How can I apply for a Stay of Deportation?

To apply for a Stay of Deportation in Tennessee, an immigrant must first prepare an application. The application must include information about the person’s immigration status in the United States, the reason for applying for a stay, and proof of hardship if applicable. An individual can submit the application to the local U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office. The individual may also seek legal counsel from an experienced immigration attorney to help in the application process. In addition to the application, a person must submit documentation to support their request for a stay. This can include evidence of continuous presence in the U.S., a criminal record or the lack thereof, medical records, evidence of immediate or potential harm, such as homelessness or job loss, that the person may face if deported. The ICE office will review the application to determine if a Stay of Deportation will be granted. If the ICE office finds the application satisfactory, the person will receive a temporary stay, which will remain in effect until the individual has an opportunity to appear before a judge in a removal hearing. At this removal hearing, the judge will consider the evidence presented to make a final decision on the Stay of Deportation. If the stay application is denied, the immigration attorney handling the case may file a motion to reconsider the decision. If the motion is successful, the individual will have another chance to present their evidence before the judge. If the motion is not successful, the individual may appeal the decision, but this process is lengthy and complex, and it is best to seek the advice of legal counsel.

Para solicitar una Stay of Deportation (detención prolongada de la deportación), debe presentar una petición formal de Stay y documentos relacionados con su caso al Tribunal de Inmigración de EE. UU. en Tennessee. Esta petición debe contener información completa sobre la situación particular del solicitante y su motivo para solicitar un Stay. Si el Tribunal determina que el solicitante cumple con los requisitos para obtener un Stay de la deportación, prohibirá temporalmente la deportación. Sin embargo, no se otorgará ninguna exención de deportación si el Tribunal llega a la conclusión de que el indicio de caso es fuerte. El candidato también necesita proporcionar evidencia de que la deportación puede causar perjuicio grave a su familia, como el trauma emocional, pérdida de ingresos y afectación de la educación de los niños/hijos. Esta evidencia podría incluir cartas escritas por familiares, amigos y miembros de la comunidad explicando cómo la deportación afectaría a la familia del solicitante. Además, el Tribunal de Inmigración de EE. UU. en Tennessee tendrá en cuenta otros factores como la historia personal del solicitante, la situación financiera, el requisito de ciudadanía y el desempeño académico. Si el Tribunal aprueba la petición del solicitante para obtener un Stay de Deportación, deberá someterse a una revisión anual y presentar una nueva petición si desea mantener el Stay.
