immigration

if you have received a hearing notice in immigration court

that means one thing: and one thing only: and that is

that the US government has put you into deportation proceedings

this is not a fun place to be and you need a lawyer

okay I want you to know what to expect

in these hearings in your first hearing it will be a master

calendar hearing there's basically two types of hearings in immigration court

the first as a master calendar and the second

is what's called an individual hearing the master

is where you go in and there will be a lot have different people

in the same room in front of the same judge

you might have to wait you know even a couple hours before your case is heard

and each person's case might just take five or ten minutes

basically your lawyer will be with you will go up the lawyer will talk to the

judge basically the lawyer will do all the talking

okay and they'll explain to the judge what the strategy is

and what our plan is to defend you

against deportation okay at the

end of the Masters sometimes there's two sometimes there's three

right eventually the judge will

either order you deported which we hope not

or will set the case to an individual hearing

the individual hearing is like a trial

okay and its it's theirs it's just you that's why they call it the individual

hearing

and it'll be you your lawyer the judge

the government attorney and an interpreter if you're not

I if your best language is something other than English

those five people will be in a room

and for hours we will go into your life

your situation to make sure that you are eligible

to stay in the united states or not at the end of the individual hearing

or hearings the judge will decide whether or not

the judge is going to order you deported or whether or not they're going to allow

you to stay in the

united States this is a very stressful process

and I really hope for your sake that you have a lawyer

who's trustworthy who's good in who you like to go with you
