Cancellation of Removal

With the power of cancelation of removal you will experience  transformative journey towards securing your legal status.

In the realm of immigration law, where lives are often at crossroads, the provision of Cancellation of Removal stands as a beacon of hope. It is a legal remedy that offers a second chance to certain non-permanent residents facing removal proceedings in the United States. This provision reflects the understanding that circumstances evolve, and justice must be adaptive and humane.

 

Cancellation of Removal is a legal remedy available to certain non-permanent residents who face removal proceedings. It acknowledges the nuanced nature of immigration cases, where lives and futures are intertwined with a web of factors that go beyond mere legal definitions.

 

There are two main categories of individuals who can seek Cancellation of Removal:

 

1. Permanent Residents (LPRs): For lawful permanent residents, Cancellation of Removal is a safety net designed to protect them from involuntary removal due to certain criminal convictions or immigration violations. To qualify for Cancellation of Removal, LPRs must meet specific criteria, including:

 

  • Having been a lawful permanent resident for at least five years.

  • Residing continuously in the United States for seven years after being admitted as an LPR.

  • Demonstrating good moral character and a minimal criminal record.

 

This provision recognizes that even those who have stumbled along their path may have mended their ways and become productive members of society. It acknowledges the possibility of redemption and offers a chance to prevent the permanent separation of families and communities.

 

2. Non-LPRs (Undocumented Residents): Non-LPR Cancellation of Removal, on the other hand, extends its reach to undocumented residents who have built deep roots in the United States. It provides a pathway to legal status for individuals who can establish:

 

  • Physical presence in the U.S. for at least ten years.

  • Good moral character.

  • Exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member if they were to be removed.

  •  

This aspect of Cancellation of Removal showcases the understanding that some individuals, though lacking legal status, have become integral parts of the communities they call home. It offers a lifeline to those who can prove that their removal would inflict undue hardship on their loved ones, underscoring the importance of family unity in the immigration system.

 

Cancellation of Removal, as a cornerstone of immigration law, exemplifies the intricate interplay between legal provisions and human stories. It acknowledges that the path to citizenship or legal residency is not always linear and provides a lifeline to those who have turned their lives around or who, for various reasons, are deeply connected to the United States.
