About Deportation:
Prior to the enactment of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant
Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA), the legal process of deporting a foreign
national was called “deportation” and concerned individuals already present in the United States. At that time there “exclusion”
also existed, which concerned a foreign national who was trying to gain admission
into the United States. Following the enactment of IIRAIRA, both deportation and exclusion
are now referred to as “removal” proceedings. If someone is determined to be
removable, they are subject to receiving a removal order and must leave the
United States.
Any person who is not a U.S. citizen can be deported from the
United States.
Visa Holders and Denial of Entry: Visa holders should be prepared to prove
that they are entering the United States for permissible purposes and that they
intend to leave in accordance with the terms of their visa. In instances of
inspections at the U.S. border, however, foreign nationals can in fact be
determined “inadmissible” and will not be allowed entry into the U.S. Those
individuals are generally either allowed to withdraw their applications for
admission into the U.S. or are simply denied entry into the U.S. and must
immediately depart.
Visa Holders and Deportation: The most common
reasons non-permanent residents (visa holders) are deported or removed from the
United States are if they entered the
U.S. without inspection or without valid entry documents, or if they
entered legally on a visa, but then overstayed the period of time
they were authorized to remain.
Green Card Holders and Denial of Entry: There are a number of scenarios which will result in refusal of entry to the
United States. Lawful permanent residents who have remained outside of the
United States for an extended period should be prepared to provide evidence at
the port of entry that they maintained a continuous and uninterrupted intention
to return to the United States throughout their absence.
Green Card Holders and Deportation: Green Card holders that apply for U.S.
citizenship could possibly be found deportable, as a background check is
conducted through the naturalization process. Withdrawing a citizenship
application will not prevent one from possibly being deported if that person has
already been placed into removal proceedings. However, the most common reason a
permanent resident, or Green Card holder, is removed from the United States is
if they committed a
serious crime. Learn more about Green Card holders and deportation in the
Deportation from the United States Information Guide.
