How do I know if I am subject to deportation?

If you are living in South Carolina, then you may be subject to deportation if you have violated U.S. immigration law. The most common cause of deportation is being in the U.S. illegally, but other infractions can also trigger deportation proceedings, including an expired visa, a felony conviction, or failure to meet the terms of your visa. Under federal law, any noncitizen who is present in the U.S. without permission is deportable. If you failed to renew your visa or entered the U.S. without permission, then you are subject to deportation. Additionally, if you have committed a crime, you may be subject to deportation. This includes felonies, certain misdemeanors, and certain domestic violence offenses. Failure to abide by the terms of your visa, such as working without authorization or traveling abroad for too long a period of time, can also result in deportation. If you are concerned that you may be subject to deportation, then you should speak with an immigration lawyer. An immigration lawyer can analyze you situation and provide advice about your options and potential defenses against deportation. An immigration lawyer can also help you navigate the deportation process, such as applying for cancellation of removal or asylum. If you are facing deportation, then an immigration lawyer can also represent you before the Immigration Court.
