How to stop the deportation process?

What is commonly referred to as “deportation” may refer to actual deportation of a criminal convict under a Deportation Order which requires a waiting period of ten years before the person may apply outside of the UK for revocation of that order. It may also refer to “administrative removal” whereby someone is being required to depart the UK as they do not have leave to remain. Deportation Orders will be issued where someone is a repeat offender or has been convicted of an offence of 12 months or more. The Home Office may also use discretionary powers to issue a Deportation Order to a foreign national who is a repeat offender. It is possible to appeal against a Deportation Order. Whilst the appeal is pending Immigration Bail should be applied for if the person is in immigration detention. If the person is threatened with administrative removal then they can potentially challenge the decision by way of legal representation or judicial review.
