Cancellation of Removal

There are moments in the lives of immigrants when the future seems bleak. For many immigrants, deportation is among the worst events imaginable. The federal government may initiate a forcible removal against immigrants who are accused of committing certain offenses. Although this sounds frightening, it may be possible to receive a cancellation of removal if you meet certain qualifications. A decision to cancel a removal can greatly benefit immigrants and their families.

Who is Eligible for Cancellation of Removal?

If you are an immigrant and you have been convicted of a crime, the government may try to remove you from the country. However, this removal can be contested. Cancellation of removal may be possible if you are a:

• Permanent resident
• Non-permanent resident
• Family member of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident

There are other qualifications you must meet in order to receive a cancellation of removal. For example, you must have lived in the U.S. for a certain period of time and not been convicted of a felony. If you are successful in canceling your removal from the country, you may find it easier to receive citizenship or a green card.
