Under certain circumstances we can have your removal

cancelled. 4,000 people each year can qualify for cancellation of removal for non-permanent
residents.
In these cases we seek to show:

You have served in the U.S. Armed Forces for at least 24 months, joined the
services while physically in the U.S, and are still serving or was honorably
discharged;
Or, you have lived in the U.S. for 10 years and havent been out of the U.S. for more
than 90 days at a time or a total of 180 days during those 10 years; and,
You have had good moral character for 10 years,

There are no criminal and security, marriage fraud, criminal grounds, failure to
register, document falsification, or other security related reasons you should be
deported.

Also if you have family living in the country you can get a hardship wavier which can help you
stay here with your family.
Note: If you are a battered spouse or a child , there are special relaxed rules for deportation
cancellation. Also if you have family in the US and it will cause hardship they can give you a
deportation waiver.7
