah que ofrecen asesoramiento legal gratuito para los niños de bajos recursos que están en proceso de remoción. Estas organizaciones los ayudan a comprender las leyes de inmigración y los ayudan a navegar el proceso de remoción.
