Cancellation of Removal: Protect Your Right to Stay in the U.S.

If you are facing deportation or removal proceedings due to violations of immigration law—such as unlawful entry, visa overstay, or status violations—the fear and uncertainty can be overwhelming. However, there may be a path to avoid deportation and remain in the United States through cancellation of removal. At Yellow Law Group, we specialize in defending individuals facing removal proceedings and can help you explore your options to stay in the U.S. lawfully.

 

What is Cancellation of Removal?

Cancellation of removal is a legal process that allows certain individuals who are facing deportation to ask an immigration judge to cancel their removal order. If granted, this option can change your status from being at risk of deportation to being lawfully admitted as a permanent resident (green card holder), provided you meet specific eligibility requirements.

You may be eligible for cancellation of removal if you meet the following criteria:

  • Exceptional Hardship: You must show that your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child would suffer exceptional and extremely unusual hardship if you were deported.

  • Good Moral Character: You must demonstrate that you have maintained a record of good moral character and have not been convicted of any serious crimes that would disqualify you from eligibility.

  • Continuous Presence: You must have lived in the United States for at least ten years before the initiation of removal proceedings.

  • No Serious Criminal Convictions: You should not have any serious criminal convictions or immigration violations that would make you ineligible.

If you meet these criteria, you may have a strong case for cancellation of removal. Yellow Law Group is here to help you prove your eligibility and fight for your right to remain in the U.S. lawfully.

 

What to Do if You Are in Removal Proceedings

If you are currently in or anticipate removal proceedings, it’s essential to act quickly. The cancellation of removal process is complicated and requires detailed evidence, including proof of hardship to qualifying family members, good moral character, and your continuous presence in the U.S.

At Yellow Law Group, our experienced immigration attorneys can assess your case, guide you through the cancellation of removal process, and present a compelling argument to the immigration judge. We are committed to helping you remain in the U.S. on a lawful and permanent basis.

 

Prosecutorial Discretion and Waivers

In some cases, immigration authorities use prosecutorial discretion to decide which cases to focus on or delay. This can help some people avoid deportation temporarily, however it’s not a permanent solution.

If you’re living in the U.S. without legal status, prosecutorial discretion might keep you from being deported for a long time. However, if your case is reviewed in the future, having an experienced immigration attorney can make a big difference. We can help explore your options and fight for your chance to stay in the country.
