Can You Face Deportation While In The Process Of Applying For A Green Card?
Can You Be Deported While Applying For A Green Card? It is possible in certain circumstances for an individual to face Deportation or removal while in the process of applying for a Green Card. This danger remains because applying for a green card does not provide an individual with immigration status. However, when the green card application is approved,
the individual obtains the immigration status of a lawful permanent resident.
Once an individual gets a green card and becomes a legal permanent resident,
They can be removed and deported only because of misconduct or abandonment of their lawful permanent resident status. Otherwise, the danger of Deportation persists even when an individual applies for a green card. An example of the threat is when an individual applying for a Green Card is in removal proceedings.
Is It Possible To Be Deported While Applying For A Green Card?
They may need to ask the Immigration Judge to reschedule or continue the removal case until the Green Card Application is approved. The Immigration Judge has broad administrative discretion in deciding whether to reschedule or continue the case and has the regulatory authority to grant a continuance for a good cause shown.
