There are several reasons why you might be deported from the U.S., including status violations, marriage fraud, terrorist activities, conviction of an aggravated felony, firearms violations, drug-related offenses, and more.
One form of relief from deportation is a suspension. To qualify, you must be physically present in the US for seven years prior to your application. You also have to have maintained good moral character for those seven years.
Another requirement is proving that you or your family will be subjected to extreme hardship if you're deported. If your spouse, children, or parents are US citizens or residents, and they would undergo extreme hardship if you're deported, you might be eligible as well.
Battered spouses, children, and parents of a battered child may apply for a suspension if they've been physically present in the US for three years, are of good moral character, and can prove extreme hardship. Extreme hardship can be based on your age, family ties in the US and abroad, health conditions, financial status, position in the community, conditions in your home country, or persecution.
To file for a suspension, use form I-2-46-A. If you’re granted a suspension of deportation, you'll automatically be given permanent resident status.
