Program Description

Cancellation of removal under the Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA") is a generous form of relief for noncitizen survivors of abuse who are faced with removal proceedings. However, VAWA Cancellation is an often overlooked form of relief as it is less known that the VAWA self-petition process and it is the least common type of cancellation of removal. During this webinar, the speakers will discuss the eligibility criteria, the evidentiary standard, procedural issues, and strategic considerations for VAWA cancellation.
