Deportation in Rhode Island

Nearly 7 million people have entered the US illegally or stayed beyond the time allotted by their Visa. Many of them do not realize that they risk not only banishment and deportation, but also serious prison time for their crime; which is a felony.

In some cases immigrants will need to return to their native country before their Visa application can be reviewed to avoid deportation or banishment.

It is possible to file for an extension of your Visa provided it is done within a reasonable amount of time before the expiration date. If the expiration date has been reached exceptions can be made if you can prove that:

• A delay in an extension was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond your control
• The length of the delay was reasonable
• You have not broken any laws or done anything to violate your non-immigrant status, and
• You are not currently engaged in deportation proceedings

Contacting an attorney and alerting them to your situation will not cause you to be arrested. The attorney will not alert the authorities but rather will be able to assess your situation and help you determine your options and if desired, pursue them.
