One of the most trying and uncertain periods in an immigrant’s life may be when they are placed in removal proceedings. It’s not always the end of the road, though. In numerous cases, people may have compelling legal arguments to ask the court to completely stop these proceedings. A motion to terminate deportation can help with that.
At our New York immigration law office, we help clients file strategic, evidence-backed motions to terminate removal proceedings, offering a path to legal relief and a future in the U.S.
A motion to terminate is a formal request submitted to an immigration judge asking for removal (deportation) proceedings to be ended. This is different from asking for relief from removal, like asylum or cancellation of removal; instead, you’re asking for the proceedings to be dismissed entirely because you should not be in removal to begin with.
Common reasons to file an EOIR motion to terminate include:
Our knowledgeable staff can examine your case and build a solid strategy to help terminate removal proceedings and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
The timing of a motion to terminate deportation is critical. Ideally, you or your attorney should file early in the proceedings, especially if there are legal flaws in the Notice to Appear or if you have new evidence of eligibility for status adjustment.
You may also file a motion to dismiss an immigration case if DHS agrees you’re not subject to removal based on current immigration law, or if prosecutorial discretion is exercised in your favor. Our office provides complete support from start to finish, ensuring all legal arguments, forms, and deadlines are handled with precision.
Many people confuse a motion to terminate with a cancellation of removal motion, but they serve very different purposes:
