Why You May Need a Cancellation of Removal for Your Immigration Case

immigrationAs an immigrant who may face removal from the United States, it is a great relief to know that there is the possibility of cancellation of the removal. This benefit is available for those who are Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs), or green card holders, and for those who are not. While this benefit does exist, it is not available to all foreign nationals. To determine if you are eligible for the cancellation of removal, it is best to consult Waltham Massachusetts immigration attorneys for help. A lawyer at the Law Offices of Gregory P. Turner will look at your immigration history to let you know if you qualify for stopping your removal proceedings.

Reasons to Request the Cancellation of Removal
For each immigrant, there can be a variety of reasons why they need to have their removal proceedings cancelled. The most common reasons a cancellation is requested include:

Family well-being. If you are removed, your family will suffer greatly due to you being the one who sustains the family.

Business ties. If you have a business in the U.S., you can risk it closing down if you are not present to keep it running. This is also a contribution to the U.S. economy that will no longer exist.

Residence. As with a business, your residence will not be taken care of, you won’t be able to pay taxes on your home, and other aspects related to you living in the U.S. won’t be handled.

The cancellation of removal requires that you meet specific criteria in order for it to be approved. For those who are not LPRs, the requirements can be stricter.
