What are some tips for avoiding deportation from the United States?
You must not give the USCIS any reason to even consider your deportation and removal from the United States. Thus, in addition to being law-abiding, it is in your best interest to follow the below tips:
- You may apply to become an asylum seeker in the United States, if applicable.
