Deportation Defense Relief Strategies 

The following forms of relief may be available to individuals facing removal from the United States.

Asylum

Asylum is a form of protection available to individuals who have fled their home country and cannot return because of persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution based on: 

  • Race
  • Religion
  • Nationality
  • Political opinion
  • Membership in a particular social group

If granted asylum, the person can remain in the U.S., apply for work authorization, and eventually seek permanent residency (a green card). Asylum can be requested as a defense in immigration court during deportation proceedings.

Cancellation of Removal for Lawful Permanent Residents (E42A)

E42A refers to a form used to apply for Cancellation of Removal under section 240A(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) for lawful permanent residents (LPRs) who have been placed in removal proceedings. 

To qualify, you must show:

  • At least seven years of continuous residence in the U.S. after being admitted in any status
  • At least five years as a lawful permanent resident
  • No conviction for certain serious crimes

If granted, you can keep your green card and avoid removal.

Cancellation of Removal for Non-Permanent Residents (E42B)

E42B refers to the form used to request Cancellation of Removal under section 240A(b) of the INA for non-permanent residents. 

To be eligible, you must prove:

  • 10 years of continuous physical presence in the U.S.
  • Good moral character during that time
  • That your removal would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, child, or parent

This relief can result in permanent resident status (a green card) for someone without lawful status.
