Three Groups Most Likely to be Deported (New Immigration Policy)

Posted: 7/29/2015 4:48 PM

Three Groups Most likely to be Deported: A change in immigration policy announced by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will affect 11 million people who are in the US without documents (sometimes called illegal immigrants). DHS will focus on deporting the following three groups of undocumented immigrants.

Convicted Criminals
Terrorist Suspects
Those who have recently crossed the US border (Since January 2014)

For more information on this change in enforcement policy see Who will be deported?

While not being deported does not lead to getting a green card, or any other immigration benefit, it may provide some peace of mind for those who do not fall within the above groups.

There is one group who may file an immigration application. Those who qualify for Two-Year DACA may file for temporary relief from deportation and permission to work in the US. For information on who may apply for DACA now see Two-Year DACA.

We were very fortunate to have worked with Rebecca on our immigration case. We are a cautious couple who often had many questions about the immigration process. Rebecca promptly and patiently addressed these questions while offering her own advice and perspective, which was highly valuable. Her dedication to our case made us feel confident and secure in acquiring an immigration visa. We highly recommend working with Rebecca and her team and we would work with her again in the future.
