If you or a loved one is in deportation or removal proceedings, you may be eligible to file cancellation of removal.
Cancellation of Removal for Non-Permanent Residents
For non-permanent residents (even if you entered illegally), you are eligible for Cancellation of Removal if: (1) you have been in the U.S. for 10 years continuously, (2) are a person of good moral character, and (3) have a qualifying U.S. citizen or legal permanent spouse, parent or child who will suffer "exceptional and extremely unusual" hardship if you are deported. Immigration Attorney Elaine Cheung, Esq. frequently prepares 300+ page submissions to the immigration judge in support of this application to demonstrate that her clients meet these tough requirements.
Cancellation of Removal for Permanent Residents
Even if you have had your green card for decades, immigration authorities may still deport you if you have committed certain crime(s). You are eligible for Cancellation of Removal for Permanent Residents if you were not convicted of an aggravated felony, you have lived in the U.S. for 7 years and you have been a lawful permanent resident for five years. This deportation defense allows an immigration judge to grant you a waiver from deportation if you can show that your equities in the U.S. outweigh the crime for which you were convicted.
