About Removal and Deportation from the United States
The U.S. government cannot remove you without due process of law. You will have a removal hearing in an Immigration Court (in Boston, MA or another city), and a skilled removal defense attorney Rui Alves will be there to present the strongest possible defense.
Reasons for inadmissibility and/or removal of a noncitizen, including, but not limited to:
- Conviction of a felony
- Diagnosis of a communicable listed disease
- Fraudulent marriage to a U.S. citizen
- Making terroristic threats against the United States of America
- Voting in any election
- Representing yourself as a U.S. citizen on any other federal or state form
Deportation Defense Attorney Alves has helped many non-citizens legalize their status in order to terminate deportation proceedings and processing. Problems often arise for noncitizens that induce a change of status and often without the persons understanding of the cirucumstance or implecations. This includes denials of citizenship applications; failure to notify the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of an address change; traffic citations and arrests for driving with a suspended license or for having no driver’s license.
It is not uncommon for undocumented persons to be arrested by Massachusetts or Rhode Island state police for a traffic violation, then transferred into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at a temporary holding facility and to potentially face deportation.

Removal and Deportation Defense
Deportation defense Attorney Alves' primary goal is to move quickly in these delicate situations and look for ways for you to avoid removal or minimize the consequences.
If the DHS believes that you should be removed or deported from the United States, or an individual is found "inadmissible" to the United States, the DHS will issue a piece of paper called a "Notice to Appear" or "NTA" which initiates court proceedings to determine if an individual is removable, deportable or inadmissible from the United States.
An Immigration Judge presides over these court proceedings which are held at US Immigration Courts across the country. These are formal court hearings and should be taken very seriously as your immigration record may be permanently affected and you can be physically deported from the United States. Only an Immigration Judge can determine if you are removable, deportable or inadmissible and whether you have relief from removal. If the Immigration Judge denies relief, you may appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals which has jurisdiction over decisions made by Immigration Judges.
Deportation Lawyer Alves will fight for your rights and often seeks relief using the following strategys:
- Asylum
- Withholding of removal
- Voluntary departure
- Granting an application for lawful permanent residence
- Cancellation of removal
- Waivers
- Criminal immigration matters
- Motions to Reopen
