What Are Removal Proceedings?

If you receive a Notice to Appear (NTA) from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), it means that removal proceedings are starting. The NTA is served to whomever ICE believes has entered the United States illegally or to those they believe are in the U.S. without authorization.

Deportation Hearings

After 1 - 4 weeks of receiving the NTA, you will get another notice from the immigration court that contains instructions about your initial hearing. This is also called the “master calendar hearing” (MCH). The hearing lasts around 15 minutes and may take place a few months to a year later. Be sure to keep track of the date and time of the hearing. Missing it may result in the loss of any chance for deportation relief.

After the hearing, the immigration court will then schedule a merit hearing, or individual hearing. These usually last four hours or more. For these types of hearings, it is important to have an experienced immigration lawyer by your side to defend you.
