Removal Defense

ASYLUM OR REFUGEE

People come to the United States seeking more than just opportunity; many are forced to flee catastrophic circumstances like war, violence, political oppression, or persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. For those who fear returning to their home country, U.S. law offers vital protection through Asylum or Refugee Status. We guide clients through the complex process of proving a well-founded fear of persecution, whether by filing Affirmative Asylum claims with USCIS (for those not in removal proceedings) or pursuing Defensive Asylum claims in Immigration Court. We are dedicated to ensuring that your right to seek safe refuge in America is fiercely protected.

CANCELLATION OF REMOVAL

When a person who has built a long life in the U.S. is placed into removal (deportation) proceedings, Cancellation of Removal provides a chance to legally remain and adjust status to a Lawful Permanent Resident. This relief is divided into two distinct categories:

• LPR Cancellation: For existing Green Card holders who have maintained LPR status for at least five years, have seven years of continuous residence in the U.S. after lawful admission, and have not been convicted of an aggravated felony.

• Non-LPR Cancellation: For non-permanent residents who must demonstrate ten years of continuous physical presence, good moral character, and, critically, that their removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR spouse, parent, or child. We are here to assess your eligibility and build the strongest possible case for discretionary relief.
