Frequently Asked Questions About Illegal Reentry
Our illegal reentry after deportation attorneys in Arizona can answer any questions you have about your legal situation. For example, we can answer questions like:
What are the penalties for illegal reentry after being deported?
If you have been charged with an immigration-related re-entry or smuggling offense, you may be facing a variety of penalties depending on your criminal history:
- If you were convicted of a felony before or had three or more misdemeanors involving drugs or a victim, you could face up to 10 years in prison.
- If you have an aggravated felony, you could be facing up to 20 years in prison and be permanently barred from re-entering.
- If you were previously removed for unlawful presence, you could face up to two years in prison.

What should I do to reenter the U.S. after deportation?
Reentering the U.S. after removal proceedings is very challenging. You should not try to reenter the country without approval. You may speak with a federal defense lawyer who can review your situation and discuss options like waiting out the period of inadmissibility and then filing Form I-212.
You may need to file a waiver (Form I-601) for some immigration violations, including unlawful presence.
You submit these forms to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and wait for a decision. If USCIS approves, you can move forward with a visa application.
Can I stay in the country if I’m accused of illegal reentry?
It’s incredibly challenging to stay in the United States if you’re accused of illegal reentry, because technically you no longer have the right to speak to an immigration judge. However, you may have a chance in some cases, especially if your lawyer believes you qualify for a reasonable fear interview.
Your attorney could also file a motion to reopen your initial removal order. Choose a lawyer who understands immigration laws and entry-related offenses and can help with your specific situation.
