Cancellation of removal is a form of relief from deportation that is available to individuals who meet certain statutory requirements, including being present in the U.S. for at least 10 years before being placed into removal proceedings, showing that they are a person of good moral character, and demonstrating that their U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident qualifying relatives would suffer “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” in the event of their removal from the United States. These cases are often very challenging, particularly if the qualifying relatives do not have substantial medical, academic, or mental health concerns. Using Matter of Recinas, 23 I&N Dec. 467 (BIA 2002), Attorney Sarah Okuh successfully argued that a single mother of two U.S. citizen children with no remaining family in her country of origin, no criminal record, and more than 20 years of presence in the United States should be granted cancellation of removal before the Immigration Court. This individual will now be placed in the queue to receive a grant of cancellation of removal once a number is available for her in accordance with the statutory cap.
