Understanding Cancellation of Removal

A cancellation of removal is one deportation defense available to qualifying immigrants with a criminal conviction.

In order to qualify for a cancellation of removal as a green card holder, you must:

• Be a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years
• Continuously reside in the country for at least seven years, under any status
• Not be convicted of an aggravated felony

Even if you have never held legal status in the United States before, you can still qualify for another type of cancellation of removal.

Non-permanent resident aliens can qualify for a cancellation of removal if:

• They have physically resided in the U.S. for at least 10 years
• They have demonstrated good moral character in that time period
• They can prove "exceptional and extremely unusual" hardship to a citizen or LPR spouse, parent, or child should they be deported
