Dear Inquirer:

Depending on when the order of removal was entered in absentia and whether you received notice of the hearing or some "exceptional circumstances" prevented you from appearing, you may be able to file a Motion to Reopen and Rescind the In Absentia order of removal. In most cases, the filing of the Motion will stay or stop the USICE from executing the removal order, at least until the Immigration Judge makes a decision on the Motion.

I recommend that you email us at [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this mater further.
