In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood immigration court reliefs: Cancellation of Removal, also known as 42B or “the 10-year rule.” Many people believe simply living in the U.S. for 10 years is enough — but the reality is far more complicated.

We explain the four mandatory requirements for 42B:
• 10 years of continuous physical presence prior to the Notice to Appear
• Good moral character and no disqualifying criminal history
• No aggravated felonies or prior deportation orders
• The highest legal standard in immigration court: exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative

We also answer listener questions, including why living in the U.S. for 15 years is not enough, why 42B can only be filed in immigration court (not USCIS), how judges evaluate disabilities, and how one of our clients won her case with two U.S. citizen children with Down syndrome.

Understanding this relief is critical — most applicants fail because they misunderstand continuous presence, hardship standards, or qualifying relatives.
