What is Cancellation of Removal?
Cancellation of removal is a form of relief available in immigration court that can stop your deportation. It is designed to give you a second chance if you meet the specific cancellation of removal requirements, whether you are a permanent resident or a non-permanent resident.
If granted, cancellation of removal can allow you to stay in the United States and, in some cases, adjust your immigration status to become a lawful permanent resident.
Cancellation of Removal Requirements for Permanent Residents
If you are a permanent resident, you may qualify for cancellation of removal if you meet these requirements:
- You must have maintained permanent resident status for at least five years.
- You must have lived in the U.S. for at least seven years after being lawfully admitted in any status.
- You need to show that you have demonstrated good moral character during this period.
- You do not have disqualifying criminal convictions.
Cancellation of Removal Requirements for Non-Permanent Residents
If you are not a permanent resident, the requirements are stricter, but relief may still be possible. To qualify for cancellation of removal, you generally need to demonstrate:
- You have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least ten years.
- You have maintained good moral character during this time.
- Deportation would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child.
- You have not been barred from admission due to prior immigration violations or certain criminal convictions.
Our cancellation of removal lawyer will help you prepare a strong case by documenting your ties to the U.S. and demonstrating the hardship your family would face.
Cancellation of Removal Success Rate
The cancellation of removal success rate depends on your eligibility and ability to present a strong case to the immigration judge. You can improve your chances by providing clear evidence and credible testimony. At Natalia Darancou Law, we help you understand your likelihood of success and develop a strategy that maximizes your chances of a positive outcome.
What Happens If Cancellation of Removal Is Approved?
Approval means your removal case is closed, and you can remain in the United States lawfully. Depending on your situation:
- Lawful Status: Your lawful permanent resident status is restored or recognized.
- Work and Travel Rights: You keep the right to live and work in the U.S. without the threat of deportation.
- Family Stability: Your approval can also protect qualifying family members from being separated.
- Next Steps: Additional filings or documentation may be required to update your records with immigration authorities.
At Natalia Darancou Law, we guide you through these next steps to ensure your status is fully secured and your case is properly closed with immigration agencies.
