Immigration Document Sequence Explained
Summary
The sequence of immigration documents typically starts with a Notice to Appear, followed by a Warrant for Arrest, Notice of Custody Determination, and Warrant of Removal/Deportation. An arrest warrant is not required for immigration detentions under 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2) and 8 C.F.R. § 287.5(e)(2). If your case was dismissed without prejudice, you can refile your adjustment of status application. For prosecutorial discretion, include personal details, grounds for request, and supporting evidence. Consult an immigration attorney for specific advice.Full Conversation

I was released from detention with a i-220a but it should have been a parole

Can someone adjust status with an I-220a? As proof of inspection and admission?
Hello ****, an I-220A is not typically used as proof of inspection/admission. It's important to consult an immigration attorney to understand your specific situation. Could you provide your location for more tailored advice?
If you are detained should they release you with a parole and no other document
Hello ****, it depends on the specifics of your case. While parole is one way to be released from detention, it's not the only way. Others include bond or an I-220A. It's important to consult an immigration attorney. Can you provide your location for more specific advice?

Do they need any document prior to detention?
Before detention, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) usually assesses documents like passports, visas, or other entry permits. If these are not satisfactory, it could lead to detention. Please consult an immigration attorney for specifics.
Can I claim my detention as illegal because they didn't have an arrest warrant?
In general, an arrest warrant isn't required for immigration detentions. However, the legality of your detention can depend on various factors like the reason for detention, your immigration status, etc. Consulting with an immigration attorney would provide specific advice.
Explain why they don't need the warrant
In immigration cases, CBP and ICE are typically not required to have a warrant to detain someone because:
- Detention is often part of the administrative process, not criminal.
- Immigration enforcement agencies have broad authority under federal law.
- Warrants are generally needed for searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment, but courts often carve out exceptions for immigration enforcement.

Please cite laws to support why warrant is not necessary
Under U.S law:
- * U.S.C. § *(a)(*) allows immigration officers to arrest without a warrant any alien trying to enter the U.S. in violation of law or who they have reason to believe is in the U.S. unlawfully and is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained.
- * C.F.R. § *.*(e)(*) gives immigration officers authority to arrest without a warrant based on probable cause to believe that the alien so arrested is in the U.S. in violation of any such law or regulation and is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained for his arrest.

Other law enforcement agencies can legally do the same in general in the USA?
In general, law enforcement agencies in the U.S. can arrest without a warrant under certain circumstances, such as:
- The officer witnesses a crime in progress.
- The officer has probable cause to believe a crime has been committed.
- Exigent circumstances where immediate action is required to prevent harm or escape.
However, immigration-related arrests are governed by specific federal laws. It's essential to consult with an attorney for specifics.

Do I need to refile my adjustment of status after my case was dismissed in the immigration court?
If your case was dismissed without prejudice, you can refile your adjustment of status application. However, if it was dismissed with prejudice, you might not be able to refile without addressing the reasons for dismissal. Consulting with an immigration attorney is advised.
I sent that adjustment application to the Irving service center in Texas as I was in Court, do I have to refile my adjustment with the Dallas service center after the dismissal?
No, you don't need to refile your adjustment application if you initially filed it while in court. However, you might need to update your case status or file a motion to reopen or reconsider with the court. It's advisable to consult with an immigration attorney.
Why a motion with the court if my case was dismissed?
A motion is usually filed when you wish to bring new facts to the court's attention or make a legal argument about why the case should be reconsidered. It's generally used if you believe there was an error in the dismissal of your case. It's advisable to consult with an immigration attorney.
No. I just want to adjust status with USCIS no the court anymore
In that case, you may be able to proceed with the USCIS. However, you should notify them about the dismissal from court. It's crucial to have all your documents, particularly those related to your previous court proceedings. Do you currently have all these documents?
Yes
Great. You can proceed with your adjustment of status with USCIS. Please ensure all your documents, including those from previous court proceedings, are in order and submitted correctly. Consulting with an immigration attorney can still be beneficial for a smooth process.
