Cancellation of removal is an immigration benefit that allows permanent residents and nonpermanent residents to apply to an immigration judge to adjust their status from that of a deportable alien to one lawfully admitted for permanent residence. This can be accomplished when certain conditions are met.
The legal process allows someone who feels their life is in danger to seek refuge in a safer country. Under U.S. and international law, if a person reaches any U.S. border “with a well-founded fear of persecution for reason of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war or violence,” they may apply for asylum.
If you get an unfavorable ruling you may be able to appeal your deportation case. The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) interprets and applies immigration laws. The BIA hears appeals from decisions by immigration judges. Matters the BIA can review include:
The naturalization processing time, from the time you file your citizenship application to when you attend the Oath of Allegiance ceremony, is between 18 and 24 months.
The first step is to file an Application for Naturalization (Form N-400) and pay the filing fee. You can fill out and mail a paper application or complete it online.
The next step is setting up your biometrics appointment. During this appointment, you’ll have your fingerprints taken at your local USCIS field office. The fingerprinting is done to conduct a background check and takes place about one month after your application is received.
The citizenship interview typically takes place around 14 months after filing your application. During the interview, a USCIS officer will verify the information on your application. The interview will take place at the nearest USCIS office.
The USCIS officer will also give you a two-part naturalization test (unless you qualify for an exemption). The first part is an English language test that evaluates your written and spoken English skills. The second test assesses your knowledge of U.S. history and how the government works.
After your application is approved, you will attend an oath of allegiance ceremony. You are not a U.S. citizen until you have taken the Oath of Allegiance.
