If you’re considering US immigration from the UK, you should be careful about violating immigration laws.

After all, you don’t want to risk getting deported after spending a hard time processing your immigration papers. Furthermore, if you get deported, you will get an entry ban ranging from five to twenty years.  

In worst-case scenarios, the US federal government might even permanently ban you from entering the country. So, why does deportation happen? Here are common reasons why immigrants get deported from the US below.

Violating Immigration Laws

Violating immigration laws will definitely subject you to deportation. Here are some of these violations below:  

  • Falsification of documents: This includes committing forgery or altering your immigration documents in order to enter and stay in the US.
  • Overstaying: This entails staying in the US even after the expiration of your visa’s validity.
  • Illegal entry: This immigration violation includes using illicit means to enter the country without a visa, such as entering the nation through unattended areas.
  • Inclusion of false information on your visa application: This immigration violation refers to the inclusion of untruthful details on your visa application. Other immigrant applicants do this in the hopes of boosting their chances of entry approval into the US.  

Fraudulent Marriage

Furthermore, other immigrant applicants might also opt for fraudulent marriages in the hopes of getting a green card. But of course, these fake marriages will still get you deported if you get caught by the US embassy. After all, they will also verify the authenticity of your wedding and your relationship with your spouse.

In order to do this, US immigration officials will be asking you and your spouse some personal questions regarding your relationship. Besides that, they will also speak to your friends and conduct home visitation as well.

Failing to Notify Changes Regarding Your Home Address

Although changing your home address may not seem like a big deal, it’s still important to notify the USCIS regarding this matter. And even if you lawfully entered the US, failure to inform authorities of your address change can also lead to your deportation. So, no matter what your reason is for altering your home address, be sure to tell authorities about it on time.

As per USCIS guidelines, you have until ten days from the date of your move to inform them about your address change. If you are unable to tell them about this change, you will also get deported.

Crimes that Lead to Deportation

Not all crimes will lead to deportation. However, there are criminal acts that will surely get you deported from the US. These criminal acts include the following:

  • Smuggling of humans
  • Smuggling of drugs
  • Laundering of funds
  • Offenses related to firearms
  • Domestic violence
  • Committing acts of terrorism
  • Rape
  • Murder

Although the court may not refer to your criminal act as a crime of moral turpitude, immigration officials will still categorize your crime according to immigration laws. And depending on their final verdict, you might also be subjected to deportation.

Depending on Government Aid within Five Years of Your Arrival in the US

Besides committing the following violations above, becoming a public charge also makes you deportable. Individuals considered public charges are those who have been relying on government aid upon becoming a US immigrant. And if you continue to be a public charge within five years of your arrival in the US, you will also be deported.

After all, part of your immigration application includes proving that you are worthy of receiving a green card. And one of the qualifications of your immigration application ensures that you don’t become a public charge. For that matter, ensure that your financial sponsor or petitioner keeps the end of their bargain in financially supporting you.

Wrapping Up 

Other than getting deported and banned from entering the US, violating these immigration laws could also affect your chances of applying for US citizenship. However, as long as you take note and avoid doing these violations, you won’t have to worry about getting deported at all. Knowing about these ensures that you’re fully informed of what not to do, making you less prone to violating or disobeying these laws.

So, once you’ve gotten your permanent resident status in the US with no issues, you might be qualified to become a US Citizen. And if you’re not sure if you have met the requirements for US citizenship, you can always contact a professional immigration lawyer to assist you. In addition, you can also get the help of an immigration attorney to ensure that you avoid facing deportation as well.
