What is Cancellation of Removal Non-LPR?
Cancellation of removal for Non-Permanent Residents under INA § 240A(b)(1) (“non-LPR cancellation of removal”) is a critical defense to deportation available to certain noncitizens with family in the United States. A person who is granted non-LPR cancellation of removal receives a green card. Cancellation is a “defensive” application, meaning that it is only available to someone facing removal in immigration court.
Who is eligible?
A person qualifies for non-LPR cancellation of removal if:
1-) He or she is in removal proceedings;
2-) He or she has been physically present in the United States continuously for at least ten years;
3-) He or she has had good moral character for ten years;
4-) He or she has not been convicted of certain offenses [crimes listed in INA sections 212(a)(2), 237(a)(2), or 237(a)(3)];
5-) To deport her or him would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to her or his LPR or U.S. citizen spouse, child, or parent.
