This webinar will cover the law governing cancellation of removal for non-permanent residents under INA § 240A(b)(1), and battered spouse/VAWA cancellation of removal under INA § 240A(b)(2). We will review current case law and practical tips to maximize your client's chances of winning in Immigration Court.
