The Basics Of A Notice To Appear

January 15, 2025

A Notice to Appear (NTA), also known as Form I-862, is a document made by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) when they think someone can be kicked out of or not allowed into the United States. Once DHS gives this form to an immigration court, the court has power over the case, and the process to decide if the person should leave the country starts. At the end, an immigration judge will say if the person has to go or if they can stay.
