Cancellation of Removal is available to certain long term permanent residents who are facing removal proceedings (deportation) who have been convicted of certain crimes involving moral turpitude, drug offenses, and domestic violence or child abuse crimes.
To qualify for this waiver you must have:
-Resided in the U.S. as a permanent resident for 5 years; and
-Lived in the U.S. continuously for 7 years in any lawful status
-As a legal resident, you must present strong and persuasive reasons as to why you should be allowed to stay in the country. You will need to prove strong family connections, employment, and a reform of character. If you have a criminal record, you must discuss this matter thoroughly with your attorney.
