Deportation can have a devastating impact on an individual and their family. Such cases are complex with huge amounts at stake for the individual and their family members.
Deportation orders typically remain in force until the Home Office decide to revoke them; which is ordinarily for at least 10 years and can remain in place for an indefinite period.
The law is complex and the chances of success are often very finely balanced; requiring careful preparation, forensic understanding of the legal principles and careful presentation before the Home Office and the Courts.
Representations against Deportation
Before a deportation order is signed, you have an opportunity to provide representations to the Home Office explaining why this should not happen.
This can be a valuable opportunity to head off the more serious step of a deportation order being issued and the stress and cost of an appeal.
