Another win for Matt
Attorney Matthew Benson of Bartlett & Weigle Co., L.P.A. is pleased to announce that a very deserving client just received a preliminary grant of Cancellation of Removal for non-Lawful Permanent Residents from an Immigration Judge in Louisville, KY. Once finalized, a grant of Cancellation of Removal from an Immigration Judge results in lawful permanent resident or “green card” status for the applicant. It is an extremely limited and difficult form of relief to obtain from removal proceedings and only 4000 cases can be approved annually in the entire United States. It requires the applicant to prove several criteria, including: 1) more than 10 years of continuous presence in the U.S. prior to being placed into removal proceedings; 2) good moral character and a minimal criminal history; and 3) a very high level of hardship to a qualifying U.S. Citizen of Lawful Permanent Resident relative in the event of the applicant’s deportation. Are you or a close family member or friend before an Immigration Judge and wanting to know if this or other relief from removal proceedings might be available? If so, please contact Bartlett & Weigle to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced and knowledgeable attorneys to discuss your options.
