How To Fight Deportation And Earn A Green Card . . .
Even When You Lack Immigration Documents
The telephone rings. It’s the telephone call you have long feared.
Your relative – your husband, brother, father, uncle, or cousin – has been arrested. He has been turned over to immigration agents.
He does not have valid immigration papers.
The officers plan to deport him.
He wants to give up. He does not think there is any hope.
Yet, if he gives up, he will lose everything he cherishes. He will be separated, maybe forever, from his wife, his kids, his job, his home.
Don’t let him do it.
Don’t let him give up so easily.
Cancellation of Removal May Be Your Solution
Before your relative makes any decisions, he should talk to an immigration attorney who specializes in deportation and removal defense.
There’s a little known program, cancellation of removal. It is for people like your husband or uncle. People who feel trapped . . . with no way to fight deportation. Cancellation of removal may help you overcome deportation and removal.
Your relative must ask these questions:
- Have I lived in the United States for 10 straight years? If you have left the U. S. and then returned, back and forth, you probably will not meet this requirement for cancellation of removal.
- Have I stayed out of serious criminal problems? Many convictions which are minor in state courts, like California and Arizona, may be far more serious at immigration court hearings.
- Do I have a wife/husband, a child, or a parent who was born in the United States? Or already a lawful permanent resident? If you do not have such a qualifying relative, you are disqualified from cancellation of removal.
If the answer is “yes” to all three questions, there is a chance to fight back.
What Is Cancellation of Removal For Undocumented Immigrants?
If you do not have a green card, applying for cancellation of removal may be your one and only chance to stop your deportation.
To win cancellation of removal, you will have a trial at immigration court. This is not something you should try to do on your own. Too many immigrants have tried that path – and lost.
Even if you answered yes to the three questions above, you are not assured victory. You must still prove your qualifying family members will suffer “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” if you are sent back to your home country.
This is where the rubber meets the road.
In most deportation cases at immigration court, hardship is the toughest requirement to demonstrate. As most judges will tell you, all immigrant families will suffer hardship if a family member is deported.
Because cancellation of removal is usually an immigrant’s last chance of earning a green card, the rules are very strict.
Your task is to show the judge that your family’s hardship is not ordinary. You must prove it is not only different, but also more severe than the hardship of other immigrant families. You must demonstrate, conclusively, your family’s hardship will be exceptional and extremely unusual.
Most immigrants cannot put together strong enough evidence needed to prove the hardship requirement. This means you should hire a skilled immigration deportation defense trial attorney to help you and your family.
The stakes could not be any higher.
You win, you get to stay in the U. S. and you’re entitled to a green card.
You lose, you will be deported back to your home country.
