How can I apply for a Stay of Deportation?

If you are facing possible deportation in the state of Utah, you may be able to apply for a Stay of Deportation. A Stay of Deportation is an order from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or an Immigration Judge that temporarily stops or halts your deportation. To apply for a Stay of Deportation, you will need to fill out Form I-246 and submit it to the DHS or the immigration court. Form I-246 is an application to request a stay of deportation or removal. In addition to the completed Form I-246, you will also need to submit any evidence that will support your claim that you should be allowed to stay in the United States. This evidence can include a detailed explanation of the hardship that you or your family will face if you are deported. It can also include proof of any changes in your immigration circumstances since you last applied for a stay of deportation or removal. Your application for a stay of deportation should include a detailed description of why you should be allowed to stay in the United States and why the immigration court should grant you a stay. If you need help with this process, you may want to consult a lawyer who specializes in immigration law. They can help you submit a convincing application that maximizes your chances of being granted a stay. Once you submit your application, you will receive a decision from the DHS or the immigration court. If the decision is in your favor, you will be granted a stay of deportation or removal and will be allowed to remain in the United States until the stay is lifted. If the decision is against you, you may be able to appeal the decision.
