Deportation Defense Cancellation of Removal for LPRs (Lawful Permanent Residents)

Cancellation of Removal for LPRs (Lawful Permanent Residents)

If you are a green card holder and you have been placed in Immigration Court because of a criminal conviction, you may be eligible for Cancellation of Removal which would allow you to keep your green card.

In general, to qualify for cancellation of removal, you must:

• have been a green card holder for at least 5 years;
• have continuously resided in the United States for 7 years after being admitted in any status before the “stop-time rule” is triggered;
• have not been convicted of an aggravated felony;
• have not received cancellation of removal in the past or a 212(c) waiver; and 
• you are deserving, as a matter of discretion, for your application to be approved (the judge will weigh the positive and negative factors in your case).

An experienced immigration attorney can walk you through each of these requirements to determine eligibility since there are many gray areas for each of these requirements. 

The key to success is not only determining eligibility, but also preparing a complete application with supporting documents to prove that your case deserves to be granted as a matter of discretion. Attorney Gary Boyadzhyan will provide hands-on service for your case to make sure your application is fully documented and positioned for success.
