Cancellation of removal is a form of immigration relief available to individuals who have been placed in removal proceedings before the United States Executive Office for Immigration Review. It was designed to replace suspension of deportation, a form of relief available prior to the passage of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 ("IIRIRA"). A different standard for eligibility for cancellation is applied for lawful permanent residents ("LPRs") and non-LPRs. Recipients of a grant of cancellation are eligible for permanent residency in the United States. == History: Suspension of Deportation == Prior to April 1, 1997, the effective date of IIRIRA, a form of relief known as "suspension of deportation" was available. Although functionally similar to cancellation relief, suspension had a lower eligibility standard and did not distinguish between lawful and non-lawful resident applicants. In order to qualify for suspension relief, an applicant under the pre-IIRIRA standard was required to demonstrate the following: 1) Continuous physical presence in the United States for a period of seven years; 2) "Good moral character" during this period; and 3) That the applicant's removal would result in "extreme hardship" to the applicant or any qualifying United States citizen or LPR relatives, including an applicant's spouse, parents, and/or children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cancellation of removal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
