Houston Cancellation of Removal Lawyer

Helping Clients Fight Deportation and Change Their Status

If you are a lawful permanent resident or nonpermanent resident of this country who is threatened by deportation, you may be eligible for a cancellation of removal. Through this process, you may be able to legally change your status from that of an alien who is “inadmissible” (deportable) to one who is a lawful permanent resident which will eliminate the threat of removal.

You must meet certain requirements to take advantage of this process. Even if you are eligible, it will be up to the discretion of the immigration judge whether or not you will be granted this remedy. For the best chance of a successful outcome, it is vital that you are represented by an experienced immigration attorney.

You will find such an attorney at Galaviz Law Firm. We are devoted to helping immigrants in every type of immigration matter. We can examine the the facts of your situation to present the strongest, most convincing case to the judge.

Requirements for Lawful Permanent Residents

The requirements for obtaining a cancellation of removal differ for lawful permanent residents and nonpermanent residents.

If you are a lawful permanent resident, you must meet the following:

• You have been a lawful permanent resident for at least five years
• You have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least seven years after being admitted under any status
• You do not have a criminal record of any aggravated felony

If you are a nonpermanent resident, you must meet the following:

• You have lived continuously in the U.S. for at least 10 years in the period preceding your application
• You have maintained a good moral character during that time
• You have not been convicted of certain crimes as outlined in immigration law
• Deportation would cause undue hardship on your spouse, child(ren), or parents who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents

Cancellation of removal is also available in other specific circumstances, such as for those who have endured physical abuse or extreme cruelty. To determine if you qualify as per above or in any other circumstance, you should consult with our immigration attorney.
