here's another immigration quick tip brought to you by Landerholm
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
