I am originally from Sudan and recently, I received a Notice to Appear in immigration court, and I am very afraid because this means I could be deported. I came to the U.S. seeking safety and better opportunities, but my immigration status has been complicated. I am worried about being forced to return to Sudan, especially since the situation there is unstable and unsafe. I do not know what rights I have, what defenses might be available, or how much time I have left to fight my case before the court makes a decision.

Jibril Elmi · Accepted Answer

You still have rights, including the right to a hearing before an immigration judge. Depending on your situation, you may qualify for asylum, withholding of removal, or other protections.

Speaking with an experienced immigration lawyer quickly is very important.

Saowalak Suwannarat · Answer

Deportation cases are serious, but they don’t always mean automatic removal. If you fear returning to Sudan because of violence, persecution, or unsafe conditions, you may be able to apply for asylum or related relief.

Having strong evidence and documentation can strengthen your case before the judge. Legal representation can make a big difference in your chances of success.
