For individuals in active removal proceedings before an immigration judge. Requires "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship," a higher legal standard.
Overview
For individuals in active removal proceedings before an immigration judge. Requires "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship," a higher legal standard.
Cancellation of removal is requested in immigration court and requires demonstrating that a qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR child, spouse, or parent would suffer "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship" if the applicant were removed. This is a higher legal standard than extreme hardship. Our evaluation addresses this elevated threshold with thorough clinical documentation.
