Cancellation Removal
What is Removal Cancellation?
It is a form of relief available only when a person is in deportation (removal) proceedings before immigration court. If approved, the judge cancels the deportation order and allows the person to remain legally in the U.S. (sometimes even as a permanent resident).
Reasons for requesting Cancellation of Removal.
Cancellation of Removal is one of the most important forms of immigration relief in the United States. It is used when a person is already facing deportation proceedings before an immigration judge and seeks to stop their removal and, in some cases, obtain permanent residency (Green Card).
The main reason for requesting it is to avoid deportation and to be able to continue living legally within the country, but there are specific and profound reasons that justify this type of request depending on the applicant's immigration status.
Restrictions for Removal Cancellation.
- You haven't lived 10 years straight in the US.
- You have committed serious crimes or moral offenses (theft, violence, fraud, drugs, etc.).
- You cannot demonstrate extreme suffering to a qualified family member.
- Did you enter recently or with multiple entries and exits?
- You do not have enough witnesses or evidence to confirm your time in the country.
- You have previously received a deportation order and failed to appear in court.
- You have a conviction for “aggravated felony”.
- You do not meet the 5 years of residence or 7 years of continuous presence requirement.
- You have committed immigration fraud or crimes that affect your moral eligibility.
