What is the Cancellation of Removal Process? 

When an immigrant or foreign national in the United States commits certain types of crimes, they may be subject to removal proceedings which seek to examine whether an illegal alien is subject to said removal for return to their country of origin. Some foreign nationals may qualify for a cancellation of removal, which would halt the removal process and prevent deportation. The United States government will not make a determination as to whether an individual qualifies for cancellation of removal, which is why it is a good idea to seek help from a knowledgeable immigration attorney who can make the proper identification and proceed accordingly in deportation defense. 

Are You Trying to Remain in the United States? 

Cancellation of removal is available to individuals who have been designated as lawful permanent residents for at least 5 years, have lived in the United States for at least 7 years in any status type, and have not been convicted of an aggravated felony. Cancellation of removal is also available to non-permanent residents who have lived in the United States possess a good moral character for a minimum of 10 years, have not been convicted of certain crimes, and can prove that successful removal would result in imminent hardship to the individual loved ones, including spouses, parents or children.
