Many of our clients come to us from the 74th Street corridor, 37th Avenue, and surrounding Jackson Heights neighborhoods. We understand the specific visa and immigration pathways common to South Asian immigrants including H-1B, L-1, EB-2 NIW, and family-based categories.
Can a long-term resident of Jackson Heights apply for Cancellation of Removal?
Non-LPR Cancellation of Removal is available to undocumented individuals who have lived continuously in the U.S. for 10 years, have good moral character, and can demonstrate exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR spouse, parent, or child. This is a high standard but available to many long-term Jackson Heights residents. We assess eligibility during a confidential case review.
