ELIGIBILITY FOR CANCELLATION OF REMOVAL FOR NON-LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENTS
There are two types of Cancellation of Removal - 1) Cancellation of Removal for Lawful Permanent Residents, and 2) Cancellation of Removal for Non-Lawful Permanent Residents.

- Not convicted of an offense that would make you inadmissible or deportable

- Exceptional and Extremely Unusual hardship to a United States citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident spouse, parent or child
- Do you have a USC spouse, parent, or child who would incur exceptional and extremely unusual hardship if you were deported? If so, you may be eligible for cancellation of removal (if you otherwise qualify based on the other listed elements). You must establish not only that the immediate relative would incur hardship, but that it would be exceptional and extremely unusual.

GREENCARD AS A RESULT OF CANCELLATIONIf the immigration judge grants Cancellation of Removal, you will not deported and you will get a greencard.
PRIOR CANCELLATION GRANTS
You are only eligible to obtain Cancellation of Removal once. If you have previously obtained Cancellation of Removal, you would not be eligible to apply again.
HOW TO APPLY FOR CANCELLATION OF REMOVAL
After an Immigration Judge finds that you are deportable, and if you are eligible for Cancellation of Removal, you would file Form 42B along with all accompanying documentary evidence with the Immigration Court. The Immigration Judge would schedule you for an Individual Hearing, which is very similar to a trial. The Immigration Judge would hear all of the evidence and would make the decision whether to grant Cancellation of Removal. Both the government attorney and your attorney would submit evidence, present witnesses and make arguments to the Immigration Judge.
IMMIGRATION APPEAL
You can appeal the Immigration Judge's decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). The BIA will look at the evidence that was presented to the Immigration Court and can reverse the Immigration Judge's decision.
