How can I apply for a Stay of Deportation?
In Florida, a Stay of Deportation is a way to postpone or delay the deportation process. It is granted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on a case-by-case basis. To apply for a Stay of Deportation, you must first file a Form I-246, Application for a Stay of Deportation or Removal. This form is available from the DHS website, or it can be requested from your local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office. In your application, you must provide evidence that a Stay of Deportation is the only way for you to remain in the United States legally. This includes documentation that shows you are facing certain hardships if you are removed from the country, such as extreme financial difficulty or threats of harm from your home country. You must also provide evidence of your positive contributions to the United States, such as employment and family ties in the U.S., evidence of rehabilitation if you have committed an offense, and any other relevant information you believe is pertinent to your case. Once you have completed and submitted the application form, it will be reviewed by DHS officials, and a decision will be made on your request for a Stay of Deportation. If your application is accepted, you will be issued a Stay of Deportation, which is valid for a fixed period of time and may be renewed for additional periods as recommended by DHS.
