What’s my next step in trying to terminate my removal proceeding?

I have an immigration case pending and I am out on bail. Now I had my confictions vacated. Where do I go from here? Also, I have been Pro Se through all of the proceedings. Is there a motion that I have to file and, if yes, would you happen to have a sample I may use?

You can check with legal aid and the pro bono section of your state bar to see if there are pro bono attorneys who can tell you about sample motions and of course, who can help you with no or low cost. If your conviction has been vacated, then you should consider filing a motion to have the charges, the hearing and arrest expunged from your record and use the conviction vacation to end the removal proceedings. You really should have an immigration attorney who also handles criminal expungement cases to handle your matter. Do not attempt to handle the immigration matter on your own.
