If you miss your hearing
Missing an immigration court hearing is serious. The judge can order you removed in absentia under INA § 240(b)(5)(A) — a deportation order issued without you present. If this happens you may file a Motion to Reopen, but the deadlines are strict. Always keep your address current with the court using Form EOIR-33/IC so you actually receive your notices.
You are not given a free attorney
Immigration court is not like criminal court — the government does not appoint you a free lawyer. You may hire one or seek free/low-cost help:
- Free & low-cost immigration legal aid in Florida
- How to find a real immigration attorney — never use a notario; that is fraud.
