In certain cases, an individual’s status can be changed from a deportable alien to a person who is legally admitted for permanent residence. If you are a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., you can be qualified for a cancellation of removal if you have not been convicted of an aggravated felony, have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years and have resided in the U.S. continuously for 7 years after having been admitted into the country.
If you are a non-lawful permanent resident, your eligibility to have your removal cancelled is based on:
We work hard to prove these points with documentation and witnesses and to argue your case before the Immigration court. Terms such as “good moral character” can be vague and require knowledge of what a judge will be looking for in order to prevail. Likewise, we know what immigration laws state regarding the type of crimes that can and cannot be a basis for removal from the country.
Our attorneys understand that keeping your family together and staying in the U.S. is important and we take our efforts to represent you in these matters seriously.
