Under current immigration law, there are numerous provisions under which an individual can be removed from the United States. Most common grounds of removal are inadmissible, i.e., when the individual has not been properly “admitted” into the United States. Additionally, individuals who have been properly admitted into the United States, but who have become deportable under various provisions of immigration law, can also be placed in removal proceedings. The initial document that places such individuals into removal proceedings is called “Notice to Appear” and it alleges the grounds for making such an individual removable or deportable. The proceedings are conducted before the appropriate Immigration Court. There are basically two phases of any removal proceedings; first, at their “Master Calendar 
 hearing, the individuals will be asked to plead to the allegations contained in the “Notice to Appear” and to concede or deny “removability”. If the individual is eligible for  some kind of relief from deportation, then the immigration judge will schedule an “Individual” hearing, on which the person will have the opportunity to present his or her case and ask the immigration judge to grant the relief requested. Among the relief sought most often is Adjustment of Status as well as request for Cancellation of Removal.
