¡Gana tu residencia en EE UU! La cancelación de deportación es tu oportunidad
In this Spanish‑language monologue, attorney Lorena Rivas explains the immigration remedy known as cancellation of deportation (cancellation of removal). She describes that the relief is pursued in immigration court before an immigration judge, and if granted it confers lawful permanent residency. She outlines the stringent eligibility criteria: the applicant must have no criminal record, must have been physically present in the United States for at least ten years, and must have a qualifying relative—U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident parent, spouse, or child—who would suffer exceptional or extreme hardship if the applicant were removed. Rivas emphasizes that while the remedy can lead to a green card, it is difficult to win because the hardship must be proven to be severe.
