Deportation liability notices: the first steps

What to do in the first days after a notice arrives, before anything else.

A deportation liability notice is frightening, and the first days matter. The notice itself says what it is about and what you can do.

Keep the notice and the envelope

The date you received it may matter. Keep everything that came with it.

Do not wait

Any time limit in the notice runs from the start. Get advice from an immigration lawyer or a licensed immigration adviser straight away.
