C1D visa

As a person coming to the US with a C1/D visa, you are not qualified to apply for cancellation of removal as crewmen are specifically barred from this relief by statute.  If you were in another category than crewman, you could apply at the end of the 10 years as long as you have a parent, spouse, or child who is a US citizen or permanent resident. You would have to prove 10 years unbroken residence, good moral character, and exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to your qualifying relative if the cancellation of removal application is not granted.
