What is a stay of removal?
A stay of removal is an order that temporarily blocks a person from being deported by the federal government. It is a type of relief from removal that stops or pauses the deportation process or prevents it from happening altogether. This form of relief can be granted when a person is facing deportation or removal from the United States. In South Carolina, a stay of removal can be requested from the Immigration Court or directly from the government. It is important to note that a stay of removal does not guarantee that deportation proceedings will never occur; it only halts the process for a period of time. The length of a stay of removal will vary depending on individual circumstances, but it could last from weeks to years. When a stay of removal is granted, it could provide protection from deportation and may allow a person to remain in the United States while they pursue other relief options such as asylum or an application for lawful permanent residence. It is important to note that a stay of removal does not grant permission to work in the United States and you need to apply for permission from the government to work while the stay is in effect. In summary, a stay of removal is a type of relief from removal that stops or pauses the deportation process, allowing a person to remain in the United States while they pursue other relief options.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.Una "estancia de remoción" es una respuesta judicial temporal a una denuncia de deportación. Significa que la persona que está siendo deportada (el solicitante) ha presentado una petición para continuar en Estados Unidos, y el tribunal ha decidido que hay suficientes razones para detener la remoción por un periodo de tiempo. Esto significa que el solicitante debe permanecer en Estados Unidos por el periodo especificado, pero no le da a la persona el derecho a vivir y trabajar en Estados Unidos. En el estado de Carolina del Sur, la estancia de remoción puede durar de 6 meses a varios años, aunque generalmente no excede los tres años. El tribunal también puede imponer restricciones al solicitante, como el uso de un brazalete electrónico para restringir la movilidad, y se requerirá que el solicitante presente periódicamente informes al tribunal. Si el tribunal determina que el solicitante ya no cumple con los requisitos para una estancia de remoción, se le ordenará que abandone el país o sea deportado.
