PRIOR CANCELLATION GRANTS
You are only eligible to obtain Cancellation of Removal once. If you have previously obtained Cancellation of Removal, you would not be eligible to apply again.
HOW TO APPLY FOR CANCELLATION OF REMOVAL
After an Immigration Judge finds that you are deportable, and if you are eligible for Cancellation of Removal, you would file Form 42B along with all accompanying documentary evidence with the Immigration Court. The Immigration Judge would schedule you for an Individual Hearing, which is very similar to a trial. The Immigration Judge would hear all of the evidence and would make the decision whether to grant Cancellation of Removal. Both the government attorney and your attorney would submit evidence, present witnesses and make arguments to the Immigration Judge.
IMMIGRATION APPEAL

You can appeal the Immigration Judge’s decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). The BIA will look at the evidence that was presented to the Immigration Court and can reverse the Immigration Judge’s decision.
