What is “cancellation of removal”?
Cancellation of Removal is a form of immigration relief available in the state of Florida. It is available to certain nonresident aliens who have been present in the United States for a period of at least 10 years and can demonstrate that their removal would result in “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” to their family member(s) who are U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or nonresident aliens. Cancellation of removal may help individuals who are placed in removal proceedings and are facing the possibility of deportation to remain in the United States. Eligibility is based on certain criteria, such as continuous physical presence in the US for at least 10 years, good moral character, no felony convictions, and non-involvement in certain criminal activities. An individual may qualify for cancellation of removal if they can show an immigration judge that deporting them would cause undue hardship to their US citizen or lawful permanent resident family members. This could include factors such as a family member with serious health issues, a single parent with a disabled child, or a family member who would have difficulty finding employment in the home country. To receive cancellation of removal, the individual must provide evidence to an Immigration Judge that they meet all the requirements for cancellation of removal. If the Immigration Judge approves the application, it means that the individual is allowed to remain in the United States and may even be eligible for a green card.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.La cancelación de la remoción es un proceso legal por el cual los solicitantes de asilo, también conocidos como apátridas, pueden evitar la expulsión de los Estados Unidos si cumplen ciertos requisitos. Los solicitantes deben demostrar ante el juez de inmigración que tienen buena condición moral, que han residido permanentemente y continuamente en los EE. UU. durante al menos diez años, y que sufren suficientes problemas para que los resultados de su expulsión sean excepcionalmente dolorosos para ellos. Los solicitantes de cancellation of removal deben demostrar que, si se les expulsara, sufrirían un daño y dolor excepcionales debido a las circunstancias especiales de su caso. Esta situación excepcional puede incluir factores tales como llevar una larga duración en los EE. UU., la edad, la presencia de familiares en los EE. UU., el riesgo de persecución en el país de origen y otros factores. Es importante destacar que la cancelación de la remoción no es una forma de obtener la tarjeta verde de forma directa, ya que se aplica únicamente cuando la deportación está en curso. Es una forma de evitar la deportación, pero no otorga un estatus de inmigración permanente. Sin embargo, una vez que el juez aprueba la solicitud de cancelación de remoción, la persona puede obtener una tarjeta verde al cabo de un año a través de proceso separado.
