Should Undocumented Immigrants Leave the U.S. Now? Risks, Bars, and Legal Options

Описание: In this #LawCall segment, immigration attorney Natasha Snow, together with Ken Riley, explains why people who are in the U.S. without lawful status should not automatically “pick up and leave,” because departing can jeopardize certain immigration benefits and trigger serious penalties. She discusses defenses, such as cancellation of removal, that depend on continuous physical presence, and explains how unlawful presence can result in a 10-year bar once someone leaves the country. Natasha also shares practical steps for figuring out what status someone actually has and what programs they may qualify for before taking any action. Finally, she explains how to protect yourself from scams by verifying that an immigration lawyer is licensed through a state bar and checking their credentials.
