Post-Order Relief Options
Even after a removal order, options may still exist. We pursue motions to reopen based on changed country conditions, new evidence, or ineffective assistance of counsel. We file stays of removal to prevent deportation while pursuing relief. For clients who have been deported, we explore options for legal return through waivers and consular processing.
