Every day more Cubans with I-220A attend immigration court in the United States. However, not everyone goes with their case fully prepared, for various reasons. Many still find themselves in a kind of immigration limbo because they can be deported if the judge decides in that case. Hence the importance of hiring special counsel that meets the interests of the immigrant.
The lawyer José Guerrero described the subject in detail. The expert shared experiences about the most common problems in cases of this type. The specialist agreed that the latest hearings have revealed a surprising trend.
It turns out that the stories told by the migrants were not believable, for the most part, by the judges in their own cases. In fact, this means an automatic denial of asylum and then the start of deportation proceedings.
Bringing the matter prepared: key to success
That is exactly what the lawyer advises. “It is vital not to wait for court day to speak to your lawyer and build a strong case of credible fear. ” This preparation includes taking all possible evidence, statements from third parties, etc.
Those who have gone against the court without proper preparation are now in a difficult position to appeal their deportation orders. According to Guerrero, “once the judge declares that your story is not credible, the legal process becomes even more complicated.”
It is a fact that the situation of Cubans with I-220A cases is getting worse. All this, because the document is not recognized as Parole in the eyes of the Cuban Amendment Act to seek residence in the United States.
There are more than 400 thousand Cubans with I-220A who entered through the southern border of the United States in the last three years. For them, it is necessary to do everything legally possible to avoid deportation.
