Administrative Stay of Deportation

Are You or Someone You Know Being Deported?


Administrative Stay of DeportationAn administrative stay of deportation is a temporary stall of removal for someone who has an order to be deported from the United States. There is no certain amount of time that the administrative stay of deportation allots an individual, usually the postponement tends to be short but there is few times where it can run for a few weeks to months. When an individual who is under administrative stay of removal, they must know that they do not receive any sort of legal status within the United States or immigration benefits, they are just on hold as they seek other legal venues to appeal the deportation.

In order for the person who is being deported to request an administrative stay of removal, he or she must fill out Form I-246 (Application for a Stay of Deportation or Removal). It is highly recommended to seek out the help of an immigration attorney to fill out the above form to make sure no mistakes are done and the paperwork is filled immediately.

If a person came into the United States illegally and was caught without any legal paperwork, they will be removed from the country. If they try to request an administrative stay of removal, they will be most likely denied unless they are needed to testify on a criminal case or where deporting them would be considered improper. Now, if a person came into the United States legally and then did something in which the government was forced to deport them, then they would have a higher chance of getting an administrative stay of removal. For example, if the individual came to the United States on a work visa and they overstayed the time that they were granted or if they are the only caretaker of a severely ill family member.
