Removal cancellation is a legal remedy for individuals facing deportation in the US. Eligibility requires no criminal record, hardship for family members, and continued physical presence in the US. The outcome can allow individuals to maintain permanent residency or be deported. Immigration judges decide whether to grant or deny the request.
A removal cancellation in immigration law is a legal remedy that allows individuals subject to removal proceedings to avoid deportation and removal from the United States. Individuals seeking relief must file a request to override their removal application and provide reasons why an immigration judge should grant the application. Eligibility requirements include no criminal convictions or arrests, unusual hardship for a spouse or children due to removal, and continued physical presence in the United States for any length of time. If the application is successful, the applicant can often remain as a lawful permanent resident. Individuals may be granted removal undo only once in their lifetime, and the grounds for requesting removal are limited by United States law.
Individuals who wish to have their removal application overturned often need to prove that they have no criminal convictions or arrests. The purpose of the requirement is to establish that the applicant is of good moral character. Immigration judges often view certain crimes as an indicator that the individual should be allowed to remain in the United States. Some of the offenses that may prohibit an immigration judge from granting relief to an applicant include failure to pay federal income taxes and forging immigration documents. Failure to pay child support is also a factor used to judge an applicant’s character and may be part of an applicant’s criminal record.
The difficulties that an applicant’s spouse, children and parents may face is another factor that immigration judges consider when deciding whether to grant a removal request override. Separation of family members is hardship for all members in general, but people seeking reversal of removal often need to demonstrate other factors to demonstrate hardship. For example, an individual who has young children may be more likely to demonstrate difficulty than another individual with adult children. Judges also consider whether the applicant has family members in his or her country of origin in order to determine whether the family will suffer hardship as a result of the separation if the applicant is deported.
The annulment of the removal procedure can have three outcomes. For starters, a legal permanent resident may be allowed to maintain lei status and remain in the United States. Another outcome is for an individual who has never been granted legal permanent residence to remain in the United States as a permanent resident. An immigration judge may decide to dismiss the application altogether after considering all factors, which often results in the individual being deported. Immigration laws leave it to the discretion of the judge whether to grant or deny the annulment of the removal application.
