Cancellation of Removal

I'm writing today about Cancellation of Removal.  Cancellation (for short), is a form of relief available to those individuals who are in removal (deportation) proceedings.  Cancellation is available to lawful permanent resident or non-residents.  If you are a non-resident, you need 10 years of domicile in the United States, good moral character and exceptional and extreme hardship to a qualifying relative (spouse or child who is either a US Citizen or a resident.)  A resident will only need 7 years of domicile in the United States along with the additional requirements. 

Generally, Cancellation of Removal is a complicated case with additional factors that should be looked into to determine whether you qualify.  If you are in removal proceedings, give me a call or email me.  I would gladly discuss your case with you.
