What is an Order of Supervision?

An Order of Supervision (often abbreviated to OOS) is a legal document issued to non-citizens in Texas who are subject to deportation, but have not yet been deported from the U.S. This document designates the individual under the “supervision” of the government while they are in the country, and allows them to remain in the country pending their eventual deportation. An Order of Supervision is issued when an individual is able to provide U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with enough evidence and legal documents proving they have the right to stay in the country and have not been convicted of any criminal offense, or if they possess other conditions that would lead to their potential deportation, but which the government is willing to give them a certain amount of time before they must leave. In Texas, an individual who is living under an Order of Supervision must regularly report to their assigned ICE office to prove they are still in compliance with the conditions of the Order. They must also abide by all laws within the state and check in with ICE officers throughout the duration of their stay. If the individual fails to comply with the conditions of the Order, they may face deportation proceedings.

Esto puede incluir una orden de arresto de la Corte de Inmigración, asistir a citas regulares con oficiales de inmigración, y someterse a un examen médico. Algunas órdenes de supervisión también especifican otros requisitos, como el pago de una fianza monetaria o un permiso de trabajo, que se anexa a la Orden de Supervisión. Una vez que se hayan cumplido todos los requisitos necesarios, la orden de deportación puede ser suspendida y el individuo podrá quedarse en Estados Unidos.
