Suspension of Deportation and Cancellation of Removal

Resumo

This rule amends the regulations of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) and Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) by establishing a procedure for processing suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal and adjustment of status cases. This rule is a partial and transitional measure to implement provisions of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) relating to suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal. This transitional policy will be reevaluated after the Department determines how best to implement sections (304(a)(3) and 309(c)(7) of IIRIRA.
