Suspension of Deportation and Cancellation of Removal

Samenvatting

This rule amends the regulations of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) by eliminating the conditional grant process at 8 CFR 240.21, and establishing a permanent procedure for processing suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal cases. This rule is necessary to implement the numerical limitation on suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal and adjustment of status imposed by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) and the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act of 1997 (NACARA).
