Una solicitud de cancelación de remoción es una forma de defensa de inmigración utilizada en el proceso de deportación. Por lo general, la cancelación de remoción es la última línea de defensa para una persona que se ve amenazada con la deportación. Esta aplicación le permite al solicitante solicitar el cese de su remoción a los Estados Unidos a un tribunal de inmigración determinado. Esta aplicación se puede presentar en el tribunal de inmigración tanto si la persona ya se ha presentado ante el tribunal como si aún no lo ha hecho. El solicitante debe demostrar que cumple con los requisitos necesarios para la cancelación de la remoción, que incluyen demostrar que tiene un legítimo motivo para su solicitud. Estos requisitos incluyen la residencia continua en los Estados Unidos durante al menos cinco años, un buen historial de comportamiento y buena moral, además de demostrar que la deportación causará una situación injusta a él o a su familia. El tribunal de inmigración de Carolina del Sur tendrá una serie de factores a considerar a la hora de decidir si la solicitud de cancelación de remoción de un solicitante es apropiada, como el impacto de la deportación en la familia del solicitante, la contribución a su comunidad, así como su nivel de arraigo a los Estados Unidos. Si el tribunal de inmigración aprueba la solicitud de cancelación de remoción, el solicitante será otorgado con una tarjeta verde y un estatus legal permanente.
