This is used to <strong>identify the person in immigration<\/strong> and <strong>obtain information about their case status<\/strong>. It can be found on some ICE and immigration court documents, such as the <strong>Notice to Appear<\/strong> and <strong>Form I-213<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other immigration documents:<\/strong> If you <strong>have any other immigration cases<\/strong>, it is very important to gather all <strong>documents related to those cases<\/strong>. These could be <strong>proof of legal entry <\/strong>into the country or proof of <strong>good conduct<\/strong>. A <strong>Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)<\/strong> request may be necessary to obtain case records from USCIS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Birth certificates and other identity documents:<\/strong> If you have <strong>family members who are citizens or permanent residents<\/strong>, it is recommended that you gather all <strong>documentation that proves your relationship<\/strong> with them. This can be of great help in a deportation defense, as you may be able to access <strong>adjustment of status<\/strong> or other <strong>immigration benefits<\/strong> that would prevent removal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Copies of all criminal court records: <\/strong>If you have been <strong>charged with<\/strong> or have been a <strong>victim<\/strong> of a <strong>crime<\/strong>, it is recommended that you submit <strong>copies of all court records<\/strong>, even if the case has been dismissed. Your deportation defense could benefit from these documents, as they would allow you to obtain an immigration waiver. <a href=\"https:\/\/urbinalawfirm.com\/en\/what-is-a-migratory-waiver\/\"><strong>immigration waiver<\/strong><\/a> or <strong>access to some types of visas<\/strong> (depending on the case).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Letters of support: <\/strong><strong>Letters of support from friends and family<\/strong> are very important in a deportation defense case.
