Immigrants in Miami

According to data compiled during the 2010 census, nearly 14 percent of the population of Miami identify as immigrants. The Miami Immigration Court handles cases involving immigration status, removal of individuals and families illegally in the U.S. and other issues relevant to legal and undocumented immigrants. The diverse population of Miami has cemented its position as a truly cosmopolitan city. This, in turn, has attracted immigrants from around the world who want to participate in the American Dream.

Criteria for Cancellation of Removal

In general, successful applicants for cancellation of removal must have at least 10 years of residency in the U.S. They must be of good moral character and must not have been convicted of certain serious felonies. Finally, your attorney must show that your removal from the country would cause severe hardship to one or more family members who are citizens of the U.S. or are lawful permanent residents here. This can sometimes prove adequate to reverse removal proceedings against you and to ensure that you can continue to live and work in the U.S.
