Stopping and deporting immigrants with criminal records or those with irregularities in their migration status has become the main objective of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other governmental institutions. However, there are cases in which some individuals, even after receiving a deportation order, have the possibility to suspend said statute through a series of established processes.
According to what has been established by ICE itself, these are the reasons why a person may request a deportation suspension:
-
Keeping pending appeals
-
Having serious health problems
-
Having family ties in the United States
Following this, and in case a person falls under any of these reasons, it will be necessary to submit Form I-585 to ICE in addition to providing one of the following official documents:
-
Passport: valid for at least 6 months after the request
-
Copy of the passport: in case of not having the passport due to loss or other similar situation, a copy can be submitted along with a document supporting it such as a birth certificate or another form of identification
-
Passport or travel document application: a copy of the application, proof of payment, and any other document received in the process must also be submitted
Other documents necessary to avoid deportation
In addition to all the above, and according to information revealed by ICE, there are scenarios where additional documents can be requested such as:
-
Arrest records
-
Criminal history
-
Medical history
-
Explanatory summary in which the person describes the reasons for their request.
Despite this, there are cases in which ICE may reject the deportation request due to certain factors such as:
-
Lack of documentation or papers certifying the applicant's identity
-
Incorrect payment or failure to pay the application fee
-
Administrative errors in the form submission or another document
-
Lack of medical evidence
-
Extensive and pending criminal history
-
False or incomplete information
It is important to mention, regarding this last point, that providing false information can result in more serious consequences such as the immediate revocation of the request and deportation execution without prior notice.
In addition to the above, a deportation suspension is not definitive, as in case a person commits a fault, crime, or offense, they may be arrested and deported immediately without the possibility of further appeal recourse.
