Deportation—Removal Proceedings Defense
Many people facing removal/deportation proceedings do not take the time to locate an experienced immigration deportation defense attorney to represent them. Make sure that you enter the courtroom accompanied by the most knowledgeable and experienced immigration deportation defense attorney.

The INS/Government will be represented by an attorney who is very experienced. Your attorney will be creating a record before the Immigration Judge.

The record of proceedings consists of the transcript of the hearing and the exhibits, including copies of any applications submitted on your behalf. It could be very difficult to win an appeal if you do not make a good record before the Immigration Judge the first time. The Appeal decision will be based on the printed record, the decision of the Immigration Judge and the legal briefs. Even if you hire the best immigration attorney in the United States to take your case to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or to the Federal Court, the BIA and the Court must rely on the record of proceedings.

Non-Immigration Visas
As a general rule, an alien who wants to travel to the United States as a non-immigrant needs a visa. For some non-immigrant visa categories, an alien can obtain the visa directly from the U.S. consulate without having to first apply to and receive approval from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) (formerly called the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)).

For other non-immigrant visa categories, an alien has to obtain approval from the USCIS prior to applying for a visa at the U.S. consulate. In those instances, one must be ready to produce evidence of USCIS approval to the U.S. consulate. Aside from evidence of approval from the USCIS, there are other forms and documents an alien must bring to the U.S. consulate when applying for a visa for information regarding the forms and documents needed for a visa application at the U.S. consulate.

The following are categories of non-immigrants seeking entry into the United States who do not need a visa for admission.

1. A Canadian non-immigrant: Canadian citizens and residents who are citizens of a British Commonwealth nation are exempt from the visa requirement for purposes of tourism, limited business activity, and work activity under certain provisions of NAFTA which is a treaty between the U.S. and Canada.

2. Visa waiver pilot program: This is a special program allowing non-immigrants from designated countries to enter the United States for purposes of tourism and short-term business.

3. Visit of an alien to Canada or Mexico who are in a valid legal status in the U.S.: A visa is not needed for entry into the United States from Canada or Mexico if:
a. The alien has a valid non-immigrant legal status in the U.S. such as B-1, F1, or H-1 before leaving the U.S. and going to Canada or Mexico.
b. The alien left the U.S., for Canada or Mexico, and came back to the U.S. within thirty days.

Note: In actuality, this is not an exception to the visa requirement but is considered an extension of the alien's expired visa.
