INSTRUCTIONS
1. PREPARATION OF APPLICATION.
To apply for cancellation of removal as a permanent resident under section 240A(a) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (INA), you must fully and accurately answer all questions on the attached Form EOIR-42A. You must also comply
with all of the instructions on this form. These instructions have the force of law. A separate application must be
prepared and executed for each person applying for cancellation of removal. An application on behalf of a noncitizen
who is mentally incompetent or is a child under 14 years of age shall be executed by a parent or guardian.
Your responses must be typed or printed legibly in ink. Do not leave any questions unanswered or blank. If any
questions do not apply to you, write "none" or "not applicable" in the appropriate space.
To the extent possible, answer all questions directly on the form. If there is insufficient room to respond fully to a
question, please continue your response on an additional sheet of paper. Please indicate the number of the question being
answered next to your response on the additional sheet, write your alien registration ("A") number, print your name, and
sign, date, and securely attach each additional sheet to the Form EOIR-42A.

2. BURDEN OF PROOF.
The burden of proof is on you to prove that you meet all of the statutory requirements for cancellation of removal for
certain permanent resident aliens under section 240A(a) of the INA and that you are entitled to such relief as a matter of
discretion. To meet this burden, your responses to the questions on the application should be as detailed and complete as
possible. You should also attach to your application any documents that demonstrate your eligibility for relief
(see "SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS" below).

3. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS.
You should submit with your application copies of any documents which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),
formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS"), issued to you. You should submit documents demonstrating
your eligibility for cancellation of removal, including documents that demonstrate you are a person who warrants a favorable
exercise of discretion, such as letters of recommendation from members of the community and employers, tax returns,
employment records, school records, volunteer service, church records, etc. You must also submit documents related to your
criminal history, if any, including conviction records. The Immigration Judge may require you to submit additional records
relating to your request for cancellation of removal.
The original of all supporting documents must be available for inspection at the hearing. If you wish to have the original
documents returned to you, you should also present copies.

4. REQUIRED BIOMETRIC AND BIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION.
Each applicant 14 years of age or older must also comply with the requirement to supply biometric and biographic
information. You will be given instructions on how to complete this requirement. You will be notified in writing of the
location of the DHS USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) or the designated Law Enforcement Agency where you
must go to provide biometric and biographic information. You will also be given a date and time for the appointment. It
is important to furnish all the required information. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in a delay in your
biometrics appointment or in your application being deemed abandoned and dismissed by the Immigration Court.

5. TRANSLATIONS.
Any document in a foreign language must be accompanied by an English language translation and a certificate signed
by the translator stating that he/she is competent to translate the document and that the translation is true and accurate
to the best of the translator's abilities. Such certification must be printed legibly or typed.

6. FEES.
Before you file your Form EOIR-42A with the Immigration Court, you must pay the required $100 filing fee and the
biometrics fee to the DHS. Evidence of payment of these fees in the form of a copy of the USCIS ASC notice of fee
receipt and biometrics appointment instructions must accompany your Form EOIR-42A. These fees will not be
refunded, regardless of the action taken on your application. Therefore, it is important that you read the advice,
instructions, and application carefully before responding. If you are unable to pay the filing fee, you may ask the
Immigration Judge to permit you to file your Form EOIR-42A without having to pay the fee by including a
completed EOIR-26A Fee Waiver form with your application.

DO NOT SEND CASH. All fees must be submitted in the exact amount. Remittance may be made by personal
check, cashier's check, certified bank check, bank international money order, or foreign draft drawn on a financial
institution in the United States and payable to the "Department of Homeland Security'' in United States currency. If the
applicant resides in the Virgin Islands, the check or money order must be payable to the "Commissioner of Finance of
the Virgin Islands." If the applicant resides in Guam, the check or money order must be made payable to the "Treasurer,
Guam." Personal checks are accepted subject to collectibility. An uncollectible check will render the application and
any docu-ments issued pursuant thereto invalid. A charge of $30.00 will be imposed if a check in payment of a fee is
not honored by the bank on which it is drawn. When the check is drawn on an account of a person other than the
applicant, the name and alien registration ("A") number of the applicant must be entered on the face of the check. All
checks must be drawn on a bank located in the United States.
7. SERVING & FILING YOUR APPLICATION.

You must first comply with the DHS instructions for providing biometric and biographic information to
USCIS, which involves sending a copy of the application to the appropriate USCIS Service Center. The
DHS instructions also address payment of the application fees.

You must answer all questions on Form EOIR-42A truthfully and submit only genuine documents in support of your
application. You will be required to swear or affirm that the contents of your application and the supporting documents
are true to the best of your knowledge. Your answer to the questions on this form and the supporting documents you
present will be used to determine whether your removal should be cancelled and whether you should be permitted to
retain your permanent resident status. Any answer you give and any supporting document you present may also be used
as evidence in any proceeding to determine your right to be admitted or readmitted, re-enter, pass through, or reside in
the United States. Your application may be denied if any of your answers or supporting documents are found to be false.
Presenting false answers or false documents may also subject you to criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. section 1546

application, or any supporting document, contains any false statement with respect to a material fact, or if you swear or
affirm that the contents of your application and the supporting documents are true, knowing that the application or any
supporting documents contain any false statement with respect to a material fact. If convicted, you could be fined up to
$250,000, imprisoned for up to ten (10) years, or both. 18 U.S.C. sections 1546(a), 3559(a)(4), 3571(b)(3). If it is determined you have violated the prohibition against document fraud and a final order is entered against you, you could be
subject to a civil penalty up to $2,000 for each document used or created for the first offense, and up to $5,000 for any
second, or subsequent offense. In addition, if you are the subject of a final order for violating 8 U.S.C. section 1324(c),
relating to civil penalties for document fraud, you will be removable from the United States.

9. PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT NOTICE.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. We try to create forms and instructions that are accurate, can easily be under-stood,
and which impose the least possible burden on you to provide us with information. Often, this process is difficult because
some immigration laws are very complex. The reporting burden for this collection of information is computed as follows:
(1) learning about the form, 50 minutes, (2) completing the form, 2 hours, and (3) assembling and filing the form, 3
hours, for an average of 5 hours, 50 minutes per application. If you have comments regarding the accuracy of this burden
estimate, or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this bur-den, you may
write to the U.S. Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review, Office of the General Counsel, 5107
Leesburg Pike, Suite 2600, Falls Church, Virginia 22041.
