Today, a Kenyan client who I have represented over the past 10 years was granted Cancellation of Removal by Judge Sholomson of the Los Angeles Immigration Court. This result was the product of exhaustive litigation from USCIS, to the Immigration Court, through the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeas, back down to the BIA on remand from the 9th Circuit, and then ultimately back to the Immigration Judge on remand from the BIA, where the case was ultimately granted. It should be noted that Judge Sholomson was not the original trial judge from which the case was first appealed.
Cancellation of Removal accords lawful permanent residence (LPR) status in a somewhat similar manner to an adjustment of status. However, the litigation of cancellation claims is far more involved and technical than most adjustment cases.
Chow & Hamilton, congratulates this client and expresses the Client's thanks to both the Court and Government's counsel for their sensitivity and thoughtfulness in this matter.
