Life in South Dakota has been calm since I arrived from Pakistan, but now everything feels uncertain. My visa situation has become complicated, and I recently received a notice that places me at risk of deportation. I’m frightened about what this means for my future, my job, and the small community I’ve built here. What immediate steps can I take to protect myself, and are there legal pathways to fight deportation or stay longer while my case is reviewed?

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Your best immediate step is to contact an experienced immigration lawyer right away, as they can help you understand options like asylum, cancellation of removal, or other relief depending on your case. You usually have the right to a hearing before an immigration judge, and in many cases, you may be able to stay in the U.S. while your case is being reviewed.

The first step is to contact an experienced immigration attorney as quickly as possible. An attorney can evaluate your case and determine if you qualify for relief such as asylum, cancellation of removal, or adjustment of status. Acting fast is critical to avoid missing important deadlines.

You may be eligible to request a stay of removal or file a motion to reopen if new evidence supports your case. Do not ignore any notices from immigration authorities.

If you have family ties, fear of persecution in Pakistan, or other humanitarian reasons, you might qualify for relief that prevents deportation. Attend every scheduled hearing and follow all instructions carefully.

Failing to appear can result in an automatic removal order.

Gathering evidence and documents to support your situation will strengthen any application for relief.

You should contact an immigration lawyer immediately—relief like asylum or cancellation of removal may let you stay while your case is reviewed.
